Title Suffer the Children Author: TrueBlueStef Category: V, A Follmer POV Rating: PG for one bad word Summary: Follmer comes to a realization Spoilers: Release This is a fill-in-the-blanks after Follmer questions Rigalli in the car. ************************** The harsh sound of the car door slamming as Rigalli exits my car echoes in my ears. I look away, not wanting to watch as I let a murderer walk free. (never bothered you before) I wince as my long dormant conscience picks a hell of a time to wake up. It had been so easy to justify at the time. I'm a man who likes his creature comforts. Brooks Brothers suits and silk ties don't come cheaply. And yes, dammit, I admit it, I didn't like rattling around in a car that had probably seen action during the Carter administration. But I really wasn't doing anything that would hurt people that didn't deserve it. Yes, Rigalli was a mob thug. The people he dealt with were just as dirty as him. I mean, you only had to look at the guy he shared an apartment with, that Harvey guy, to see the level of people he associated with. A fuckin' pedophile. So, if the mob used him for retaliation purposes, to put other families out of commission, or to keep their dealers in line, what was it to me? Let 'em kill each other off, and I get rich to boot. Everybody wins, right? Right? Oh, God. The look in his eyes when he told me he had nothing to do with it. He was taunting me. So what if I did, fibbie? Whatcha gonna do about it? Nothing. The same as you've been doing all these years. He did it. He killed that little boy. (remember the hell Doggett went through? you could have prevented that) No, no I couldn't have stopped him from killing Luke. I didn't even know until now. (but if you had put him away when you should have, he would never have been free to kill the boy in the first place) No. Oh, please God, no. I may not be the best person in the world, but I would never harm a child. (but you did. what are you going to do about it?) I...I can't do anything about it now. It's been 9 years. (9 years of hell for Doggett) Shut up. SHUT UP!! Rigalli's got me by the balls. There's nothing I can do. (so, you're gonna let him get away with it. some fbi agent YOU are) I feel the flush of shame sweep through me. I reach inside my jacket and pull out my FBI ID wallet. Assistant Director Brad Follmer. The streetlight reflects off the badge. So shiny, so clean. Unlike me. I'm as dirty as they come. (whatcha gonna do, fibbie?) There's only one thing TO do. I owe you, Doggett. Big time. What's it say in the bible? An eye for an eye? An eye for an eye. -------- I am not a regular fanfic writer, but something about this episode really got me to thinking. This was done off the top of my head, no beta, so please, be gentle with the feedback. True__blue@msn.com
