The Analyst

Well Damn, Claire Carroll is alive? Why is Claire under police protection? Is it from Ryan. The FBI thought that Joe was dead when Claire was stabbed so they can’t be protecting her from Joe. Ryan not telling Max or Ryan but mean that for some reason the FBi doesn’t want Ryan to know about Claire. What will Joe do when he finds out that Claire isn’t the only one that can escape death. Well all Carrollites Hail Joe!
