"That was excellent work back there in Ohio," Grey said, with genuine appreciation, as Quinn stood before his desk.
"Thank you, sir. I made arrangements with the mayor, and it's safe to say our tracks are completely covered," Quinn replied, sounding rather confident.
Grey nodded slowly, leaning back in his chair. "I understand why you had to stay behind, good call on that. Once again, outstanding job, and welcome back to base."
Quinn acknowledged the praise with a brief nod, then her expression shifted slightly. "I heard Dorian Graves is back."
Grey sighed deeply, shaking his head as the weight of it settled on his shoulders. "Yeah…"
"Alright," Quinn said simply, not pushing for details or offering unsolicited advice.
As she turned to leave, Grey found himself genuinely surprised. "You won't say anything more about the situation?" he asked, expecting some kind of input from someone who'd been part of the combined efforts against Graves' faction three years ago.
