A/N: so this one is a little weird
Ok, it's really really weird and kinda messed up.
Please don't flame me.
Inspired by the song Bad blood by Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar.
Don't give me that look, I know it's Taylor Swift and yeah I know what it's really about, but c'mon that song is really good.
Summary: Marcus convinces Leo to come back to help him with one of Douglas' enemies just one more time and Leo agrees to help his step father out. Unfortunately things go wrong and Leo is taken in for questioning by the FBI, an old friend appears and reveals a secret that breaks Leo's heart.
Warnings: non-bionic AU rated T, mentions of underage sex, drug use, prostitution and strong language.
Marcus is so dead.
Leo tapped his fingers impatiently against the steel table in the centre of the room.
The room was brightly lit, blue walls with grey floor surrounded him and Leo silently wished that they'd just take him back to one of the holding cells, at least there he'd get to brood without the constant video surveillance. Another chair sat opposite to where Leo was empty like it's been for the passed two hours.
He let out another sigh as he leaned forward over the table and put both hands on top, making the metal chain of the cuffs wrapped around his wrists clink loudly in the silent room.
Marcus is so dead.
'Just one more time Leo'
'You're the only who can do this Leo'
'I promise nothing will go wrong Leo'
And Leo fell for it like the idiot he is.
The teen leaned back against the chair letting his head fall back against the cold steel back rest.
Thing is, he didn't do it one more time because of Marcus regardless of how much he loves his big brother. He did it because,
'Dad'll be so happy when he finds out you came'
So Leo went.
Because other than his mom and Marcus, Douglas Davenport is all he has left.
Leo met him when he was eight years old, under less than pleasant circumstances.
They didn't really have much starting out.
Tasha worked two jobs, one as an assistant at the local newspaper and the other as a waitress in a diner uptown, Leo's father wasn't part of the picture. But he came back, if only for a day.
The day that their lives changed forever.
His name was Michael and he was a musician, just starting out but still incredibly talented. Tasha fell in love with him, she fell pregnant and he disappeared. Until he reappeared eight years later.
Things didn't go well for Michael after he left, he got mixed up with some bad people, got hooked on drugs and gambling and started owing some very bad people. People that made him strike a deal.
They pressured him for money, told him that if he couldn't pay them back they'd take his life as payment. Michael told them that he didn't have anything to give, started rambling on about his train wreck of a life.
He told them that the only thing he had to claim as his own was a son in a little town called Mission Creak.
So they made him a different deal instead.
On the black market a woman below the age of twenty-five could get you anything from five thousand to fifteen hundred dollars depending on whether or not they were still virgins. A male child could get you around ten to fifteen thousand depending on their health. That's quite a bit of money for someone who had nothing to his name, so they made him an offer. If he gives them his girl and kid they'll take off twenty grand from his debt, give him a fix and a little time to pay off the other thirty thousand he still owes.
And Michael agreed. He tricked his ex-girlfriend into meeting him at a coffee shop, pretending to show some new sense of responsibility by offering help with Leo. Tasha didn't take Leo with her of course, she was determined to tell Michael to go to hell and she did. Unfortunately, all his associates needed was to see Tasha for it to count as Michael delivering on his side of the bargain.
They followed her home, broke into the apartment she'd just managed to be able to afford and kidnapped her and her son.
Tasha and Leo got lucky though.
They were bought by the irish mafia.
Insane right?
Tasha was meant to be new stock for Douglas Davenport. He ran a prostitution rink among other things and apparently needed some new blood in his inventory. She was a little older than the usual fresh meat but there were a few of his clients that preferred more mature company, plus Tasha is sweet and there's always a market for slightly less experienced older women. So he took her in, but she wouldn't go anywhere without Leo though, so to end the annoying screaming on the day of the exchange Douglas decided to keep Leo as well.
The kid could come in handy. After all, some of his clients had... Younger tastes.
That being said, Douglas isn't completely heartless.
He took care of his girls, made sure they were well fed and clothed, kept them safe. He got them healthy whenever someone accidentally picked up something from a client and made sure said client never didn't live to tell the tale. They weren't exactly happy, but considering where they might have ended up otherwise, they were more than just a little grateful.
Tasha got to have her own room with Leo and Douglas wouldn't force Leo to get involved in anything... Well at least not until after he turned sixteen anyway and all she had to do in return was earn her keep.
