We are the best. I can say that without any trace of arrogance. We are the top; we have saved lives consistently, almost constantly, since we joined CI5. We're the 'Terrible Twins', 'The Bistro Kids', a double-act. We rely on each other, always watching each other's backs. Never leaving the other while in trouble, we would always find our partner.
But that was yesterday.
One day we didn't trust us. I didn't trust him. I pushed him aside instead of listening. I chose to stay angry instead of leaving the matter. I didn't want to be friends. More than that, I didn't want to be partners. Teams don't work when the people are mad. Then we had that assignment. I didn't listen to him. I didn't believe him. I didn't want to believe him. That's worse than a crime. That's a sin. I can't stop thinking about it, what I could have done.
If I had made up yesterday things would have been so different. But yesterday's gone.
And Ray's never coming back.
