"The kind of man that just came back from the dead," Madalyn answered bluntly, biting back a negative comment. She didn't mean to be so harsh to Frank but God, she was just so damn frustrated over the whole situation. Plus it wasn't like she'd had time to digest that Frank was alive, really. He was alive and sitting in her apartment like it was a normal part of life. She sighed, reaching back to undo the hair tie that kept her hair up in a tight bun. Dragging her fingers through her hair, Madalyn found herself nodding despite knowing she probably shouldn't agree to this. If she did, would she end up regretting it? "I'm not stupid, I am in the CIA. They don't exactly employ people who can't read others, Frank."
Madalyn sat back, grinding her teeth together before she let out a rough sigh. "Fine. Just give me a second," she muttered, moving to her feet. She dropped her empty bowl into the sink before grabbing the bag she had abandoned by the apartment door. Madalyn dropped back down in her chair, puling out a laptop. "S'work computer," she explained as she began typing.
"I do the hacking, the spy work that uncovers stuff that other people want to keep hidden. The people that don't to be found, I find them. I put the rest of the feds on their trail," Madalyn explained lowly, her fingers flying on the keyboard. She sat up a bit straighter as she worked, pulling up a file that Madani had recently opened on her own computer. "You know, you're lucky I rank above her," she stated out of the blue, looking over to Frank. "Madani seems determined..." she trailed off, tugging her bottom lip between her teeth.
"I don't know, Frank," Madalyn said, a knot forming in the pit of her stomach. "If I take it over with her, she still gets to work on it. If I take it over completely, she'll be suspicious and if she's as determined as she appears to be, she'll do research on her own." Madalyn would never admit what she was hinting at because she didn't want to betray a coworker or cause any undue harm to someone who was simply trying to do her job. "I can erase files and change information, make it seem like a malfunction but I can't promise that'll keep her off of your back forever."