Leo wasn't allowed to go to school, but he got to hang around Douglas which was probably even better.
Besides the prostitution ring, weapons syndicate and auto theft ring, Douglas created his own synthetic drug called Tritan.
It was basically like a supercharged version of ecstasy only it was completely untraceable and the effects lasted longer than the normal stuff, only catch is that it was three times more addictive and could leave you looking like a meth addict if you ever tried to quit.
See Douglas Davenport is a very very smart man. He was a scientist and ran a company with his brother until their father passed away and there was no one left to run his side of the family business. But Donald, Douglas' brother, didn't want anything to do with that so Douglas took over. So really, there's nothing Leo could learn at school that Douglas couldn't teach him to do better.
They lived on the three upper floors of the club where Douglas ran most of his business out of with the other girls.
Club Bionic.
The girls treated Leo nice, despite the fact that some of them weren't exactly fond of Tasha because of all the special treatment she got, but they didn't take any of that out on Leo. Club Bionic masqueraded as a strip club but of course the regulars knew the truth. Leo spent most of his time hanging around the crime lord which also meant that he spent most of his time around Marcus, Douglas' son.
He was a little older than Leo, by about four years at least, but they still got along very well.
The years passed, Leo started growing on Douglas especially since he and Marcus got so close and Tasha worked hard. Did as she was told but she was never afraid of voicing her opinion either, plus she turned out to be the perfect escort for whenever Douglas had business to take care of that required a girl by his side.
She became his favourite, much to the annoyance of the other girls.
Leo was fifteen years old when his mom went from Tasha Dooley to Tasha Davenport, but Douglas didn't try to make Leo change his name. He wasn't exactly happy about the change, considering how it all came to be but his mom was safe and this way she didn't have to 'work' anymore so he made peace with it.
Unfortunately things can never go well for him for too long.
It started with the Harrington's.
A year later after the marriage, Douglas started working on a drug deal with some people that had serious money and because of this there was a lot more traffic in the club than usual. Most nights were spent talking cash and shipping strategies, while the rest were spent with Donald smooshing his new business partners. This meant letting them sample all of his merchandise; drugs, guns and the girls.
Pierce Harrington seemed to be enjoying Douglas' entertainment and was well on his way to joining forces with the man, but his son remained unimpressed.
Clayton was twenty five and didn't really care for the drugs since he'd never dream of poisoning himself with that Tritan stuff. Douglas' weapons were pretty impressive but Clayton was sure they could probably get something different elsewhere at a better price, even if it wasn't necessarily better and as for the girls, well the crime heir has never really taken much of a liking to the fairer sex.
All in all, Douglas knew he was in trouble. All he really wanted to do was get the Harringtons to trust him enough to make them let their guard down so he could take them all out, take control of their businesses and expand his empire. But he wouldn't be able to do any of that with out Clayton signing on along with his father.
Everyone knew that the heir's word meant more to his father than anyone else's, so if Clayton didn't agree to the drug deal then no drug deal would occur and with the way things were going, Clayton didn't seem to be co-operating any time soon.
But then Clayton caught sight of Leo and the game changed.
Apparently the heir had the kind of unusual taste Douglas thought he'd might need the kid for eight years ago when he agreed to let Tasha keep Leo. He had a thing for underage boys.
Leo was sixteen years old when Clayton stumbled by one of the rooms on the upper floors to find Leo watching tv with Marcus that night, but at the time, Leo looked like he was around twelve-fourteen years old.
Clayton went back downstairs to the main floor where his father was and dropped a couple of hints in Douglas' ear, it didn't take long for the scientist to understand exactly what Clayton wanted.
He's done a lot of things, worse things than delivering to some guy with a fetish for kids, but for some reason when Clayton's hints clicked Douglas felt his stomach turn in a way that it hasn't in a long time while his blood ran cold.
He played it off though, just smiled and made sure to be the perfect gracious host all night until the Harrington's eventually left. Then he waited until Tasha and Leo were in bed before discussing it with Marcus.
Of course his son wasn't pleased, but he couldn't really offer him any better alternatives. You know other than calling it quits and just taking out the entire gang all at once.
But doing that they'd miss the opportunity to get a hold of the Harrington fortune and that cash cow was too large to be ignored. Not to mention all the contracts they could get a hold of and all the manufacturers.
No, just taking out the gang wouldn't do them any good.
