A Two-Person Game
By Helen W.
A Faith post-episode drabble
Who'd have thought, Everett wondered, that Matt Scott could be more work than Nicholas Rush?
What got Everett was that the kid, after what he'd tried to pull, still wanted Everett's approval. If the last few months had taught Everett anything, it was that every action had a price. Matt had somehow missed this; guh, youth.
Had Rush ever learned this? Or did he just not care? The man was still a cipher.
But for once, Everett realized, Rush had given away more than he'd meant to. It didn't take a genius to know that chess was a two-person game.
