By letting Blaze go, Tracy is putting Lee/T-Bolt’s undercover operation on the line, not to mention her life.Even if Blaze is leaning one way here, what if she has second thoughts and lets slip to Notta what happened at the laundromat? There’s no way Tracy can be sure that won’t happen. Someone might say, “There’s no way Blaze will do that, she’s ready to give up Notta and move on with her life.” And I would say, respectfully, that you’ve never worked with an emotionally abused person before. The spell such people are under is rarely if ever broken by a couple conversations with people operating outside the abusive relationship! Feelings of personal guilt, fear, and emotional dependence could easily overwhelm Blaze and flip her back the other way, even if she’s filled with the very best intentions at this moment.Again, it’s possible and perhaps even likely that Blaze will give up Notta, because we as the readers sense it’s likely to happen for dramatic purposes. But there is absolutely no way Tracy can know this. It’s fine for him to take a chance and let Blaze go and hope for the best. It might be the best call here, given the circumstances. But that means Tracy absolutely MUST pull Lee/T-Bolt out of the field, immediately. Otherwise, he’s gambling with her life.
