(peeks around the corner) hi yall…. I'm sorry it has been so long. I would give you a huge explanation, but I know that no one really cares. Anyways, I will continue the story. This is Tayta1895 btw. Oh, and how bout that episode tonight? Total Longvic shipping.


He had sit me down in the chair behind his desk before going out to Doctor Bloomfield when he had arrived. I slightly remembered him telling Ruby to call him, but why hadn't really registered. Only one fact seemed to stay in my mind.

Sean is gone. The initial shock seemed to have gone. It's place was taken by anger. Unadulterated hatred, actually. My job had always been to protect people, yet I couldn't even protect my own husband.

I stood from Walt's desk, pacing now. I had to think of the things I knew. What did I know?

I knew that Sean was gone.

I knew that it had to have been Gorski, there wasn't anyone else that hated us.


I didn't have time to think any further than that though due to Walt's hand landing on my arm. It sent a wave of chills down my back. "Vic, here take these."

He held out two pills to me with a bottle of water. I looked up at him, trying to focus. I couldn't let my anger flash out at him too. "Walt, I'm not taking anything, I have a job to do."

I tried to push past him, but the hand he rested on my arm took a firm grip. "I know how bad you are hurting, Vic. I do. And I know what you want to do. It's not your job either. Take these and just relax for a bit."

I attempted to pull from his grip, but it just jostled him. "Walt, let me go! I don't want to fucking calm down! He has to pay!" My anger quickly dissipated to tears when Walt wrapped me in his arms. He soothed his hand up and down my back, trying to calm me as the torrents of my tears covered his shirt. "Walt, please...It's all my fucking fault. I got him killed."

After a few minutes my tears had subsided and he held me back, looking down at me. "I will help. I promise you we will find who did this. If it was Gorski, he won't get away with it. But Vic…" I looked up to him when he paused, to notice he was looking directly into my eyes. "Vic, I can't let you do something you will regret. And if you kill Gorski, it will ruin your career and your life."

I nodded my agreement, trying to fight back the next wave of tears trying to push forward. "Okay, maybe I should take those after all."

He smiled a knowing smile to me and held his hand out, still holding them. "Only if you are sure. Don't if you really don't want to."

I nodded, taking the pills quickly with some water. "Yea."

He nodded, a dark look covering his face. "You can stay in here and sleep. Don't want you out in the cell."

I nod, pulling back from him and sitting down on his couch. "Thanks Walt."

He scuffed his feet against the floor for a moment before looking back to me. "Vic, I will do whatever it takes to get whoever did this. I promise."

I felt my senses slowly numbing and getting fuzzy as he spoke. I curled my legs up under me on the couch, leaning on the armrest. " I know Walt. I know you will. Get him."


I wasn't sure if I was right, but I was almost sure I had heard him whisper 'I promise' again when he draped his coat over me as I faded out. I wasn't sure, and couldn't really know, because in the next moment, everything was black.


I haven't been putting a second authors note down here, however I felt I needed to. I want to apologize for the short chapter. It is 1:09 in the morning And I have a class I have to be up for in less than 4 hours. I will try to be more prompt and do longer chapters. Love all the readers. Special props to TheGodmother2 again. Y'all really don't understand the amount of crazy she has to put up with from me. Plus, she isn't rude or anything about my schedule, just adapts to it, which I am eternally grateful for. She is a phenomenal writing partner!
