[Drabble Challenge | 25 Drabbles - Table 1]

#4 - Lies

Mike sees through some of them, especially small ones (first day they met and already he's covering for him with a mint), but bigger ones -- the ones he tells himself -- seem to be hidden better.

But there's still someone who sees through them. At times it scares him how well Joe knows him; how deeply into his twisted psyche the man can see.

He says it's Claire he loves, and they both know it hasn't been for years. He says death doesn't fuel him, but this is the most alive he's felt in a decade.

He can't lie to Joe.

21. Power (Writer's Choice)

His first kill, and he's angry but removed from it; holding the gun on his father's killer until the guy kills himself with the very drugs he stole the money to buy.

There are kills in the Bureau, but shooting the bad guy when they leave you no choice is just part of the job. More questionable when he's hunting Joe and his Followers the second time; not all of those are righteous kills.

It isn't until Giselle, knife thrust deep and her life's blood flowing over his hands, that he thinks he might finally understand the power Joe feels...
