[He narrows his eyes at her when she doesn't even react. Fuck, she's good. Obviously, since she's fooled him for as long as she has and seeing it in action right now feels like taking the knife and twisting it hard. Raleigh didn't think that she was that cruel but maybe she is. Clearly he doesn't really know her at all.
He wants to know how much of it was a lie. He wants to yell at her for fucking him to get to Chau, like he's just a pawn in her game. He wants her to tell him that she meant all of it with him and that he's just being paranoid.
But no, he's not because he saw her. Followed her back to Stacker Pentecost's office and he knows that man anywhere. Woke up too many mornings back in the service to Pentecost yelling in the barracks, berating him and Yancy for being lazy, stupid, bad soldiers, all that shit that commanding officers yell out during drills to keep you mad enough to keep on running. Not that Raleigh ever needed the motivation, he had so much energy he could've done his and Yancy's laps combined before Yancy was ever fully awake.
He never bothered to check in with what the old Marshal was doing after he walked from the Marines but he knew when he saw him with Mako that it was no social visit. Because that man did not have social calls, he worked all the time and a couple of calls confirmed that Stacker Pentecost had retired from the service and was working somewhere else in government now.
That's code for Fed. Or spy but in this case, it means Fed. He obviously doesn't have proof but he's got a gut feeling about this and Raleigh trusts his instincts. Might be the only thing left that he does trust.]
Oh? So that wasn't you I saw with Stacker Pentecost?
[Lie straight to his face, Mako, he dares you. He fucking dares you.]
