Just a random drabble that may have happened during class while we were discussing Heirs and how Boewulf didn't have any but he kind of did. So it got me thinking and Jess thinking is not a good thing.
Prompt ummmmm read above? But this is sometime in the future when thing have normalized out.
"Out of the years of working with Reddington, you haven't wondered that?" Agent Ressler and Liz were walking out of the post office and they were chatting about an unusual topic.
They both stepped into sync. "It crossed my mind once or twice. Dembe is the logical choice but he'd be too soft."
He stopped for a second making sure he heard what she said, Soft?! "That guy is scary Keen." He was wondering what guy she was talking about, because obviously it wasn't the same person.
"Dembe is a teddy bear, he may look scary but he is so soft. You just need to spend time with him."
"No thank you Liz, I rather keep my limbs."
"I see movies with him all the time. He has a lovely daughter and grand daughter." She was trying to think of other things to make Ressler see he point of view.
"And I don't believe you, nothing will change my mind."
"Fine." So much for that. She moved back to the topic they were discussing earlier. "But, no, Dembe would get a nice lump sum but he couldn't be his heir. He has a family he wouldn't want pulled into all this."
"No one wants their kid dragged into this world."
"So he'll drag someone else into it, making them a possible target."
Ressler asked the obvious question. "What about his daughter?"
She shrugged. "He has no clue where Jennifer is. Nor does he have any attention to find her unless she wants to be found."
He understood that relationship was strained and would probably never be repaired. "You found her, didn't you?"
Liz shrugged. "Once but she found me. Curiosity struck her and then she disappeared."
"Does Reddington know?"
"I never told him but he probably does." She wanted to change the topis or atleast get off of the uncomfortable topic. She hope he didn't point out the obvious but maybe Ressler knew better… "Maybe it's Aram."
His response was a snort and, "Yeah, Right."
The truth was Liz knew the answer from the start, and it didn't bug her as much as she hoped it would. She knew as for a fact she would never be pardoned, she had done unimaginable things which made her cross that line and she was still considered a criminal. Yeah, she knew the answer to Resslers question she would just never voice the answer. As much as she called Ressler a friend, to him his job always comes first and that is the quality that she loves about him. There was always a good possibility he would be chasing her again one day.
Who is Reddington's heir?
… I am…
To be honest it would kinda make sense and I don't think the topic would ever get covered on the show.
Thank you for reading and let me know what you think and remember you can always drop me a prompt.
