Hey Everyone! I thought that Risky Business deserved an ending. I tried to find satisfying ones on FF, but I couldn't find what I had in mind, so I decided to write it…..
Christopher stared ahead into the void. He didn't know what he was looking at, everything was a haze. It was like he was still laying on the Floor, his head still held up by the rope, his breathing constricted, and his sight blurry. But it had been days, since the B.A.U came to rescue him. Although he still couldn't breath.
Many people talked to him, tried to convince him that everything was going to be alright. He could not believe turning out any better, up till now they only turned out worse. What was he without his father? Slaves didn't become free when their master died. Even if it was his father who made him this way, he himself was the one who gave up on running. He had stayed, because his father had been the man his mother had chosen to love. Despite the beating. Despite everything. If she had loved him, than there had to be some good in the man.
He pondered some more about the future, which he knew would be dictated by his past. There is no moving on, when you're held back, by rope around your throat. It made him wonder, whether he had any reason to live, any reason that he didn't have before. Giving up had been easy. Even after fighting for his life for so long. Now the reason to quit had gone, the decision to do so had not yet left his mind. He wondered what good life could bring, that death could not. Foster homes, oh joy! A couple of parents, that was just what he needed! As if life itself wasn't complicated enough. What hope did he have.
At that moment he heard someone at the door. Slowly he turned his head, and there in her colorful outfit, stood Penolope Garcia. She smiled at him and held out one of her own pearly earrings. "I had a wonderful conversation with you," she said. "And I hope that you would come with me to DC, so that we can have many more. Or," she smiled hesitantly. "You can at least take this earring."
He still didn't know what good life could bring, that death could not. But she did. She probably wouldn't mind telling him…. one night in D.C.
Sorry, just couldn't resist to make it a happy ending….
