Summary: A fill from the prompt, Hughes - Midnight Meeting from be_a_rebel. Some betrayals can never be forgiven
______________________
Reese Hughes has a career most FBI agents envy. Nearly forty years in the Bureau, he has the respect of everyone - including the Director. There was a rumor floating around that he was even considered for the AD's position in DC when the administration changed, but he asked to have his name taken from consideration. No one could confirm or deny this - at least no one who would gossip about it.
Peter Burke knew the truth - he knew about the terrible mistake Hughes had made with his teenage daughter two decades ago. It started out as an object lesson and ended with a brutalized young woman who hasn't spoken to her own father in nearly twenty years.
As Reese explained to Peter late one night over whiskey from a bottle he kept hidden in his desk, he didn't care what the deep background check would uncover. As the downtown church bells tolled twelve, Hughes said it was the very fact that he failed someone who should have been able to rely on him without question that made him completely unworthy.
