Chapter 3

The blacklist season 4 B

I know the last two chapters weren't the best but I didn't want to just skip over Tom leaving but now that over and done with more interesting things can start to happen plus I can get started writing about the keenler ideas I have. The last two chapters I'm thinking were part of one episode this chapter is the start of the next hope you enjoy as always please review.

Slowly reddingtion walked up to liz's room just as he was about to open the door she opened it herself and walked out 'what is it' she said gruffly walking past him.

'I have a case' he said quickly turning around following her.

'Whatever' she said walking out the warehouse and walking straight to the waiting car.

'Look Lizzy' he said once they were both inside and Dembi had started driving 'I know it's hard'.

'Please don't' she said quickly 'you and I both know how happy you are I and Tom are over now so with respect I could do without your fake sympathies.

'Fine' Reddingtion said frowning 'next person on the blacklist is named Tomas murphy.

'Ok' Liz said impassively what's he do'.

'Say you're a drug lord Lizzy' Reddingtion said smiling 'all the cash from your sails comes in but the counts light how do you figure out who you need to shoot'.

'Same way embezzlement is dealt with in the legal world forensic accounting' Liz said automatically.

'Well Tomas murphy is the best forensic account out there' Reddingtion said smile 'this guy is a savant he can come in where ever and uncook any ones books you get this guy Lizzy you would have access to the accounts of dozens of criminal originations'.

…..

'How are you doing Liz' Aram said as she walked in to the post office.

'Fine' she said quickly 'and Aram please I don't want to talk about it'.

'What have we got' Cooper said walking up before Aram could respond turning around Liz saw him and Samar standing there but no Ressler 'where's Ressler' she asked concerned.

'Ressler requested a personal day' Cooper said smiling 'he said he'll be back tomorrow'.

'Ressler requested a personal day' Samar said shocked.

'Yea' Liz said looking at Cooper shocked as well.

'What exactly does agent Ressler do on a personal day' Aram said joying in sounding curious.

Samar smiled hearing this 'I think I have an idea' she said looking at Liz.

'It doesn't matter' Liz said shaking her head 'we can ask him tomorrow the blacklister were dealing with today is called Tomas murphy'.

…..

Loud music was blaring when Ressler walked in to the darkly light bar it was full of a bunch of lever wearing bikers so he was glad he had decided not come do this dressed in one of his work suits it didn't take him long to spot Tom he was sighting at the bar with a half empty bottle in front of him. Walking up he stood behind him for a second listening to Tom talking to one of the bikers about his fake back story as a biker 'Tom' he said after a few minutes quietly but loud a nuff that Tom could hear him.

'Ressler' Tom said shocked turning around.

'You have no idea how long I've wanted to do this' he said smiling clenching his fist and punching Tom as hard as he could he hadn't been expecting it so that punch landed but by the time Ressler went in for another Tom countered and they ended up broiling on the floor. Until the bars owner and several of his employs pulled both off them apart and forced them outside.

'What was that for' Tom began picking himself up just in time to see Ressler lunging at him 'what the fuck is up with you' he snarled as they broiled in the gravel drive way outside after a few minutes of them throwing punches a rather larg man in a lever jacket jumped in pulling them apart and putting himself in between them.

'Ok what's the problem with you two' he shouted looking from Ressler to Tom.

'After everything you left her' Ressler shouted still trying to get hold of Tom 'I actually thought maybe I was wrong you basted you to have a baby for pick sack'.

'Wow dud' the man said looking at Tom 'he telling the truth'.

'Yes' Tom sighed 'but it's not the simple' but before he could finish the man stepped assayed 'have at it friend' he said smiling at Ressler.

…..

'Lizzy' Reddingtion said smiling once she had finished telling him about their lead on Tomas murphy 'I brought you and Agnes an apartment'.

'Pleas Red' she said sighing 'don't do that'.

'What' Reddingtion said defensively?

'Trying to make things better when you love that Tom is gone' Liz almost spat 'you know I don't want your approval and it's not like it matters you are not my father' Reddingtions face went impassive now as it always did when they argued. With effort Liz rained in her temper 'look I know you are just trying to help but please don't you meddling in my life is a big part of why Tom is gone so please don't' she said almost begging.

'Ok Lizzy' Reddingtion said impassively but with a slight crack to his voice 'but for the recorded Lizzy I never wanted things to happen this way'.

'I know' Liz sighed 'I don't think any of us did'.

