And when the tcomes to trade yourself for Tiffany, I'm going with you." Marissa tilted her head, staring at him. "You're too well-known. If you go with me, Q will recognize you immediately and get suspicious. If that happens, he won't hand over Tiffany so easily." But Connor was firm. "Don't forget, I was just as skilled at disguises as you are when I was Lone Wolf. Just make sure your plan is solid; I won't mess it up." After failing to convince Connor, Marissa fell silent.
