《40 - Federal Rogue》

Probably should have stated that this story still has a few more chapters left. Hehe 😅
~~~~~

Chris walked down the halls of HQ, Agents Thomas Bell and Angelo Parente with him.

People greeted Chris on his return home, a few glared considering they put blame on him for the deaths of two colleagues.

Ricky and Bethany were at Chris's home with Devin and Matt keeping them company.

"God only knows what he would want with us," TJ said.

"Let's just hope for the best," Angelo sighed.

The men then enter the conference office. There sat Deputy Director Manson, rubbing his temples and Agent Brink sat in one of the chairs, along with Agents Purdy and Mabbitt.

District Attorneys Kelly Sirak was also there, along with Head Director William Francis.

Oh shit.... Chris mentally thought. If someone who's even higher than Manson is in the room, this isn't good at all.

"Gentlemen," Director Francis said, motioning to the chairs. "Have a seat."

The three sat down as Manson sighed.

"I don't even know where to even begin with this shit. First it was attacking a possible suspect that probably doesn't even weight 90 pounds. I could have let that slide, go on with my day," he said, making TJ shift uncomfortably. "But now, I've got 2 dead agents, hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage, and a little  conspiracy spewing serial killer shit who is gonna get away with house arrest.....!!!"

Everyone sat nervously as Manson scolded us, Director Francis tried to calm him down quietly.

"And to top it off, I've had agents working cases they weren't assigned to, agents going at a hostage situation alone, letting unauthorized civilians even handle a SWAT team's job, especially when majority of those civilians even have a hell of a record, letting three suspects lose without anyone's permission, the list goes on and on!!!" He snapped. "Give me one good reason I shouldn't suspend you all indefinitely or even consider cutting your paychecks a dollar a year and fire your Quantico instructors!!"

Everyone was quiet, hesitating to respond as he sighed, rubbing his temples.

"However, after a very, very long discussion with the board of directors, and some people from the DA and Department of Justice, we came to the agreement that the agents before me should not be punished," Manson said.

We all looked at each other in shock. "Beg your pardon?" Agent Purdy asked.

"I will confess, even though all of you have pulled enough shit in those last 24 hours to even get you all thrown in federal prison, the board is still relieved to know that a killer worse than your Roadkill Horror, Bundy, Night Stalker, and Gein combined was taken down," Manson said. "To top it off not only was 'Michael Vampire' the son of a feared serial killer almost 20 years ago, he was also his accomplice."

Everyone was shocked as they looked at one another.

"There is also something else we had agreed on, in regards to the "team" you all put together to save Agent Parente, Agent Cerulli, and the young SU intern, Alexis Dorame," he said.

We all looked at each other as then Kelly bent down for a moment and picked up a large stack of files and placed them on Manson's desk, where he grabbed a random one from between it.

"Let's see, Devin Sola, a.k.a. Ghost," he said.

"She's got a record?" Agent Purdy whispered.

"Does that really surprise you?" TJ asked in a whisper as we listened.
