livquinn:
If it’ll give you peace of mind, sure. Weber… Be careful, okay? Don’t trust anyone. Especially the people you work with. I’m sure you’re aware of that by now.
‘Peace of mind’ still might be a stretch. I am aware. More so than I’ve admitted to anyone else. Working with them has been getting more and more difficult by the day. You need to be careful too, Miss Quinn. If you end up hurt I can’t promise to keep my distance.
livquinn:
No, no one attacked Julia or myself, not yet. But they will, and you will get caught in the crossfire. If I could tell you without jeopardizing your safety, I would, but right now I need you to trust me – I know we don’t always see eye-to-eye, but this is something I have to handle on my own. In its due time, you will know, and when you do we can move forward with everything we’ve been working on. I don’t need protection, what I need is for you to do as I say and don’t tell anyone about anything we’ve talked about.
I live in the crossfire. That’s been my job for years. I’m not going to feel right walking out of here knowing that you expect to be attacked sometime in the future. At least... take my other phone number. Put it on speed dial. It’s a burner phone, so I’ll let you know when the number changes. Use it if you’re in immediate danger, if you need “no questions asked” aid. That’s the only way I’m leaving your office. And like I promised when you signed me onto this job... no one else will know what we talk about.
livquinn:
It means that people don’t come after you, they come after the people you care about. I don’t want that to happen to you too.
Did somebody attack Julia again? Why are you being so cryptic? Is somebody trying to get to you? Olivia, I’m probably on the radar of half a dozen abusive, violent, and/or sadistic Dominants by now with all of the “investigating” I’ve been doing for you, for others, and for myself. I’m going to be in danger no matter what. I at least want to have the choice of being in the kind of danger that can save other people. If you need protection, if someone is in danger, then you need to tell me more than that so that I can help. And I’m going to be honest Olivia, you look like you need it. With all the discussions we’ve had together about your safety and this investigation, I’ve still never seen you like this.
livquinn:
You don’t get it. Everyone’s in danger. Even you, even your sister. I won’t have blood in my hands over a vendetta I may or may not want to pursue. You’re loyal and I can tell that you value loyalty above everything else, but if I’m going to offer you the same sentiment in return, I can’t put you in the line of fire when I know it will only end fatally.
My sister? What does she have to do with any of this? What are you talking about?
livquinn:
Aidan… Listen to me very carefully okay? You need to stop looking into this. Not right now. There are things that have happened that I can’t quite understand or explain to you at the moment, but leave the case, let it go cold. With everything that’s been going on, my parents’ murder seems really trivial. The money is yours regardless. I’m far more concerned about what might happen to you if you keep digging.
With how deeply this might run into the city’s police force and your own company, this isn’t trivial at all. That’s a huge part of why I took the case. And I’d like to point out again that it was also your attempted murder. You’re in danger, Olivia, and have been since you were a child. Lately I’ve been afraid that I haven’t been figuring things out fast enough. I appreciate the concern, but don’t ask me to stop, please, because I don’t want to refuse something you ask of me.
livquinn:
Half an hour… I need to be home by five.
I won’t take up much of your time. I have a lead.... Olivia. Any paper trail is nonexistent. We’re dealing with someone who might’ve done this before, or knows people who have. Hell, I might even be working in the same precinct as their connections. It’s getting technical. But my contact who helped me with those calls from Q-Tech before might be able to trace them more accurately if I can convince a legend of a hacker I’ve worked with before to get in contact with him. I’m going to have to pull some major favors, but I’m getting close. We’re getting close to knowing who was responsible for your parents’ death. And... your attempted murder.
@livquinn
Hope I’m not interrupting anything, Miss Quinn. And I hope you’re in the mood for some coffee from across the street.
rileyweber:
I’m sorry about what happened with your submissive.
I’m sorry I’ve been taking it out on you. And... maybe a lot of other people. I’m glad you’re here with me, Riley.
rileyweber:
Yeah. She’s… kind, and patient, and she has a big heart. She’s not a dominant either and I feel safe when I’m around her.
Then Cristiana’s place it is.
rileyweber:
Well, he’s not, okay? And I’m here, so what I know doesn’t matter because I just want to move on. So if you’re not going to let me protest, can you please drop me off at Cristiana’s now?
