Bad guy

Carson focuses upward as Misty approaches. Like seeing storm clouds on the horizon, he instantly knows something is wrong. His eyes drift downward to follow the picture as it lands on his desk. His veins run cold and he just stares at it. They knew. He didn't know how, but they knew.

His mind automatically sifts through the last several days, trying to pinpoint any time when he could have slipped up enough to have been found out.... He lands on one person: Wyatt.

Not even thinking about the fact that he was now under suspicion for leaking TJY information, his ears receive Misty's words, her voice pleading with him to tell her truthfully that he had not been at fault.

His first reaction is to feel the guilt...feel the shame...feel what a worthless being he really was. But almost instantly, it's overtaken by anger so it doesn't hurt so much. He's angry at TJY, he's angry at Ashlyn, he's angry at himself, and Misty was the closest target.

Carson finally raises his gaze to see her tear-filled eyes. Those eyes that had drawn him in..those eyes that had shown him a whole new world...those eyes that could stare straight through to his lying, cheating soul.

Maintaining his composure, Carson remains seated, his jaw muscles working at the thick tension in the air.

"I warned you." His response is cold, his very being fighting not to feel the guilt. "I told you not to get involved with a guy like me." He swallows hard, the raging battle inside of him intensifying beyond anything he's felt before. "I'm a bad guy, Misty, and I like a good time." The hard steel-like gaze that he'd come to TJY with seeps into his eyes, covering the warmth that Misty had drawn out of him. "You shouldn't have trusted me."


Wyatt looks at Nate, fighting with himself not to go choke the living daylights out of Carson right now. He knew Carson wouldn't run that fast, and most likely, Misty was cornering him right now. Wyatt shakes his head in sheer disgust, unable to hold back his bluntness. "Carson's been sleeping with a woman from the Agency. How's that?"
