I'll Love You, Regardless

Interrogation

"H-Henry?" Charles stuttered.

"The one and only," I smirked.

"H-How..?" 

"Remember, three years ago? You an your general sent me over to take down the toppats, but I threw the dummies instead. I became the new leader after that," I explained.

"Why would you do this? I thought you were going to redeem yourself," he sighed, lowering head.

"Crime is my passion, dear," I smiled, condesendingly.

"I believed in you!" Charles blurted out.

I walked over, put my hand on his chin and lifted his head up, "I would've had to believe in myself in order for that to happen, dear."

He whipped his head away, "Stop with the names!"

"No," I smirked.

"What are you going to do with me? Torture information out of me? Kill me?" He asked, pretending he wasn't scared.

"Charles, you are too pure for this world," I said.

"Well.. are you gonna hurt me?" Charles asked, quietly.

The look in his eyes was too much for me, even though I never planned on hurting him in the first place.

"O-Oh m-my god.. You're gonna hurt me, aren't y-you?" Charles panicked.

"No! No! I'm not gonna hurt you, or let any of my toppats hurt you!" I said, running over to hug him.

"Charles, regardless of how evil I may seem, I have morals," I whispered.

I could hear him whimper, and it broke my heart. I may be the leader of the top crimminal orginazation, but we don't kill anyone unless it's us or them. 

"Geoffory!" I called.

"Yes, boss?" He immediately responded.

"Would you mind taking our friend, Charles back to where he belongs?" I asked.

"Sir-"

"I said to take him back to his base. And I swear to god if any of hurt him, I will see that you are thrown off of the ship. Do I make myself clear?" I yelled.

"Yes, sir," Geoffory nodded.

"If they cause you any trouble, let me know, alright?" I said.

"Y-yeah.." Charles stuttered.

"I won't let them hurt you, I promise," I smiled.
