Figurative Language
1."Pollock's apartment was a two-bedroom only technically-the second bedroom might have been more useful as a closet. Pollock called is her shit room, because that's where she put all the shit she didn't use much."(90)- imagery because you imagine what this apartment looks like, especially the second bedroom she has.
2."Pollock had always been too tall, too skinny, with hands and feet too big for her bones.(90)- imagery, you can imagine what she used to look like when she was younger when she knew Rinker.
3."Over the years she'd put on sixty pounds, and limped with the weight and weariness, like a woman fifteen years older.- imagery, because yo can just picture what she looks like now, after hearing both how she looked before and how she looks now.

Quote
" Don't lie to me. I'm coming to kill you, and i wanted to give you time to think about it, instead of just popping up and shooting you in the head. I want you to think about what your losing: all the rest of your life."(71)- This is an important quote because it lets the reader know that rinker is planning on going back to St.Louis and also its pretty cool how shes telling him that shes going to kill him and then eventually she does, it doesn't matter if he knows or doesn't know because she can still kill him even with his protection.


Theme
The theme from before keeps on building, telling you to be loyal to the ones you say you will be loyal to and not back-stab them. Also another big theme is that it does not seem to matter how high up Lucas is(weather hes a police or FBI) he still can help just as much as anyone since hes so smart. So maybe it doesn't matter how high up you are because you can still make a difference in the position your in, if your good enough to. Or, maybe its not how high up you are that shows how good at something you are. I cant really put this one into a theme at the moment.
