I told Harris I wasn't part of his organization anymore... I should have just told him to go to hell. Why didn’t I go right to Jonathan… instead of letting myself be compromised?
I compound every mistake by my silence… even more than by my damned lies. More than my career is over… I’ve betrayed not only my captain but the only man I’ve ever loved, ever trusted.
Harris cares nothing about me or my career. He simply uses people.
The question in Jonathan’s eyes penetrates my silence, my isolation.
Why?
