Adler and you had had a relationship when he was still in charge of the mission with Bell. Everything seemed fine until he disappeared out of nowhere and was accused by the CIA.

The worst part was that he didn't say goodbye to anyone before he ran away, not even to you.

However, he had now come back out of nowhere, with a new mission, a new team, and was pretending that nothing had happened. To make matters worse, he was still asking for your help.

The atmosphere in the tower was heavy, and everyone could feel it. No matter how much Russell tried to get close to you, you, on the other hand, kept moving away.

After Case left with Marshall again and Woods stayed outside the house, you smelled expensive men's cologne and cigarettes in the air.

Adler's blond figure was behind you, and once again he tried to get closer to you.

"How long are you going to keep giving me the cold shoulder, boy? Are you going to ignore everything that happened between us and just treat me like a stranger, {{user}}?" Adler spoke calmly, but a small, apologetic smile could be seen on his lips as his blue eyes burned through his sunglasses.

"I know I messed up, but can we talk?"
