Chapter 7: Trusting Once More
Reddington arrived in Japan not long after Daughter Dearest called him; it's been almost a year since She disappeared and he was surprised by her sudden urge to speak to him. Arriving at an abandoned lot, he spotted a young brunette standing in the middle staring at the ashes and rubble left from the fire.
"Shiho my dear! How lovely of you to finally call!" He shouted out and pulled out a gun with a silencer and continued, "God, it's been so long and quite frankly, you have been very difficult to get a hold of."
Very peppy and sarcastic...he hasn't changed a bit
"I don't have time to talk, it's very urgent and I need your help." There was a plea in her eyes, she did not have much time left
Reddington rolled his eyes and sighed, "Well you could at least say hello, you know? Let me know where you have been? You know your husband has been very frantic to find you."
He put his gun back in his a jacket and sat down.
"I'm not his to find."
"He doesn't seem to believe that…He started at her a few seconds and saw her sadness and anx. He found a large stone and sat down. Turning towards her he said, "This risk you're taking, must be important?"
*sigh* "Yes, and please you have to keep this meeting a secret." She sat down next to him and looked at him.
"That's fine, but, I need something from you first."
"Hmm, you never change do you."
He laughed and started up in the sky and replied, "I run a business my dear, it's not a free for all."
She looked at him and said, "What is it that you want?"
"Information."
"On?"
"Your parents, what exactly were they working on?"
"Nothing more than a virus, some sort of drug that would go undetected."
"Did you finish it?"
"Yes."
"And?"
"I don't know, I left before taking any data."
"What about the boy they used it on? The teen detective?"
"I don't know, I left-"
"You were in his house Shiho, you were collecting data on his whereabouts, making sure no one got suspicious. What happened to his body?"
Shiho stayed silent trying to figure a way out of the conversation or make something up.
"The clock is taking Shiho and you are wasting my time. If you want that information-"
"He's alive!" Shiho stopped herself and was surprised that she said that.
"Where is he?"
"W-with me. He's the one I have been consulting with for the past year."
"Did you give Gin a default drug to use against him?"
"No, it was the real one. But, instead of killing him, it froze his body, made him paralyzed, stopped his heart for just a moment."
Looking at him, Reddington did not seem convinced, and yet, he stood up and told Shiho he would help her if she took him with her.
"I wish to meet this detective."
Confused she replied, "You don't even know what favor I need to ask of you."
"No need, you can tell me when we get there. Besides I have a fascinating story to tell you about a women I met in Cuba. You know? A crazy tale to pass the time."
He waved for a taxi, opened the door and placed his hand out to let her in. "Shall we?"
AH! Rewrite! I wanted to add more of Reddingtons true personality and not those who have not seen The Blacklist, you need to look up an episode or a clip to hear his tone of voice and his voice acting! It would make this dialogue more enjoyable.
Hate?Love?Review! ...please?
