This one shot will discuss how Sterling reacted about Lia coming, the mooning incident and the next victims of the masters all set in Bad blood.
That night I couldn't sleep. I just starred at the ceiling. Some light from the lantern shined into my room. My thoughts were spiralling in a direction I didn't like. So I did the only thing that seemed right to me: I called Tanner.
I sat up straight my back touching the cold naked wall. First I thought he wouldn't pick up but then he did. „Is Lia ok?" He cared. Of course he did. He knew Lia almost as long as he knew Dean. He always tried to act like he didn't but he always had a big heart. Hidden in a container he buried when Scarly died.
„I hope she is. I didn't hear anything from her yet" Silence on the other end of the phone. Just breathing. „Its in the middle of the night" It wasn't a question, just a Statement. He sounded surprisingly calm. Just tired. „I can't sleep. I'm too worried" Its a confession I haven't made to anyone yet. I always had to act like I knew how to keep everyone safe... the truth was: I didn't.
„In order for you to do your best you need get some sleep" It sounded so logical coming from Tanners mouth. I laid down again. Rested my head on my pillow and just listened to his voice. Tomorrow I will tell you more about what was going on here. I'm sorry I didn't call you earlier but I was really busy" A lie that was so easy to detect.
I didn't questioned not tonight. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe another day. „I missed you" I felt vulnerable admitting it but it was the truth and I hated how much my body just relaxed by listening to his voice. „I missed you too" Maybe he said more afterwards but I fell asleep and for the first night in a lot of nights I slept through the entire night without waking up or having nightmares.
The next morning we ate breakfast at not a dinner I didn't had to be a profiler to see that I wasn't the only one that was concerned about Lias whereabouts. Usually there was never a morning without Michael saying some inappropriate things or Sloane telling us some statistics we never asked about and when not even Judd gave us a morning smile ... we needed breakfast at the dinner.
I sat down next to Judd. „Can I get a tea please" The waitress lifted one eyebrow. „We only have black tea" Almost too fancy for her then. „Yes I take one of those and sugar please" After Judd ordering a coffee, she turned her back to us and mumbled something aggressive. „Well at least one of us is not in a bad mood" I knew it was a comment about my order because I only drank coffee when things went downhill.
„I talked to Tanner yesterday" My statement got Judd to raise one eyebrow. „Did you? After the public phone call you two had" It was passive aggressive nothing either of us should be proud about.
„Yes we didn't talk about much really" The waitress came back and first gave Judd his black coffee and with some hesitation I got my tea. „For the posh lady" She said in a fake British dialect and I tried not to react.
