The Letter
Warning: Suicide theme but not dark as it is only mentioned but not shown.
Author's Note: Sorry for the long wait I've been so busy lately. I thought that the new season in very interesting but more on that later…
Dear Special Agent Peter Burke,
I would say that I'm sorry but that doesn't even cover for a tenth of the trouble that I have brought to your doorstep. I put sweet Elizabeth in harm's way as well as countless innocent people. I think it is time that you, El, June, Jones, Diana, and everyone else just forgot about me. Let me be a legend, a ghost to never be seen again. Let me be the past and life will go back to normal.
It is clear to me that I will always be a drifter. No one can be around me without getting hurt in the long run. I am not fit for society. I have too many demons following from my past. I can not let them haunt the people that I care about. You always say that I can get out of any prison. For about the first time you were wrong about me. The only prison that can hold me is the one that will hold me until the very end. So I must end it. I have to escape my prison. Please don't look for me. Let me be. As I end this once and for all just know that you are only the person I've ever trusted completely.
-Neal Caffery
Peter stared at the text in front of him. His heart was thumping as he copied the note down at lighting speed.
"Hey honey," Elizabeth poked in and took notice of Peter's sheet white face, "is everything okay."
"No, it isn't. I need to find Neal right now before he does something reckless." Peter responded.
"What do you mean?"
"I think Neal is going to take an attempt on his life."
Author's Note: Don't worry I'm not going to make it very dark. The entire story (which will be longer than 3 chapters) will be told in Peter's perspective so it won't get graphic. This is just a mini chapter. The other chapters will be longer. On a different note, the new season is interestingly done. Spoiler alert! I hated the premier. I thought it was really awkwardly done. It makes no sense why would the bounty hunter want to kill Neal? He has never committed a violent crime. Peter is really out of character. The second episode was a little better. Your thoughts?
