Well, that's something. Not that she thought, given how uncontrolled that situation was the other night, that telling anybody was actually on the docket.
Steve wouldn't even have told her, she's sure. For this exact reason.
"I'm not going to be the only one who finds out," she warns. "You might think you're covering your tracks, but I'd have picked up on it even if Danny hadn't bolted right back out the door the other night. If it keeps going, someone's going to catch a clue eventually. And then what? How's he going to win his court case if he gets fired for fraternizing with a superior? What will happen to your task force if the Governor catches wind that you're sleeping with one of your team members? Tell me you've at least thought some of this through."
She's not hugely optimistic, even tossing examples at him that she knows, with absolute confidence, he's already considered. Steve is a strategic thinker: he may seem like a force of chaos, but every move he makes is considered, plotted out, discarded for something that will more efficiently garner him the result he wants, or implemented with no further delay.
Of course he's thought of these things. He knows the same rules she knows. Has lived them for years.
But she nails them onto a fucking billboard anyway, because if this is still going on, it's obvious that he hasn't wanted to look at them directly.
Or that he has, and he's decided to buck them, anyway. Either way, she's testing the waters, wants to see where he stands so she can figure out where she's throwing her support, where it's needed, even if it isn't wanted.
