Chapter 7

CHAPTER 7

"WTF!" Jace yelled in shock startling the man who quickly sprang up from the dead body and quickly shot at them causing them to dive aside and hide behind tables as Xander cussed horribly at Jace’s antics.

"Congratulations Jace. You just alerted the man who has a gun to kill us faster." Xander yelled as the bullet hit the cover in front of him nearly missing him. He purposely refer him as his name because calling XD would make his identity known by an unknown intruder.

"Oh please, I was surprised. Kill me already, will ya?" Jace yelled from where he was hiding too.

"Can we talk about this....when we are not BEING SHOT TO DEATH.” Xander shouted as Jace searches his shoes and saw a dagger and brought it out.

"I'm thinking of something. Where is your gun, you are supposed to be my bodyguard." He said as Xander ducked from the new torrents of bullets.

"Umm, I left it in the car. Didn't want to scare the new guy Flynn." He yelled as Jace got pissed off. He was angry that Xander was thinking about Flynn and fell very jealous. He felt like throttling his best friend and the only way to do that was kill that asshole who was shooting at them. If his timing was right, this was the perfect time to stand up.

"Hey asshole" Jace called as he stood up from his cover and the Gunner turned to face him and shoot but found out he has run out of bullets.

"You are all out. My turn now." He said as he threw the knife at him and it went into his left ribs as Jace jumped and kicked the gun out of his hand while Xander came out of hiding with his own gun and shot point blank at his forehead as he fell down flat on the ground dead.

"And that's how you kill someone." Xander said as he blew the mouthhole of the gun and placed it back in his jeans.

"You know I am the reason you even had a shot of killing him in the first place." Jace said as Xander rolled his eyes. For once couldn't his boss stop seeing action as a competition. “And didn’t you say you forgot your gun?” Jace added, realizing he had kill the man with a gun.

“I was joking,” Xander responded plainly with his shoulder making a shrug.

"I think we should find out the reason why he was ransacking here." Xander notified, turning away from Jace.

"You should have talked about that before killing the only lead that we have.” Jace said as they walked closer. They knew better than to touch anything to complicate the evidence because the police were going to be here and consider it a crime scene.

"What do you think he was looking for?" He said as they walked around while Xander shrugged.

"Maybe the doctor was someone in disguise or something. Anything is possible." Xander replied picking up something and quickly stuffed it in his pocket.

"Let's just call the police. And be ready to put up a good act. You are the scared boyfriend." Jace said as he dialed 911.

******

"Could you tell us what happened?" The cop said as he brought out his note and faced Xander who seemed like he had been crying hard.

"Oh It was horrible. Shooting everywhere and he just killed himself like that. He said we weren't supposed to see his face and took his life in front of us. I don't think I can ever forget this." Xander said as he burst out fake crying as Jace wrapped his hands around Xander and consoled him.

"Oh honey, stop crying. I know It was horrible but the man killed someone. You got to feel nothing but anger for him. He deserves it." Jace said as the cop nodded his head staring at the two hot men seated and being inquired in front of him. The cop was a bit in shock, because in front of him is known CEO of J’s Empire, calling a guy honey. He didn’t know he was gay and that awed me a big.

"Listen to your boyfriend, okay. It is okay, I am sorry you were traumatized. It's such a pity a vibrant doctor have to die." The cop said trying to sound cooperate while shaking his head as the paramedics just rushed them to the morgue. How ironic?

"If you do recall anything, he say before killing himself, this is my number, call me. Any information is useful." The cop said to them as he handed Jace his card who took it and said

"We will call you once we recall something. Thank you." Jace said as he led weeping Xander out of the doctor's office and walked into the next corridor as Xander quickly wiped his face.

"I can't believe you made me act like that. This will traumatized me for the rest of my life."

"Come on, the act suits you. You look like a girl with that voice. I could see the cop totally checking you out and I bet he gave you his number so he could hit you up later. So will you give him a call?" Jace said wiggling his brows as Xander rolled his eyes.

"Yeah right. As if you didn’t just come out to the world you’re gay true this. Man you do forget sometimes you’re Jace Norman.”

“Do you think maybe the guy we saved had something to do with this. After all the doctor that does coincidentally happened to be Flynn's doctor." Xander spoke up, turning the situation serious.

"That is weirdly specific. I mean we did come to see the doctor to see if Flynn could be discharged. Do you think they are more than one assassin loose here. And one went for Flynn and the other was tying up loose ends and wasn't expecting us?" Jace said as a worried Expression filled his face.

"Could be.....let's head to his room." Xander said as they both ran to the elevator and punched the button heading to his floor. It was killing waiting for the door to slid open before they burst out of there, almost hitting some nurses as they reached Flynn's room and opened the door.

They ran inside and saw that the bed has been usurped but there was no Flynn. Neither was there any blood.

"Flynn?" Jace said as he entered the bathroom but it was empty too.

"Xander, he is not there. Do you think he was kidnapped?" Jace said as he met Xander back in the room who took his hand on his head.

