Notes

What Now

* carry on as before, ignore it – not an option.
* Know it’s there, can’t ignore.
* But how does this change things?
* My life – Jackson. – proven right. Deal with his shit. Question of return. Not an option. No going back.
* Her life. Plans. Still going forward – things change. Won’t work.

Changes

* Old plan – her in front, me behind. Trophy, watch dog, nobody. Shadow. Unseen, unnoticed, infill.
* Changes – reporters? News? Publicity. Good or bad?

Bad

* Puts me in spotlight
* Fucking hate interviews
* Makes things more traceable to me – O’Malleys meant to be her. Me as trophy. This – me as cop doing a job. Less effective as result. No fear. Problem.
* People conclude I rescued her? Possibly? Unsure – maybe.
* Hero cop – not good for current image. Not useful

Good

* Less likely to be fucked with.
* Standing
* Name known (good or bad? Both?)
* Ride the wave

Plan

* As current = unworkable.
* Need change
* change = ???
* Talk to her.

Need new plan / change old plan. But how

Consider angles

Getting There

* Commissioner.
* Crooked fuck - irrelevant
* Should be made to pay for his crimes.
* Possibility of that? Hand in evidence.
* District Attorney? Trustworthy? Unsure.
* Ask Jackson? – Naive. Too trusting? Would know? Not convinced.
* District Attorney – may not be an option.
* Echo? Better.

Possible Plan – Deliver to Echo, forget clearing name, take down Commissioner, make so DA can’t ignore, light the fire, stick to original plan.

Definite possibility.

Q: Why should I let him get away with it just to save my own skin? What would it achieve?

A: I want to be able to sleep at night again.

Result: Echo’s looking like a good option.

Q: Do I bring her into it?

A: I tell her and she’ll bring herself into it. Can’t leave shit alone. Would probably feel justified. Hard work for nothing?

Q: There are too many questions.

Statement: Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Statement: Three years of wrongs don’t make it right to keep doing them. Know this.

Start as you mean to go on.

How do I mean to go on?

What do I want to be?
