It's tempting--very tempting--to say I've killed people, or maybe just Everyone still alive at home is deadly. But it would be stupid, too, and not just because she's learned from the hospital that what people know about you, they can use to hurt you.

He's right that she's not a predator. She didn't like killing people, and if she's going to do it, she wants to be sure she's killing the ones who really need to die. That might be deadly, but it's probably not deadlier than the average gangster. Saying anything would be stupid, especially if it got around enough that other people took notice and figured they could take advantage of the opportunity.

Nobody's ever going to use her to do their dirty work again. Not if she can help it.

So she just shrugs, her gaze lingering a moment too long before she turns her attention back to the landscape. "I think I'll skip it. Sounds like it's run by a bunch of jerks."
