Fallen Fellowship

CW: This story contains murder Pointing out: The first line, also the line "Eisman entered finance about the same time I left," are both the first lines of the two books "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," by John Le Carre, and "The Big Short," by Micheal Lewis.

Under The Blanket of Deep Blue

The wind howled vigorously, and waves clashed against jagged rocks just above the coastline, sparring like the angry men in bars. Myler stood next to me, peering off into the void of the seemingly endless ocean, while my gaze was still stuck on his features. “Did you expect this?” He broke the frozen silence that had hung between us for a while, despite the belligerent waves that slapped the shore. “Not at all.” I answered quickly, looking away to the terrain below us.
