Chapter Text
“So. This is goodbye then?” James asked you as you picked up the last of your things from the work station.
“Yeah.” You shoved more of your things into your backpack. Readying to leave the Seattle base of Dedsec for the last time.
“So, if I didn’t give you the information in this envelope you would stay?”
Slumping your arms, a sigh escaped you. You had made the mistake of sleeping with James, on more than one occasion. Knowing that it was a bad idea, that it shouldn’t have happened but he was nice, and sometimes you got lonely. “James,” you said softly as if scolding a child.
“I know,” he said quickly cutting you off. “You go where you need to. But can’t blame me for trying. You really helped save us in a time where we needed you the most.”
Nodding you smiled as you reached out for the envelope he had in his outstretched hand to you. “It’s what I do.”
“Well, your plane leaves in two hours, so get going.”
“Plane?”
Tearing the envelope in a fevered craze, James continued. “Yup, you’re going home.”
You pulled out two slips. One that gave the information on how to find the Dedsec group in San Francisco, another was a plane ticket to San Francisco.
“Shut the fuck up.” you whispered to yourself as you stared at the destination, SFO. He was at home. You were one step closer to finding him.
“Hope you find him.” James says as he leaves you to finish gathering your things. “I also wired you some money to help you set up a place to stay while you’re there.”
“Thanks!” you shout over your shoulder as you shove all your things into your backpack not caring if they broke or not. This was it, you were finally going to find him. After everything, you just wanted to know that he was alive, it didn’t matter if he wouldn’t want you in his life. You just wanted to make sure that he was alive and doing well, and not dead because of your mistake.
Without any further hesitation, you headed outside into the Seattle rain, and hailed a cab. You could buy new clothes once you got to San Francisco. Right now you had a lead to chase.
