This Jhorie was the one I appreciated the most. The one who advocated for those she deemed worthy, ready to go to war with anyone who meant them harm. Even me, the man responsible for ensuring she maintained her current career. Not that she worked for me—I’d meant what I said about us being colleagues—but one phone call to Samiya would ultimately change the course of her duties with BWB. I would never pull rank but I could. I was sure she was aware of that small detail and still didn’t back down.
