Matt wondered if the old custom of crossing your fingers for luck was based on fact. He crossed them anyway.

Even before Connor had collapsed when he'd heard the news, he wouldn't have been Matt's first choice for this mission. The younger man had blurted out the truth about the operation before and someone had died; who knew what he'd do in his grief.

Matt sighed, knowing Connor was their only chance for success and he deserved to know the truth – whether James was really dead and if it was Burton's fault.

This was one mission he'd keep secret.

Matt keeping secrets again? He should be careful with those. Poor Connor though, I want to scoop him up and wrap him in cotton wool.

Matt needed to be careful with this secret.

And poor Connor too *hugs him*

Matt should be careful with this, Connor doesn't need more angst in his life.

Yes, I think this time Connor will keep it secret but Matt's probably right to be worried.

Matt and his secrets always make me twitch a bit!

Someday all his secrets will blow right into his face.

Hope Matt doesn't keep it secret from Connor for too long.

Oh, so many secrets! But I think Connor will keep this one. *hugs him on principle*

Erk! I hate secrets.

eeep! I'm even more worried about Connor now.

Awwwwwww, poor Connor! I can kind of see why Matt's keeping his secret though...

Interesting to see Matt's perspective here.

ooh, great installment!

[identity profile] kristen-mara.livejournal.com 2012-07-25 11:22 am (UTC)(link)

Ooooo Matt!!! Make the right choice, both of you!

[identity profile] tay-21.livejournal.com 2012-07-26 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh-oh. I'm not sure keeping secrets is really the best choice in this circumstance. Matt better be careful.

Poor Connor. *Meep* *Huggles him close*

Well I hope Matt does find out the truth and quickly!

Keeping secrets doesn't always work out well but I can understand Matt being worried.
