A Shameless Little Lie

I did it. I admit it. I fell in love with Silas. My bodyguard. My protector. My new informant. We’re playing a cat-and-mouse game. I’m not sure whether I’m the cat or the mouse, but I can definitely tell I’m in a trap. A trap with no way out. I’m not who everyone thought I was. The truth is out there, finally turning the lie about me inside out. I am the shameless little lie. It’s finally been revealed, and now even more people want to kill me. As a presidential campaign hangs in the balance, a delicate web of international relations and economic stability at risk, power becomes more important than anything else. Even my life. Especially my life. I’m a nothing. A no one. Just a tool, remember? But tools can be used to open locks. Cracking open the truth and exposing it could change the balance of power. Tip the scales. Make a presidential campaign turn on a dime. Too bad Silas doesn’t believe me when I tell the truth. And that may make him the biggest tool of all.
