Bastien's Obsession
—"I don’t obey anyone. Don’t give me orders, Bastien, or I’ll do the opposite. You know that."
Bastien let out a defeated sigh.
—"Then what do you want to do?"
—"I’ll go with you. Because I want to. But I need to know something."
—"Ask me."
—"What do you actually do for a living?"
Bastien tensed and looked away toward the cookies, grabbing one.
—"That..."
—"Tell me..."
Bastien exhaled deeply.
—"I traffic organs."
Kate’s eyes widened.
—"What?!"
—"I don’t harm innocent people. I target criminals, murderers, rapists. I’ve never hurt someone innocent. For example, tomorrow we’re retrieving organs from a psychopath who murdered over twenty-two teenagers."
