An unidentified, first-person speaker says that he’s always relied on intuition. It has never failed him before, so he wonders how he ended up where he is now.
Dom is happy for a distraction when Sean pulls up at the garage where he’s working. He thinks he shouldn’t still be surprised by the actions of “disgusting, power-drunk men in a position of so much authority” once they get bored and try to “see what they can get away with” (5). He wishes he could be numb to it. There is rare friction between Sean and Dom: Sean wants Dom to open up about what’s going on with him, but Dom knows that what he’s hiding from Sean would tear him apart. Sean says that Dom is not managing his emotions as well as he thinks he is, and Dom thinks that Sean doesn’t have the control he needs to keep his own emotions in check. Dom’s also angry at his brother, Tobias, for “dismiss[ing]” Dom and failing “all of us” (7). So, Dom quietly gathers evidence and waits for Tobias’s support to go ahead. The last leg of their plan starts today, with Sean’s return to Horner Tech.
