The Profiler’s Mask

I was not in Vegas to make good decisions. I was here to self-destruct. Desiring what was forbidden and perverse. An event to eradicate any light and cause my ruin. Be ruled by the devil and live in hell where I belonged. Oh, and also defeat my World Series Poker Competitors.

Trained at Quantico, your secrets are mine. Everyone is so predictable. Tics and tells become decipherable cues I can read, like a ticker tape giving me information and insight. Body and eye movements are a roadmap to deception. No one can bluff in my presence. A running catalog of behavioral characteristics rotates like a carousel constantly in my head. I am difficult, intolerant, and arrogant, but companies pay huge sums of money for me to flush out their weaknesses and find lost revenue. I am the Black Diamond.

The dark knight, underboss Luca Moretti, is designed to feed my demons, allowing my darkness to consume me. It is no coincidence we are so drawn to each other. The rush of self-loathing floods my system, and I bathed in the guilt and recrimination of grief and loss. I crave Luca like the addict I am.

Ben Walker, the white knight, is the light I am missing from my life. He naturally keeps away the darkness by his mere existence. He is my equal in genius with an opposite nature. His dedication to my well-being is epic, even though he is not mine to have. Ben stirs passion in me, making me want to be a better person-the person I used to be.
