“She can stay. I want a witness when I beat your ass bloody for this bullshit.”
He waved his casted arm around like that was going to be the weapon in question.
Gabe opened his mouth, but Gene was off to the races.
“Imagine taking two good agents and tossing them to the wolves out of fucking boredom. Imagine risking the safety and well-being of the citizens we protect because someone has some spare time in his day! Someone needs to get a fucking hobby—or a wife. Something!”
Elizabeth clued him in.
“He has one. Kids, too.”
Gabe gasped.
He kept his personal life out of work for good reason, and Elizabeth knew why. His wife had beenHERpartner and his subordinate at the FBI.
“LARUE!”Gabe warned.
Only, this was the wrong pony to bet on in this kind of a fight. She was anti-establishment. Anti-boss. Oh, and hell, most of the time, anti-Gabe.
She just shrugged.
“What? I’m just an observer,” she stated, more than happy to be there.
A part of her felt bad for the agent. Gene was a friend, and one of the good agents this agency had.
If Gabe was fucking with him…
Well, she’d help him out.
After all, Gene slipped her information on the DL, and she did the same for him.
Gabe only fucked around with the agents he thought had the most talent. If he was up in Gene and his partner’s business, he was focused because they were good at what they did.
It was sick how Gabe thought, but he gave the good agents more of his attention and let the bad agents burn out.
Only, this wasn’t the time to tell Gene that.
He.
Was.
Pissed.
So, observing this, so he had a witness, was the least she could do.
Besides, she’d been on the receiving end of Gabe’s meddling. If she had a dollar for every time he tried to get up in her business with Chris, she’d be rich.
Okay, maybe not Christopher Leonard rich, but rich enough to keep herself in leather boots.
Gabe focused on the man and had no choice but to do this with an audience. Elizabeth would bust his balls if he even tried to make a stand.
“He broke the rules on his case, and this is the outcome when agents go rogue.”
ROGUE?
ROGUE?
Was he literally ignoring the fact that Ethan shot a dirty agent who was the epitome of the wordROGUE?
