    Summary

    "Jamie’s fairly certain at this point that it is the natural order of things: you have to go out and drag joy home by the ear if you want any. So, he’s got no problem with that, he never did really. It’s just, well, it’s been increasingly difficult to do that. Or to feel anything other than… He’s not entirely sure what to call the weight pressing down on his chest when he sits in the locker room before training, but it’s that. All the time. And it is fucking Zava’s fault."

    ...

    The evening before Richmond's last training for the Boxing Day fixture, Jamie feels so alone that he decides to go and buy a Christmas tree for the first time in his life. He gets in a car accident on his way there.

    He's not sure how he could have alerted anyone of that fact with his phone gone and probably broken to pieces, but people seem weirdly mad about it. Jamie's convinced that's also Zava's fault.

    Summary

    Jamie has this dream, sometimes. It starts, and he can’t breathe, and he can’t wake up.

    It’s like: He’s in a car, and he’s driving real fucking fast, and for some reason it’s dark out and he can’t see for shit but he’s still not slowing down.

    It’s like: He doesn’t want to slow down.

    It’s like: He’s in a car, and he’s driving real fucking fast, and for some reason it’s dark out and he can’t see for shit but he’s still not slowing down and there’s a cliff rising in front of him, closer and closer and closer, and he might not be able to see for shit but for some reason he can see that cliff and the empty abyss beyond it.

    It’s like: He knows the cliff is coming and he doesn’t want to slow down.

    Jamie has this dream, sometimes. It ends, and he wakes up, and he still can’t breathe.

    Summary

    ‘The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow - H.G. Wells’. The list of people Rebecca could trust that weren’t on Rupert's payroll was painfully short. She didn’t expect the person she called to be a FBI agent who had been undercover investigating her soon to be ex-husband and his associates.

    When she’d retired the Lauren Reynolds cover, Emily firmly believed she was done with Interpol and undercover operations. That changed with a phone call.
