“  i really don’t know how you do it. ”

         “ . . . i didn’t do anything. “ /  @ofsmalldoses​.

‘ well well well look who it is ! ’, aj announced wiping their hands on the rag before tucking it into their back pocket. they quickly looked at the clock behind the bar and just like that somehow their shift was over. ‘ i swear i’ve only been here 5 minutes , but i guess i’m not complaining. hold up. ’, they signaled towards the other. within a few seconds aj was clocked out and ready to head out. ‘ so , what’s the plan ? overthrow the government, gip your mom, steal the mona lisa, grab food from the diner ?  ’

send  ‘ i need you. ’ for my muse’s reaction

Jake turned slowly on his heel as he heard her words. He was trying so hard to hide it from her, to not let her know how much the case was taking over his mind. She had asked him to stop, asked him to pass the case onto Rosa or even herself. He was too involved with this one, but he couldn’t back out now. “That’s obviously a movie I’m writing.” Jake lied as he looked over at her, a hand rubbing the back of his neck as he continued. “It isn’t a list of all the leads and suspects on the Wall Street murder.” 

     she  knows  she’s  not  been  paying  attention  to  anything  the  other  is  saying  but  she’s  distracted  .  she’s  got  a  million  things  going  on  ,  and  she’s  exhausted  .  “  god  ,  i’m  sorry  ,  ”  dahlia  mutters  once  she  zones  back  into  the  conversation  .  she  drags  a  hand  through  her  hair  as  she  reaches  over  to  sip  from  her  wine  .  “  what  were  you  saying  ?  ”

Upon seeing his surprise by her offer, Olivia chuckled softly and nodded. “Yeah, I’m serious. You’re doing all this alone, it’s a lot of work for one guy, Alvaro.” she replied, giving him a soft smile. “You don’t have to be Superman. It’s not pressuring me if I’m offering it.” She had no children, and while she of course had her own things to deal with, if she could take a little stress off him, then she would try. 

He didn't want to let her go, he wasn't ready to leave. But this was something he had to do. Figgis was out there, and he had a chance to take him down. Before anyone else got hurt, before Amy got hurt. "I love you too." His voice was lower, trying to hold back the tears that were obviously ready to flow. "I'm going to find him, get him in custody and jump on the next plane here. I promise."
