Betrayal 2 – Vic is betrayed by Terry Crowley.
Terry Crowley a dirty fucking rat. Vic still couldn't quite believe it. He and the others had welcomed Terry onto the team. Admittedly they hadn't trusted him enough to let him in on all their activities, their methods, but Vic had no doubt they would have. The trust had been coming; Terry had seemed like a stand-up guy. Jesus how wrong could you be.
When Ben had come to him, and told him what his contact in Justice had let slip Vic had been stunned. Aceveda, well Vic knew Aceveda didn't like him, although he was surprised he'd go this far. However, the news that Terry was a plant, a friend of Aceveda's, who'd been brought in just to bring down his team, that had made him feel sick. You trusted your partner, you trusted your team, and you trusted your fellow officers. At times you put your life in their hands, you had to trust them to have your back. Then this, a rat in their midst, ready to roll on them.
If Crowley, Aceveda and this Hernandez guy from Justice had their way, Vic and his team would be doing time down in Pelican Bay with every fucking piece of low life scum they'd put away in there. Christ, they'd be lucky if they lived a month in there.
It had been so hard sitting next to his pool watching while Crowley ate his food, played with his kids, acted like his friend. Vic had wanted to smash that rat's face in. He couldn't understand how Crowley could smile at Corrine and the kids, while all the time he was plotting to put Vic in prison. The slimy bastard lied and weaseled his way around the whole team so convinced he had them all fooled.
Vic knew what he had to do. Knew what he had to do to protect himself, protect his team, protect his family. Tomorrow he was going to tell Shane that Crowley had betrayed their trust, and let him in on his plan. He'd considered telling Lem and Ronnie, but while they were with him concerning everything else that was going on, this he wasn't sure of. Plus if they didn't know what was going to happen their reactions would be more natural. With Shane Vic knew he'd have no worries, Shane was a hundred percent loyal. Vic knew he could be counted on to do what Vic told him to, and to keep his mouth shut about it afterwards.
Vic sat by the pool, and took another sip of the now tepid bottle of beer in his hand. Everyone had gone home hours ago; Corrine and the kids were in bed. Leaning back Vic gazed up at the stars, and shivered as a cool breeze ghosted over his skin. This would be a step over the line Vic knew that. A part of him argued that this was murder he was contemplating, the murder of a fellow cop. Another part of him reminded him that Crowley was a rat, and you exterminated rats.
With a tired sigh Vic got up and went back into the house knowing that he'd do whatever had to be done, and live with the consequences.
