Summary
Kovacs sighs and leans against the sturdy wall of the HQ. The way he ruffles through his hair has something strangely intimate. If anybody understands, it's her.
"This system is corrupt, Kristin. So corrupt."
"That why they let you out? To do their dirty work?"
He scoffs.
"I wish that's all it was. I offered, you know? A little bloodshed's nothing if you're good at it, not if you get freedom in return...for a while it was good work." His eyes go distant. "Until it wasn't."
Or: Kovacs, pet sociopath of the Dauntless leaders is let out of his confinement to find the would-be killer of an influential Erudite.
Kristin, a young aspiring Lieutenant feels the need to defend her jurisdiction and discovers that things don't match up as they should…plus the guy she follows looks exactly like her ex.
Kovacs makes her irritated beyond reason, and she can't figure out why. Professional, that's all they are…right?
