“You should've seen him with the crime scene photos,” Scott says with slight repulsion. “He was foaming at the mouth.”
“If you’re trying to convince me he’s fit for fieldwork, you’re not doing a good job.” Corey snorts.
“I’m not trying to convince you, I’m trying to recruit you.”
Corey halts for a moment, looking at the agent with both eyebrows raised high. “No.”
“C’mon, I-”
“No,” Corey repeats, continuing on his way to his next class. “I know Liam, it would be a breach of-”
“Exactly, you know him. You know he’s going to need someone to… to ground him. To keep him from…”
“Going crazy?” Corey finishes for him. “Again?”
“I don’t think it’s the clinical term for it.”
Corey sighs in exasperation at Scott giving him a Psych 101 class. He’s his criminology expert whenever the Behavioral Unit needs someone to testify in court. Corey knows that “crazy” isn’t a diagnosis but… Liam is a special case. There’s no right label for what he is.
“Listen, I have a… tentative friendship with Liam. I’m not going to blow that because you think you’re going to break him. You want my help? Here’s my advice: don’t put him out there.”
“Does he even see Mason anymore?”
Corey’s hand tightens around his suitcase and he bites his tongue before he answers.
“Mason wasn't Liam's fault.”
“Is that what Mason told you to say? Or is it what you really think?” The question ticks off Corey the wrong way despite the softness of Scott’s words, the genuine curiosity.
It doesn’t matter, it still feels like a bitch slap.
“I'll give you the number of a colleague who’ll be able to handle Liam. He's well-regarded. You'll like him. Liam… not so much,” Corey says before quickly walking away from Scott and the pesky conversation.
