PROTECTING HIM

last update Huling Na-update: 2025-08-05 21:11:01

“Captain Stone, I assume you have news.”

I had been looking at the spot where we busted Jesse Harding, a few hours ago, there had been nothing but fizz and gaps in my thoughts the second I pulled off the hoodie from the back of his head.

I spotted him first and now that I think about it, he turned around and winked at me, his teeth glistening in the dark, and he ran. The run must have been fun for him, he never gave it his all.

If he was serious about running, would I have been able to catch him?

A shiver runs through my body upon the realization, he wanted to get caught. Why?

“If you would help us answer a few questions, then we will have news.”

The short man stared at me through beady eyes, I keep the eye contact, my training come back to me easily now that I am away from Jesse.

“You apprehended the thief.”

“A suspect.”

Funny how I am quick to defend him from the very name I called him myself.

The prime minister looks me up and down. I was told he carried out an extensive resear

  • The chaos of him   PERVERT

    I jump away from his touch.My body retaliates, there’s nothing it wants more than to be held by him like that, while he uttered such complete nonsense to me. “Who said anything about being yours?”“I did, I just said it.”Moving even further away from him, he takes another step closer to me, cornering me. If anyone was watching, it would be difficult to know who the criminal was. “You planned this whole thing. You never answered my question about the people with nerves enough to throw tear gas into a police station.” He rolls his eyes,“A pet guard…”“That’s not what I am talking about about right now!” Even as I raise my voice, it’s shaky. I realize I have no weapon on me, and I am stuck with a suspect that ran away. But I went to the academy, I would best him in hand to hand combat. “They are a few people to know, they just want their pound of flesh.”What?!“They came for you? You said I was safer with you.”He gives me a loop sided grin, my stomach does a small jump at the

  • The chaos of him   SHAME

    “What? How?”He had casually shrugged of the cuffs like he was slipping off bracelets, not hand cuffs which I was certain was locked. Dragging my eyes to his, ignoring the burning sensation from his arm around my waist.“Come on Golden boy, you must have known at some point that I was never stuck here with you, you have always been stuck here with me.” What? What did that mean? His words land but none of them make sense, it’s all background noise for me, how did I miss it? Could he always take them off? Did I not lock them? “You could… but you didn’t…”“You must have suspected right, Captain?”The way he says the word Captain, I am certain he is mocking me, but it only cements the embarrassment I feel at the moment. If he could easily slip out of the cuffs, he could disappear any moment if he really wanted to. “You didn’t think, I would need my hands freed when I did this?”His hands wrap around my privates, making me jump away from him, his hand juts out and catches me immediat

  • The chaos of him   GOLDEN BOY

    I should be doing something else. Eating the sandwiches Joseph brought, anything was better than staring right at them, or pretending I am not watching them. When I brought their sandwiches to them earlier, Kelly had been sitting opposite him, legs crossed, eyes staring right at Jesse, silent, just watching his prey. “Golden boy, are you going to let him look at me like that? Do something will you?”For the first time since his arrest, he seemed out of control, spooked even, he kept glancing nervously at the man sitting in front of him, he even tugged on the sleeves of my shirt, pleading. His unease soothe a part of me.Since then, Kelly has been taking small deliberate bites out of his sandwich, keeping his eyes pinned on Jesse. Jesse on the other hand, has been unable to eat. Maybe Kelly’s plan is to creep him out so hard the words tumble out of him, that is a much better option than beating it out of him. “Aren’t you going to ask me a question?” he finally asks with a huff.

  • The chaos of him   NOT SPECIAL

    ‘New plan.” I announce, walking briskly into the office, Kelly hot on my tail.“Golden boy is back!”There’s a little fluttery motion in my chest at his excitement, it sounds genuine, but for all I knew it was all part of his act, like getting in here was yesterday. “Great, so now you talk.” Mave murmurs. cradling his fist as he walks out of the holding.My eyes immediately find the screen door, behind it, Jesse’s face is still scattered with small cuts, nothing I hadn’t seen before. He has that smile on his face, he isn’t in pain then. Clearing my throat and looking away briskly.“Golden boy, does your new plan involve food? Since no one is willing to ask, I might talk if you feed me.” None of us are baited by his words, at least not outwardly, but i take the suggestion, after all, I just put a target on all our heads. The team gathers at Jake’s table, the one furthest away from the holding, while the holding was never sound proofed since we never thought we would need it, if w

  • The chaos of him   STUBBORN

    “And the storage where it was kept? There must have been some footage.”“Unfortunately, no. The storage had a black out for a few minutes, and after the lights came back on, the item was no where to be found.” It was carefully planned then, Kelly was right, he had longer to plan this than we ever did, if we had the slightest chance of winning, it was over the moment we made the arrest yesterday. “Word on the street is, the prime minister isn’t the only one looking for this item.” Joseph says, dragging our attention to him. The side of his mouth is dusted with chocolate from his doughnut, I keep my eyes on his to avoid the wiping it. This is his turf, getting ‘word on the street’. And they were always correct, they just came with doughnuts on the side, lots and lots of them. “We know that because we have one person vying for it, Jesse.”The sound of his name makes my stomach constrict, a weird, nameless sensation I have never felt before. “Yes, but he isn’t our only opponent.”J
