I Don't Forgive You

12. Cut A Deal

"Keigo wake up," Hawks' winched as his eyes slowly opened. His whole body ached, causing him to groan in pain. He was sitting in a chair with his hands still bound behind him. His eyes adjusted to the dark room, and he could see Dabi sitting at the table next to him.

"Finally you're awake," Dabi whispered, "where's Shinji?"

The image of the police fighting his son came back to Hawks, and his gut wrenched at the thought, "they took him."

"We're in an interrogation room," Dabi stated, the worry in his voice evident, "they want something from us, or else they would have thrown us in Tartarus by now."

"Its nice to see you're awake," a man in a dark blue suit entered the room, "I am Detective Kamichi."

"I don't care who you are," Dabi spat, "We're not telling you shit."

"I'll be honest with you," the Detective continued ignoring Dabi, "you two don't peak my interest. A washed up villian, and a man running around playing hero, when really you're both just a couple of fleas, not worth the air you breathe."

"Then why bother to hold us here?" Hawks glared at the Detective.

"Well, I happen to have pity for fleas," Detective Kamichi smirked, "especially when they can help me catch what I'm really looking for. See I too, am a father. So I'm here to make you a deal."

Dabi let out a chuckle, "a deal with you? I don't think so. You can throw me in Tartarus for all I care. You have no case against Keigo, he will be released and he can take care of Shinji. And you will never get a word out of me."

"No case?" The Detective laughed, "thats an interesting theory, Touya Todoroki. But alas, you're very much mistaken. He's been harboring a terrorist for years, that in itself is enough to sentence him to more than a lifetime in Tartarus."

"I am under no obligation to turn Touya in," Keigo shouted, "you still have no case. We're married, I have no obligation to turn in my husband."

"I highly doubt that, there is no place in Japan where you could marry him without us being aware. But you are correct," Detective Kamichi gave them a wicked smile, "you are under no obligation to turn in your husband, so if you somehow managed to marry him without raising our suspicion. Then once we pull those records, you will be free to go home, Keigo Takami."

"But you will not see your son," the Detective continued, "Your husband now has an open case against him, and when he is found guilty, you being his husband means that you will both, be deemed as unfit parents. Neither one of you will ever see your son again."

Dabi clenched his fists, "If you touch a hair on his head, I'll kill you."

"No need for threats Touya," The Detective put both of his hands in the air, "I have no intention of bringing any harm to your son. I want him to be safe, which is why I'm offering you this deal. Give us Himiko Toga, and all of your crimes, will be dropped. With the case closed, there would be no reason for either one of you to be deemed unfit, and your son will be returned to you. Not a hair out of place on his little head."

"You're a damned fool," Dabi laughed, "you think I would give you Toga, in exchange for my son's safety? How safe do you think my son will be when the entire Liberation army comes for him as retribution? He may not understand, but at least he'll be safe. If we turn in Toga, there will be no where safe for him. Not anymore."

The Detective sighed, "I was afraid you'd say that. But here we are. If there's no deal to be made here then I guess I will leave you to the mercy of the courts. Like I said, I'm a father too. So I promise I will make sure your son is safe."
