Merrick the Art Thief

“I’ll call you tomorrow. Tell Grant I’m okay for me, I need to go.”


“I’ll be okay. I just want to sleep. I took a potion and it’s knocking me out.”


To have been such a good liar before…


Merrick closed his eyes during the silence that followed and lasted a heartbeat too long. He just had to tell Wyatt he was afraid to stay, but too scared to leave. Just tell him.


“I will. Bye.” He ended the call. How could he say goodbye to the people he cared about the most? He’d just have to leave, because the FBI knew where he was. For tonight, he was safe, but that wasn’t going to last for long.


It was what he should do, it just didn’t need to hurt so much.
