Many months ago, Hips and I made a deal. In that deal, that she willingly agreed to, Hips was required to be his jailer, and in a sense, a counselor to help Salazar redeem himself. She was an authority over him, his legal guardian; she was responsible for him, and for his actions.
You can't be someone's jailer and be their lover also. You can't be responsible for someone and fuck them at the same time. It goes against every principle of ethics ever made. Had I known their relationship had changed into that, Salazar would've been pulled from her custody (and he will be pulled from there) and placed elsewhere, and that is the right thing to do.
Hips knew all of that. I made that perfectly clear in our agreement. She knew full well what she was doing was wrong, on several levels, but she continued to do it anyway. She knew exactly what the consequences of her actions would be, she knew her life wasn't in danger from me, but did what she did anyway. And all the while, she hid behind the facade of "Oh, look at me, I'm being the responsible authority figure to help poor widdle messed up Ramon be a better person".
That is what I'm pissed off about, Derek.
Honestly, aside from the fact her fucking him is just flat out disgusting any way you slice it, Salazar is a non-entity in this equation. Going "omg Leon might shoot Salazar if he finds out they're boffing! D:" is the single most BULLSHIT excuse in the multiverse. Had it been anyone else in her custody, my reaction would still be largely the same. Salazar's presence just ups the "ugh, that's sick" factor. Not to mention her behavior also calls into question whether or not Salazar has actually been trying to redeem himself, or if he's just doing what he thinks she wants so that she'll fuck him.
I don't think I can spell out my reasoning as to Why This Is A Bad Thing any clearer than that.
And on a more personal level, I trusted her. I looked her in the eye, I shook her hand, I took her at her word, and the bitch lied to me. So I'm pissed off about that too, and frankly, I have every right to be.
Further more, as an investigator, one of the things I'm taught is "if someone lies to you about one thing, assume they're lying about everything, until the facts prove otherwise." So, yeah, she can say "I hate Saddler and I think he's a smeghead" until her lungs turn to dust, I have no reason to believe her. Hell, she can say "The sky is blue", but until I see it for myself, I still have no reason to believe her.
You can't give me a reason to trust her. There is none.
You can't give me any kind of excuse for her actions. There is none, Derek. None.
