Loving You is a crime

Chapter 21

George woke up the next morning finding himself squished between Sapnap and Dream, both holding onto him for dear life.

He gently untangled himself from their sleeping forms, and made his way to the kitchen. Opening the fridge he found it once again nearly empty.

There isn't enough to make breakfast for the three of us. George glanced at the clock, the store might be open around this time, best buy enough to last us a month.

George grabbed some money and pulled the hood of his hoodie over his head. He silently closed the door behind him, hoping to be back in time to make breakfast before Dream and Sapnap wake up.

Meanwhile in a nearby hotel room, Wilbur was tossing around in his sleep, the nightmare was always the same. The events of that day still fresh in his head.

Wilbur opens his eyes and stares at his gun. "Sir the target is currently in his room." Fundy's voice spoke out through his earpiece.

"Thank you Fundy, Eret give me the layout of the building."

The file was immediately sent to his phone, and he scanned it for a few seconds before coming up with a plan.

A few weeks ago they discovered that there was a secret organization of people going after their agency. The group had already attack a few agents while they were off duty, none of the agents have died but there were a few close calls.

One of their informants had managed to discover the identity of one of the members and their address, which is what lead to this operation. They were to do this as subtly as possible, they didn't want their target to suspect that something was up and escape.

"Sir we have finished evacuating the building, so you don't have to worry about citizens getting in the crossfire." Niki's voice rang out, breaking Wilbur away from his thoughts.

"Thank you Niki," he replied with a smile.

He clenched his fist to hide the fact that his hands were shaking, and stepped forward to address his team.
There were only ten of them on the field not including Niki, since a larger group would attract attention.

"Alright guys we're going to cut off all of this guy's escapes routes. We will split into two teams, one will stand outside the door of the target's room, while the other takes advantage of the balcony. Team two will rappel down from the roof, and when I give the signal we'll all burst in on him. Niki you stay here and keep an eye on things okay."

Niki nodded at him with a smile, then he and his team set the plan into action.

~0~0~0~

"Wil...are you ok?" A voice asked from behind him. Wilbur turned his head to look at George, whose face was laced with concern.

They were both on the second team who would enter from the balcony, and were currently waiting for everyone to gear up and get in position.

"Yeah," Wilbur said forcing on a smile.

Of course he wasn't okay, this mission was important. This man could be their only way to get all the information they needed to shut the rebel group down.

George's phone suddenly buzzed and Wilbur watched as his friend pulled it out and smiled at the screen.

"You seem to be in a good mood, what did Dream send you this time?" Wilbur stated.

George blushed a little, "Just a photo of him and Sapnap getting lunch, how did you know it was from him?" He asked.

Wilbur let out a small laugh, "My dear friend, you only smile that way when he is involved," The blush on George's cheeks intensified, amusing Wilbur.

"Just marry the man already," Wilbur said, starting to relax as he continued to tease his friend.

"He actually asked me to be his boyfriend last night," George muttered out.

"It's about time!" exclaimed Wilbur, "And what did you say?"

"I told him that I'll think about it, I want to focus on this mission first," George replied.

Wilbur pinched his nose and closed his eyes, as he let out a frustrated sigh. He then walked over and placed both hands on George's shoulders.

"George you are the smartest person that I know, when it comes to deduction skills and computers no one can match you. How is it that you still make the dumbest of decisions?"

Wilbur took in George's shocked expression then continued,
"You love the man don't you? Then why hesitate, and don't give me that excuse about having to focus on this mission. Is it because you're worried about ruining your friendship?"

When George didn't answer Wilbur took that as a yes. He then gave George's shoulders a squeeze.

"George, the bond that you and Dream share is special, and not even a failed attempt in having a serious relationship with each other is going to change that."

George stayed silent, trying to take in what Wilbur was saying. Just then the voice of the other team spoke up in their earpieces, informing Wilbur that they were ready to engage.

Wilbur let out a sigh, and started to hook himself to the side of the building in preparation to rappel down.

"When this is over you better call him and tell him your answer, and I'm going to be there to make sure you don't chicken out." Wilbur stated smugly as he started his descent.

Wilbur waited until everyone else on his team had made it down, before asking Fundy for an update on their target. Fundy said that the target had not moved from his chair since they arrived.

Odd, Wilbur thought but didn't think much of it, he gave the signal and his team burst through the window with weapons drawn, while the other team broke down the door and assumed positions.

What Wilbur saw made him drop his jaw in disbelief.

Their target was strapped to a chair and gagged, he seemed to be trying to scream for help and moved his head around as if to point something out in the room.

The agents looked around to discover bombs covering the room, and at that very moment the countdown started.

"Everybody get out!" Wilbur shouted as he ran forward in hopes of saving the man, they needed him for information.

Wilbur could see the fear in the man's eyes as he quickly tried to untie him. When he finally did it, there was only a few seconds left. Wilbur helped the man up and started to lead him out the door.

There he found the rest of his team waiting for him in the hallway, not wanting to leave their leader behind.

Wilbur was about to yell for everybody to get away when George suddenly shouted.
"Wil look out!"

Wilbur turned to see the man look at them with a sinister smile, he had lifted up his shirt to reveal a bomb strapped to his body.

The man then spoke a few words that made Wilbur's body go numb,

"Death to the children of Stellar!"

Wilbur suddenly found himself pushed to the side, and landed onto the floor with a thud. He turned around to see that George had launch himself at the man, pushing the bomber backwards and disappearing into the bomb filled room.

The rest of his team quickly made their way towards Wilbur, checking to see if he was alright.

Wilbur just sat there frozen, "Geor..." he tried to call out but he got cut off as the bombs exploded.

Wilbur ears were ringing as he painfully tried to get up, and found himself in a hospital bed with Niki, Eret and Fundy sitting by him.

Eret quickly left to find a doctor while Niki took his hand and Fundy held the other. He asked about his team, and Fundy explained that because his team were surrounding him when the explosion happened he was mostly shielded from the blast, but sadly out of the ten men that went in with him, only four had made it out alive.

Wilbur cried for the six men that he lost, and his sobbing only became louder when he realized that one of them was George.

No matter how much they tried, Niki and Fundy couldn't comfort him.

George was dead, Dream would never know how much George loved him. It was all his fault.
