"What's the matter? You never had someone work on your side before?"

"I have.. I just don't know that I can trust you." "I think the bigger concern is, Can I trust you?"

Captain looked Mono dead in the eyes and she told him he could trust her..

She lied.

(Author's narration)
Myers had already known.

"Tell the truth Henry!" "When did you tell Myers?" Amari had pushed Henry to the wall to get him to confess. "What?" Henry was confused. "Tell them Henry.." Heelix said. "What I didn't fucking tell!" "Henry!" Heelix yelled. "I told Amari I wouldn't tell! Their plan was so badly thought of, I figured Myers would already find out. I wasn't going to tell Myers! They'd just throw her back in a jail anyway!" "Awe, so you thought of her?" "According to everyone, I think of her everyday."

Amari further pressed her elbow into Henry's neck.

"No, I think he's telling the truth.. Henry didn't tell." "What?" She let go. "You told Myers?" "He had already known. I could tell by his deminior.." "What the fuck Heelix? Why wouldn't you tell the captain?"

Heelix looked away without answering Amari.

"You're hiding something.. from the Captain?" "No, I did. I owe my life to him.." "And what do you owe to Mono? All those times she saved you?" "She's safe." Heelix responded, apathetic. "Yeah, in a fucking jail cell.. being poked and prodded by fucking needles! Great morals Heels!"

Amari left leaving us both alone.

Henry thought to himself of how Myers could have already been informed by Mono's attempt to escape.
..
"With your dear Alice.. If not death, what do you think would have separated the two of you?" I was so confused. "Uh.. I'm not getting it.. What do you mean by that?" "Did you trust Alice?" I just thought of a way to answer him. "Of course I did! And she trusted me too!" Myers groaned. "I-I had nothing to do with the Mono escape plan.. Hey, where are you keeping her anyway?" "That's not why you 're here Henry."

Myers kept looking out his window.

"What is love with betrayal? Dishonesty has never been apart of 'Love.." "I'm sorry Myers, but I don't think Mono is the type to love. All she cares about is herself.. Who were the guys that came to get her anyway?"

"Myers? You're meeting has begun." The secretary walked in.

Myers still stood facing the window, drinking scotch from his glass.

He had a bottle of Macallan on his desk. I never seen Myers drink that before.

The secretary gave me a dirty look. Henry got out of his seat and left.
..
Maybe that was the deepest I've got with Myers.. He told me, "Henry, we were dear friends once." I guess I couldn't remember.

We were assigned a new captain.
