Get in, get close, get the intel, and get out. It’s that simple.Or at least, it usually is.I don’t get attached to suspects. I know who he is. I knew the minute my eyes connected with his across the auditorium.He’s a ruthless, bloodthirsty criminal. A mafia prince with a nice smile and a pretty set of dimples.I won’t let myself fall under his spell. I need to remind myself that he’s a job. A target. Nothing more, nothing less. Just another good-for-nothing lowlife who deserves to rot behind bars.And I plan to be the one to put him there, along with the rest of the organization he likes to call family. less
