Title: DeadAlive Rating: G Word count: 184 Pairing: Clary/Mattes Round/Fight: 4/A Summary: Mattes hits a dead end on a case. Clary isn’t so downcast. Set in the DeadAlive universe, where Mattes and Clary are with the FBI. Based on an X-Files quote.
-
“So,” Mattes finally said, after we’d excused ourselves from James Michaels’ house. “You were right, I guess. A dead end. That guy knew nothing at all.”
Maybe I should feel triumphant. I’d been telling Mattes about the direction we should have taken for ages. I’d been telling him that Michaels was too convenient, and too far off the profile, and that if Mattes had stopped one moment to think about it, he would have realised he’d made a mistake.
I don’t feel too triumphant at all.
“The answers are out there,” I try telling him. “You just have to know where to look. If Michaels had been set-up…”
Had he? Or am I just trying to pander to Mattes’ fixation on Michaels?
Either thought is still worrying. But Mattes’ lips quirk in a small smile. “That’s why they put the ‘I’ in FBI,” he says, with a shrug.
I groan. That was old before I even graduated from Quantico. I tell him as much, but one thing about Mattes is that he bounces back quickly. There’s no keeping him down for long. Not Mattes.
