Hey everyone! I know you guys are getting slightly frustrated because of the lack of Joshaya. But I promise, it's coming soon! I just want the story to play out well. Anyways, enjoy!
______________________________________________________________________________________________
It was about half an hour later when Josh came out of the waiting room and over towards where Farkle and Zay were standing. Zay had finished up with the anthrax and came up to sit with them. Lucas had gone home as soon as he came up.
"Any news?" Josh asked. Zay shook his head.
"Nothing from the doctors. Mia said she was going up to the front desk to see if she could get anything from the nurses." Zay said. Josh sighed.
He had tried so hard to keep faith and hope that Maya would make it out of this. He wanted so badly to run into the surgical room and stay by her side through this whole thing, demand that the doctors tell him what was going on. But he knew that causing a scene wasn't going to do anything for Maya. And he had a whole team to lead.
He knew that she would tell him to do his job first and deal with her second. But that really wasn't what he wanted to do at the moment. It's times like these where he wished that anyone else was team leader right now.
But Maya was in surgery, and the doctors were doing everything that they could to make sure she survived this. So really there wasn't anything Josh could do but wait to hear how everything went after the surgery was done. But... there was one man who was responsible for all of this. One man who was the reason Maya was in surgery in the first place.
Ever since Josh had seen everything he had done to her. After he saw how badly she had been beaten and how he had handled her. It took everything he could not to run after David and kill him then and there. But he had to respect that this was Maya's case. And after everything David had done, if there was anyone that deserved to take him down, it was her.
Of course, he didn't like how she went about it. And he knew that as her team leader, he would have to take action against her for the poor decisions she made today. But as her hopefully soon to be boyfriend again, there was nothing on his mind more than taking care of the situation at hand.
"I need to head back to headquarters. I have some unfinished business to take care of." Josh said. "Let's go, Farkle."
"Actually-" Farkle spoke as he stood up and looked at Josh. "-I would really like to be the one here when Maya wakes up." He told him. "She's my best friend and my partner. I- it would mean a lot to me."
"Of course." Josh answered immediately. Farkle and Maya were so close. They had known each other longer than anyone else on the team. For one of them to see the other one like this- it had to be a lot. "Zay, you come with me then."
Zay nodded and got up. He patted Farkle on the shoulder. Farkle sat down and grabbed Smackles hand for comfort as she took the seat beside him.
"Farkle-" Josh said. Farkle looked up at him. "Call me-"
"The moment she wakes up." Farkle finished for him. "I promise." Josh nodded at him before he and Zay walked out the doors of the hospital, Josh giving Zay the keys to the car as he couldn't drive for the rest of the night.

David had been moved to one of the interrogation rooms per Josh's request. He had been stuck at headquarters all day as other agents had been trying to get information out of him since he had been arrested. But of course, he didn't say a thing.
Josh felt like he had invented a new definition of the word angry. He was practically shaking as Zay parked the car and he walked into headquarters without as much as a 'hello' to anyone he came across.
Josh stopped for just a moment outside of the interrogation room. He looked into the two way glass at the solemn looking man on the other side sitting in the chair inside the room. Josh had to physically make himself calm down as he took a shaky breath and tightened his fists.
Zay walked up beside Josh and stood there. Josh grabbed his gun and handed it to Zay to take. Zay grabbed it without a word, and Josh moved to the door and made his way inside. Zay took a deep breath as he placed Josh's gun in the waistband of his jeans on the opposite side of where his was. He stared on as what would most likely end up in a very ugly altercation.
David looked up at the door as he heard it open. He raised an eyebrow as Josh stared him down before going over and taking a seat on the opposite end of the table.
"Let me guess," David started. "You're in here to tell me all about how I lost and you found all the bombs with the anthrax. How I'm going to jail for the rest of my miserable life and how if it were up to you, you'd put me in the death chair." He announced, almost mockingly with a smirk on his face.
Josh didn't respond. He just kept staring at him with a blank expression on his face. He sat back in his chair with a closed fist on the table.
"Oh I know. You're here to get revenge over that agent or yours." His tone suddenly wasn't so mocking anymore, nor did he have a smirk on his face. "You're angry because I beat the hell out of her. Made her feel like the worthless piece of trash she is."
Josh did not seem to find this conversation in the least bit interesting. He kept his face neutral, with a blank expression as he continued to stare on as David talked. This shocked Zay, as he was ready to go in at any moment to pull Josh off of David.
"You people think you're so clever. Putting someone like her in my life to deceive me. Hoping that I would fall so in love with her that I would tell her everything in my devious plan. She deserved what she got. My only regret was not killing her when I had the chance." David spat out bitterly.
Silence greeted them as they both stared each other down. David had a look of pure hate on his face. Josh stared at him with his unblinking expression before he finally leaned up in his chair. He rested his elbows on the table and leaned closer towards David. Never breaking eye contact.
"I'm going to be there at every single one of your appeals. I will make sure that if you don't get the death penalty, you'll never see the light of day again. And this just isn't for Maya, this is for Carry, and my team as well. You lost today because you were out smarted by one of your own men. And you took the cowards way out in killing him and your nephew." Josh stated.
His tone was barely above a whisper, but so tense and stern that he got his point across just fine. The corners of David's mouth almost came up into an amused smile.
"I thought you people weren't supposed to take these kinds of cases personally." David said, again mockingly.
"Agent Hunter is on my team. That made it personal for me. Agent Carrie Martinez was on her team before that and you killed her. Which made it personal for Agent Hunter." Josh listed off.
"Cry me a river." David said bitterly. Josh just continued to stare at him with a blank expression. "You know, it really is a shame. Agent Hunter truly was a beauty. You don't know how much I loved being with her when it counted. The way she smelt, the way she felt, the way she tastes..."
Zay sucked in a breath as he placed his hand on the doorknob of the interrogation room. He fully expected for Josh to lunge at him right there. But to his surprise, and slightly to David's. Josh didn't do anything. Instead he shook his head at the man in front of him.
"I'm not stupid." Josh said. "I know exactly what you're doing. You want me to get mad so that I'll punch you and you can proclaim police brutality and cut a deal with the DA. Sue the FBI and then cost me my job at the same time. But I'm not playing your games."
"Oh is that right." David said.
"I don't pretend to act like I don't want to put your head through one of these walls and beat your ass into the ground. Not only did you try to kill one of my agents and then put a hit out for my team, you tried to take out half the city starting with a hospital." Josh growled.
"A hospital, huh?" David asked. "Simon sure out did himself then." He stated with a smirk.
"Indeed." Josh spat out. "But don't misunderstand me. I'm sure Agent Hunter is going to want to see you after she gets done doing what she's doing at the moment." Josh decided not to tell him she was currently in the hospital in surgery. He wouldn't give him that satisfaction. "And she's going to want to testify against you in court. And I'll be watching you closely. Because if I even seen you look at her in a certain way, I'm not against taking a gun to you and proclaiming self defense."
"Is that a threat, Agent Matthews?" David asked in mock surprise, with a smirk on his face. Josh's gaze was stern.
"No. That's a promise."
Josh got up from his chair and walked out the door. Zay tried to act calm on the other end, as if he hadn't been anxiously waiting for a moment to step in. Josh held out his hand and Zay gave him his gun. Without even a word, Josh holstered it and started out into the main hall of headquarters.
Zay calmed himself down for a moment before he heard a loud bang in the hallway and a female sheik. Zay ran out only to see one of the receptionists holding a hand to her chest as she watched Josh continue to walk away.
Zay looked over and his breath hitched. In the wall was a good size hole from where Josh's fist had just been...
