Graceland + foreshadowing (season 2)

The hard part is when you whittle it down to two options: You can either wait it out, and die. Or you can take this piece of yourself, and you can– you can mutilate it, destroy it, and maybe live.

hc. Mike rarely drinks to get drunk. When he does, he becomes hypercritical and aggressive. Or he becomes flirtatious and more daring.

He hates feeling out of control like that, especially in his line of work. Worst of all, Mike fears that if he gets drunk too often, he will become dependent on it.

He can get drunk, though. It's just a rarity.

I’ve seen Briggs hold shit together plenty of times, I know how it’s done.

Mike distractedly greeted her as he hefted the heavy desk away from the wall. He planned on organising it so he could face the rest of the room as he worked. But all of his focus fell away when Emma mentioned Carmine. 

‘We get the warrant?’ Mike straightened up, wiping his sweaty palms on his pants. ‘Because I am ready.’

His chest tightened with anticipation. Not just because he would see Nigel behind bars. But because this would be his first real chance to make an arrest as an FBI agent. He didn’t care if Nigel recognised him or not. He was about to get justice for everyone who went through worse than he or Emma had. 

Emma had to step out of the house in order to compose herself before speaking to Mike. He had worked so hard to get that iPad, and all of his hard work and probably many sleepless nights were ruined now that they couldn’t use it against Carmine.

But after grabbing a brunch taco with Briggs, she was ready to spring the news to Mike. She took a deep breath and walked up the stairs, taking her sweet time in doing so before stopping just outside his door.

'Hey…’ She was surprised at how much of Donnie’s things were already packed away. She forgot how quickly he was with packing. 'You have a minute to chat…’ She swallowed. 'It’s about Carmine.’

‘Maybe you should break the news to Mikey, hm? The iPad thing will come easier from you.’ Briggs knew exactly what he was doing by making Emma deliver the message. He wouldn’t get any of the blame that way. And it would then leave Mike more open to their next plan. 

Mike ran until his chest ached, returning to Graceland with a wince in every step. He was relieved that the place was empty and immediately made a B-line to the fridge. Pouring a generous orange juice, he limped upstairs to grab a shower.

After, he started to clear Donnie’s things out of the bedroom. He had to keep himself busy until Briggs gave the go-ahead to raid the club. A part of him wanted to shoot Nigel. But the dominant part of Mike knew he needed to see him in court.

As much as he wished he could prove that these bastards were weaker than him, revenge wasn't justice.

Emma stepped slowly in time behind him, taking the file from him. She quickly opened it. Briggs was right, his file was impressive. Brought in over a thousand cases just in his first year of working with the FBI.

She glanced up at him with a smirk. 'I’m offended that you think I would suggest you play our father.’ She scoffed and went back to looking over the file.

She was quiet the whole time she flipped through it. This whole thing was extremely risky and if all went wrong, would end up with some sort of blood on either of the side’s hands.

But then she could feel the anger of everything Carmine put her through. What he put both of them through. And she knew that she would do anything to see them put away for good, no matter what.

She closed the file and held it back out to him. 'I can’t wait to see Carmine’s shocked face when little ol’ me brings him down.’ She gave him a nod. 'I’m in.’

‘This won’t be like last time, Rogue.’ Briggs squeezed her arm. ‘Carmine will come to us this time. And we’ll have the full force of the FBI to back us up.’ He cupped the side of her face, seriously concerned that Emma would flake on him. 

‘I haven’t had a chance to discuss it with the kid yet. But you’ve both got important roles to play.’ He released Emma and stepped back inside, expecting her to follow him. ‘I’ve called in a favour with an old CI. He’ll play your daddy.’ 

He glanced back at her as he entered his bedroom. ‘What? You didn’t expect me to play him? I would’ve been like, twelve and looked way different.’ 

He chuckled and offered Emma a file that contained the Criminal Informant’s profile. ‘He’s tough and will do what’s necessary if things go down. And I’ll be your bodyguard.’ Briggs knew it would be a hard sell to Emma. But he just needed to get her to think about it. 

And if she didn't, Mike could convince her.

It took a moment for Emma to fully grasp what Briggs was suggesting. And it was extremely risk and terrifying to be even considering going back to Carmine without dressed in FBI gear.

It sent a wave of terror through her and she had to dig her nails into her palm just to make sure she stayed aware that this was reality. And that reality meant that Mike needed to be involved. She had no doubt that Briggs would be the one playing their father, especially

‘Have you told Mike about this plan yet?’ She shifted her weight on her feet, tilting her head. 'He should be there too with us.’ Emma had so many questions, but she didn’t want to throw them all at him at once. 'How do we achieve bringing him in like this?’

Briggs took a deep breath and nodded, feigning disappointment. ‘Gave it to the techs at the Bureau. Turned out, they didn’t catch the failsafe in time.’ The iPad was tucked safely somewhere the others wouldn’t find it. Briggs only planned on bringing it back out if this plan screwed up. 

‘There is a way.’ He unfolded his arms and placed a hand on Emma’s shoulder. ‘Little Miss Princess ran home to tell Daddy. Now he's come to fix things. Carmine won't want a gang war.'

'We have a real shot at grabbing them all - and you get to see Carmine’s face when you take him down.’ 

Emma’s heart sank. Mike had drove himself crazy to get that iPad out with them. ‘How the hell did it break? It was fine when we got it out of there.’ She let out a heavy sigh and leaned against the balcony. Maybe that was why he wouldn’t let her jump the gun on bringing them in. Because they now need more evidence on them.

Folding her arms across her chest she looked up at him. She could feel now he was holding back.

‘But?’ She said as she raised her brows. ‘There has to be another way to bring them down.’

hc. Growing up, Mike was a momma's boy. She would teach him to dance, visit shows together and go shopping. She didn't start as an absent mother like others in their social circles. But she changed when he was about six. She hardened towards him and he spent less time with her.

Mike was twelve when he began attributing everything she said and did as malicious. His mother had become cold. She would judge him for his appearance, push him to take up more sports and generally become like the rest of his family. 

Mike realised he had lost all value to her when he became inconvenient. And when he had a breakdown from the pressure in high school, she was the first person to pretend the 'Attention' in ADHD meant 'Attention Seeker'. She was also the one who decided to hide the diagnosis.

Mike still loves her and has since tried to forgive her.
