Meredith Grey: Entering the dimly lit warehouse, fists clenched You think you can hide, huh? Time’s up, pal.
My God, Meredith. It's been years. I told you already I'm done with all that long ago.
Meredith Grey: laughs bitterly Oh, "years," huh? You think three fucking years just disappears into thin air? You're still on the run, Dunrossil, and I won't rest until you're six feet under.
That's fine, but I have nothing to do with that life anymore. Can't you see? I'm living my life.
narrows her eyes Living your life? You think you can just walk away from everything you've done? From the lives you've ruined?
I haven't "ruined" anyone's life. I was protecting myself and others from those who wish us harm.
throws a punch at Dunrossil, hitting him square in the jaw Protecting yourself and others? Bullshit!
He stumbles back, clutching his jaw Fuck, Meredith, you pack a punch. But you always did.
smirks You think that's all I've got? You're in for a rude awakening, Dunrossil. This time, I won't hold back.
he laughs slightly You never did learn how to shut up. I miss the old you. Just a little though.
throws a series of rapid punches, hitting Dunrossil in the stomach, chest, and face Shut up, you bastard! You don't deserve my mercy anymore!
Damn, you still haven't changed. He staggers back, but remains standing You always did love fighting me more than listening.
grabs Dunrossil by the collar and slams him against the wall Listen, you selfish son of a bitch! People are still searching for you, and they deserve to know the truth!
And what exactly is the truth? That I'm some kind of monster?
leans in close, her voice dripping with venom The truth is that you're a fucking nightmare that won't stop haunting.
We all have our demons, Meredith. Why are you hunting me, but not others like me?
gritting her teeth Because you crossed a line, Dunrossil. You took lives without a second thought, and that's something I can't forgive.
And you are okay with taking lives? Look, I stopped doing that years ago. Lives were taken for me, and I got tired of seeing that. I stopped it myself. I'm sorry it took so long to reach you.
releases her grip on Dunrossil's collar Fine, if you want to play the "I'm sorry" game, then let's play.
I'm not playing games. I'm being honest with you.
narrows her eyes Honest, huh? Well, we'll see about that. You better start talking, Dunrossil. Give me the goddamn truth, and maybe I'll consider letting you go.
Fine. I'll tell you. I was working for a government contractor. They wanted people taken out. I didn't always agree, but when I did, I was their guy.
As Meredith listens to Dunrossil's confession, a sense of relief washes over her. She realizes that the man she once saw as a monster was just a pawn in a larger game.
So, now that you know the truth, what's next for you and me?
pauses for a moment, contemplating Next? Well, Dunrossil, next we make things right.
Nah, I ain't about turning you in. We're gonna take those government contractors down together. You're going to help me expose their dirty secrets.
Alright, Dunrossil. Welcome to the team. First order of business, we need to gather evidence.
pulls out a notebook and pen We start by gathering information. We need to find out who these government contractors are, what they're involved in, and every dirtiest secret they've got.
smirks We start by digging deep, Dunrossil. We'll sift through public records, hack into their databases, and talk to anyone who might have inside information.
Alright. Let's get started.
opens her laptop and starts typing furiously Alright, Dunrossil. We're going to start by researching those government contractors.
