“Oh.” Roxanne wasn’t looking to report anything to him, she just wanted to know if he was finished with the almost empty glasses that were cluttering the table. “I just wanted to know if you were done with these, that’s all?” She gestured to the glasses. “Figured I’d tidy as I go around.” She let out a soft chuckle.

Glancing up, Felix realized he’d jumped the gun a little. She wasn’t here to bother him with reports, she was here to collect the empty water glasses he’d been draining to keep himself from ordering anything stronger. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to jump on your ass for doing your job.”

Alright. you can have your lame-ass water and I’ll know you really just don’t care about me,” Ariadne joked.

“Aw, c’mon. I still care about you. I can prove it in other ways,” Felix wriggled his brows suggestively, flashing a grin and hoping to leave the subject of alcohol behind.

“Rookies are no fun, they give in way to easily and its usually information I already have. Please? I can’t help you’re a great source even if you are sober? Which by the way, what the hell? You totally ghosted Ari. Rude.” Mellie stated with her hands on her hips annoyed with the man but always needing his help. a very fine line to be on. 

"Yeah, there’s a reason nobody higher ranked than a rookie will tell you anything you don’t already know. Nobody’s looking to lose their badge, Mel. I’m definitely not.” He huffed at the mention of Ari, shrugging a shoulder. “Chatting up the girl you used to shoot up with while you’re working on getting sober isn’t as productive as it sounds. I’m making it up to her now.” Now that his sobriety was no longer a fragile thing, he was pretty sure he could talk to Ari without risking it.

“It’s honestly too early to even think,” Roman groaned, trying to answer his cell phone with his hangover. Sure, it was in the middle of the evening, he had been up for the past two hours, but damn — it was too early. 

The person calling hung up without saying anything, leaving the man in a state of irritation.

“Yeah, you look like shit,” Felix nodded, raising a brow at the man. How many times had he looked like that? Back when he’d been either drunk or high pretty much constantly, he’d seen this kind of thing in the mirror fairly often.

melliethorn‌:

“Oh c’mon, you’re going to make me pay? Drinks usually do the trick?” She quested with hopeful eyes. “I won’t name my source, pinkie promise. Just one quick blurb and you can have a nice cold beer.” 

“Hate to tell you this, Mel, but I’m sober now. You can’t tempt me with drinks anymore.” It wasn’t entirely true, of course. The only thing that tempted Felix more than drinks were the drugs he’d made himself leave behind alongside them, but not like this. A friendly offer from someone trying to charm him into giving them a story wasn’t something that threatened his sobriety. “Come by the station. Maybe you’ll have better luck trying that one on the rookies. I bet you can get one of the new kids with a couple bats of those lashes.”

“You’re acting like waking up three days from now wouldn’t be fun,” Ariadne laughed. “C’mon. We need to celebrate both not being abducted by aliens or by god or whatever. You can just have a sip. You know I don’t like partying alone.”

“Not as fun when you’ve got a badge to worry about losing,” Felix pointed out. “I can’t really afford to slip right now, Ari.” He offered her a smile, hoping the conversation would just go away. “It doesn’t work like that for me. I can’t just have a sip. Look, I can come over and we can hang out. You drink the booze, I’ll drink water or something. We can still have fun.”

ariadnedavis‌:

“I didn’t realize you weren’t fun anymore. what happened to the old Felix, who wouldn’t let me drink alone? it’s just liquor, Fee.”

“C’mon,  Ari, it’s not like that. I’m still plenty of fun, just without the booze or the other stuff.” Alcohol had never been his go-to, but it was a slippery slope. “For you it’s just liquor. For me, it’s waking up three days from now on a dock in the next town over.” Or killing a criminal informant to hide his habits from his boss.

melliethorn‌:

“Now where’s the fun in that? Come on, Fe. I just need a quick quote on the recent spike in violent crime and I’ll be out of your hair.” 

“Are you paying for the quote, Mellie?” He raised a brow, though he knew his smirk gave him away. “C’mon, you know the boss’ll be on my ass for talking to reporters in general, worse if it’s off the clock.”

“You know, you owe me a big explanation,” Ariadne said, slightly scolding him with her tone. She wasn’t good at being too serious, though. “I’ve been great. I mean, it kinda sucks what all happened — but yeah. we need to catch up, just like the good old days. I got a handle of somethin’ at home, I’m sure.”

“I know, I know,” Felix laughed, holding his hands up in surrender. He’d left a lot of his life behind after the Departure, abandoned big parts of it in getting sober.  It was unfortunate, but it was how things went. “Yeah, sucks is one word for it, huh?” He shifted at the mention of catching up, shaking his head slightly when she brought up having a handle of something. “Oh, I, uh… I’m actually sober now. Did the whole 12-step thing.”

[felixsmartinez]

“I’m not on the clock,” Felix muttered, leaning back on the bench and crossing his arms over his chest. “If you’ve got something to report, find someone who is.”

[felixsmartinez]

ariadnedavis‌:

“I thought you were one of those raptured people, man! I’m fuckin’ excited about this!” she leaned in to give a hug, missing her old friend.

It had been years since she last saw Felix, right back to the days before the Departure. 

“Anybody took me, they’d probably give me back,” Felix joked, though he couldn’t help but shift uncomfortably at the mention of the Departure. He didn’t like talking about it. It only ever reminded him of what he’d done. Smiling as the moment passed, he leaned into the hug. “Gotta say, I missed you, Ari. How’ve you been?”

ariadnedavis‌:

“No shit, Felix?”

“Ariadne Davis? Holy shit, it’s been a while!”

› [ RYAN GUZMAN / CISMALE ] ┊ FELIX MARTINEZ ― This 28-year old DETECTIVE DID NOT lose someone to The Sudden Departure. He’s lived in this town for TEN years and IS NOT a risk of the Guilty Remnant.

tw: murder

Growing up, Felix was always told he was smart. He did extraordinarily well on standardized tests, and subjects that were difficult for his classmates came naturally to him. His family doted on him for his intellect, but Felix often felt that the pressure was too much. After high school, he went to college because it was expected of him, but dropped out before finishing. He moved to Ashgrove without telling his family where he’d gone and found a new passion in the form of law enforcement.

After making his way through the police academy with ease, Felix’s intelligence allowed him to rise through the ranks of the local police department without putting much effort forth. He made detective just three years after joining the police force, far sooner than most. He found he was especially successful in undercover work due to his willingness to do anything to maintain a cover.

Eventually, this willingness to go the extra mile got Felix into trouble when he shot up to convince the leader of a small-time drug cartel that he was trustworthy. Felix dismantled the cartel, but he found he liked the feeling the drugs provided him. He quickly grew addicted to the high. When a criminal informant learned of his habit, he threatened to tell  Felix’s bosses. Felix didn’t mean to shoot the man, but he died all the same. Hours later, the Departure happened, and Felix covered up his crime by telling everyone he’d witnessed his CI depart. Everyone believed him without question.
