"Leo, my father wants you to fail. He stole your project."He grasped her hand and patted it again. He looked surprised at the information when in fact he had known all along."What do you mean baby?"Mage began to pout. "Promise you won't be mad at me, Leo. I didn't want to hurt you. I swear I only did these things because he threatened to hurt you and Carter."Leo nodded, pulling her into a semi-hug. Running his hand over her hair, he consoled her."I know none of this is your fault, babe. Tell me everything. Start from the beginning. I won't hold anything against you. I said I would protect you."In a way, he meant that. If she was truely being manipulated by her father, he would help her. But if she helped him willingly, to tear down everything Leo had worked for, he would send her to prison right alongside Mr. Shoten.Mage nodded, beginning the story of her father's plan to take Pinnacle Electronics from Leo Shin. Her hand shivered in Leo's as she tried to keep from breaking dow
KK slipped the headphones off of his ears and walked out the front door. Everything, he heard tonight, would put Shoten, and possibly Mage, in jail for a long time. He knew Leo wanted to end this battle and continue on with his project.This project was very important to Leo. The Rapture was a computer system that would revolutionize the way social intercation online would evolve. It had features built in that would give the user the ability to have three transparent OLED screens expanded on one system and interface using the largest CPU available for work and or gaming.Standing outside, he thought about the things Mage had mentioned. She had said her father had things stored on his computer at home. He needed to find a way to hack in and get the information for Leo. There was no legal way to do this though. Having broken into the lawyer's computer had been enough breaking the law for him.His first thought was to somehow break into Shoten's home and get the information, but that was
Sitting in the back seat, Leo started thinking about Kaden. His thoughts drifted to the shower and the faces KK made while pleasuring himself. He couldn't wait for everything to calm down so he could spend time with the private detective. He smiled to himself, ran his hand down his rising member trying to calm it down. Closing his eyes, he drifted to sleep thinking of the man he had fallen completely for. KK drove around in a few circles to ensure the car was actually following him. So far, they kept their distance, but it was obvious they were stalking him. Arriving at his office, he raced upstairs, locking the door behind him. Taking some paper, he painted the image of the car with his mind. Better safe than sorry, if anything happened to him, there would be a record. The image of the car, license plate, and driver formed across the paper. Flipping it over, he wrote the time and date and what was happening. He laid the photo in an envelope with Flynn's name on it. Walking aroun
The upside-down Audi smashed against the pavement in front of an oncoming garbage truck. KK turned his head, looking across the passenger seat, in time to see the smoke from the brakes of the truck as it attempted to stop before striking him. He braced for impact, not feeling the injuries he had already suffered. The truck managed to stop enough, barely tapping the side of the crushed Audi and spinning it around in the center of the roadway. KK vomited from the dizzying sensation and the pain he was beginning to feel. As he hung upside down in the car, it came to a stop on its roof. He chuckled to himself as the first thing he thought of was Leo. It was a shame he would never get to see him again. He thought of Leo's scent and closed his eyes as the pain began to overtake his thoughts of the man he could have fallen in love with. Hot liquid drifted down into his face from his torso. He felt dizzy still, maybe it was because he was hanging upside d
Leo ran into the hospital and headed to the emergency room. Teams of doctors and nurses were dashing around. Apparently, KK wasn't the only one having a bad day. Leo darted around, searching for the bed Kaden was in. He began to panic when he couldn't find him. He ran up two flights of stairs to the inpatient floor and spotted Flynn and Carter sitting together on a bench near the operating arena. Carter noticed Leo first and jumped up to stop him from barging into the OR. Flynn made himself a barricade as well. "Leo, slow down." Leo stopped, staring at the closed doors and the sign lit up red above. A tear formed in his eye and he slowly looked to the two men standing next to him. He noticed the look of worry on their faces and the tears began to slip down his tired face. Carter couldn't take it. His boss was tough, not one to cry...ever. He wrapped his arms around his boss without thinking and held him as the sobs increased. He swallowed back his own tears, holding onto the no-
A/N ;P (I wonder what this note could mean....this chapter will be a bit 'longer' than usual) >;P Flynn and Carter arrived at KK's PI office and noticed the door wide open. Pushing Carter behind him, Flynn pulled a pistol from under his shirt and aimed it towards the entrance of the room. Carter looked behind them, his hand holding the tail of Flynn's shirt. He wasn't cut out for this crap and what was happening terrified him. If it wasn't for Flynn, he would be cowering in a corner someplace. Flynn tapped the door open with his foot, stepping inside cautiously. He surveyed the room, taking note of the open window and the scattered files and papers on the floor. Seeing the room empty of people, he turned and flipped the light on. Carter closed the door behind them and stepped farther into the room. Carter sighed and started gathering the papers and files on the floor. He saw the phone smashed on the floor and had a momentary thought. 'Didn't the nurse give Leo a phone?' He look
At the hospital, Leo sat next to KK in the ICU. He looked at the tubes and machinery hooked up to the private detective. He thrust his head in his hands in anguish. He began talking but KK wasn't awake to hear him. "Kaden, why did you leave the house? You were safe there. I'm sorry you had to hear all the things I said to Mage. I didn't mean a word of it..." He sighed heavily, reaching for the younger man's hand. Caressing the back with his thumb, he continued. "Wake up, will ya? I need to talk to you. I..." He choked back the lump in his throat and wiped a tear as it slipped down his worried, exhausted face. "I need you to get better. I need..." The door opened and a doctor entered. Leo stood waiting for the results and condition of his beloved. His eyes wide, the doctor could see the pain on his face. He smiled reassuredly as he walked towards the patient. "I heard from the nurse, this is your boyfriend?" Leo nodded, looking at the still body of Kaden. The doctor smiled eve
Mr. Shoten sat in a room surrounded by members of the Board of Directors. They were there to discuss the Rapture project and it's implimentation. A secretary wandered into the room and stood beside the older man. She leaned down, whispering in his ear.A smile as wide as the Grand Canyon spread across his face as he nodded and looked to the BOD members. He stood, straightening his suit, puffing out his chest like a proud peacock."We have good news. Mr. Shin will be taking a break from work for the unforseable future. I wonder what could be so important that he would abandon his own company without anyone in charge."The men in the room began to chuckle, the visions of extra money in their pockets making them extremely excited. Mr. Shoten smirked evily as he glanced to a few key members of the BOD and winked. His plotting had gone his way for once.The room continued talking about the news for a while behind closed doors.Mage has no clue what has happened between her father and Leo.
The sexual tension in the room was evident to the two men entering. They looked at each other , smirking as they walked farther into the room. Leo stepped back from the bed, his face turning a strange shade of pink.Carter was intrigued at this change in his boss. Leo's volatile temper made him hard to get along with. He didn't have many friends and always tried to make people fear him. It was Leo's way of maintaining control when people were trying to ruin his life.Kaden looked up at Flynn and Carter as they walked in. He immedietely noticed they were holding hands and smiled inwardly. He was really happy for them. He glanced at Leo, chewing on the inside of his lip. Could he be in love?Flynn looked serious as he sat down on a couch across the room. Carter shifted to KK's side, pulling his blanket up; his motherly side was showing. He checked, making sure the injured man was comfy, then went to sit down by his lover. They had serious things to discuss with Leo and KK.Leo arched a
