Sapphire always dreamed about moving to the "Big City." When the opportunity came up for her to work at NYC's biggest undercover institute for the criminally insane, she couldn't resist.
Her first pat...
I know you might be wondering what happened that night after the takedown of Bridgewater's facility.
Well...Jack and Raven decided to appear at my place until my father gave them orders. And not only did I find out about Jack being undercover, but that he worked for my father. The man I've known all my life, kept such a huge secret from me.
I would've been a perfect addition to his crew, but I'm sure he's gonna say how he was trying to keep me safe! That's just straight bullshit though!
Why teach me how to fight? Why teach me how to fire guns? Why would a therapist like me, need such training? None of it makes any sense, but at least now I know why he was so adamant all those years ago about my dedication to learn.
Right now, I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone! I keep looking at myself in the mirror and then back down to my fist dripping blood.

I wanted my subconscious to talk to me again. I wanted her to come out and tell me how worthless my life was. How I'm just a stupid little girl with a more fucked up mind then the patients I call myself helping.
Am I really about this life? Or does my knowledge and skill go beyond what I'm actually doing?
I turned on the water and cleaned up the cut on my fist. I stared in the mirror one last time before scuffling for scissors in my drawer.
This woman in the mirror no longer wanted to play by the rules or answer to those who considered themselves authority. I was going to put matters into my own hands.
Even though all of that drama happened at the facility, I still have a job to do. I must continue as if I don't know anything that's going on and get to the bottom of this mystery takeover.
I'm sure everything is going to be normal when I go in tomorrow. I just have a new boss...simple as that. But then there's Brody, what the hell am I gonna do about him? He's probably still going to try his hand and who knows what kind of mood he's in.
The tricky part is that he can sense a change in my personality a mile away. It's like he can sniff that shit out. What if I play him at his own game? I could pose as if I'm trying to be by his side, then take down the entire Empire!
My father would be pleased, but is he any better than the rest of them?!
I began clipping away at my once long locs of hair! Snip after snip, I felt relief from the pressure that laid on my chest. I looked in the mirror breathing deep and trying to regain focus.
After I finished cutting the back, I shoved the scissors back in the drawer.
Breathe in...breathe out.
I began to put on my best poker face and walk back out there. Jack paced the floor while Raven spoke on the phone to someone...most likely my father.