"So we either loose everything or give him Leo?" Marcus asked and Douglas leaned back in his seat and let out a heavy sigh.
"We don't give him Leo, it's just once maybe twice. All I need is one foot in the door, once I manage that, I'll own the Harrington family and we get rid of all of them. Just like that."
"Money bucks will still have Leo until you do. What if something goes wrong? What if he hurts him? We can't risk it." Marcus said as he watched his father, "Besides, you promised Tasha."
"I promised Tasha I'd let Leo be until he turned sixteen, his birthday was two months ago. It's older than some of the girls that have come through here before. Eight years ago I would've had Leo locked in a room and given Harrington the key before he even dropped the first hint."
"Then why didn't you?"
Douglas didn't answer just kept staring up at the ceiling until he suddenly turned his chair back to face the desk and turned his computer on. "Maybe we don't need Harrington's cash, we're pretty strong as it is, I'm sure we could take on Baldini."
Marcus sighed, "I thought you said taking on Baldini with what we have now would be suicide. What about Tasha and the girls?"
"It might not be, there could be a way to keep them safe. I just need to figure out a way to-" Douglas' eyes lit up and his fingers started tapping swiftly over the key board, "I'll contact Krane, ask him to let me borrow one of his boys."
"You can't!" Marcus said sitting up in his chair. "Krane wouldn't just let you borrow one of his prostitutes without getting something in return. He'll want one of the girls and if he gets-"
"If he does I'll just offer him a cut of the of the money."
Marcus growled in frustration, "What about Caitlin? I'm sure she-"
"Caitlin's boys are too old. Clayton wants Leo cause he thinks he's twelve, the youngest she has is seventeen, he'd never go for it." Douglas explained as his hands paused over the keyboard. "It's either we ask Victor for help or we give him Leo."
"Victor's too dangerous."
"I can handle him," The man gave a sigh as he raked a hand through his hair, "He's the only choice we have."
"No he's not."
Both men looked up and found Leo standing in the doorway and Douglas' eyes widened a fraction as he got up from his seat. "Leo what are you-"
"I'll do it... I'll do whatever you need me to do." Leo said swallowing hard as he stepped into the room and let out a strained laugh, "You're always saying how I should start earning my keep around here right, well now's my chance."
"Leo-"
"I know what I'm doing big D, now just... call it in or whatever before I come to my senses."
They did.
Clayton was set to come in a week later, Leo made them promise not to tell his mom and the teen was a bit of a anxious mess for the next few days.
Marcus tried to persuade Leo not to go through with it but Leo refused in that annoyingly stubborn way that was Leo. He insisted that he was just nervous and he wasn't willing to back down if it meant keeping his family safe. Tasha made that sacrifice for him eight years ago and he wanted to return the favour.
It was heartwarming in a deeply tragic kind of way, so Marcus figured that he could at least try and help his best friend/brother through the ordeal.
They never really talked about sex before the whole Clayton thing came up, but Marcus was sure that Leo wouldn't want his first time to be with some sleazy rich paedophile he's never even met so he offered to be Leo's first instead, since he didn't trust anyone else around his brother anyway.
And the teen agreed, more relieved than he'd ever admit to being.
It was...
Good, it hurt a little in the beginning but Marcus promised to take care of him and he did. The pain didn't last for too long and eventually he started enjoying it, it's just that it felt a little weird. Marcus has been like a big brother for as far as he could remember, so it was definitely weird and a little uncomfortable but Leo was still glad to have Marcus take his virginity and not some creep he's never even spoken to.
The night of the exchange I guess you could say came and Leo was surprised that it wasn't as sleazy and horrifying as he thought it would be.
Clayton was nice for the most part and handsome.
"All you have to do is behave." Leo tried not to flinch away at the hand that slowly eased him back on the bed before another came up to stroke his cheek, "Just behave."
He wasn't rough and it didn't seem like he was purposefully trying to hurt Leo, but he still had an obvious paedo thing going on and the whole situation as to how they got there still made it disgusting enough for Leo to have to shut his eyes just to try and pretend like it wasn't happening.
When Leo got back home he spent the rest of the night scrubbing down from head to toe in the shower until Marcus found him and led him out of the bathroom. He stayed with Leo all night and most of the next day trying to talk the boy through what happened but Leo wasn't willing to say a word.
