Virgil hesitantly stepped forward, “S-Sir?”

"Can it wait? I have a meeting in two minutes." Roman asked.

Roman nodded. "Alright. I'll be out in about an hour." And with that, he turned and went inside.

The leader came up behind Virgil and grabbed his arm. He dragged him into the shadows and hissed, “What the heck are you doing?!” He slammed Virgil into a wall. Virgil trembled, “I can’t do this anymore...” he mumbled. The leader snarled. “You fool, you have no choice.” He slammed his elbow into Virgil’s jaw.

{{So is this after Virgil manipulated Roman into letting the original leader go?}
That was when Roman found out why he was called in. "You're fired." "What?! Why?!" Roman blinked at the commissioner.

( sure ) Virgil stumbled back, trembling violently. The leader slammed his fist into Virgil’s jaw.

"It's simple. You aren't fit for the job. You let a criminal back onto the streets, you abuse your power..." The commissioner listed off all of Roman's past mistakes.
"I beg to differ, sir. The point of being a cop is learning from past mistakes." Roman said, standing up.
"...Alright, you can keep the title of detective. That is the only reason I called you here." The commissioner dismissed Roman.

Virgil slammed into the wall with a yelp of agony. “You will do what I tell you, fool. You will continue to manipulate that detective!”

Roman walked out the door and glanced around. When he spotted Virgil, he sprinted over, trying to pull the gang leader off of Virgil.

The leader smirked, glaring at Virgil. “Sorry, sir. He was trying to manipulate you.” The leader said. Virgil curled into a ball, trembling violently.

"And why exactly should I believe you?" Roman asked, raising an eyebrow.

“He told me. He said he was ‘befriending a sappy cop’.” The leader smirked, “I was just punishing him for what he did.” Virgil trembled violently, keeping his gaze on the ground.

Roman blinked before crouching to be at eye level with Virgil. "Is it true....?" he asked quietly.

Virgil recoiled away from Roman, terror in his eyes. He gave a weak nod, “T-That’s wh-what I wanted t-t-to tell y-y-you.” He choked on a sob.

The leader smirked, dragging Virgil to his feet by his collar. “I’m going to make sure you suffer.” He hissed. Virgil hung his head, looking like a beaten pup.

Roman pretended he wasn't affected until he got home. As soon as he had retreated to his room, he broke down.

Virgil was dragged to the gang house and beaten by the leader. Later, he was thrown out. Virgil stumbled into an alleyway, trembling violently and curling into a ball.

The next day Roman stayed in his room, texting the boss saying he was sick.

Virgil stumbled through the streets. He left a note in Roman’s mailbox. It was splashed with blood and dirt, but it was pretty much an intense apology and explanation.

Roman eventually left his house ad got the mail, reading the note before tearing it in half and throwing it away to fly in the wind. He watched it float before heading back inside.
