WAY TO DEEP?
A/N:Hello there it has been a long time…way to long?...well anyway I'm kinda of back now. This story is totally up to my pen friend, my Motehka, to RU12 who gave me this idea once some time ago…..just enjoy the reading.
Disclaimer: The personages aren't mine…the plot isn't even totally mine….
It was just an ordinary day for the FBI's task force or so it seemed, Raymond ´Red´ Reddington was explaining who the next blacklister would be giving enough information to make them curious but just that. None of them was aware of how much their life was about to change…
When their little meeting was about to end three men entered the room like they owned to place. The men on the sides were SEAL's and the man from the middle was in his late 50's early 60's and had an autorative air around him. The whole room froze and Red who had his back to the doors turned around to face the men. Recognition flickered in his eyes when he saw them.
"Director White." Said Red looking at the man in the middle analyzing him.
"Special Agent Reddington, it's a pleasure to see you." The man said smiling. Now the whole room looked like they had been slapped across the face, no one dared to move.
"Well sir, I don't know if I can say the same..."
"Don't be so distrusting Ray, I'm telling you it is." He answered giving one of the SEAL's a left one handed some documents to Red. Who took them rudely before reading them, while he did he looked up to the director and down again. He read it servile times before leaning on the table and asking in disbelieve.
"It's over?"
"Yes Raymond after more than 20 years of undercover work we have got them. You did an excellent job these years…and from what I can see here you even found an agency that is interested in your list."
At the words of director White the whole room saw how Red's mask fell they saw relieve and happiness on his face he looked like the weight of the world had been lifted from his shoulders only to see it replaced by the double of it in mere seconds. They saw how his shoulders slumped down and heard him ask in defeat.
"What am I to do now?"
"what am I to do now?"just as the task force thought they would see pig flying they heard him ask this question, this wasn't the confident criminal they knew but a broken man…
"What are you to do now? I don't know. Go home find your daughter…" the director was interrupted by Red who had jumped up and way boiling with anger and rage.
"GO HOME, GO HOME?... That's funny as far as I know I have no home not anymore. And sure why don't I go and find my daughter WHO I HAD TO ABANDON after part of the operation went to hell because you!" Pointing at the director with his finger. "You could not do your job.!" While he had been talking he had became more and more angry causing Dembe to grab him from behind and place an arm around his chest and waist holding him and his arms in place afraid of what he might do. Aram was the first in the room abele to react and walked over to them placing his left hand on Red's right shoulder causing the man to look at him briefly to see him shaking his head, Aram hoped his presence was somehow calming the distressed man.
"Special Agent Reddinton keep your behavior one bay or I will find the need to report you. Now your anger is totally understandable but don't focus it one my person I have done nothing wrong…"
"Nothing wrong?... my ass you should have protected them..."
This time it was Ressler who moved, sensing than this was going to far. He and Red might not be the best friends but no one should go through this and have his superiors cleaning their feet onto them like they were nothing more than dirt…lesser after losing everything and working 20 plus putting their lives in danger. He placed a hand on Reds other shoulder and squeezed it before moving between him and the director looking said man in the eye.
"sorry for being rude and all that, but I think it's time for you to leave. It's not like you people are not welcome here or anything but you should do it before we can't held him any longer." Nodding in Reds direction. "I think him scary when he is calm and I would not want to be the end of his anger you know? No one can save you once he puts his head on it even your SEALs will look like guppies once he starts…"This made White shiver of course he knew of what Red was capable before his criminal live he didn't want to know what he was capable now. He took Resslers hind and left the room followed by his men.
After White and his men left the room jumped to live. DA Cooper shoed most of the people out telling them that what had just happened would not leave the room or else he would have their jobs and heads on a silver plate. Liz pushed a chair in Reds direction while she was still processing what had just happened. Between Ressler, Aram and Dembe they got Red to sit down on the chair after some work. His eyes were burning with rage and anger, his hands were fists, his mouth was set in a thigh line and his whole body was tensed. Meera handed some tea to Dembe who after nodding his thanks offered it to Red without any response.
"Raymond?"Dembes voice was soft and just above a whisper. This caused Red to look him in the eye and tilt his head in response. " Are you alright?" The only answer he got was a small nod.
"Reddington, I know that this might sound clever and lame all the same, but if you need anything I'm here you know where to find me." This coming from Ressler made them all look at him like he had grown another head(except Red who still seemed lost in his own world), even DA Cooper and Dembe where frowning at him. "What?!" He said throwing his hands in the air.
"He is right, if you need me…just do what you always do." Said Liz who had first recovered from the 100th shock of the day, squeezing his hand.
"I am at your service." Came from Aram.
"Anything you need." Said Cooper from behind them. "Malik?"
"uhh ohh yes…24/7 any time any place."
After they all said they're words Red looked up at them and all he saw was genuine concern in their eyes, no pitty just genuine concern. His whole body relaxed causing him to close his eyes, he licked his lips stood up and answered.
"Thank you…"It was all he could say being lost for words.
After this he grabbed his fedora and put it on, and they all saw how when he put his fedora on his mask fell in place to as his mocking smile. He nodded his good-bye and walked out of the room stopping Dembe who was about to follow him.
A/N: Well what do u think? Why did he stop Dembe? Where will he go? What will he do?...All the answers it the next chapter.