Clayton came to see him again a week later and then two days after than and then again another week later. By then Douglas had worked his magic and managed to get all of the Harrington's estate transferred into the Davenport name, without leaving so much as a single trace of evidence behind. It was a month long operation and after that month passed the Davenports cut the Harringtons loose.
Permanently.
Marcus took the most pleasure out of making Clayton writhe in pain, came home with a bounce in his step just dying to tell his little brother all about it but Leo didn't want to know about any of it. He was just glad that it was over.
Months passed. Marcus and Douglas started showing Leo the ropes on some of the basic operations, they figured he deserved to be included in the day to day running of things, especially after his sacrifice. Tasha wasn't too pleased about this but Douglas promised to keep Leo safe so she let him.
Leo learned about the drug deals, how they're manufactured and transported. Marcus taught him a couple of tricks, just the basics like jacking a car and managing a gun. Handling drug deals, working card frauds and phone scams.
Later Douglas let Leo in on the arms trades and that's when things started heading south all over again.
The Ambrossi's were old clients and italian mafia.
Douglas has been working with them for years and he's never had a problem with them. Sure they were brutes and incredibly violent, but they were also loyal. Never broke promises, always delivered on deals and even offered Douglas some back up in his take-over on Baldini's empire. Of course that's only after Douglas payed them with the money he got from the Harrington's.
Hey, I said they were loyal not stupid.
It started five months after the Harrington family's fall
Trent Ambrossi was young, but as ruthless as they come. He took over the family business after his father got caught in a deal that went bad and got thrown in a federal prison when Trent was nineteen years old.
It was an incredibly young age to start running a mob but Trent proved himself worthy multiple times and even made sure that anyone that tried to cross him paid for it dearly.
But still, Douglas never had any problems with Ambrossi and he was hoping to keep it that way, but apparently fate had other ideas.
Douglas brought Leo along with him to meet with Trent to discuss some upgrades that the heir wanted for some huge heist he was planning. Leo had been helping him develop some of his newest weapons and the kid was showing great talent as far as inventing goes, so Douglas figured that taking Leo with him and Marcus on an arms deal couldn't hurt. Just so he could see how things in this particular field of illegal trade.
Marcus didn't really have much of a hand for that kind of stuff after all, sure he's smart but after five months of watching Leo hustle drug dealers and junk yard owners Douglas realised that the kid had skills. Marcus didn't have the same kind of charm that Leo had when it came to handling buyers. He was too impatient to stand around talking numbers and negotiations but Leo could talk circles around anyone for hours. Seriously the kid could probably sell sand in a desert if he wanted to.
While Marcus is the brute, Leo is the brain.
Douglas was sure that they'd make a good team someday.
Things were going fine. Leo just watched at first, he's met some of Ambrossi's men before so he knew how not to behave unless he wanted to get shot or maimed or worse. But then Trent asked why they brought a kid along for the party. Douglas just shrugged, said that Leo was his step son and he wanted to get the kid started on the family business at a young age.
Trent was surprised when Douglas told him that he had a step son. He's seen Tasha around the club a couple of times on his visits but he never knew she had a kid. Of course that doesn't mean he didn't know that there was a kid in the club.
He knew about what happened with the Harringtons, he didn't know all of the details but he did know that Clayton's iron will gave in after Douglas offered him something he couldn't refuse. The Harringtons were secretive about a lot of things but not when it came to things that they wanted, or rather things they considered to be under their claim.
He knew about the kid that seduced Clayton into unwittingly destroying his family's empire but he didn't know that it was Tasha's kid.
It was a little surprising.
Trent could see the obvious affection that Douglas had for Tasha and Leo, it was a little difficult to believe that the man would hand over his 'son' all in the name of money but apparently he did. At that thought a smirk slid over Trent's lips as he wondered how far he could push Douglas' hand without breaking their alliance.
He said that the weapons that Douglas offered him were great and suggested that they go back to the club to celebrate the good deal.
Nothing they haven't done before.
Only this time, instead of asking for one of the girls to keep him company for the the night, Trent asked for Leo. Douglas refused, said that Leo's escort days were over but Trent insisted.
Said he wouldn't go through with their agreement unless Leo was part of the deal. Much to the heir's surprise, Leo's the one that agreed to do it, said it wasn't a big deal and since he and Marcus are set to take over someday it'd give them a chance to get to know each other.
Leo gave him a smile and led him to one of the private rooms, hating himself a little more with every step he took and every second that passed.
Trent was nothing like Clayton or Marcus.
