"So what you're telling me is that we've made too much progress, therefore you want to stop?" Harry asked I confusion
"I don't want to give everything away. It's happened too fast" Louis tried to explain
"Louis, we have three weeks until your court date. This is the date that they decide your sentence, after that we can only change it slightly. I need you to cooperate with me" Harry scolded
"I don't mind being in jail for life" Louis shrugged
"You could get the death penalty, and don't even act like that's not a big deal" Harry told him
"How? How could I get the death penalty. It's not even legal here?" Louis looked up in shock
"Because the man that you murdered was unidentified, he could've been an American citizen, or any other place that allows the death penalty. So technically, if he was from one of those countries, he had the right as a citizen to punish you to death" Harry explained
"But he wasn't" Louis said in shock
"How do we know that? You need to tell me all of this Louis. You just need to trust me, only me" Harry's voice softened
"I do! I trust that you won't tell anyone. I really do. What I don't trust is how your opinions on me will change" Louis told him
"My opinions aren't based on your past Louis" Harry sighed
"I don't know that" Louis looked down
"I'm here to help, why would I be judgmental of your past. All I want to know is your side of the story because all I've seen is a cold murder, and I am convinced that it's something. I'm willing to spend some of my precious time on this with you and it would help if you'd just help me" Harry pushed
"Sorry" Louis mutered
"What are you sorry for?" Harry asked
"Not believing you" Louis said and Harry sighed "Don't take it personally, I don't trust anyone.. Not after" The last past was a little quieter
"After what?" Harry asked, unsure if he was even meant to hear that part
"Everyone" Louis shrugged
"Well this going to have to change. We both know that you care about this deep down. I know that you don't want the death penalty. I won't let you get it" Harry said in determination
"I don't want it. But u don't want to tell you more" Louis frowned
"When?" Harry asked
"Huh?" Louis looked up in confusion
"When. When will you tell me?" Harry asked, the question this time was more self explanatory
"I don't know" Louis shrugged
"Soon?" Harry urged
"Sooner than I would tell anyone else" Louis promised
Harry knew that the answer that Louis had given wasn't actually good. But it was good to him
Not only because Louis was recognizing that Harry was different and unlike the other workers, not because he knew that Louis trusted him, but because be knew from his tone and body movement that Louis couldn't help but tell him, even if he didn't want to
And that to Harry, was good
"What are willing to tell me in today's session?" Harry asked
Louis just shrugged, not making eye contact
"Well in that case, you should probably get going. You're welcoming to come back at dinner time" Harry sighed
"Are you kicking me out?" Louis huffed
"I'm not kicking you out as such, but I don't see the point of you being here if you're not willing to tell me anything" Harry told him
"Well you get the privilege of seeing my face" Louis smirked
"And obviously that makes all of the difference" Harry laughed slightly
"Of course it does. Looks are everything. They're the reason that I'm sat here right now" Louis shrugged
"You're here so that you can stare at me" Harry raised an eyebrow
"If you want to put it that at then sure. But that's definitely part of it" Louis nodded
"You're unbelievable" Harry shook his head on amusement "You're meant to be helping yourself out if this place yet you choose to use the time looking at my face"
Louis hummed in agreement
"That won't get us anywhere, you know that right?" Harry asked
"I know that Harry, but I'm choosing to ignore that"
"Ignore the fact that you're in hail for murder?" Harry frowned
"No. Ignore the reason that I committed the murder and ignore that I need to tell you some time soon" Louis sighed "I just want to forget it"
"Do you regret it?" Harry asked
"No. I only regret it when I think about my position now. But when I think of why I did it I get angry all over again and I can't help but want to stab a blade through that ass hole again" Louis smiled slightly
"He did something to you Louis. I need to know what" Harry pushed
"Soon" Louis answered "You have to trust that I'll tell you"
"I do. I just don't trust that you'll tell me soon enough" Harry looked at him and Louis looked away
"Well.. That's something that I don't trust either"
