Author's Note: This is why I shouldn't be allowed to watch TV. After listening to Dino talk about Burn Notice and knowing that we tend to have similar tastes, I decided to check it out. Many bunnies attacked. I love Michael's little monologues. It was the look on his face during this scene that spawned this little drabble. Just trying to find Michael's voice here.

There are some things you just shouldn't know, images that get fried into your visual memory and just make you want to reach for a bottle of brain bleach. Watching as a trusted operative gets nabbed by a Libyan death squad and knowing that there is nothing you can do or you'll blow your cover. That's right up there at the top of the list.
But standing in your mother's kitchen while she tries to justify why she just slept with the client you were hiding out at her house as an image of her in bed with a man she just met the day before doing… well, you know. There's not enough bleach in the world to wipe out that image. All you can do is file it away with all of the other unpleasant things that are stuck in your head and hope your training kicks in to keeps it buried, deep.
