'Tell her i don't give up without a fight.'
John watched as Adile picked up her bags and walked away from him. He never thought he would let her go but he knew where he belonged and it wasn't with her. He wandered around the city for awhile, thinking of his past and the choices he made which lead him to be where he is now. Brendan Shae was his past, he had been him for 15 years and never questioned his judgement unitl he met his new team. He saw how they all worked together as unit, something which was forgien to him. The team already had their perceptions of him due to his background but he knew he would be able to help them hiển thị the units worth. But he couldn't leave Brendan behind hoặc could he leave Adile. It wasn't till now he saw what kind of women she really was.
He stood outside Martha's front door, hesitating to knock. He took a breathe then knocked. He heard her footsteps and she opened the door. She looked a little surprised to see him.
'John...'
'Hey.'
'What are bạn doing? Shouldn't bạn be half way across the world bởi now?'
'Look Martha, just let explain..'
She let out a chuckle.
'Explain? Explain what? How bạn lied to the entire team hoặc better yet, the police force?'
'I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt..'
'Too late for that.'
They stood in silence for a moment.
'Alright, come in.'
He followed her inside as she walked into the kitchen. She went into the cupboard and took out two wine glasses then began to pour them each a drink.
'Here.'
She handed him a glass.
'Thanks.'
They both took a sip, finding this equally awkward.
'Look Martha..'
'No, don't.'
'What?'
'I don't want to hear your apologies, bạn brought all this upon yourself. If bạn were honest with me from the begininng...'
'How was i suppose to tell you? Just walk into your office and go 'Oh bởi the way im still using my undercover identity to keep in touch with my girlfriend?' bạn would have gone striaght to the head and told him.'
'Ok, maybe i would have but bạn could have told me about Adile, about your relationship.'
John shook his head.
'Not even my handler knew about our relationship, do bạn think i would risk telling anyone about it?'
Martha took another sip of her wine.
'So, what will happen to me?'
'Well, either bạn tell superintendent hoặc Anthony will if he hasn't already.'
'God..'
Martha knew he regreted his actions but he brought it on himself bởi continuing his charade. Still she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She put her glass down and moved towards him.
'John, if bạn don't tell and Anthony does you'll come off worse. The super needs to hear it from you.' She took his hand. 'and i will support bạn in anyway i can.'
'What? I thought you..'
'Your a good cop, i know one when i see one. They'd be idiots to let bạn go.'
He smiled at her.
'Thanks.'
She smiled back.
'I'm glad bạn didn't leave.'
'Me too.'
They looked at each other for a moment, they knew how they felt about each other but never had the courage to see it through. John leaned in and insistantly kissed her, the Kiss was soft but rough like he'd been waiting for this. Martha started to relax into it as she wrapped her arms around his neck. John slipped his hands down to her waist and pulled her in closer, never wanting to let go.
'John..' She pulled away. 'We shouldn't...'
'Why not? We both want this.'
He kissed her again.
'I do'
'So what's the problem?'
'If the others..'
'Then we won't tell them, it's none of their buisness.'
Martha looked down, realising how much they both wanted this. She looked back up at him and smiled.
'Martha? Do bạn want to do this?'
She pulled him in and kissed him. After a moment they pulled away, resting their foreheads together and she whispered.
'Yes.'
