Jake turned just in time to see Cassius lunge at him.
He didn't have time to react as Cassius' hand closed around his thr
Cassius was sat on the couch looking impatient when Jake and Izzie finally made an appearance.It had taken most of the makeup she had and a lot of elbow grease, but the bruise was finally covered.She'd even finished it off with a hell of a lot of setting spray, very aware that Jake would not be able to have a quick touch up while working.Jake glared at Cassius as soon as his eyes fell on him.Cassius quickly returned the favour, baring his fangs at Jake."Boys," Izzie intervene
Much to their dismay, the club was pretty quiet when they arrived. It was never a good idea to try to take down a target when this empty, you were too visible."Shit," Jake breathed, taking in the near barren nightclub before him."Did they know how empty it was when they called you?" Izzie whispered to Jake, feeling like this was a bit of a wasted trip."Clearly not," he grumbled, as he began leading the trio away from the day and towards the bar.Cassius clung to Izzie side like the left half of him was attached to her. It was uncomfortable to
"Isabelle, darling," the one known as Paloma greeted her with a toothy smile, rising from her seat.The other two stayed seated, eyeing her with predatory gazes masked by false smiles.
Unfortunately, they weren't alone when they got in there. Izzie inwardly cursed at the two drunken females stood by the sinks. The short brunette was crying, most likely over some insignificant male that she felt she needed, and the tall blonde was giving her the worst pep talk Izzie had ever heard.
Jake was already firing up the Van Helsing DVD when she stepped back into the small living area. The guy couldn’t resist, and she loved him for it sometimes. It was now 11:00 am and neither of them had slept.
‘Tap. Tap. Tap.’The politest of knocks came at the door. Izzie and Jake frowned at one another. It had been an awkward few days since that strange conversation. Neither had really talked to the other properly, even though they shared the same small living space. Right now, however, it seemed they were in silent agreement that it was even stranger to have someone knocking at the door at six in the morning; especially with them being in the sla
I wonder what big things are planned,” Jake mused while he idly rolled a stray drawing pin around on the coffee table. The two of them had showered and dressed since his father’s unexpected appearance. Jake had seemed a little down since the visit, which wasn’t surprising given that his father had pretty much paid him no mind other than a brief scolding. Izzie on the other hand now felt like she was being crushed by the weight of the world.“I don’t know,” she muttered, as she tried to busy herself by making dinner for the two of them, “What was in the envelope?” she changed the subject.“Another assignment,” he sighed
The warehouse was quiet as she crouched down behind a pallet full of cement-mix bags. She had managed to find a way in through a rotten looking hole in the wall, that looked like it had been caused by storm damage. It hadn't quite been big enough and she had scraped a long line of skin off of her shoulder where she had caught it on a piece of protruding splintered wall panel. There was also a very strong possibility that said piece of panel had a few rusty nails sticking out of it, so a tetanus shot might be in order after this assignment was complete.After a quick evaluation of her injuries, she concluded that it was just a scratch and there was nothing more she could do right now, but was hi
