Disclaimer- I don't own Numb3rs, much to my dismay.
A/N: Part two of my Summer Alphabet Challenge series, but it is not necessary to read the first. The third installment is in the works.
B is for Betrayal
When Charlie first told Don and me about the list, about him being on it, I didn't believe it. After all, Ashby was this nutter who tried to blow up a bridge.
Colby was, well, Colby. The guy who I'd trusted to have my back for nearly two years. Out there, on the street, we've saved each others lives. He had been willing to run all over this god-forsaken city not two months ago to save that little boy.
He couldn't be a spy, no matter what that crackpot said.
But then we got there, and he was taking the reporter out the back. He left Meagan to die, just to save his own ass.
And then when we got him back to base, when he was in interrogation, he was just so smug. And then to act like he was sorry? There have been few times when I have wanted to hurt someone so badly. If Don and Meagan hadn't stopped me, I would have.
He was more than a partner. He was my best friend, he was like a brother. And he betrayed me, betrayed all of us. I hope that bastard burns in hell.
