Deal With The Devil

Partners?

15 minutes later Roman sat in an interview room, anxiously waiting for Dean and Paige to arrive. The door opened and they were brought in, all three smiled seeing each other, Dean and Paige were handcuffed to the table, before they were left alone. As Roman and Paige looked at Dean they noticed he had a black eye and he was hiding his hands from them, upset Roman spoke.

"Dean, baby what happened?" Roman asked, as he examined Dean's face and hands. "You have a black eye and your hands are bruised and cut up!"

"I'm fine baby boy! I just ran into an old friend and he decided we needed to catch up! Too bad for him I was more than happy too!" Dean answered smirking.

"How are you kid?" Roman asked Paige, as he and Dean took her hands.

"Not as good as Deano, but I'm alright!" She answered, as all three laughed.

"What about you baby boy?" Dean asked taking Roman's hand.

"I'd be better if you two were home with us!" Roman answered.

"And Two-Tones?" Dean questioned.

"He's hanging in there and wants you both home as bad as I do!"

"How did you manage to set up this little meet and greet?" Paige questioned.

"I don't know really, I guess I annoyed Reed enough that he finally let me!" Roman answered.

"How's the investigation going?" Dean asked.

"We can't find any of the Wyatts anywhere! As for Reed's investigation...I don't know, you see we were...um, suspended!" Roman confessed, knowing they'd find out sooner or later and he wanted them to hear it from him or Seth, nobody else!

"You were what?" Paige asked, both her and Dean upset.

"What the hell happened Ro?" Dean demanded.

"After you were arrested, Seth and I came to the station to talk to Reed. We went to his office, where he threatened to fire us, but he suspended us instead!" Roman explained, purposely leaving out Reed threatening to throw him and Seth into jail.

"You...you got into trouble because of us?" Paige asked quietly, Dean let go of their hands. "We're not worth it Rome!" She added, Dean agreeing with her.

"The hell you're not! You two are our family, we love you and honestly Seth and I don't give a damn if we get fired! Don't you two get it yet? Nothing is more important to Seth and I than family!" Roman said taking their hands again, tears in his eyes.

"Agent Reigns, I'm sorry, but I have to return them to their cells now." A young Officer said gently, as he came into the room, Roman nodded sadly.

"We're getting you two out, I promise! We love you!" Roman said, as he hugged them tight.

"We love you guys too!" Dean said sadly.

**Meanwhile With Seth**:

"You're talking about a jail break? Are you serious right now Hunter?" Seth asked in disbelief.

"Come on Seth, don't act like you've never done anything like that before! Remember when you borrowed Deano from jail to help you save Paige and Roman? You're not innocent Rollins!" Hunter reminded Seth smiling. "Besides, I'm talking like it's more of a...prisoner transfer!"

"Prisoner transfer?" Seth asked confused.

"Seriously Seth? How the hell did you become a Fed?" Hunter asked frustrated.

"I know what a damn prisoner transfer is Hunter! What I don't know is how you expect to do it when Roman and I are suspended and we don't have any other Agents? Not to mention even if we did, Reed is one of the heads of the damn bureau, he knows every single Agent we have!" Seth questioned frustrated, as he stood and began to pace.

"I think by now Seth, you'd learn not to doubt The Authority! It's actually a little insulting!"

"Oh, I'm sorry Hunter, I never meant to hurt your sensitive feelings!" Seth mocked.

"You're a cheeky little prick aren't you Rollins?" Hunter asked, as Seth just smirked. "As for what you just said...we're working on that part of the plan right now, when it's finalized we'll explain everything to you!"

"Where do Roman and I fit into your foolproof plan?" Seth questioned, as he sat back down.

"Well for starters, you two need to make your presence known at the station the day of the transfer!"

"Giving us an alibi!" Seth added smiling.

"Exactly, you catch on quick! That way if you're seen then you can't be connected to it, you also need to act like the concerned boyfriends!" Hunter explained.

"Okay, but one problem!" Seth stated.

"What?"

"Who are we going to use as Feds?" Seth asked.

"Ah, that's where you two come in again! You need to use your connections and find us two Agents!"

"What?" Seth asked shocked.

"You must know a couple of Agents willing to earn a bit of money and the respect of The Authority?"

"We'll find them!" Seth answered.

"Good! We've got a couple new guys on the inside, we give the word and they know what to do with all the evidence against Dean and Paige; including the picture!" Hunter continued.

"You know about that?"

"There isn't much we don't know!" Hunter answered. "Have you found Wyatt?"

"I thought the all powerful Authority knew everything?" Seth taunted.

"I said there isn't much we don't know, I never said we know everything!" Hunter corrected him.

"No, every last one of them seems to have vanished!" Seth answered bitterly.

"We lost him for the moment too! He can't hide forever, especially with all of us looking for them, he'll screw up and we'll find them!" Hunter stated.

"Why are you helping us Hunter? From the moment Roman and I got to town we've been trying to kill each other and now you're willing to just let it all go and work as partners? I don't get it!"

"We aren't that different Seth, you know. When it comes down to it we both put family above everything else!" Hunter answered quietly.

"You expect me to believe that?" Seth questioned unsure.

"No, but regardless it's the truth!"

"So...um, what do we do now?" Seth asked changing the subject, still unsure about what Hunter told him.

"Well, you agree and we work out the details!" Hunter answered smiling, as he stood holding out his hand to Seth.

"I..." Seth began, as he stood starring at Hunter's hand, but was cut off when the door opened and Roman walked in.

"Seth, I...Hunter?" Roman said angrily. "What the hell is he doing here Seth?"
