You are so smart, but you really need to keep important information to yourself. Don’t you know how many people would pay me to know when he will be out and it’s only you in this house?
Regan
Please don’t tell people.
Please, Rook. I already hate being here alone. Don’t make it worse.
Rook
Does this mean you are done being scared of me? Maybe, learning there are other things more dangerous to you than me?
Regan
Maybe you aren’t as scary as you thought.
Rook
Or maybe you’re a devil yourself. Why fear what is your equal?
It wasn’t a far-fetched idea. Her father could have raised her to be as ruthless and destructive as he was. I wondered how dark her world got. Did he show her he killed people? That he protected shitty people and ruined lives to make his money.
Anger flared at her, but I tamped it down. She could be naïve to the entire world or know every single detail. I needed to keep pushing to find out.
Regan
Equal? You think I could kill you?
Rook
Could you? No. Do you kind of want to? Yes.
Regan
I’m done with your creepiness. Go away.
Rook
I’m done with your clothes. Make them go away.
Regan
Creep.
You can’t watch me all night. You have to sleep at some point.
Rook
You sitting around looking at a computer and watching the same old tv show is going to make me fall asleep. What are you looking at, anyway?
Regan
Would you rather some trashy reality TV show?
And I’m not looking at anything. I’m drawing.
Rook
