Wicked (MaskedMexican)

Chapter 26 - Solutions

~Ohm's POV~

"We warned you not to get too close to the bars! We warned you this would happen!" I complain loudly as Chileld just looks to me as if he's in a daze.

"What do you mean? What happened?" Chilled asks so calmly and I just roll my eyes and look sway for a second before turning back to him, very annoyed with this guy right now. Seeing the purple mess on his neck I sigh and throw a black scarf towards him, the very same one both him and Minx have used before that made both a traitor suspect. He barely catches it and pouts as he puts it on, jesus, I don't know how Nanners puts up with him.

"You were probably too exhausted to remember. No wonder you got too close without even realizing it," I complain and walk towards the freezer and toss an ice pack to him he holds up to his neck while looking to me curiously. "Nanners tried to choke you," I explain simply and he freezes only making me more furious and pace around the room. "I should have taken the night shift. I knew you had been overworking yourself but I didn't-..." I continue to trail on, it's all my own fault. I thought it was strange he specifically asked to take the night shift but I kept my mouth shut because he wanted it and I've never denied him something, more than him anyone really. I've always just followed under someone, I'm doing it right now under father. I'm tired of this.

"Chilled! Are you alright?" Ze barges in after I had texted him a while ago and when Chilled doesn't answer I just nod towards him to relieve the poor dude.

"Just some bruises, no bones or internal damage it seems luckily. Looks like I caught Nanners right before he could have gotten serious," I explain though something seems.... wrong. "Tom is watching over them right now. Nanners hasn't spoken a word since the incident, not even to Gassy or Sark," I explain further and Ze nods, looking to Chilled and approaching him before glancing over to me.

"Ohm can you... leave us alone?" Ze asks and I just nod, leaving the room and shutting the door behind me and stay silent when the door closes.

What.... what was going on with Nanners? I know Nanners, I know Chilled, and they were both heads over heels for each other, so just why would Nanners do such a thing? I'm half convinced that Nanners wasn't even aware of what he was doing when he did it, I mean, I highly doubt the dude would just randomly decide to choke the man he had held dear not too long ago, there had to be some sort of motive. Before I realize it Chilled comes out of the room along with Ze and Ze explains to me there's another meeting go on and I just nod, watching them both leave although I'm dying of curiosity just what will happen in that meeting room this time. Everytime they seem to leave the room with news and I'm just waiting for the day they'll come out with good news for once.

And it is the first time they come out with good news. Chilled comes out too quickly passing by me claiming he's going to go and take breakfast to the group shocking me and I immediately refuse but Ze calms me down. Glancing back at Ze he smiles gently and it suddenly strikes me, they got a deal to go through. They seriously convinced those old fucks to actually get along with them, and having dealt with them since I was small I know it's a hard thing to accomplish.

"What was the condition?" I ask, knowing there's always some sort of catch. Ze shrugs and glances back towards Chilled running off in the distance.

"We're releasing Sark early and Gassy's going to be the last signature. After that there's three days then you're free." I nod slowly, becoming excited now that things are finally moving after having stood at a stand still for the past few days. Ze looks at me with a curious expression and smiles when he opens his mouth again. "Oh, and a daddy demanded he knew his son was safe in here," Ze mentions and I widen my eyes, feeling a bit... embarrassed.
