E-Mails to Adrienne and Manuel

Subject: What the fuck?

Okay, so I gave you a couple days time to get over it, hit things, think, whatever. So, now I am asking: What the fuck happened between you and de la Rocha to make you totally evade questions and ditch out like you suddenly realized the spouse of the person you were having an affair with was coming up the driveway? Seriously, you don't usually just walk the fuck out on me.

Subject: What the fuck did you do to Adrienne?

So I'm hanging out with my mate the other day, she brings up the fact that she's not bringing something up which eventually turns out to be related to you. When I asked she got really down with the evasion tactics, would only say that she threw up after dinner with you and then walked out on me, which she has never done before no matter how many buttons of hers I insist on pushing. So I am asking you in no uncertain terms: What the fuck happened that she's being so dodgy about because unless she's developed a model-level bulimia addiction I can't think of why she'd ditch like that. Best I can figure is it has something to do with you two and your dinner the other night.

P.S. Evasion is really not the way to handle this e-mail either in case you were considering.

Perhaps. Though, honestly, I'm not really sure how long I might be around now so the arm's length is probably best kept intact for a bit anyway. We wouldn't want you getting attached to me using you as a pillow only for me to leave, would we?

I highly doubt that would happen. Are you planning to leave?

Don't lie, you love being a pillow. I was planning to leave in November. A friend got his arm ripped off and no body turned up until earlier this month when everyone was found. I had delayed departure until the fate of the four was known. Now that they have been recovered I have to decide if I am going to continue with my plans or not.

Perhaps you should consider staying, considering you have "not enemies" here?
A departure seems abrupt, even from you.

I've been offered a job which would keep me here. I am considering it. I don't know, though.

I miss my guys. They're my family. They're all I've had for the past nine years. I never expected to be gone this long. In November I just got sick of not being there. It seemed stupid to try to help win back New York City when I really had no reason to care what happened to the place while there are people I do care about who get shot at on a daily basis. The departure's been a long time coming. Maybe it seems abrupt because no one but me realized it.

Consider Adrienne someone you would leave behind. Other than that, I cannot see anything beyond new beginings for someone like you. Such as myself, a coma was a new begining, however, I am the only one who realizes this because I wear the same skin as before, but not the same heart.

I suppose some people need to be taken out of their life before they can find a new approach for it. Such as you. Maybe I'm the same. I don't know. I'm really not sure what I'm going to do. I've never had to make a decision like this. It was easier to have my place, understand it and just stick to it. Options aren't something I've really had in a long time. I guess I'll figure it out eventually.