“I don't know, maybe. And there's no clue. How are we going to find him?" He answered as Jace held Xander by his shoulders and shook him hard saying.

"I don't care if we send the whole cartel into the street, I am not stopping till we find him back and alive." He said.

"Find who?" A voice said startling them from behind as they turned and saw Flynn standing behind them holding Jell-O.

"You are alive?" Jace asked in shock as he went and hugged Flynn who was confused about what was happening as his Jell-O fell to the ground.

"Yeah, that is kinda the reason I am here after all. What is going on here?" He said as Jace let go of him.

"Your doctor is dead. He died few minutes ago. We thought that the person who killed your doctor were looking for you ok. We need to leave, here isn't safe anymore." He said as he pulled a confused Flynn into the room and shut the door as Xander brought out some clothes from the bag that was behind the door and stretched them to Flynn.

"Change into this and come meet us here. We are waiting." He said as Flynn held the clothes.

"Wait, I don't understand. Why would I be targeted . And who wants me dead? I want myself dead and why are you two trying so god damn hard to save my life. I don't even know you two and yet you treat me like some prized possession. Also how do I know that you two are not just playing a prank on me and wants to kill me instead.” Flynn ran his out squinting at the both men. Funny he hasn’t know the man in front of him is Jace Norman. Though Flynn has never been the one into the world deeply, rather he loves getting involved in mission and cop-related thingies.

"If we really wanted to kill you, we would have done that from the start we met you. We don't want to see you die when you can have a beautiful life ahead of you and no you can't believe us if we are lying or telling the truth. You can only trust us. Do you trust me?” Jace asked after his speech, as he placed his hand on his shoulders and looked deep into his chestnut eyes as Flynn looked back and shrugged.

"Do I even have a choice?" He asked as Xander shrugged looking at them both.

"No you don't. I suggest you go get changed now." He said as Flynn nodded his head and walked into the bathroom bolting the door behind him as Jace paced the room.

"You need to calm down Jace. You may be over reacting. Maybe the doctor's death and Flynn isn't even connected in the remote way and we are just panicking for no reason at all.” He said trying to make his boss feel better.

"Well better safe than sorry, am I right? you know he has to move in with me now and stay in my house where I can get radars on him 24/7. I don't feel safe dropping him in a safe house. Besides my mansion is impenetrable. I would know if someone wants to invade.” He replied as Xander just smiled.

"I sure hope he won't be sharing the same room with you too. I can see you are getting attached. You do know we know nothing about him and we have to consider the fact also that he may be plotting this from the onset. Maybe he is trying to get on your good side because he has every reason to believe that you are XD." Xander said as Jace just brushed it aside.

"That's bullshit. I always keep my identity a secret. I feel he is a good person." He responded as Flynn walked out wearing an ash top with joggers and white sneakers.

"Well...what do you think?" He asked Jace who kept on blinking at him.

He had never seen him in those wears before and it really brought out his lean physique out, the uniqueness in it.

"You look nice. Let's go." He said as Xander picked up their stuff and they headed out of the door.

"I will take care of his discharge papers. You take him to the car. Make sure no one sees him." Jace ordered as they separated ways.

"Now can you tell me what is going on?" Flynn said to Xander as they walked out of the hospital and reached the Lamborghini that was parked privately.

"What do you mean? We just told you that your doctor died and you might be in danger too. What more reason could there possibly be?" He told me as Flynn shrugged.

"I don't know. You tell me. I saw you have been pursuing your lips, ever since you two got to my room. There is something that you are not saying to your boss. So tell me." Flynn said as Xander opened the back door.

“Get in the car." Xander ordered instead.

"I am not entering till you tell me what I want to know." Flynn deadpanned crossing his hand together as Xander sighed.

"Look, I don't know who you are but I want to let you know that although Jace believes people and trusts easily, I don't do the same. I have my suspicions about you and I won't rest till I satisfy them. So for your sake, I sure hope you are not a double agent of any kind or working undercover as a cop because I will put you down myself and bury you 6 feet under.

“And who is this Jace guy that needs your suspicions this hard on me.” Flynn uttered in total naivety.

“You don’t know Jace Norman?” Xander questioned with in an awed voice, Flynn responded with a negative nod.

“You don’t know the CEO of J’s Empire.” Xander gave more details. “I still feel like you’re full of lies, so better stay clean or I will clean you off if you try to betray his trust. My eyes are on you.” Xander threatened the more.

"It's glad to know that we share the same thoughts. I still don't trust you two, neither would I get my guard down." He said as he entered the car and Xander closed the door before entering in the passenger seat and closing it too.

There was tension between them as they both kept quiet not saying anything to each other.

Five minutes later, Jace opened the car and got in the driver seat as he said,

"We are done here. Got the discharge papers." He said handing it to Xander who glanced through it and nodded before putting it in the car safe.

"Well then, let's go." He added as he switched on the ignition and the car roared before they drove away.
