The Unwanted Encounter (Ash Lynx x Reader)

6) Griffin

"It's hard to explain y/n, it's better if i show you"

"Sure, if it makes it easier for you, fine by me"

"We're leaving in 30, wear something that would cover you up"

"Ay-Aye captain" You said.

Ash rolled his eyes while eating the egg you almost burned and your legendary coffee of course.

You wore a black hoodie and pulled it over your head wearing your signature baggy jeans and some old Fila shoes. You tucked your Beretta Px4 Storm in your waistband. It was a simple self defence gun and got the job done. You didn't really have a favourite gun, as long as it got the job done you were content with it.

While you were leaving your apartment with the blonde, you still had a question lingering in the back of your mind. You couldn't keep it in anymore and hesitated to ask but you still did it anyways since you're a straightforward person.

"Ash"

"Hmm?"

"Yesterday, why didn't you shoot them down immediately. I noticed you had your gun tucked in your waistband so why didn't you protect yourself, especially since you got really good aim"

"I didn't want to scare you, that's why"

"Oh"

"Come in" The blonde said after he lead you to an apartment. When you walked in you saw a man in a wheelchair facing the blank wall and a black kid with a really cute afro.

"Skip, wake up"

"You're here boss, i heard people were chasing after you yesterday" Said a kid who was rubbing his eyes while getting up from the bed.

"Tsk, it was Arthur and his men"

The boy then looked at you and walked towards you.
"Hi, im Skip!"

"I'm y/n" you said while extending your hand so you could shake it with his in awe.

"You can go home now Skip, thank you for looking after him" The blonde said while handing money over to the kid.

"Thanks!" He said walking over the door.

"Bye Ash, bye y/n"

"See ya" Said the blonde while you waved at him as he waved back.

After the kid left, you took a closer look to the man who was sitting in the weel chair. As you walked towards him you froze in place staring at the brunette sitting in the wheelchair.

"Y/n, you ok?" Asked the blonde.

You then knelt down but realised something was wrong with him, he was lifeless like a doll.
"Griffin, Griffin!" You said in a higher tone while shaking his shoulders trying to wake him up from his lifeless state.

"Griffin it's me wake up, GRIFFIN WAKE UP. I thought you died please wake up" You said pleading. But he just stared you back with his lifeless eyes.

"Y/n how do you know Griffin?" Ash asked confused.

"How do you know him" You said backing up from the wheelchair still staring at Griffin with wide eyes.

"He's my brother"

"Excuse me what now"

"He's my brother y/n, he used to be a veteran in Iraq. Apparently he lost control one day and started shooting his fellow comrades. Someone had to put him down so they shot him and this is him now"

"Just like father" You said while gently stroking Griffin's hair.

"Your father?"

"My father used to be a veteran as well. Before they got departed to Iraq, father and Griffin served together for a while in Europe. They were best friends"

"Is your father Max Lobo?"

"Elijah (l/n), Max is someone else.
I'm sorry, Griffin was a good person. He always treated me like his little sister back when he was.. you know. I thought he had died, with my father"

"Did your father also-"

"Yeah, i heard he lost control and started shooting his fellow comrades. Max had to shoot them both down so they could get them under control. My father died shortly after, due to getting shot in a vital area. That's what i was told" You said now looking at him. It still wasn't easy talking about your parents but you knew you had to tell him the whole truth now.

"I see"

"Remember when i told you both my parents died due to an unknown reason, i lied sorry. I didn't know Griffin was your brother" You said sighing.

"It's okay, i would've done the same"

"My mother, she had a hard time accepting his death, she wanted to find out the reason why he died. She is, no she was a scientist. She used to be a professor in top universities, my mother was really good at what she did. When we got the news of my father's death, she had a really hard time accepting it. She dropped her job and locked herself up from everyone. When we got my father's body, she finally came out just to do an autopsy on her dead husband so she could find the cause of his death. You could say that my mother went all crazy. My own mother forgot i even existed and kept burying herself in a deeper hole. I tried helping her but i was helpless myself. I don't know what happened, but i think she reported something to the police and the next day she got forcefully taken away by a group of men when we were at home. After they took her away, some of the men they.. they raped me. After that i got involved with bad people and you know the rest."

"I'm sorry for your loss"

"It's fine, i'm over it by now. There's a chance she's alive but i doubt it."

Ash pulled out a little glass bottle with a substance in it. "I found out my men were handling business for Golzine. A man they were hunting handed me this and before he died he muttered banana fish and an address"

The blonde handed you the little glass container with a little piece of paper with an address on it.

"Griffin also keeps muttering banana fish" You said.

"I have no clue what to do now. They've either figured out i have this or Golzine wants me back. I think Arthur wanted to catch me for a different reason though" He said sighing.

"No wonder why they were eager to catch you yesterday and-
Wait who's Golzine?" You asked while looking at the address and the little glass container.

"He's the reason who i am today"

You understood what he meant by that and nodded.

"I might know someone who'd want to check this substance and also take care of Griffin"

"Who are you talking about"

"Doctor Meredith. Him and my mother were close friends, they graduated university together apparently. He's the one who helped me move here. He's also got a shady business going on in Chinatown and i'm pretty sure he'd love to inspect this substance. It's just a hunch but i don't think this is heroin or just another drug, something more than that."

"You're probably right. Can we trust him?"

"As far as i can tell, yes we can. And i'll personally ask him to inspect it, i'm positive he won't back down"

"Alright, where can we find him?"