He was incredibly rough.
He kept Leo's arms restrained and tied above his head, held him so tight it left bruises, bit down hard enough to bleed and refused to let the boy close his eyes for even a second. What's worse is Trent was a talker.
He'd laugh and chuckle at the strangest moments and then he'd pur one dirty fantasy after another in Leo's ear. He'd call Leo names and tried to make him answer back.
But Leo could never really fully switch off his defiance, so he would never answer the way Trent wanted him to. He'd spit insults and sarcastic remarks, all the while expecting Trent to get pissed or freak out but he never did.
If anything Trent enjoyed it. Said he "likes it when they fight back".
At that point Leo realised that he'd given himself over to a sadist.
He was relieved when it was over and Trent left, hoping that he'd never have to see the heir again but of course he did.
Trent would go to the club at least once a month, it was an unspoken pact he seemed to have with the Davenports, he gets Leo once a month and the Davenports have the Ambrossi's unyielding loyalty.
Leo tried to handle it as best as he could. Kept his chin up and tried not to show any weakness. All he had to do was keep Trent happy, he'd get bored eventually and it'd be like nothing happened.
Eventually Trent did stop coming to the club, but it had nothing to do with him getting bored. There was some huge family crisis he had to deal with so he had to leave the country.
Leo was relieved, of course he was, but he wasn't happy with the life he was living. It wasn't until a year later that he'd finally had enough and decided to leave.
A week after he got killed.
Spike McCall.
He was a new recruit, came in a few weeks after Trent left the country and Douglas decided that they needed a little more muscle around the club.
Spike wasn't exactly the kind of muscle that usually hung around Douglas but he was strong, smart too. He knew how to handle himself in a fight and had plenty of confidence.
He worked security at Bionic and wasn't allowed to know anything about the inner workings of Douglas' business, but that's how it usually goes with rookies.
He had to prove his loyalty before anyone would let him get close and Spike did.
He jumped in front of a bullet headed straight for Leo when a car deal went bad a few months after he started working for the Davenports. Douglas was grateful so he made Spike one of his right hand men. Marcus was still suspicious of him though so he made sure that there were certain things that Spike wasn't involved in or knew anything about.
Leo was grateful too. In the months after the shooting, they got close.
Spike wasn't the muscle headed follower he pretended to be when he was around Douglas and Marcus, he was a lot smarter. Less angry and even less confident.
Leo's caught him blushing more times than he's sure the older man was even aware.
Spike was nice, incredibly protective of him. He was a lot like Marcus in some ways but then he'd be cocky and aggressive, just completely different.
Sometimes it felt like Spike was two different people.
There was nice Spike. The Spike that hangs out with him in his room sometimes and talks about everything and anything and jokes around with him whenever Leo's working on one of Douglas' weapons and helps him work on them. The Spike that blushed whenever Leo kissed him and whispered in the teens ear after he did.
Then there was bad Spike, the one that likes shooting things and watching them explode. Breaks anything in his path and has a seriously nasty temper. The Spike that grabs Leo's ass and makes lewd comments whenever someone else is around or bragged about burning down a building with a molotov cocktail.
Leo didn't get it.
He'd be one person when they were alone and then turn around to be someone completely different when they were in public.
And yet somehow through all of that Leo didn't dump him. He cared about Spike in a way that he didn't for his mom or Marcus or big D but somehow but somehow he was just as important to Leo as they were.
Leo sighed as he crossed his arms over the steel table and let his head rest on them.
Spike died two years ago.
Car bomb left behind by one Victor Krane.
Douglas and Victor have been at it since before he got Tasha and Leo. At first they were just friendly enemies, competitors if you will. But then Douglas got his hands on the Harrington fortune and took out the Baldini gang. That's when things turned ugly.
The only thing stopping Victor from taking on Douglas was Trent Ambrossi.
So after Trent left the country Victor saw his chance and made his first move.
The car that Spike got into was Marcus', Victor must have gotten one of his minions to plant the bomb in hopes of taking out one of Douglas' heir's only to get a henchmen instead.
Leo was devastated. Marcus tried to convince him that Spike wasn't worth it anyway and told him to move on, but Leo knew he wouldn't be able to as long as he stayed there with them. So he left.
He got an apartment, spent a little time to get a G.E.D and started doing a couple of courses at the local college. Douglas tried to give him some money so he wouldn't struggle but Leo didn't want it. It was a reminder of the past and he just wanted to move forward.
