It took 3 days to process the visa for Franklyn. In these three days, he accompanied his team to investigate. Other than that man's name, right now they had no other leads. They came to a dead end since they couldn't find the man named Silas. Right now, Franklyn was in front of the airport beside Adler who was looking neutral. He couldn't question him since Adler was his superior. Though the feelings were involved, he kept it under wraps and was professional. “Do I really have to accompany you?” Franklyn asked for the nth time making Adler huff in annoyance. Franklyn shut his mouth as soon as Adler's face changed. After checking in, they walked inside the airplane. After a few hours of travel, they reached their destination. Someone was already waiting for them to escort them. The one who was waiting for them bowed respectfully seeing Adler. “Good evening, Prince Caspian...” The man appeared to be more than just a bodyguard, with a strong and imposing presence. He had a tal
Adler stepped into the study room, the scent of booze and the variety of cigars. He glanced at Arthur, who stood there, his gaze fixed on the books on the table. Adler's eyes betrayed a sense of urgency as he approached Arthur."You were drowning yourself in booze, Wow you surprised me, Arthur," Adler began, his voice tinged with hidden rage, “It's just... Whenever I'm alone,”Arthur's words were cut off by Adler who held no emotion on his face, "Whatever, did you catch those bastards? Where are they?" Arthur turned to face Adler, his face a mask of respect. "Yes, sir," he replied, his voice low and steady. "We've secured them in their base. They won't be causing any more trouble."Adler nodded, but a furrow deepened on his brow as he considered the next course of action. "I think it's time I paid them a visit," he declared, his jaw set with irritation.Arthur's eyes widened in surprise, and he took a step closer to Adler, concern etched across his features. "Sir, I must advise again
"You don't have to cook for three, he slept already. Maybe he will wake up only tomorrow morning," Adler uttered, a bitter smile forming on Arthur's lips who hummed in response. After a small dinner, Both males went to the room to sleep. Adler slipped inside the sheets, pulling the younger by the waist, snaking him between the hands, and burying his face in the younger's neck. It felt nice for him, the unfamiliar warmness, moreover the presence of someone beside him, no more the felt loneliness. "Good night, Bun." He pecked Franklyn's hair before slipping into a deep slumber while Franklyn was wriggling in his sleep. The very next day, Arthur and Adler gathered in the hall, getting ready to go out to the base. Arthur shot Adler a quizzical look, silently asking to confirm about Franklyn coming to the base as the younger came to the hall, All prepared. "He is coming," His crude voice was expected though, yet the little squeeze in Arthur's heart was unexpected. He didn't like this an
Adler wrapped his arms around Franklyn, leading him away from the room. The muffled screams of the hostages echoed in the hall, sending shivers down Franklyn's spine. "It's okay, Franklyn. You're safe now," Adler murmured, his voice a soothing hum in the tense atmosphere. But little did he know his presence was also intimidating the younger. Adler never stopped his comforting words. Whispering soothing words, Adler made his way out of the base with Franklyn.They stepped out into the cool air, surrounded by lush greenery. Franklyn's breath came out in shallow gasps, the fresh air a welcome relief from the suffocating stench of blood and fear. He leaned against a tree, trying to steady his trembling legs, still having a shock playing over his heart. "I can still hear them. The screams... they won't stop," Franklyn whispered, his voice strained with emotion. Choking now and then, he couldn't form a word at all.Adler cupped Franklyn's face in his hands, his gaze filled with tenderness
"Any lead, so far," Braylon asked, taking a look at the files of similar cases. They had no clues right now and their Junior was gone with their so-called chief. The remaining investigation was halted by the lack of clues. "We are trying to track down the people who were with Stiles, And We keeping an eye on the Anderson couple, Mrs Anderson is trying to contact someone so far," The junior detective spoke, Flipping through the pages of the file. "Trying to reach someone, You should've informed me of it first, God damn it." Braylon got up, taking his coat in his hand. "As far as we know, she didn't meet any. That's why?" He hung his head down, Voice dropped. "What happened?" Sipping the coffee, Eryx entered the cabin, Sensing the trouble in that. "We got a thing to deal with. Let's go." Braylon grabbed the latter's hand, dragging him out of the cabin in a rush."Hey, My coffee." Eryx groaned, anyway following his love, abandoning his coffee there."Can you please explain what the he
"Why are you here? Just go away, I'm not in the mood to deal with you." Arthur turned his face away seeing Franklyn in his room. He hated Franklyn's presence the most if you say so. With no words, Franklyn approached the elder. Kneeling beside Arthur, Franklyn started to treat Arthur's wound which was caused by Adler. When the reality hits, Arthur jolted up from his place, soon his hand finding Franklyn's neck. "Dare to touch me, you little piece of shit." Arthur's words were rude but were not rude enough to hurt Franklyn. "You are hurt... Lemme help you to apply some ointment or else you will have inflammation. This isn't good for your health." Franklyn tried so hard to be tough. He, himself, only knew how scared he was right now. "I don't need your concern," Arthur yanked the younger and Franklyn landed on the floor with a loud yelp of pain. Once again Arthur lay on the bed trying to ignore the little creature present in his room. Once again the stinging pain was caused by anti
Franklyn and Arthur clicked the glasses and stared down at the busy roads humming with the horns of vehicles. They were both a few drinks deep, their inhibitions melting away with each sip. Franklyn couldn't help but notice the softened expression on Arthur's face as he recounted a story from his past."So, when did you realize you were head over heels for Chief?" Franklyn asked, his words slightly slurred from the alcohol.Arthur chuckled, a warm glow of nostalgia washing over him when he remembered the days. "Oh, it was back in our days being rebels. He was just so cool, you know? Like, effortlessly cool. And he had this magnetic charm that drew everyone to him."Franklyn nodded, leaning in closer to catch every word. He found himself fascinated by Arthur's genuine admiration for Adler. To be honest, each word of Arthur was true, how could Adler influence someone, Effortlessly?"And he was, like, the ultimate dream boy," Arthur continued, an admiration in his voice. "I mean, he was
The doctor came out of the ICU, and a deep sigh left his mouth. Eryx rushed there, heart palpitating each second. "Is he okay? How is he doing? Was the wound deep?" "Calm down Mister, He is doing fine, we get rid of the bullet, and he will wake up soon." Patting the latter with an assurance, the Doctor walked away from him. Eryx slumped his shoulder, Tears gushed out of his eyes freely. He hadn't reached the precinct yet to hand over the abducted girl, No one knew where they were. Backup police might be looking for them in the forest. Nothing reached his mind since Braylon was hanging between the life and death thread.When the hem of the shirt tucked down, he wiped his tears and looked down. The little girl was afraid and trembling. "Uncle, when will we go home?" She sobbed. Eryx took the girl in his arms, wiping her tears gently. "We will go home soon. Hmm!" He forced a faint smile, The girl hugged the elder tightly, nodding in his embrace."Julie" Mrs Anderson stomped inside the
