Episode 11 - The Good Samaritan - No. 106

"Yes. The next name on the Blacklist."

Lizzie raised an eyebrow as she stared at the man sitting on her couch.

"Shouldn't we go to the Post Office before we talk about another Blacklister?" she asked.

"I have absolutely no intention of returning to that building until the mole is caught. Until that day arrives you and I will be speaking at a place of my choosing," Red said firmly.

"Cooper isn't going to like this," Lizzie said. "Not only are you refusing to come in but you have no tracking chip."

Red smiled and said, "I could give less than a damn what Director Cooper likes or doesn't like. It's because of him and his people that I was nearly killed. That you were nearly killed."

Lizzie nodded.

"That Luli was killed," Red said deeply.

"I'm so sorry Red," Lizzie said softly as she looked at him with sympathy.

Red nodded but said nothing.

"I found out that her body vanished from the morgue that all the other bodies were at. Cooper didn't really look into it since we all knew it was you that took her to give back to her family," Lizzie said.

"Luli didn't have any family. Her parents and siblings were killed when she was a teenager," Red stated.

"Oh," Lizzie said feel bad for the young woman whom she knew so little about.

The both stayed silent for several seconds before Lizzie stood up and asked, "Do you want anything? Are you hungry?"

"Not really."

"Do you want anything to drink? I have wine."

Red remained quiet before saying, "Thank you, yes."

Lizzie turned to walk into the kitchen. She wasn't gone long, just enough time to get the glasses out of the cabinet, the bottle of wine, and the cork. Walking over to the dining room table, she sat everything down before turning to make sure her guest hadn't left. He had slipped off his windbreaker and was shrugging out of his coat.

Lizzie turned back to open the bottle when Red's hands fell on top of hers.

"I'll do it."

"Thank you. I'm sure it's not as good as something you normally would drink but I do like this brand."

Red smiled as he began to open the bottle. "I'm sure it's fine.

Lizzie accepted the glass he had poured her and made her way back into the living room, sitting on the couch. She watched him take a sip of the wine from his glass as he looked over her home, taking in her chosen decor.

It was several minutes before he spoke again.

"There's someone I think you should find."

The End!
