Staring at his sleeping figure I notice he seems a lot calmer, his features stand out more under a lamp post, the cute moles that scatter along his face, the small scar in his eyebrow.

Staring a bit longer I see a water droplet on his forehead, looking up I see no rain what so ever, but yet I feel a drop roll down my face.

I'm crying

EW

I haven't cried in a long time, but I guess he scared me, I felt helpless and weak all over again and I hate the feeling.

Wiping my tears because crying makes you weak, emotions make you weak.

I gently lift his head off my lap walking over to the car we parked across from the building, getting in I drive back to where I left Rapp lying in the alleyway.

Leaving the passager door open I go and grab his body.

"Holly shit, he's heavy." I'm huffing just from trying to pick him up

Looking around I spot a man sitting at the end of the alleyway minding his own business.

He'll do

Walking over I stop in front of him "I need your help" the homeless man looks up at me "absolutely not, I know what you do"

"I'll give you £100 if you do."

"Sorry, but we're in New York."

"Right, €200 then and all you have to do is help me put my friend." I point over to Rapp's body "in the car, that's all."

Giving a few seconds the man finally decides to help.

Getting him in was difficult, not because he's fat but he's made of muscle literally. God took his time.

Finally getting muscle man in the car I head to the small hotel I booked for a couple of days, unfortunately there was only rooms with one bedroom left so I guess it'll do.

"Damn" I hear him mumble

"Yeah, sorry about that." I utter back

"Where are we going?"

"We are already here, come on." I get out walking to the front desk signing in, grabbing the bag from the back of the car I walk back in walking to the elevator, Rapp following behind.

"I'm uh I'm sorry about-" he says breaking the silence

"It's okay."

"No, it's not, Skyler." He argues not leaving it

"Seriously Rapp I understand, Hurley has been there for you, and he cares about you, it probably feels like you lost your dad." Walking out the elevator, unlocking the door I see is a decent place

"I'll be in the kitchen if you need me, we have to stay low for a couple of days." I speak walking to the kitchen looking for snacks

"Yeah, I'm just gonna have a nap then." I hear his feet walk to the bedroom and the door shut

Leaving Rapp alone I grabbed the phone and headed to the bathroom to call Zane "Hello?"

"Hey, Zane I need help. The mission didn't go as planned and I don't know what to do." I panic a little, I've never had mission go this bad and take this long

"Hey it's okay, I mean we've had plans that fail, and we have ones where we don't even know what we're doing okay?" I turn the hot tap on rinsing my hands.

"Hey Sky, you, okay?" He worried voice speaks up

"What's wrong with me, I'm scared Zane I can't mess this up, it's the only chance we've got and... Casper took Stan." My voice cracking near the end

"Skyler where are you, I'll come get you now."

"I can't I have to stay low, and a big black car is going to get a lot of attention, and I know for a fact you hate driving those shitty undercover cars."

"Fine, but you know I'll be there in seconds...Skyler I don't know this Stan Hurley very well but from what you've told me he can pull through."

"Zane, I'm ill, I nearly cried a few hours ago, cried! I don't cry I stopped all emotions." I shouted down the phone, but instead of getting an answer I wanted, he laughed.

He laughs, it's not funny I might be seriously ill.

"Skyler I'm proud of you, you're finally feeling something, and I know it's scary but that okay, it's okay to be scared sometimes. It's okay to not have to be independent all the time, to allow someone to save you...look I'll call later, and I got some information I can send through, but I got a call to take."

"Okay...Thanks Zane."

"No problem kid." He says before hanging up knowing I'll argue I'm no kid

Looking down at the phone I see the information he sent, and a lot of it, and that has been on the phone for about an hour.

Standing up from the floor I look in the mirror and see my eyes on the brim of leaking.
Not wanting people to think I'm weak I wash my face a couple of times before someone knocks on the door

"One second." I quickly dry my face, unlock the door and walk out but I walk into wall. How embracing.

Oh shit.

I mean I walked into him

"Sorry" I mumble ducking under his arms that are on the door frame, making my way back into the kitchen but being pulled back by my arm

"Are you okay."

"I'm fine" I say, removing my arm from his grip and walking to the kitchen.

Hearing his footsteps behind me I sit down and act like he's not there

"Is this how it's going to be now...I'm trying to be nice Sky I've apologized, and I don't know what you want me to do."

"I want you to stay out my way for now."

"I'm trying my best not to hurt you right now, so can you just stop making this into something it doesn't need to be made into."

Standing up quick my chair falls to the ground I spin grabbing the collar of his shirt, backing him to the wall by the draws. Surprising both him and I.

"Trying not to hurt me? MITCH, you nearly fucking got us killed and don't forget the tantrum you pulled off which by the way nearly fucking killed me." I snapped my grip getting tighter by each word.

Staring at him in the eyes I see shock, might be by the fact I've finally snapped. I'm not okay if that's what he wants to know. The truth being I feel like I've failed, I got the one person that never gave up on me, caught. But I shouldn't take it out on Mitch. He lost him too, we both did.

Snapping out from my thoughts I see how close our faces are.

Not exactly wanting a kiss, I release him from my grip, picking up the chair and walking into the bedroom with my laptop, mumbling under my breath.
