Hello~ (Butcher Wally x Reader)

Chapter 6

He turns around and sees Ester giving him a cold expression.

"Please keep your hands to yourself Mister Monchez."

After he composes himself from the original shock he turns to your assistant forgetting about you.

"Miss Crawford! You are the exact person I was looking for!"

His smile returns. He reaches out and takes both of her hands in his.

She flinches the clipboard sitting awkwardly in her hand.

She looks like she doesn't know what to do. Her usually composed calm exterior cracked a little.

Daniel stared into her eyes intently, not noticing you make your way from behind your desk.

You stand to the side of them. You suddenly grip both of their hands, surprising the man.

He pulled his gaze away from your assistant to you.

You pull their hands apart with startling strength.

"I'd appreciate it if you don't touch my assistant."

His eyes narrow, he glares at you.

He opens his mouth to speak but then his phone rings from his back pocket.

He pulls it out and lets out a grumble.

"I must be going"

He then adds "but I will be back."

After he leaves slamming the door behind him. You let out a sigh of relief. You notice Esters relaxe a bit.

You turn to her. "What do you think he wanted?"

Ester paused, staring at the ground. "I.. don't really know.." Ester mumbled.

Ester let out a surprised yelp when you suddenly pull her into a tight hug.

It was rare that you ever hugged or touched someone.

After a long moment your assistant slowly relaxes in your arms. It was a bit awkward though since she was taller than you but you didn't care.

You eventually pull away.

"Thank you." She says in a smaller voice.

"Anytime." You try to muster a smile.

...

A few months pass. Daniel did keep his word and he came back.

Wally Darling's behavior was starting to get worse and worse. It wouldn't stop no matter how many times you tried to or redirect it.

It didn't help either that you got more assignments and it was getting hard to handle everything. And it didn't help that this blocked number kept trying to reach you no matter how many times you blocked them. They always were able to get around it.

You had eventually stopped seeing Wally, the higher ups let you.

A few more had weeks passed since you stopped being his therapist and things started to move a bit more smoothly but it was still rough. You were sleeping less and less and didn't eat too often and mostly just lived off coffee which worried your assistant when she noticed.

But you did get to hang out with your best friend which was good.

...

You were sitting at your desk in session with one of your most emotional clients when Ester came up to your desk holding out their phone for you to see.

You look at them slightly confused, they never interrupted you in session for anything unless it was important.

You turn off your camera and mic, the client didn't seem to notice as they ranted on about their ex.

You notice the slight panic and worry etched on their face.

You bring your gaze to the phone screen.

It was a news headline.

When you see what was on it your eyes widen and your heart starts to race. If you had anything in your hands it would've dropped.

It read, 'SERIAL KILLER PSYCH WARD PATIENT ESCAPES, PLEASE LET THE POLICE KNOW IF YOU SEE THIS MAN!!!'

'NAME: WALY DARLING, 6'4, BLUE HAIR AND SHARP TEETH. AGAIN IF YOU SEE THIS MAN CALL THE POLICE OR SOMEONE KNOW.' And just below showed a picture of him.

Your stomach dropped. 

It was his mugshot.

Almost all color drained from your face, you felt sick.