This world’s gone to shit. I won’t bother you about texting me anymore, and I’ll work on the controlling thing, I promise. Now answer me this and I’ll believe you because I think she is, but... she’s taking care of you, right? You’re good with her?
rileyweber:
Do you wanna know what mom and dad told me when I told them? That I was crazy, that I was exaggerating, that leaving him was just an excuse to try this new “lifestyle” with my “liberal” friends, that I should listen to my dominant, that I MUST’VE done something wrong and that I probably deserved it. So I didn’t tell them he stalked me until my senior year, until I filed a restraining order that took months to get through because the cops were skeptical.
And they had the audacity to send you away. It wasn’t an excuse, Riley... it wasn’t you disobeying your Dominant. You know that, right? He was– he should be behind bars.
rileyweber:
… When I was in my sophomore year of college I met this guy, his name was Tristan but everyone called him Mr. Hadley because he was the TA in my Creative Writing class. He was a dominant and he was really nice, the kind of guy who kind of inspires trust. We started dating, steadily like three months later, and our parents loved him. He was a traditionalist and believed all the crap they believed in; I guess I thought it was normal to hear someone talk about dominating like a way to assert power over someone. Who knows, I thought I loved him and we had sex… A lot. We did scenes, a lot. At first it was all fun and games, the first few months, and then he started acting weird. He would get jealous of anyone I talked to, he would force me to tell him where I was going and who I was with, he’d forbid me from hanging out with my friends and force me to stay home with him.
One of those days when I missed a birthday party because he wanted to stay home and… Well, he had his hands around my neck and it was fine – at first – but then it wasn’t. Because he squeezed harder, and harder and I begged him to stop. I begged him to stop squeezing and to get off me, I called the safe word four times before I just… Passed out. When I woke up minutes later he was still there, naked and having a drink in bed, obviously after getting his rocks off, telling me I was disobedient, and that he was teaching me a lesson. I left him the next morning.
Riley.... I’m so, so sorry. I don’t– did he try to get you back after you left him? Did you tell anyone?
rileyweber:
There’s nothing to understand. Can you just… drop me off at Cristiana’s?
...Yes. And I won’t hold you hostage or force you to tell me anything you don’t want me to know, but I want to plead my case on the way. You know I had someone before. A very important someone. It wasn’t just a claim. I loved her more than anything. I wasn’t over protective or controlling. The day all of that ended, I was called to handle a protest gone violent. My first and only arrest that day was her. I can’t help but think... maybe if I was a little more controlling, more attentive, then none of that wouldn’t have happened. I guess you’re taking the brunt of that now. Seeing you, someone I love, again, at a protest is terrifying. Knowing my sister is a submissive and a fierce, force of a woman in this political climate is terrifying. But what’s even more terrifying, is thinking that I’ve been making you feel like this since you got here. I don’t want to be a monster. Not to you. Maybe I can deal with being an ass like mom and dad if it means keeping you safe, but I can’t deal with being like someone who once made you feel like the opposite. Please, Riley... talk to me. Help me to understand so I can do better. So I can help. Please.
rileyweber:
I don’t text you because you don’t have to know where I am all the god damn time, Aidan. I want to have a life without someone having a grip on my decisions. It has nothing to do with Boston.
The texting me if you’re not coming home at night is so I know who I have to murder if you disappear, not so I can judge you or tell you that you can’t do something. Riley... please help me understand. You’re... crying. I just want you safe. That’s all. But I obviously touched something I shouldn’t have. I’ve never seen you like this before.
rileyweber:
It doesn’t matter, okay? It doesn’t matter anymore. That part of my life is over and I want to bury it in the past and never look back. Just forget about it. I’ll get in the car.
But you are looking back at it. You’re doing it right now. Every time I– ...you get like this. You not texting me so I know you’re safe... all of that is because of something that happened at school, isn’t it?
rileyweber:
You’re unbelievable.
No, you don’t get to say something like that then shut down. Is that why you’re doing this? Someone was controlling you at school? It can’t be mom and dad ‘cause there’s no way you’d put up with that long distance.
rileyweber:
You know what? Suit yourself, but learn to live with the fact that you are just like our parents. If I wanted to be controlled I would’ve stayed in Boston, where i was actually unsafe, so screw you.
I’ll deal with it if it means I won’t ever be called to arrest you. What do you mean you were unsafe in Boston?
