Lucky You, Huh? (Fair-Game Detective/FBI AU)

Chapter 4

A/N: WARNING: Contains talk about sexual assault and r*pe.

Clover and Qrow arrive at the crime scene, where the body of twenty-year-old, Jillian Warner, was found. Those two, Robyn, and Winter search the scene, looking for any evidence that links Tyrian to the murder. The wounds on Jillian Warner's body matched those of Gregory Mullen's and others who were murdered by Tyrian. So, until the autopsy report comes in, it looks like that Jillian Warner was indeed murdered by Tyrian Callows.

"Winter, Robyn, you two go and talk to the victim's roommate. Clover, you and Qrow need to interview her boss; cause she was on her way home from work when she was attacked." James told them.

He gives them the addresses then sends them on their way. Qrow drives him and Clover to the restaurant that Jillian Warner worked at. They go in and ask the hostess where the manager was.

"Mr. Bryant is in his office, that way." the hostess told them pointing to a door at the back of the restaurant.

The detective and the FBI agent walk through the restaurant and into the manager's office. The moment they come face to face with Kurt Bryant, Clover immediately paled. In his eyes were fear, trauma, and recognition; and not the good kind of recognition. It was like he was looking at a ghost from his past...or perhaps a demon from his past.

During the interview, Clover never looked at Kurt, he kept his gaze at his feet as he sat with his hands shaking and his knee bouncing. He also never spoke, Qrow had to do all the talking. Though, Kurt didn't really talk much about Jillian, he mostly flirted with Qrow and Clover...the creepy, perverted kind of flirting. In fact, everything about Kurt gave Qrow total creep vibes. Clover's behavior concerned Qrow, because it was a behavior he knew all to well. Being a detective, he knew how to recognize a victim when he saw one. At one point, Kurt had placed his hand high up on Clover's thigh, making the agent flinch and bolt out of the room.

Qrow stares at the door Clover had just exited, shocked.

"What's his problem?" Kurt chuckled.

The detective just shoots a glare at the man and walks away. As he's walking through the restaurant, Qrow starts putting the pieces together, and came up with a horrible solution. He determined that Kurt had done something terrible to Clover in his past. Deep down, he knew what it was, but he didn't want to admit it to himself. Qrow finds Clover in the car with his head in his hands, crying and having a panic attack. He didn't dare ask if he was okay, because he knew he wasn't.

"Let's get you somewhere to calm down." Qrow said starting the car.

The only noise during the car ride was Clover's quiet sobs. When they get to Tai's house, Qrow gently leads Clover to his room. Luckily, no one was home; Tai was at work, Yang was at Blake's, and Ruby was at the dog park with Zwei. Clover and Qrow sit on the edge of Qrow's bed.

"Do you need anything? Something to drink?" Qrow asked.

"No, I just...don't want to be alone right now." Clover replied wiping his face with his sleeve.

"Okay, I'm here." Qrow said putting his hand on Clover's shoulder.

For a while, the two just sit in silence, giving Clover a chance to calm down.

"Sorry you had to see me like that." Clover apologized.

"It's alright, I have those all the time." Qrow said.

"Clover, did Kurt Bryant....did he...ya know...?" he asked, trying to find the right words.

Clover nods, fresh tears running down his cheeks. Qrow felt a burning hot rage form deep in his chest. He clenched his fist tightly until there were fingernail marks on his palm.
