Agents Or Criminals?

37.4

It's the next morning, Skylar is still at the police station. Skylar rolls her eyes as she is asked about Dom for what feels like the millionth time. Brian walks into the station before seeing Skylar in the interrogation room with Stasiak. Brian walks over to a desk before picking up the phone.

"Hi. This is Forsythe in Evidence. I need Stasiak down here right away to sign some greenies," Brian lies to the person he is talking to. Brian hangs up before turning to Trina. "Hey. Okay, I narrowed it down to 50 or so David Parks. What I'd like you to do is run the make and model on each one of them." Stasiak leaves the interrogation room, causing Skylar to let out a thankful sigh. Brian then walks into the interrogation room. "Hey, Tyler, we got a transfer." Brian then walks over to Skylar. "You want to come with me?"

Brian takes her to a little cafe, so they can talk.

"I'm almost done," Skylar says as she looks at her almost empty cup of coffee. "Why don't you tell me why you dragged me here, Brian?"

"I suppose, I miss you wouldn't be a good enough answer," Brian says causing Skylar to roll her eyes. "You know they're going to capture Dom. Maybe worse. I don't want you getting tangled up in this. So stay away from him."

"That's what you have to say to me after two years?" Skylar asks Brian with a glare. "All of a sudden, you care what happens to me."

"I've always cared. What I did to you was wrong. I'm sorry. It was... It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do," Brian says as he looks down ashamed.

"I'm sorry, too, Brian. I'm so sorry for wanting to have a future with you outside of law enforcement. I'm so sorry that you ripped my family apart and still had me loving you. I'm very sorry that, that was hard for you," Skylar apologizes sarcastically.

"I lied to you," Brian tells her. "I lied to Dom. I lied to everybody. That's what I do best. It's why the Feds recruited me."

"Maybe you're lying to yourself," Skylar says as she could tell that Brian was going through something. "Maybe you're not the good guy pretending to be a bad guy. Maybe you're a bad guy pretending to be the good guy. You ever think about that?"

"Every day," Brian answers her. Skylar nods before she goes to leave but turns back.

"I always wondered, why did you let Dom go that day?" Skylar asks since they had never really discussed it.

"I don't know," Brian answers her before she leaves. "Shit." Brian sighs knowing he had just let her slip out of his life again. Brian then goes back to the station.

"Brian!" Trina calls as he walks in. "I got the cross-checks on David Park back and have a list of possibilities."

"What do you got?" Brian asks her.

"All right. A 45 year old male in a '06 Scion, with three reckless driving tickets," Trina reads the first one.

"No," Brian tells her.

"An '01 Chevy Tahoe,"

"No,"

"Two Mini Coopers, a '06 and a '07, a Toyota Hybrid,"

"Hell no,"

"A '98 Saturn, a '95 Sebring, a '98 Nissan 240 with an illegal mod,"

"Wait. That's it," Brian stops her. "The 240 with the illegal mod."

"How do you know?" Trina asks him

"'Cause that's something I'd drive," Brian answers as he goes through the papers.
