"What now?" He said. Liz pulled out of his embrace and turned away from him, standing to get up. She then looked back at him, with upset in her eyes. "Liz?" He questioned edging off the couch to try and bridge the gap Liz now placed between them.
"Why would Red hire the Barber?" She spoke with confusion evident, she then turned and left the room with Ressler standing awkwardly waiting for her return. Within moments of which she returned with paperwork she had tidied away as soon as they got back to hers that evening.
"Liz, we can take care of that tomorrow," He spoke trying to focus her on him rather than the case, that he knew she would simply abscess over until it was solved. "Liz, I'm here," He stated. Looking straight at her, he made his decision. "I want this, but clearly Red is,more important." Ressler grabbed his shirt roughly putting it on and buttoning it up, then grabbing his jacket and heading for the door.
"Donald, wait!" Liz yelled after him. "I'm sorry, please just wait,"
"Are you gonna forget the case for tonight?" He said turning bad to question her. She looked at the floor, and he began to leave once more.
"No, please don't, I'll stop. I'll stop, I promise. Red just makes me crazy sometimes." She said as he turned back to her and walked back into the apartment. They got closer and closer to one another. He reached out a hand to brush some stray hairs from her eyes and tuck them behind her ear. They leaned ever closer to one another unroll nothing separated them anymore and they were once again passionately kissing and his hands were in her hair and hers in his. Neither wanted that moment to end.
"Right now let's get to work." Donald spoke after their kiss ended. Liz baffled looked at him. "We're a team, let's solve that case," still confused she followed him and sat with I'm on the couch once more. "I knew you would still think about the case regardless if whether I stay or not, I just wanted to make sure we were a team," He leaned in pecking her lips with his own. "And we are," They both smiled, with one more kissed shared between them they began to look deeper into Red's finances to find this hit man.
Hours went by, it was nearly one in the morning and they were still grasping through all of Red's finances.
"I think we should call it a night," Liz spoke placing the paperwork she had on her lap on the table. "We might keep missing the obvious because we are tired." She stated turning to Donald, who was desperate to sleep. Liz stood from the couch placing the files on the coffee table and removing Ressler's and placing them o the table as well. "Come with me," she said reaching out her hand to him which he took not a second later. He stood from the couch and they walked through the kitchen into the hall then to Liz's bedroom. Without a word spoken or kiss shared they both proceeded to enter the room. Donald stopped just inside the room and they're hands separated. Liz turned back to him. He took the opportunity to close the gap and kiss her softly and caress her hair. She was lost in his kiss. He lowered down slightly to then lift her, her legs wrapping around his waist whilst his arms held her legs in place, their kiss never stopping. He placed her gently on the bed, moving the covers over her and then climbing in beside her.
"Liz?" He asked, the we're now face to face under her blankets, in bed. "How close is Red to you?" He asked.
"Quite close," Liz didn't question his question she understood why he had to ask. "Do you think Red might do something to you?" Her question shaking off her lips as she began to fear the consequences of their actions.
"Even if he tried I could handle it," Ressler spoke without concern. "Remember I can't feel pain," As he said it her realised the lie that he had just told, in that now Liz was the only thing that could cause him pain.
"No, pain at all?" Liz queried.
"None, except...losing you,"
