America and Charlie Fox: It s not a good mix. Her first trip to the States began with a bratty kid, and went downhill very quickly. This time around the kid is adorable, but Mom is bratty enough for two. The assignment s no fun (even the weather s lousy), but Charlie can t walk away. Is she frightened for the kid? Yup; there are too damn many guns in the picture. Does she have an overdeveloped sense of duty? You might say. But her real reason for sticking around may run a lot deeper: There s something about the client s situation that mirrors Charlie s own. She s a tough chick with parent-problems and a conflicted relationship with a former lover. Sound familiar?"
