Summary(/excerpt):
“Did they send you in here because you’re the only one on the team I don’t know well enough to read, or because you’re the only one on the team whose judgement isn’t clouded?”
“Maybe it’s a little bit of both,” Kate concedes. “Is there someone else you’d rather talk to?”
Allison’s smile is a fleeting, sinuous thing, nothing like the wan smile in photos from five years ago, even less like the bright, wide grin in photos from ten. She looks at the mirror when she answers, “No, but tell them I’d like to say hi. For old time’s sake.”
---
Her name isn't Allison; this is not the first time she's changed her identity. She was supposed to die; instead she ran into a familiar face. She's not sorry about what happened after that.
She probably should be, but she's not.
Author's Notes:
No beta; holler if you see mistakes.
This basically came about because I was trying to figure out just how many pairings I ship in this fandom. Turns out: a TON. So many that I had to make a diagram. The little bubbles for Haley and Elle somehow ended up near each other and I said to myself, "OH HEY...wait, how would that WORK."
"Haley survives Foyet alone and runs into Elle and they become mission-oriented serial killers" was the answer I came up with. It's super grim, I know. I'm not entirely sure why this felt so satisfying to write, but I suppose watching ten seasons of a show about serial killers in about a month is bound to affect one's muse somewhat.
