Jim Moriarty x Reader

Chapter 57

William stared at you and you were silent, thinking a moment.

".... look William, I'm going to be completely honest with you... I can't tell you right now. But someday, you'll know." You smile up at him, hoping to god he doesn't question anymore, and Alex doesn't get shot in the head.... William stared at you silently a moment, then just nodded.

"Alright, fair enough. .. I should get going, I gotta show Alex around some more. ... thanks for the talk though, y/n. It meant a lot." He smiled, and you smiled back as he left the room. You were glad he felt at least a little better after talking about it..

.. as soon as they left the room, your phone buzzed again.

'Finally.'

'What the heck do you want?!!' You finally texted the man back.

'Woah woah woah, watch your profanity, my dear~!! ... anyways. Wanted to check up on you~ how did your training go~?'

'Great. When I finally meet you I can actually shoot you in the head from 20ft away now.'

'Perfect~. Now stop talking to 'willy boy' about his family.'

'Why? Are you connected to him somehow?'

'You know I don't give away information like that without a price~~~ but let me just say this. Williams life is uncharted territory- don't put yourself in the middle of it, you'll have a LOT more to deal with.'

'And why would you care?'

'Well, you facing more enemies messes up my plans~~ I want you all to myself. You're all so fun to play with.'

You glared at your phone. What the hell was wrong with this man. He made no sense. It's like everything he says he backtracks, but then backtracks on his backtrack, and makes everything absolutely impossible to understand. All you got from that was this man was a creep that liked to mess with you, and somehow talking about William's family life would get you into a lot more trouble. Maybe this man knew you were considering asking jim more about Williams dad, in order to try to find him and track him down now... maybe Williams dad was a bad person? Or... maybe he was dead...? And someone had something seriously against him, like some sort of revenge thing where they wanted to kill William because of his father's mistakes....? You had absolutely no idea. The possibilities were endless, but either way, you decided to back off about the topic for a bit...

.... in the meantime, you needed to work harder at trying to get all the information from this man that you could.

'Fine. Anyways. Dying to finally see what that pretty face of yours looks like so I can screw it up.' You texted him. There was a few seconds pause before you finally received a text back.

'Hah!! Do you really think you're capable of that yet, my dear~?'

'Yes. Yes I do.' You texted back confidently, smiling smugly at your phone. .... but your smile immediately faded at his response.

'Good. Me too. Hold on to that skill~.' Damnit. The man wants you to be violent, hence the knife he gave you... ugh. You really had to think before you texted. He would trick you into saying all kinds of things you didn't mean to... he just forced you to remember how violent you could get when you wanted to be..... and.... you still tried desperately to force yourself to believe that you never wanted to be, and never would be violent. ....... a little late for that, though. .... you've already tried to kill jim once...
