He knows my name...

It's been so hectic lately. Hasn't been much time to stop and reflect on anything. What with the bots attacking town openly, and now the gorram Alliance Loyalists attacking Hale's Moon.... My focus keeps ending up at one thought, though. That he knows my name.

It's been eleven years since I was her, since I ran like hell. Nobody's put two and two together in eleven years. Guess the Reverie did a better job on me than I ever coulda hoped. I hadn't even thought about back then, about him, in such a long time. Just one of those things that gets pushed aside in the midst of life.

And then, I was in his arms, and he said my name, and the world dropped out from under me. I gotta wonder how he found out. Did he want to find out more about me, or just run across an old wanted bulletin on the cortex and recognize the eleven-years younger me? God, he knew so much. What I was, who my family was... and my name.

Dunno if I'll get over this. At least it's somethin' to distract me from the bullet holes.
