In my dream I got arrested again. Only it wasn’t my dad they were taking away. It was you. 

... I’ll find a way to make sure that never happens.

[livquinn]

julia-cross‌:

Don’t start apologizing yet. We’ve only just started. And you’re – you’re always taking care of me. Some day we’ll have a relationship that doesn’t involve you doting at my bedside all the time. I want to go through with it. Even if I tell you later I don’t. If it starts to suck. Don’t let me change my mind. I – I need to do this, Olivia. I’m so tired of feeling like some pet the government keeps. I want it gone. 

Julia, I’m always going to take care of you. The symptoms are temporary and you’ll never have to go to a shot appointment ever again. I won’t have to sign any papers I don’t want to sign and you’ll get that part of your life back...

[livquinn]

julia-cross‌:

Yeah, Good. Does waiting up mean you’ll come lay back down?

Yeah, of course. I’m not going anywhere... I’m sorry you have to go through this. If you want to... not go through with it, let me know, okay? At any point.

[livquinn]

julia-cross‌:

Liv. Less words maybe?

Sorry, you’re right. Okay. Take two of these, one of these and... I’ll wait up with you until you can go back to sleep. Does that sound good?

[livquinn]

julia-cross‌:

Right. Withdrawal. That makes sense. And .. rules out poison. Which is good. Laying down. Come back soon. 

It says here that you can take two Tylenols every 6 hours and one Dramamine every 6 to 8 hours without exceeding 3 pills a day. Do you want the Dramamine? It’ll help you sleep too. Unless it gives you weird dreams, should you be taking that if it may give you more weird dreams?

[livquinn]

julia-cross‌:

Down’s good. I think I need to just .. lay back down. I don’t know. My head hurts. I was .. I was fine when I went to sleep.

They said the symptoms could start anywhere from 24 to 48 hours after not getting your new shot... Tylenol! I’ll get you some tylenol. Lay back down okay? I’m gonna help you get through this.

julia-cross‌:

Liv? Are you – fuck. It was a dream. You’re sure? Of course you’re sure. It was a dream. Are you – I’m sorry. Did I – I woke you up didn’t I? Why is the room so spinny?

Its okay -- I think you have a fever.  Do you want anything, need anything? Do you want some water? Do you wanna sit down?

[livquinn]

@julia-cross

Julia... Hey, hey -- its just a dream. You’re burning up and shaking. Look at me; are you okay?

[livquinn]

I live in the crossfire. That’s been my job for years. I’m not going to feel right walking out of here knowing that you expect to be attacked sometime in the future. At least… take my other phone number. Put it on speed dial. It’s a burner phone, so I’ll let you know when the number changes. Use it if you’re in immediate danger, if you need “no questions asked” aid. That’s the only way I’m leaving your office. And like I promised when you signed me onto this job… no one else will know what we talk about.

If it’ll give you peace of mind, sure. Weber... Be careful, okay? Don’t trust anyone. Especially the people you work with. I’m sure you’re aware of that by now.

[livquinn]

aidanweber‌:

Did somebody attack Julia again? Why are you being so cryptic? Is somebody trying to get to you? Olivia, I’m probably on the radar of half a dozen abusive, violent, and/or sadistic Dominants by now with all of the “investigating” I’ve been doing for you, for others, and for myself. I’m going to be in danger no matter what. I at least want to have the choice of being in the kind of danger that can save other people. If you need protection, if someone is in danger, then you need to tell me more than that so that I can help. And I’m going to be honest Olivia, you look like you need it. With all the discussions we’ve had together about your safety and this investigation, I’ve still never seen you like this. 

No, no one attacked Julia or myself, not yet. But they will, and you will get caught in the crossfire. If I could tell you without jeopardizing your safety, I would, but right now I need you to trust me -- I know we don’t always see eye-to-eye, but this is something I have to handle on my own. In its due time, you will know, and when you do we can move forward with everything we’ve been working on. I don’t need protection, what I need is for you to do as I say and don’t tell anyone about anything we’ve talked about.

aidanweber‌:

My sister? What does she have to do with any of this? What are you talking about? 

It means that people don’t come after you, they come after the people you care about. I don’t want that to happen to you too. 

[livquinn]

aidanweber‌:

With how deeply this might run into the city’s police force and your own company, this isn’t trivial at all. That’s a huge part of why I took the case. And I’d like to point out again that it was also your attempted murder. You’re in danger, Olivia, and have been since you were a child. Lately I’ve been afraid that I haven’t been figuring things out fast enough. I appreciate the concern, but don’t ask me to stop, please, because I don’t want to refuse something you ask of me.

You don’t get it. Everyone’s in danger. Even you, even your sister. I won’t have blood in my hands over a vendetta I may or may not want to pursue. You’re loyal and I can tell that you value loyalty above everything else, but if I’m going to offer you the same sentiment in return, I can’t put you in the line of fire when I know it will only end fatally.

aidanweber‌:

I won’t take up much of your time. I have a lead…. Olivia. Any paper trail is nonexistent. We’re dealing with someone who might’ve done this before, or knows people who have. Hell, I might even be working in the same precinct as their connections. It’s getting technical. But my contact who helped me with those calls from Q-Tech before might be able to trace them more accurately if I can convince a legend of a hacker I’ve worked with before to get in contact with him. I’m going to have to pull some major favors, but I’m getting close. We’re getting close to knowing who was responsible for your parents’ death. And… your attempted murder. 

Aidan... Listen to me very carefully okay? You need to stop looking into this. Not right now. There are things that have happened that I can’t quite understand or explain to you at the moment, but leave the case, let it go cold. With everything that’s been going on, my parents’ murder seems really trivial. The money is yours regardless. I’m far more concerned about what might happen to you if you keep digging.

@livquinn​

Hope I’m not interrupting anything, Miss Quinn. And I hope you’re in the mood for some coffee from across the street. 

Half an hour... I need to be home by five.

[livquinn]

julia-cross‌:

I’m not. But I think if you could always look at me and see that, I might be able to try. 

You don’t have to try something you’ve already accomplished. I love you, remember? Till the end of the line.

[livquinn]

julia-cross‌:

It’s exciting. Every time I think about it I suddenly feel a little higher. Just the thought of not … feeling like the government’s house pet is nice. It’s freeing and I can – I can finally know what all the fuss is about, and be with you in the way you were made to have someone be with you. It’s a lot. Like big stuff. Real stuff. It feels weird to be on the outside all the time. Now I won’t have to be.

You are... an angel. We’ll do it, as soon as possible. We’re gonna get you off the shot and after the ugly part is over, that entire world is your oyster.

[livquinn]

julia-cross‌:

Don’t get cocky. We can’t do anything yet. 

Anything is a very limited concept, but either way -- I’ve never seen you so... giddy before. I like it.
