Outsiders (DBH Connor x vampire!OC)

Chapter 38

It doesn't take long for Perkins to arrive.
Fowler is out of his office when he sees him, still oblivious to the fact that Faith is present in the precinct.
"You are going to explain this to the higher ups. What happened is unjust and not ethical."

"I think that he and I should have a word." Faith says from behind Fowler.
The captain startles and looks behind him. "What are you doing here? You are not going to work!"
"Wanted to talk to him." She points at the FBI agent.

"Although I am flattered with the amount of people wanting to talk to me, I don't have time for this. You summoned me. I have to be at Allen's office in 30minutes."

"I'll call Captain Allen, I presume I wouldn't mind waiting when it comes to this." Connor says as his LED whirls orange, probably calling.

"If you wouldn't mind, agent Perkins. Captain, could we use your office?"
"You know the way."

Perkins walks in the front, followed by the captain and Faith. All eyes on them.
In the office, Fowler sits behind his desk, Perkins on one of the chairs. Faith refuses to sit and keeps standing near the door, Connor stays next to her.

"How long were you planning to keep it going?"
"Until you stopped it. And you did, didn't you."
"Ever thought that I forgot about the microphone. I didn't know I had this until after I was rescued."
Fowler turns pale.

"Your ending words, weren't to us?"
She shakes her head. "I wanted it all to end. I wanted him to stop. I didn't beg to be saved, I begged to be killed. To end his torture. I still feel every single thing he did. Even now, when everything is healed, I feel it. I see it. I know I am saved. That this is real, but it isn't over in my head."

Connor pulls her closer to him, wraps his arms around her waist and anchors her.
"And you kept it going. After he confessed. After there was certainty. You kept it going. You allowed him to torture me, to break me apart piece by piece."
She feels Connor's hold tighten a bit, and she feels safe with him.

"So I will file a complaint against you, Perkins. But I wanted to tell you first."

Faith looks at Connor who lets her go.
Walking out if the office she tunes out the yelling that starts. Fowler is seething, Connor is barely keeping it together.
Perkins is a mouse, surrounded by cats.
