Fake Love

A/N: guys I'm so sorry, I really am. I'm back now and I'm going to try to get back to posting every Sunday but since it's summer I might forget what day it is lol. I have lots of new ideas and plenty of time to write so get ready.

*not dating, set in beginning of season two*

"But...he said he loved me. He does love me. He buys me things, he spends time with me. He loves me...right?" asked seventeen year old Tanya Marks.

She was the girlfriend of their newest suspect, Anderson Surelo, who was suspected of robbing a bank and killing a bank teller. Anderson was twenty-five and Tanya was seventeen.

He had her wrapped around his finger. She would alibi him for anything. She was young, and thought she was in love. He was just using her.

He reminded Erin of someone she once 'loved'. Charlie.

But this was worse. Tanya is now pregnant, which means not only is her life in danger, but so is the baby's.

When Intelligence found out about him beating Tanya, she broke down. She didn't think anyone would find out. Erin and Jay were now questioning her in the break room.

"Sweetie, he doesn't. I'm really sorry, but he is only using you to stay out of jail." Erin replied as gently as she could.

"But he said he loved me, he does. I know he does. But...but he did these things to me. He hurt me," she slowly lifted the sleeves of her sweater, revealing deep bruises and a couple scars. "Look what he did."

"I know," Erin said reaching out to grab Tanya's hands. "Can I show you something?"

Tanya nodded, sniffling back a sob as she wiped her tear stained cheeks.

Slowly Erin moved a section of her hair from above her ear and revealed a two and a half inch scar on her head.

At the sight, Jay quickly took in a breath. Instantly rage coursed through his body. Someone had hurt her, very badly at the size of that scar. He couldn't believe what he had seen. They had been working together for almost a year now and she's never mentioned it to him. He was going to find out who did this to her, even though he already had an idea.

She held her position for a few seconds then released the hair and turned back towards the teen.

"I know what it's like. I know what it's like to think you're in love. To think that he loves you, that he doesn't mean it. To think that he will stop when he promises he will. But trust me, he won't."

Now Erin had a tear slowly making its way down her cheek.

"Will you please help us catch Anderson, so we can put him away?"

Tanya didn't look up, she loved him. She couldn't turn on him.

"If not for you, for your baby. Keep your child safe and help us lock him up."

At that she looked up, with a fierce light in her eyes, and nodded.

Erin had completely forgotten Jay was in the room until he slide a notepad and pen towards Tanya.

••••••••

An hour and a half later, Jay stood in interrogation with Anderson.

"We got you, you're going away for at least 25 to life."

Surelo just held a smug grin.

"Good luck with that man, my bitch will never roll on me."

At that Jay just smiled.

"Well I hate to break it to you Surelo, but your 'bitch' just did."

The grin immediately dropped from Anderson's face.
