Once Liz left the post office Ressler turned around to Aram
"Aram I want you to get everything you can on Parrot" Ressler said putting hands on his hips. Aram simply nodding and getting to work
An hour later looking at the clock reading it was 7:35 PM sighing, putting his laptop away and getting his stuff together, turning off the lights. Walking downstairs from his office to the younger Agents "Everyone go home we've had a long week. Aram get me everything you can on Parrot come morning" He said smiling to them
"Yes Sir" Aram replied, Ressler turning on his heals to the elevator pulling his phone out to call his fiancé
"Hey I'm on my home I'll stop and get dinner" He said smiling for the most part he had a normal life may not be with the woman who he thought he was gonna have it with but he was happy
"Okay! Be safe, I love you" He could tell she was smiling on the other end
"I will, I love you too!" He replied smiling hanging up and putting his phone back into his pocket The elevator coming to a stop getting off and heading towards his car to go home
After stopping at Wing Yee for their usual dinner, on the drive home he thought about everything that had happened the last month but then the amazing night he shared with Liz 10 years ago on her birthday how happy they both were and the sparkle in her eye he was the reason for that sparkle that night it made him so happy thinking about it.
Pulling into his driveway and grabbing the food heading into his house, "Hey baby I'm home!" He shouted from the door way
Walking into his kitchen setting the takeout on the table as she turned around from doing the dishes greeting him with a warm smile like she does every and walking over to him Throwing her arms around his neck "Hey" She softly and kissing him on the lips and then settling down to eat getting the food situated as he took his tie and jacket off and rolling up his shirt sleeves
"So how was your day?" She asked as she grabbed the orange chicken and rice
"Our informants dicking us around again, have to now have Aram look into this Company" He explained to her
"Isn't this your old informant's child now?" She questioned raising an eyebrow at him
"Yeah yeah it is" he replied to her as he grabbed an eggroll
Her simply not into him extending a hand over the table and started to dig into dinner. All of dinner was silent no one saying anything at all on nights like tonight was when he wished he could tell her everything about his work and having someone to talk to but he couldn't do it because of it being classified.
Helping her clean the table and then dishes. Both grabbing a beer and going to the living room and watching TV, finally after an hour she yawned and then rubbed his thigh asking him if they could finally go to bed for the night simply nodding to her turning the TV off and throwing out there to beer bottles I'm going to the bedroom and crawling into bed.
Two hours later he was still awake with Jilian asleep next to him legs in your twine together slowly moving out from her, he got up throwing on sweat pants and a gray T-shirt and walking out getting a beer and going to sit outside.
He knew why he couldn't sleep, he was worried about Liz and what was going on, he was scared for her. Figuring she'll be asleep he didn't bother to grab his phone to call her to check in on her it's been too awkward between them as well. So that's where he finds himself sitting in a chair looking up at the stars
You know Red, I can hear you already. Donald, don't worry Lizzy knows what she's doing she'll be fine. Never thought I'd say it but I wish you were here to say that to me right now you know? But I know she's protected by you,Sam,Dom, her father, Tom. You know Red it was nice to meet Dom may not have known it was her grandfather then but hey I met him once right? I can almost hear you telling me to just make a move and tell her I want her no matter what.
God Tom for as much as I hate you I put it all aside when needed to. But goddamnit I hate you for what you did to her, you hit her, and hurt her so much. I will NEVER understand how the hell she took you back. Hope your enjoying hell.
He sighed heavily, pulling his phone out going to the Photo album and into a folder where he had all the photos of her and him and her. Smiling looking at him as a tear came to his eye oh how he wishes things were different right now, he'd give anything for it all to be different.
Finally after 30 minutes he started to get cold, turning his phone off and finishing his beer, throwing it out and then going and locking all the doors and heading back to bed for the night tomorrow would be a long day.
The next morning while getting ready Aram called him
"So I found out the Company is ran by a Scott Peterson and co-owner is Matt Orcutt, their a company almost like Halcion. But like them unofficial rumor is they help take down powerful people" Aram explained as Ressler walked and got into his car
"Well that would make sense they wanna go after Liz then,hey Aram I'll call you back" Ressler said worried, hanging up his phone and dialing Liz number
"So is that what this is about Parrot is going after you?" Ressler asked tightening his grip on the steering wheel
"No not me someone close to me I just don't know who yet" She said, not willing to tell him the truth
"Who?"
"I don't know yet Don when I know I'll let you know" She said hoping he won't ask more
"Liz…"But she cut him off
"No Don when I know you'll be the first to know I promise….now for the next name on the blacklist…"
