Table 7, #11 - Time and Again
How many times had he been there, in this same position, questioning a suspect, listening to the excuses, the lies, the pleas of innocence or understanding - the horror of confession, of justification?
Heero pushed away from the table, and growling to Williams that he’d be back, he left the interrogation room, leaning against the door a moment before heading off to the head. Relieving himself had been an excuse, his own way of regaining control, of remembering why he continued doing what he did, why he wasn’t the one back in that ten by ten box being questioned.
Once upon a time, he had been no different in what he did than those he helped track down and put away; he had killed, had been a murderer, had his reasons - justifiable as part of war, to keep secrets, to bring peace, he still had taken lives.
Washing his hands, he avoided the mirror for he’d seen his reflection too many times in the eyes of those he interrogated.
