Patrick watched as Teresa the women he had came to love more then life itself. Walk out of the office and his life. Earlier the other agents had gave her a going away party one that Jane couldn't bring himself to attend.
It broke his heart just being in the same room with her knowing she was moving away and getting married, So why didn't he stop her? Good question one he didn't really have the answer for, but who the hell was he kidding he know the answer. The answer the question was a really hard one give up finding the man who killed his family or running to the women he loved an begging her not to marry David.
There were times that he had thought of giving up. Right his family's death he had been admitted to a hospital psychiatric ward that was a very dark time, but finally convinced the doctor that he was healed and ready to move on, revenge a rather nasty word had become his life and his only friend. All he could thank of a day and night was revenge, but now as he looked out the office window at the sun as it wait down. What was more important to him revenge or love.
Patrick set down on the couch. He smiled to himself. Love if someone would have told him five years ago he would fall in love again and with Teresa he would have they were out of their minds. Five years ago he wasn't ready to move on. Patrick lay back on the couch. He smiled to himself as he remembered the first day he met Teresa
It had been a beautiful fall day when he first met his new boss. She wasn't at all what he excepted her to be. She wore no makeup. It looked as if she had just got out of bed. She was very cool to him. At first she didn't really want or need him there. And his charm didn't work on her. She seen right throw it, but as time went by she warmed up to him and even started to smile watch he noticed that she looked beautiful when she did. They grow to become really good friend.
It wasn't until the third year when Patrick started seeing Teresa in a new light. He had started to have feelings for her and not friendship once. Then came the night he kissed at the time it had seem to be the right thing do, but later he had felt guilt. But why he wasn't cheating his wife she was going, but yet he still felt like he had been cheating her. He know it had broken Teresa heart when he pulled away. And he really didn't make matters even better when he told her to move on. Watch he really didn't what her to do.
Then came David there was something about that man that he didn't then and now like , but Patrick just wasn't sure what it was about David that rubbed him the wrong way. He had even tried to tell Teresa about the feeling he was having about the guy. But they just ended up in fight, and she told him to stay out of her life. He agreed the hardest thing he every did in his life but he agreed. Then came the day he found out the scum bag had asked her to marry him. He could have kicked himself. He was more mad at himself than at anyone else. He could have begged her not to marry David, but his on stupid pride got the best of him.
Today was just as hard as it was 2 years ago to let go. But the question was did he have to let go. Again he wonder the question watch was more important love or revenge. There laying on CBI couch he finally saw the light love was more important was he really going to be stupid to let her walk out of his life. Hell not if he had anything to say about, maybe he could go to her and tell her how much he loved her, he hoped it wasn't to late. Patrick got up and ran out of the office.
Across town at her apartment Teresa was woken by a noise she must have fallen a sleep middle of packing. She heard the noise again, and reach for her gun and found nothing her gun wasn't in the place she had put it. Just then the lights went out. She started looking for her phone but couldn't find it either. In the dark she felt her way to the door have way there she bumped into something. Not the wall all thought it felt like a wall. When she recognized it was a person. Teresa stared to scream but a hand went over her mouth.
Jane pulled up in front of Teresa apartment saw that the lights were out and thanking that she had went to bed, and it was to late Left, if he would have look closer he would have seen the shadowy figure in the window of the dark apartment moving around.
