Apparently I reached the word limit. Oh dear :-| She wasnt meant to have a name. It was just going to be smoothskin as it's from Charons view but it got a big awkward referring to she all the time and ironically the captcha for that chapter was Janet, so that worked.
If you asked Charon a year ago if he had a heart he would have said no, but that day he was pretty sure it broke. There was nothing like seeing the person you love break down and you can't do anything about it. There was nothing like knowing you had let them down. "That contact is to protect me, he is part of me, do something!" "I can't." The sheer look of disappointment that followed and the hollow stare she gave him afterwards when they fought Enclave really did break his heart.
He was pretty sure he was fired. He panicked in his head the entire way and in the citadel. He watched her intensely. She hadn't cried yet. She simply nodded at everyone that spoke. She nodded at the scribe who told her about the terminal then left to read the information it had. When she sat down she stopped attempted to read until loud gasp from her and tears began to fall. She hitched and grabbed at her chest. "Get out." Charon growled to the scribes in the room. All left without a word. She reached for Charon and he scooped her off the chair and sat on the floor with her. Him against the wall, her against his chest. She banged her fists against him in sheet frustration and continued to sob. A scribe approached her asking if she was okay and Charon replied on his behalf by simply cocking his gun. If there was one thing he was good at it was keeping people away.
