Eris stared at the updated war room boards, realising that all her lifes work has built up until this moment. Every minute spent researching, studying, writing, earning the well earnt degrees was all to be smarter than him, to out smart him and get his victims the justice they deserve. In that moment she felt it, the pain of everything that had happened in her life came bubbling to the surface and pierced her heart. Her hand physically went to grip her chest like it would stop the pain or at lest hold it bay until this case is over and she can feel all of her emotions at once if her mind so wished it.
"You ok?" Sebastian approached slowly, all the emotions she has been feeling had feel the room. He had been away doing some filming and was now back for the last few weeks before his schedule became full on.
"Urm" Eris paused "Yeah I am good, How are you? How was shooting?" Eris took one last look at the board before turning to him fully.
"Yeah it was good thanks, we did some really good work" Sebastian smile at her, a smile that she knew would cause her some problems later down the line but it was better than thinking of all that paint "I missed you though" He smirked
" Oh that was painful for you to admit" Eris joked with him, laughing as they left the war room this had gotten a little much for what he signed up for.
"Yeah it was actually, so don't leave me hanging" Seb laughs back with her, punching her lightly on the arm as they walk out into the ballpen
"Nah I think I am going leave that in the air for a while, just let it glisten" Eris moved her hands in the air laughing as she watched the invisible words glisten in the sunlight
"Oh thats cold!" Seb joked as they reached the elevator.
"Nah I have missed your face around here, but I am going to have to cut your clearance short" Eris said with a heavy heart but she knew it was for the best.
The information for the case was protected he could never speak of it without risking serious consequences with jail time. But the information about her links to the case were protected by her, He could never know them otherwise he would end up looking at her the like everyone else who knows and that is something her very fragile ego couldn't take at this point. Better to leave things on a happy note with these two.
"Oh really? how come?" Seb asks trying to mask his disappointment in his voice.
"This case is taking a turn into dark alleys that you don't need to be apart of. Trust me, as a person that has seen the vile and depraved things that the human race is capable of, this is something you don't wanna see" Eris tried to make sound as professional as possible.
"Well I appreciate that, I am not sure how much worse people can get from what I've already seen but I trust you when you say it can" Sebastian says in agreeance, awkwardly laughing with Eris as she slowly puts her hand out for his security pass. He looks down at her hand, the light glistens over the scars that have longed healed, his mind not quite processing what he is looking at. Taking a deep breathe he looks up at her piercing green eyes "Can I take you to dinner sometime?" He asks confidently "Like proper dinner" He clarifies thinking back to chinese food on her balcony.
"Are you trying to saying chinese food over looking the chicago skyline is not proper dinner?" Eris asks joking with him, they both laugh "Cause I would class that as a pretty beautiful dinner" Eris jokes, not using the word date, not because she didn't want to date him but because he had only eluded to a dinner date and she liked to make him say the things he hid behind other words.
"Ok you got me there" Sebastian jokes, he is a Hollywood actor, he could have any woman in the world but suddenly asking Eris on a date was becoming a little daunting "Can I take you on date sometime?"
"Yes you can but probably best to wait for this case to be over, I don't have a life when a case is like this" Eris joked with him.
"You don't have a life anyway" Greg joked as he walking past waving a thick file.
"Gotta go but call me? Maybe in like a week or two" Eris laughs, Touching her pass against the elevator door keypad and then pressing G "Maybe I should I call you" continuing the laughing as she runs after Greg wanting to know what is in the file. "Greg" She calls after him
