No one knew about her last encounter with Bill. Or if they did, no one mentioned it to her face. Flora had heard the whispers behind her back as news broke out about the betrayal. And while she hadn't exactly flaunted her relations with the man, people that paid attention realized just how close the pair of them had gotten while he had been in their ranks. It was a blow to her ego, no doubt, but it barely held a candle to the shame and embarrassment she held at the memory of sleeping with him instead of killing him. It was a memory she was willing to bury a million times over.

But problems with the Lobos and their increasing attacks against them eventually took the forefront of her attention. It had to be if she wanted the Fitzgeralds to survive this war--the last thing she wanted was to watch her family's legacy go up in flames.

As weeks passed, it became one thing after another. An attack here. A raid there. Injuries and losses sprung up like the common cold. But at least they were always able to give back what they got. It was about the only silver lining during these tense times. Getting news that Bill had finally been spotted seemed like a blessing and a curse, though Flora couldn't help but chase after the sighting if it meant gaining back some of her dignity.

With only a few of her trusted men with her, they circled the location they'd been given. It didn't look like the kind of place the Lobos would use, even as a hideout, but she wouldn't claim to know the inner workings of how their group worked. Maybe if she had, they wouldn't be in as big of a mess as they were in. Just as Flora had sent her men to canvas the area, she spotted movement in the darkened alley. Without concern for her immediate safety, she stalked towards the figure, gun in hand. "I knew you were a rat, but I didn't realize you'd be living like one," she said as she approached Bill closer. "Seems almost fitting under the circumstances."
