I don't own The Blacklist and I don't make money with fanfiction.
This is ch. 2 of my oneshot collection, rated T and much different than ch. 1, although the end is fluffy, too.
But I have a question for you: How is it possible for a girl/young woman to find someone who's 32 years older than you and normally not your type so fucking sexy?! God, I like these new promo pics of James Spader :)
Read and review! (The lyrics are from 'just like heaven' by The Cure. Listen to it, it's a great song.)
xxxxx far away:
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you,
I promise that
I'll run away with you,
I'll run away with you"
"Make me disappear. I can't do this anymore, Red. Please, I want to run away with you. I don't care about this job anymore, I just want to start a new life."
"It will be a life in the shadows, everyone will look for us."
"I know what it means. I've thought about this for months. We can look for Berlin on our own, we don't need the FBI."
"Lizzie, what is wrong with you? You love your job. What happened?"
"Uh...it might be that Ressler reports to Cooper that we're a couple. He told me he followed us last week to the restaurant and then saw us kissing later. When I asked him not to report it, he just told me that this was his decision and that I should choose between going to prison or keeping my job, which would mean you in a box forever. So, run away with me. From this life, this job, everything. He told me about it today before I left the office, we need to leave now."
Red lay his hands on her shoulders and looked down to her. "He followed us? Last Tuesday when we went to the restaurant? I can't believe it...And now he threatens you?" Red's controlled rage was as scary as always. "Lizzie, running away with me and abandoning this life is a difficult decision."
"No! It's not! I thought about it even before Ressler found out about us. Please, we have to leave before the FBI comes for us and puts you back into this damn box and me into prison!"
"Are you sure about this-"
She cut him off. "How the hell can you be so calm? We need to leave now!"
He bored his eyes into hers. "Your life will never be the same-"
"I know!"
"Don't interrupt me when I'm explaining something as important as this."
She somehow managed to hold his gaze and nodded.
"Good, now let me tell you this: We will fly to Australia for a few weeks. I can pull my chip out on my own if I can find some morphine and then I'll destroy it. Dembe will come with us, Mr. Kaplan will clean up every mess we will leave and I have a huge security team that will watch over you when you're alone in case I need to go somewhere without you. Don't worry, it's true that I can cease to exist in sixty seconds."
"'Why are you so far away?' She said.
'Why won't you ever know
That I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?'"
"God, Red. I love you, thanks."
"I love you, too. Now get your things and hurry, we don't want the FBI to find us." he said and kissed the top of her head.

They were on the plane with Dembe, Liz felt a little like Bonnie and Clyde, she was really escaping with a criminal from The FBI which was looking for them. In fact, she was a criminal now, too.
Red explained to her the details of their new life, he told her about the save houses he had and some of his contacts they would meet to disappear completely.
Seven weeks later, they were already somewhere else for the third time, the FBI was chasing their ghosts, but their life wasn't easy. Liz had imagined it to be like that, there were times when she couldn't believe it was so damn easy to trick the FBI and then there were times when they fought for hours or days, like today.
"Are you telling me that you want your old life back? Nobody ever said it would be easy!"
"Damn it, Red. I know! I'm aware that it isn't easy right now, but I don't want my old life back. I just miss my friends sometimes."
"Your friends? Like Donald and Aram? Look, I'm sorry about Aram, I liked him, too. But Donald...he is the reason we're in this situation, don't you see that?"
"Of course I do! But...I already shot five innocent people during the time with you, I'm becoming more and more like you...and that scares me. I just..."
"You just what? If you can't handle it, go."
"What?"
"You heard me. Go and let them catch me. Let them put me in a box and you in prison. You are obviously not capable of living like this. It is dangerous and it is difficult, I know that, but if you can't handle that lifestyle, go."
They stared at each other, exchanging furious gazes. She almost turned around when she heard his voice again.
"Lizzie. Lizzie, I am sorry. I didn't mean it like that."
"Yes, you did. I won't go, no matter how difficult our life might be. I love you, Red, and I won't leave you. I chose this life with you and I can't go back. I'll stay."
"Come here, sweetheart. I don't want you to leave." Red said softly and kissed her on the cheek.
After a while, he realized that she was silently crying in his shirt. "I'm sorry, Red."
"It's alright. We will be ok, nobody is going to catch us."
"You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven."
Liz knew they would be ok, they were Bonnie and Clyde.
