veronica_marsEverything - and that should hardly surprise you. After all, my dad’s a PI and I’ve gotten myself something of a reputation in the past year and a half - you’re not safe until you know it all. And even then, the odds are stacked against you once you decide to let someone in.
The trick is to know so much that you can hurt them more than they can hurt you - once you hold the cards, it’s harder for them to walk away. Maybe if I’d embraced this philosophy or maybe if Dad had been a little bit more cynical during my tender, early-teenage years, I could have saved myself a little bit of hearbreak when Duncan broke up with me.
Of course, you can never know everything - not entirely. Emotions, feelings, thoughts - people can lock these up inside, keep them private. Everybody deserves that, it’s part of being human. Still, it’d be nice to have access - to know what they’re thinking. Does Logan care about me? Does Duncan? Why did my mother abandon me? What does my father do with that mystery bag on Tuesday and Thursday nights?
I wish my PI database expanded to that sort of information. Type in my user ID and twelve-character passcode and voila! Instant insight. Of course, this information wouldn’t be for the weak of will - or heart, and I’m not sure how strong I’d really be if I had all of this information.
Still. It’d be something, wouldn’t it?