Tasha was more relieved than she'd ever admit to when Leo got out. She called him every other day to see how he was doing and Marcus...
Marcus took it the hardest.
Leo's come home plenty of times to find Marcus in his apartment looking like he owned the place. He'd spend the night or just hang around till midnight, of course he'd always try to force some money on Leo but Leo would always refuse.
It might not be the most lavish life he's ever had but at least he was somewhat happy.
He dated a girl named Janelle, she was pretty and smart but things just didn't work out for them. Then a few months later he started dating a guy named Adam Henderson.
Marcus hates him.
He's handsome, but not very bright. Marcus keeps telling Leo that if he wanted a pretty airhead then he should have said so, big brother would be more than happy to buy him a blow up doll. All he has to do is say the word.
Leo rolled his eyes.
Things with Adam were just simple, you know, uncomplicated.
Normal.
And Leo really wanted a normal life.
But then Marcus needed a favour and Leo couldn't say no.
Trent is back in town and as usual he wanted to hang out with his favourite toy before doing any kind of business with anyone.
But Douglas had other plans.
He's gotten stronger over the passed few years, despite Krane's meddling and consistent attempts at ending his life so he decided that it was time to cut Ambrossi loose once and for all.
Douglas planned on doing it at their next meeting. They planned to meet at the very same warehouse where Leo met him for the very first time, but Trent also had other ideas.
He had another deal that needed to be taken care of and wanted to take Leo with him.
Trent's done it before. He's taken Leo along with him before a heist or a drug deal, he said he liked blowing off steam before and after having fun so he wanted Leo close by to do it.
Douglas wanted everything to seem as normal as possible so that the ambush could work, so Marcus called Leo and Leo agreed.
Again like the idiot he is.
The drug deal Trent was going to was a set up.
The F.B.I managed to track the heir and found out about the exchange, arresting everyone at the scene of the crime, including Leo.
Leading to Leo being handcuffed and locked in an interrogation room.
Perfect.
He was supposed to have dinner at Adam's tonight. Leo isn't sure if he's upset that he's locked in a federal prison or happy that he won't be forced to swallow down one of Adam's delicious taste accidents again.
Leo gave a snort at the thought before pushing himself up on his elbows.
He likes Adam.
Adam is sweet and trustworthy and really warm and friendly so Leo really does like him.
But sometimes he can't help but think about Spike, in some ways he hated that arrogant pain in the ass. But in others Leo loved him.
He wasn't like Marcus or Clayton or Trent.
It never felt weird when they slept together like it did with Marcus. Spike never tried to hurt him like Trent did but he didn't treat him with literal kid gloves like Clayton.
It felt right, like that was how it was meant to be. In those times bad Spike was nowhere to be seen and nice Spike would blush and smile and Leo would feel safe and secure. It was different from the safe that he felt around big D and Marcus, it was warmer more intimate.
Adam is nice, it's good with Adam but Leo doesn't think he'll ever really feel what he did with Spike again.
A soft click of a lock suddenly came from the door and Leo looked up just in time to see it open as a suit walked inside.
He's been interrogated by enough detectives and feds over the years that the process has gotten kind of boring. Leo knows the drill.
Keep your mouth shut until your lawyer arrives.
But when the agent closed the door behind him and turned back to face the teen Leo couldn't help but gape in shock.
The man cleared his throat as he pulled out the vacant chair and sat down, setting down a file in front of him.
"I'm agent Chase Henderson, I need to ask you a few questions about-"
"Spike?"
Leo couldn't believe it, he just continued to stare at the agent as he looked away for a moment and cleared his throat.
"No, my name is-"
"You're an F.B.I agent?" Leo's pulse was racing trying to keep up with his thoughts, when it all fell into place and Leo's world came down on him in a crash. "You were playing us that whole entire time."
They've had rats before, mostly stupid undercover detectives who didn't know how to cover their tracks. Some were smarter than others and didn't get caught out until a few weeks later, but Leo could always tell when something was off about them. He weeded out the rats, Douglas trusted him to know who to trust and who not to.
And yet somehow he missed one.
A fucking fed!
Chase took a deep breath, "I need to ask you some questions on the event that transpired earlier this night."
"You've been an F.B.I agent all this time. Did you even care about any of us while you were there or was it all just a game?"
