Things Will Get Better
Trapped between guilt and hope, you stand at a crossroads. After Elizabeth's kidnapping and the weight of past mistakes, returning to prison seems like the only way to stop hurting everyone around you. But a visit from an unlikely friend and the reappearance of your closest ally might just offer a path forward. Will you surrender to darkness or fight for the freedom you've worked so hard to earn?I sit alone watching the rain streak down the windows of June's mansion. The gray sky matches my mood perfectly. The house feels empty without June here on her extended vacation, and I can't stop replaying the events of the past few months in my head. Elizabeth's kidnapping, Peter's anger, Mozzie's betrayal with the Nazi treasure... it all adds up to one conclusion: I'm poison to everyone around me.
I glance at the signed forms on my desk—documents that will terminate my deal with the FBI and send me back to prison. It's where I belong. The forms will go on Peter's desk Monday morning, and then I'll wait calmly at my desk for the Marshals to collect me.
The doorbell rings, shattering my morbid reverie. I consider ignoring it, but it might be one of June's friends who doesn't know she's away. With a heavy sigh, I descend the stairs and open the door, surprised to find Bobby standing on the doorstep—the one prison guard who treated me with decency during my incarceration.
"Bobby? What are you doing here?"
