The Blacklist

Chapter 75 The Final Disposition of Tom

Seeing that Tom was cooperating, Kerry nodded at him and said, "You said you fell in love with Liz, but have you ever thought that once 'Berlin' starts to act, Liz will be implicated and will also be in danger?"

"Of course I thought of it." Tom said, "So I have been delaying giving 'Berlin' accurate information and making preparations in secret, planning to take Liz away from here before the operation begins, to a place where she cannot be found by Reddington and 'Berlin'..."

"Oh! You really think you are Romeo!" Carrie sneered, "Let's not talk about whether you will be found after you leave here. Do you think Liz will leave with you?"

Tom shook his head dejectedly and said, "This is why I haven't taken any action yet!"

Carrie stood up, paced back and forth, and said, "What's your real name... Never mind, I'll just call you Tom! What do you think I should do with you? Originally, since you were so cooperative, I should have let you go, but I was worried that once you left, you would report to Berlin or hurt Liz..."

"No, I won't," Tom denied hastily.

Carrie ignored him and continued to talk to herself: "In fact, the best way is to shoot you to death, and then find a place to bury you, just like you did to Julianne... Oh, how about burying you in Julianne's pit? Didn't she want to seduce you before? How about letting her get what she wants after death?"

Tom's face turned very ugly, and his heart was filled with fear of Carrie in front of him. He was not only afraid of death, but also afraid that the other party knew everything. It seemed that he had no secrets in front of her.

Kerry stopped, looked back at Tom, nodded and said, "What's wrong, Tom? You're not talking. Does that mean you agree?"

"Agent Carrey, let me go. I can be of use to you." Tom said solemnly, "I can monitor Berlin's actions for you and protect Liz's safety."

Kerry looked into his eyes seriously and said, "The first reason is still reliable, but forget about the second one! I think Liz shouldn't and is unwilling to accept a fake relationship and marriage."

Tom remained silent when he heard this.

"Well, since you once made Liz happy, I'll give you a chance." Carrie took out a syringe and injected the blue potion into Tom's shoulder, saying, "This is a relatively rare poison. I won't tell you the name. It will take effect in 24 hours and you will die miserably!

"Within 24 hours, you must kill the supervisor Craig and erase all traces of his and your existence. If you can do this successfully, you can find the antidote in your safe house at 1896 Meijing Street, and then you can take everything you need and leave here... Um, make sure Reddington and 'Berlin'... Oh, and that 'Major' will never find you again."

Tom breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this was the best outcome for him, but he still asked, "What will Liz do?"

"My colleagues and I will protect her, and apply for the annulment of your marriage..." Carrie said, "You can go with peace of mind. She will go through the next few days of sadness, but her life will eventually return to normal. Remember, don't show up next to her again."

Although Carrie's voice was calm, Tom knew clearly what she meant - if he showed up again, he would die!

When Carrie returned home, Gina and Elizabeth had already arrived. The two girls, who couldn't cook, packed a lot of food and brought it back.

While eating, Elizabeth suddenly asked, "How is he?" Although she hadn't asked before, she knew in her heart that since Reddington asked Carrie to be a witness and told her about Tom, he would not let him go! In the past few days, she has thought it through very clearly. This kind of false love and marriage is not what she wants. Although she feels bad, it is better to end it as soon as possible. "Do you really want to know?" Carrie said while chewing steak.

"Yes." Elizabeth said, "Don't worry, Richard, I'm mentally prepared!" In her opinion, the biggest possibility was that Tom had been executed by Reddington.

Sure enough, she heard Carrie say, "Reddington wanted to kill him, but... I didn't agree!"

When she heard the first half of the sentence, she felt her heart tighten, but the second half made him angry and annoyed, and he said angrily: "Tell me quickly, what happened?" Gina next to her couldn't help laughing!
"In the end... forget it, just watch it yourself!" Carrie said, taking out a laptop from his side, opening it, finding a video, and clicking play - it was the interrogation video of Tom that he had not long ago.

Elizabeth and Gina stopped eating and immediately took the notebook and started reading...

Twenty minutes later, the two finished watching the video. Carrie had already finished his meal and went to the study. Elizabeth ran to the study and said to him, "Thank you, Lee, for not killing him... Oh, I want to know, if he completes the task you assigned, will you give him the antidote?" She had actually met Craig once, at her wedding with Tom. At that time, his identity was Tom's brother, but he turned out to be his "guardian."

"Of course." Carrie said, "My goal is to make this 'pretender' disappear from your life. I don't want to kill him, otherwise he would have died long ago!"

"Did you discover his problem a long time ago, just like Reddington knew he had a problem from the beginning?" Elizabeth said, with an inexplicable emotion in her voice.

Kerry looked her in the eyes and said, "Liz, yes, we do that, but do you know why?"

Elizabeth met his gaze for a long while before nodding and saying, "Yes, I know, you are afraid of hurting me... Lee, can you tell me why you are so nice to me?"

At this point, Carrie was stunned and could only stutter: "Well...you are my partner! Of course I have to be nice to you..."

"Puchi!" Elizabeth was amused by his appearance. She thought she had gotten the answer and was very satisfied with her "surprise attack". However, she deliberately changed the subject and asked, "What about Reddington? Why is he so nice to me?"

Kerry knew that he had been tricked by this girl, and while reminding himself to be careful, he asked, "Then what do you think is the reason?"

"I suspect Reddington is my father." Elizabeth said shockingly.

After a moment's pause, Kerry said, "That makes sense, but I'm not sure!"