"Leo I-" The agent gave a sigh, "I was doing my job."
"Oh O.K so that time you saved me from getting shot, you were just doing your job. Trying to get us to trust you enough to let you in." Leo reasoned even as a lump started to form in his throat. "My God, Marcus was right. He said that there was something off about you but I ignored him."
"Leo-"
"Big D trusted you, let you into our home! I trusted you." Leo croaked shaking his head as he mumbled, "I'm such an idiot. The bomb wasn't Krane was it, it was you, you faked your own death."
"Yes."
"Why?"
The agent looked up at him and Leo could see his jaw clench before he spoke. "I couldn't gather any concrete evidence against Davenport so the mission was aborted."
"So you had to fake your own death. What F.B.I protocol says you couldn't just walk out the door? Not even a 'fuck you', no you just blow up blow up Marcus' car and fake your own death." Leo gave a chuckle even as his eyes started to sting. "You know Marcus loved that car, big D gave it to him for his sixteenth birthday-"
"Leo-"
"Oh wait I already told you that, that time I had sex with you inside Marcus' car." Leo gave a bark of laughter as his eyes started to fill with tears, "But, that was you just doing your job too right?"
The room was silent for a moment before Chase spoke, "Leo I'm sorry about what happened, but you need to understand-"
"Understand what?! Huh, that you played us? That I cried for three weeks over a guy that doesn't even exist? Or that you were trying to get my family thrown in jail?" Leo glared, "Don't worry, we're crystal clear on that-"
"Understand that Douglas and Marcus Davenport are criminals, O.K. They're dangerous they need to be taken down." The agent said clearly while Leo just looked away. Chase let out a sigh, "They sell guns, run a brothel, make drugs. How can you not see them for what they are? One day they're going you get you and your mother killed."
"Yeah well, I guess I just make bad choices in people I should trust, huh?"
Chase's expression fell, "Leo I never... I never meant for things to happen the way they did, but I really did care about you, I still do. Yes I lied to get Douglas and Marcus to trust me and yes, I faked my own death, but I never lied about how I feel about you. That much isn't an act."
"Let me guess, all of this." Leo said casting a quick glance around the room, "Is you caring about me?"
"Yes. When I found out that Trent was back in town I knew he'd come after you and after what you told me about you and him, I couldn't let that happen." Chase insisted as he reached out to take Leo's hands on the table. The teen just stared back blankly even as his eyes shined with tears.
"When you found out you had me followed?"
"Yes."
"Right and the fact that Trent always takes me with him whenever he's supposedly doing drug deals had nothing to do with it. You had me followed right up until Trent stopped at the warehouse and did nothing when he pinned me down and fucked me in the back of the car. No you stepped in when the buyers showed up, because you care about me."
Chase's eyes went wide, "What-"
"Let me guess, you're going to try and convince me to snitch on Trent and give up Donald and Marcus in exchange for my freedom, because you care about me?" Leo growled out as a the tears started to fall and he snatched his hands out of Chase's grip to wipe them away. "God. You really are a fed."
"Leo I didn't know-"
"Save it. I don't want to hear it."
The agent gave a sigh of frustration as he opened the file in front of him, "I need to get your statement on-"
"Not until my lawyer gets here."
"Damn it Leo! Why won't you just open your eyes?" Chase growled as he shut the file and glared at the teen. "I know Marcus sent you out there tonight as bait, the same way Douglas did with Clayton. They're using you."
"The same way you used me to get close to my dad and brother." The teen shifted a bit in his seat, "I must make great asshole bait."
"I wasn't using you I just... They're dangerous Leo. Do you have any idea, what Tritan is doing to people on the streets? What Trent is doing with those weapons you and Douglas made for him?"
Leo shook his head. "Doesn't matter."
Chase gaped, "It doesn't matter?!"
"Douglas kept me and my mom when we were... When Michael Stanley betrayed us Big D saved us from having a life that could've been much worse. He kept us safe, put a roof over our heads. He does the same for everyone else that works for him. Marcus is my brother and Douglas Davenport is a better father than Stanley ever was. So no, it doesn't matter."
The agent got up out of his chair and started pacing the room until he came back to a stop in front of Leo."You don't care about all the evil he's done?"
"Evil?" Leo frowned, "Big D kept us safe."
" 'Big D' sold your mother for a couple hundred bucks at a piece before turning around to do the same to her sixteen year old son."
