Unusual financial activity: none, unless you count the fact that someone in the family is way too into Civil War biographies. (Can this be a possible indication of Confederate insurgents still living and working in Virginia? Must research further.)

There are six reasons anyone does anything: Love. Faith. Greed. Boredom. Fear... he said, ticking them off on his fingers but he lingered on the last, drawing a deep breath before he said, Revenge.

I wouldn't mind meeting a dashing thief, the woman's friend whispered. Hale winked at Kat. Kat raised her eyebrows and whispered, I'd like to meet one of those, too.

I'm a spy, Cam. I was born to do this- to be this. It's in my blood. And I will do it until the day I die. It's who I am... The thing is I don't think you realise is... it's who you are too.
