KK followed Flynn into the gym as Carter struggled to get Leo from the car. The arm sling kept Leo from being able to move around quickly and thus chaos usually ensued.
"Leo, stop. You're tangled in the seatbelt."
Leo stood still while Carter untangled him and then dashes after KK, who is already inside the gym. Carter took a deep sigh, shaking his head. He had never seen his boss so whipped. He chuckled, closing the car door and following the threesome inside.
Flynn handed KK a pair of gloves, leading him into the ring. Leo stood close by, nervous for KK. He didn't want to see that face bruised, he liked his face the way it was. The only other person Leo had ever been so protective over was Carter.
6 years ago, Leo had been out with clients near the local college. He walked around a corner and saw a gang of kids attempting to rape another boy. Leo grew furious and launched an attack on the gang members.
He wound up with a buste
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
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.
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
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
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-
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
