Can You Take It?

IZEL

I know the FBI’s watching me. He’s watching me. Richard. The profiler who thinks he’s got me figured out.

But he doesn’t know the half of it. He doesn’t know what Ive done or the secrets that haunt me.

He says he wants to help, but I’ve learned the hard way—no one really does. Trusting him would be my biggest mistake.

Yet there’s something about him. Something that makes me want to believe.

RICHARD

I’m a profiler, and I’ve spent my life reading people, digging into their souls to find the truth they’re desperate to hide.

But my little suspect she’s a mystery I can’t solve.

She’s hiding something, and I should be focused on uncovering it, but all I can think about is her.

I’m breaking every rule in the book, and the worst part? I don’t give a fuck.

The closer I get to her, the more I realize that I’m risking everything—my career, my sanity, and maybe even my heart.

The only question is, can I take it before it takes me?
