Summary
"Tell me, Brooklynn, have you ever heard of golden blood?"
Brooklynn stared. The Broker stared back. "Uh," Brooklynn said, unsure. "Sounds fancy."
Soyona laughed, her head tilting back, the long expanse of her throat bare and exposed, and Brooklynn briefly entertained the fantasy of grabbing hold of a candelabrum and stabbing the lit ends into her throat. She imagined it would be warm. "Sure," she allowed, seeming to catch her breath in a way that Brooklynn knew was purely to mock her. "Fancy." Her gaze cut sharply to Brooklynn. "If I were you, though, I would use rare. It is the rarest of blood types, Brooklynn. Rh-null." Soyona paused, lowering her chin, tilting her head to a side, assessing Brooklynn coldly. "And you, Brooklynn," the Broker said, "are a truly rare delicacy, aren't you?"
"Um," Brooklynn said. "I'm not quite sure I'd describe myself that way, but thanks. I guess."

Summary
Brooklynn had a dresser, a rather nice one, and she was tempted to call it mahogany because that felt dresser-typical, and within this dresser, Soyona had allowed her quite an array of little bits. Makeup brushes, hair brushes, a makeup bag, a veritable arsenal of jewellery.
It was from this arsenal that she had selected her weapon.
Brooklynn had considered it long and hard in the few months she had been there, under the Broker's care, in the vampire's lair. If her goal was to end the human trafficking operation, then was the Broker's not the head to go for? The most important one, the most vital one? Was hers not the head to place upon the board and chop? Would that not be the much deserved end to this whole sordid affair?
Was Soyona not giving her the opportunity for exactly that?

Summary
Soyona's smile edged into the faintest smirk. "I've told you, haven't I? You're a rather rare delicacy. Rare enough that some may doubt your existence."
"Right," Brooklynn said, nodding, only half-listening. "Right."
Soyona seemed to have, somehow, known this, because her long nails caught onto the tender skin at Brooklynn's wrist, skimming right over her pulse, and Brooklynn did not, resolutely, shiver. "Brooklynn," she said, and Brooklynn looked at her, her painted lips and her drawn eyes and her glittering cheekbones, her too-human eyes. "You are my partner now. You are as instrumental to me as the very air I breathe."
Brooklynn shifted, the dagger weighing heavily in her suit jacket. She could unsheathe it now, stab Soyona now, easily sink the sharp blade into the soft flesh of Soyona's stomach, feel the stretch and the give of her skin and muscle and tissue as she did so, watch the red bleed out onto the white airy cloth of her shirt, staining and spreading like wine. It would be so easy. "I'm your partner," she said instead, like a reminder, an agreement.

Summary
Brooklynn had never intended to let it go so far.
She had never intended to kill for the Broker.
And yet, here she found herself, weeks after that first kill, still scrubbing at the blood beneath her fingernails, dotting her palm, trying not to think about the letter she had received earlier that day.
Word had, apparently, gotten out that the Broker had a human watchdog, and the Nublar Six- Five- wanted answers. Brooklynn was only surprised that it had taken them so long. She wondered who it was who had first set pen to paper, resolving to bring their questions to light. Who it was among them that had been fool enough to send them along. Brooklynn was only glad that they had had enough sense to be discrete, to write nothing out in plain words.
Brooklynn scrubbed at her hand harder.

Summary
"I just… is this a good idea?"
Soyona shook her wrist out at Brooklynn, the loose cloth of her wide sleeve falling gracefully to her elbow, the golden band with the remote snug around her wrist and turned to look at her. "Yes. Not keeping her on a leash is a more… daring show of power than most would attempt. We will present as strong. Trust me, Brooklynn."
Brooklynn resisted the fierce urge to look away, which, in all honesty, may not have been her best decision, Soyona's gaze a deep and dark well she found herself tripping into, falling into headfirst with sickening vertigo. She was, for all intents and purposes, trapped, and completely unable to look away. "I do," Brooklynn told her in a voice that tumbled out like a murmur, soft and quiet and trembling.
And, to Brooklynn's abject horror, she found that she meant it.

Summary
Brooklynn was not thinking of Soyona.
She did not think of her hands or her mouth or her eyes or the feel of her breathy laugh against her skin. Brooklynn was not thinking of her.
Brooklynn could not be thinking of her, not here, not now, not when she was so close to unravelling her. Brooklynn would not think of her, not in any terms that did not aid her goal.
The problem, perhaps, was Soyona's lipstick on Brooklynn's lips, applied with meticulous care by none other than Soyona herself before they made their entrance to this banquet. The problem was, perhaps, Soyona's clothes on Brooklynn, the sigh of cloth against her skin. The problem was, perhaps, the knowledge of Brooklynn's perfume on Soyona's skin.

Summary
Brooklynn had run and not looked back.
She hadn't wanted to see what Red would do, hadn't wanted to look upon the fruits of her own actions, the fucking consequences, hadn't wanted to face herself and what this choice, this decision of hers, made her. Or maybe what it meant she had been all along.
Brooklynn felt monstrous.
"Ben," she had managed to rasp out, and the smoke had crept into her lungs, a burning path right through, and she thought, deliriously, of Soyona. She cleared her throat weakly and did not look at him, grabbing ahold of his arm like a lifeline. "Ben, let's… can we just go?" She sounded tired, exhausted, even to her own ears, and she felt Ben's gaze on her, worried, maybe, or sick, nauseated by what he had just seen.
Brooklynn wouldn't have blamed him.
