Piecing together the mystery of Michael Scofield was as familiar as coming home.
Michael was cleverer than most, his planning more complex. His was a vintage Mahone had longed to sip—the talented amateur, as born to deception as breathing, with an intelligence that rivaled Mahone's own.
Mahone liked to think he'd have been given Michael's case anyway, based on history and merit. But he knew better. He was a puppet now, enslaved by his secrets and addictions, while Michael remained the adversary of a lifetime.
Drugged-out and disgraced, Mahone would strive to the utmost to be worthy of him.
