Criminal Minds [Multiship] * H I A T U S *

《10 - History》

Chris and Demon walked over to a private salon, a few seats around a table, and an alcohol cabinet.

Chris pursed his lips as Demon walked over, handling two glasses and a bottle of Johnnie Walker.

"Drink?" he asked.

Chris lightly shook his head. "Still sober."

He chuckled and nodded. "Just like your old man."

Chris sighed. "Yeah, I guess so.

"Its been, what... 12 years?" Demon asked, grabbing a bottle of sparkling water from a nearby fridge, handing it to Chris. "Seems like forever ago since their last mission."

Chris hated the fact that he was on this topic, but he understood why.

"Unlikely team, just like you and me," Demon smiled. "Your father was the most respected deputy sheriff of all of Scranton."

I smiled. "And your father was the most respected mafia leader in all of Pennsylvania, Vinny."

Demon smiled, then frowned. "I know you wish you were there."

Chris's smile fell.

"You and me both. Would haved both our mothers from years of tears and agony," Vinny said.

Chris sighed. "Barely anyone survived that explosion.... Anyone who did... who was of his people... is either dead of the explosion or lethal injection."

Demon nodded. "At least they were stopped. Our fathers didn't die in vain," he said, sipping the alcohol.

Chris sighed and nodded. "Yeah.... Cobra Mauro would be proud of you, Vinny. You continue making the Cobras strong and powerful, just like he did."

Vinny smiled. "Sherrif Thomas Cerulli would be proud of you, too, Chris. You're a special agent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation... Even if you weren't he would always be proud of you."

Chris smiled.

"We should meet up for lunchain sometime," Vinny smiled. "Catch up on our lives."

"Hehe, yeah. Absolutely," Chris said, taking out his card and handing it to him. "Call anytime."

"I will. Send love to your mother from me," Demon said.

"Your's too," Chris smiled, and left outside.

Angelo spotted him and got up. "Everything okay?"

Chris nodded. "Yeah."

Angelo was quiet before speaking. "We should get going."

Chris nodded as Kuza, Ghost and Matt followed them, said goodbye to Ryan, and left.

*flashback*

15 year old Christopher sat next to 12 year old Vinchenzo as they concentrated on their video game. 14 year old Angelo watched as his friends battled each other.

Both Vinchenzo and Christopher's mothers cooked lunch in the kitchen.

"Arrgh!"Chris groaned as his opponent won another level.

"Haha!" Vinchenzo laughed triumphantly.

All of a sudden the doorbell rang.

"Who could that be?" Chris asked.

"Maybe my mom. Its getting late," Angelo said as the three boys got up and went to the door to see their mothers opened it to reveal two officers, along with Vinny's Uncle Lazzaro with them.

All of them looked injured.

"Lazzaro?" Vinchenzo's mother asked, confused.

"Katherine, Clarissa...." Lazzaro spoke.

The boys listened as the reality of life and death shrouded them, their mothers sobbing.

Vinchenzo was brave enough to step up and come to grips with the facts laid before him by his uncle, how he was told that he is the heir of the gang and all its riches and possessions, his mother protesting that he was still a little boy, how he couldn't handle the responsibility, but Vinchenzo only focused on the fact that he was never going to see his father again.

Christopher's mother holding him as they cried, agony in his heart as he held to his mother.

Angelo comforted his grieving until his mother had to pick them up, but then stayed to comfort them as well.

The funerals were full of painful silence as the boys stepped up to put flowers on their father's coffin, then having to watch it lower into the ground.

Both boys made a vow to follow in their father's footsteps.... To fight crime and bring justice.
