The drink was too good a temptation, and why let it go to waste? She hefted and gulped. “The thing is, Gus, no emissary of white light ever paid me a personal visit. The other guys, though, I’ve met on several o-ccasions. It makes raising my metaphorical spear and going, ‘Rargh!’ for the good guys all the less likely.”
And what would she do, anyway? Collect secrets and trinkets like before? Unlock doors so that people could catch their enemies unaware? Back in the 60s, whenever a serious ne’er-do-well was burglarized, they always pointed a finger at Maddy whether she’d provided access or not. Being the easy one to blame was a real pain in the ass.