"Whatever happened to me was my choice, no one forced me into anything."
"So what, you're a prostitute of your own free will?" Leo glared and Chase glared right back, "I guess this is how you're joining the family business. Like mother, like son right."
"Fuck you."
"I already have." Chase snapped and regretted it almost instantly when Leo stared back at him with wide eyes and the room dropped into silence.
The agent raked a hand through his hair as he took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean-"
"I want my lawyer."
Leo's eyes were cold as he stared back when another tear streamed down his cheek, Chase's eyes softened. "Leo-"
"I want my lawyer... Tell Adam it's over."
"What?"
"Adam Henderson, he's your brother right? He told me his brother was in the F.B.I so I figured he would be the perfect guy to start over with... This explains why I've never met you. I guess he was just using me too."
"No he-"
"You know what's fucked up?" The teen laughed even as his expression filled with heartache, "All of this and I still love you, Spike... Or Chase or whatever the hell your name is."
"Leo-"
"I don't care, it's over." Leo said wiping his face and roughly wiping his eyes, "I want my lawyer, I won't say anything till she gets here."
And right on cue the door flew open.
"Alright, who am I busting out this time?"
Terry Perry.
She used to be a principal in some highschool then she got into some trouble with a loan shark but got Douglas to get her out. She paid back her debt before doing some law courses online, a year later she went from principal Perry to attorney Perry.
She didn't have a lot of credentials but she could work the police force and federal bureau of intelligence like you wouldn't believe. The woman is a legal pit bull.
Douglas has hired her to get him out of a lot of sticky situations so at this point, she was basically the family lawyer.
"Dooley?" The woman paused in shock for the briefest if moments in the doorway, if Leo didn't know any better he'd swear that was concern he saw flash across her eyes.
But of course, he knows better.
"I thought Duggie cut you loose years ago!" Terry said as she walked in the room, not even bothering to shut the door as she tossed her briefcase on the table with a glare.
Leo sighed, "Marcus called me cause... He needed help."
The woman gave a nod of understanding before looking down at Chase with a glare, "Hey, squat mug, you're in my seat. Get the hell out of here before I show you how I became the Mexican woman's league wrestling champion."
The agent looked up at her, "He still needs to give a statement."
"And you'll get your statement, soon as I've spoken with my client first." When Chase looked back at Leo and the teen diverted his eyes, Perry growled, "Look thumbelina, It's Dooley here's right to have legal council with his lawyer before giving any kind of legal statement. He asked for a lawyer and now I'm here, which means that you need to leave."
Chase sighed as he got up and took the file with him as he turned towards the door but paused in the doorway. "Leo-"
"Maybe I didn't make myself clear so how about I say it like this; it's been a long time since I've ended a career and I've been dying to get my hands on the feds for years. My client is clearly uncomfortable and distraught after spending who know how much time with you. Now get out of here or I'll take you down faster than you can say lawsuit, Judas."
Chase gave Leo one more look before reaching out to close the door as he left the room.
Perry gave a sigh as she looked back at the teen and sat down, Leo gave a sniff as he asked, "Did you know?"
"About 'Spike'? I'm just as surprised as you are. Look, we'll deal with that later. For now," The woman pushed her seat in and opened her briefcase as she spoke. "Marcus didn't tell me who I was getting, but since you're here I'm guessing this has something to do with Ambrossi."
Leo gave a nod, "Yeah."
Perry took out a small round device and pressed a button on the bottom making a red light flash on the top before setting it down on the table. Leo smiled.
"Big D's signal disrupter."
"Feds have ears everywhere kid, never leave home without it." Perry said with a small smile before turning serious as she put her arms on the table, "Alright, you know the drill. What happened?"
Leo took a deep breath and spoke.
The End
A/N: Another sad ending.
I only just realise that technically, Leo cheated on Adam with Trent, but I guess it could be interesting if he ended up with Adam anyway.
The idea is that Donald isn't Adam, Bree and Chase's father but that their mother worked for him at Davenport industries. That's why they don't know Douglas as uncle Duggie. Douglas would've kidnapped them and given them bionics if it weren't for his father dying and then of course Marcus is not an android but he is Douglas' son.
As for everyone else, ages and stuff don't match up with canon but whatevs, it's not supposed to anyway. Somehow I feel like Perry would make a great lawyer and Caitlin an insanely interesting madam.
Anywho...
Please review.
