Every step was placed carefully and firmly, her body moving through the air with a dangerous grace. She stared straight ahead, fingers carefully wrapped around the papers she had printed in the archives. She looked like she was about to kill somebody. Walking into Jack's office without knocking, she stood in the doorway. "I'm going to Cleveland to determine who is stealing my drug and your trainer is going to Cleveland to get himself killed." As far as she was concerned, her job was done, but she didn't immediately leave.

What other people might see as cold and expressionless, Jack should know as her about to snap. When Venus yells, she's upset. When she's cold... "Somebody is stealing one of my drugs in Cleveland and using it to poison people." She said quietly. "I am going to stop it." Then, her eyes glassed over with the look she was infamous for. "And your trainer is extending his vacation to go and get himself killed. Also in Cleveland."

It's the only thing Jack can think as he sighs. "Alright. Let's go find Mat."

"You want to do that, you're on your own," she hissed, biting the inside of her cheek. There was no "we" right then. If she went around Mat again, she may very well stab him.

A part of her wanted somebody, anybody, to convince Mat not to go. Or, at least, not to go alone. "He's going to get killed," she said, her voice almost a mewl. She walked into the office and set HC's small file on his desk. Then, she turned around, and he'd see a shake in her fingers. She moved to walk out, having done her job.

Jack says simply, staring at the file.

There was a slight shaking to her entire body, then, and she was glad Jack couldn't see her face. He was going to avenge his child. Who could convince him not to? Her head lowered, gaze on the floor. The behavior was extremely abnormal for the spy, and knowing she was exposing a weakness made it even worse for her. She curled her fingers around the frame. "Then what?" She asked. "What do I do?"

Hmm?" She asked, whipping around to face him once more. She was shaking, then, and the look on her face was... fear. "Oh, I'm sorry, Mat. I don't want you to go after your daughter's killer because you'll end up dying and I'm a greedy bitch that doesn't want to see you die?" Though her anger wasn't at Jack, he was getting the brunt of it. But it was... different. A very different kind of anger.

She moved back to his desk but managed not to stab anything. Or hit anything. "He would even say so. That he's fine dying. Or give me some arrogant speech about how he won't die, he'll be just fine." A swallow, an attempt to regain control and keep the tears from her eyes. "Isn't it greed to tell someone that you don't want them to die when they'd be perfectly fine doing so?"

She stood there and stared at Jack, trying to make sense of that. How in the world was it NORMAL? Mat wouldn't see it that way. She felt certain of that. She hung her head again, placing her hands against the edge of his desk. The pain of the edge biting into her palms helped her focus.

She knew this wasn't going to go well. She could feel it, down to her bones. But Jack did have a point. "You know," she said, attempting to lighten the mood as she stood, swallowing the trickle of blood from her cheek. "I'm not a damn parrot." She tried to smile, but nodded. Just tell him... Okay.