…..

'Where are you even going to go now Tom' Ressler said sighing as they both shat on street curb nursing there cuts and bruises having stopped fighting.

'I don't know' he said spiting blood 'Liz spend so much time looking for answers to her questions maybe I'll go try to find answers to some of my own'.

'Well good for you' Ressler said in a mocking voice pinching is bleeding nose.

'Why are you even here Donald' Tom said flatly.

'Come on Tom' Ressler sneered 'you left her after everything you know I was actually begging to think I was wrong about you then you went and did this I mean if I can put up with Reddingtion why can't you'.

'Well Ressler I would point out Reddingtion actually likes you' Tom said sarcastically 'so things are a little different for me'.

'Yea' Ressler said shaking his head 'how did he get to like me I tried to kill Reddingtion once'.

'Well haven't we all tried that at least once' Tom said giving a snigger.

Ressler smiled giving a shrug 'but Tom' he said in an even voice now calming down 'aren't you worried living her and you daughter for have however long how knows what trouble they could get up to her and Reddingtion'.

'I'm not worried' Tom said giving a small smile 'because Liz and Agnes have someone in their lives I actually do trust to keep them safe'.

'Who' Ressler said surprised.

'You' Tom said giving a small laugh standing up and walking away before Ressler could stop him.

…..

As Ressler walked out of the lift in to the post office nursing his bleeding nose Cooper had called him in Samar past him as she was leaving 'so how's Tom' she said smiling walking past him.

'O shut up' he said walking up to Coopers office.

'What happened' cooper said shocked seeing Resslers face the moment he walked in to his office.

Ressler paused for a second thinking but in the end he just decided to be honest 'being since Tom and Liz broke up I took my chance to beat him up I've been wanting to do it for a why'll only reason I didn't was because of Liz'.

'Ok' Cooper said after a few minutes of shocked silence 'well the reason I called you in Donald kind of connects to that I was wondering if you were ok'.

'I'm fine' Ressler said automatically.

'Really' Cooper deadpanned 'you just admitted to picking a fight with a friends x'.

Ressler scowled at this 'you know' he said after a few minutes getting up 'it doesn't really matter what you think' Cooper called after him but he walked out of the office just wanting to get home and put this day behind him.

…..

Liz shat at one off the office chairs knowing she head home and to Agnes but she could she didn't know why at first but then she realised because that places wasn't home it was one room in the middle of a warehouse all of a sudden without any warning she started to cry she tried to stop but she couldn't she just ended up burying her face in her hands.

'Liz what is it' a concerned voice said after a few minutes looking up she saw Ressler standing in front of her for some reason looking slightly bloody.

'I don't know' she sobbed.

'Is it Tom' Ressler said frowning.

'No' Liz said without thinking.

'Then what Liz' he asked.

'I don't have anywhere to go home to' she said without thinking again looking up at Ressler wiping her tears away manging to stop her self-crying 'I don't Ressler' she said continuing realising now 'where I've been staying with Agnes isn't a home it's a safe I can't go back there Donald I just can't and I'm not going to take anything Reddingtion would give me'.

'Why don't you stay with me' Ressler said quickly before he knew what he was saying.

'You sure about that' Liz said looking shocked.

'Yea' Ressler said forcing a smile 'just until you can find a place for you and Agnes'.

'Thank you Donald' Liz said smiling getting up and hugging him 'you have no idea how much this means to me'.

'It's alright Liz' he said smiling holding her tight.

…..

'So' Ressler said as the three of them got in to his flat walking straight to his kitchen arear to get his first aid kit 'this places doesn't exactly have stuff for children but we can do a bit off shopping tomorrow'.

'You don't need to do that' Liz said quickly taken aback.

'It's alright Liz' Ressler said opening his first aid kit and dealing with his nose 'we don't know how long you two will be staying here' he said gesturing at Agnes 'so we should really get her some stuff'.

'Ok' Liz said smiling walking over to the lounge area and placing Agnes on the sofa 'so what exactly where you doing today' she asked looking back over at Ressler who was still dealing with his bloodied nose.

'Me and an old friend were just sorting something out' Ressler said awkwardly.

'Was the argument about a girl' she said smiling amused walking over.

'In a way' he said wiping one of his cuts.

'Come here' Liz said picking up the wipes to see to Resslers faces 'so tell me about her' she said smiling.

'Well' Ressler said smiling still a little awkward as she saw to his face 'she the greatest'.
