Darkness (John Wick x Female Reader)

Chapter 20

'So Flint, what's the plan?'

'She wants me to shoot you'.

'Oh my-'.

He puts his hands up to stop you, 'I'm not going to kill you, I'm not going to touch you in any way', he looks back at the tall building that you both had walked out of.

'She's been hellbent on trying to get Project Silas up and running fully. She told you about it right?'

'Yeah, she's spoken about it before... She's mad'.

'Tell me something I don't know'.

The two of you stand in silence before he sighs, 'look, I need you to stay out here, she won't know that you're alive and-'.

'What about John? I have to go get him-'.

'That's something I can do'.

'But... What about me?'

You're growing worried now and Flint could see that, 'look... I've contacted Marcus-'.

'Wait, you know Marcus? What about-'.

'Winston, yes I know all of them. I'm the mole in Lady Jane's group'.

Holy shit.

'So, she doesn't know about any plans that you have?'

'No, not that I'm aware of'.

You hear a phone go off and Flint quickly answers his phone.
You wait patiently as he talks for a few moments before hanging up, 'that was Marcus', your eyes light up when you hear his name, 'he's on his way'.

'How the fuck is he able to get here without being seen?'

'Oh, it doesn't matter. Lady Jane assumes that no one can get here'.

God, this man is smart.

'How long should he be?'

He looked over to the large gates, 'he's not too far, he's on the road right now'

You follow his gaze. Your mind is in a jumble as you think about what you're going through, 'Flint?'

'Hmm?'

'We have to get back inside- I mean you have to get back inside, I don't want John to be hurt'.

You hand his coat back and he quickly slips it on before heading back up the stairs, 'don't get seen, Marcus should be here soon'.
You watch as he climbs the steps quickly and disappears inside.

The air around you is cold as ice and you regret returning the coat back to Flint, but you had no choice.
Your mind flashed back to your parents, please stay strong, you know that you'd be in deep trouble for not speaking to them. Your heart sank when you thought about your mother dying without you even knowing.
You had gone so far in life and you found yourself here, standing outside a mad woman's hideaway where you supposed lover was inside... Who knows, he might be dead. You look up at the building, your eyes landing on each and every window that was lit up and you wondered if John was in there.

'What're you doing? You can't stand out here in the middle of the courtyard'.

You spun around to see Marcus a metre away from you. He was a dangerous man, seeing as he was able to sneak up on your and you didn't even hear him. He wasn't even sneaking up on you in the first place anyway.

'What- when did you come? Were you hiding around the fucking-'.

'Flint's gone back inside. We have to get John'.

'She's with Lady Jane'.

'I figured as much'.

Marcus points around the side of the building, 'Flint's opened up the side gate for us to go through', he pushes you along with him, 'he really does hate lady Jane huh?' You can't help but smile but it's gone in seconds, 'wait... So is it just you?'
Marcus chuckled softly, 'of course not, Winston is keeping an eye on us. He has to be careful though, he can't be seen through the systems, otherwise we're going in blind'.

'So you've got a mastermind who owns a hotel? That's a good mix'.

Marcus smiled, 'I know, I've known him for quite some time and so has John, so yes, he's a good guy to have on your side'.
The both of you reach a large door, Marcus pulled the door open slowly, the two of you praying that it wouldn't make too much noise.

'All we need to do is get John out of here'.

Marcus said, 'I'm not going into this place and start shooting everyone, I can't do that. It's going to be too risky'.

'But, you could have done it if you brough backup'.

He shook his head, 'then Jane would have killed John and we wouldn't be able to save him', he had already thought a head.

He's right, you want John alive.

'Well, I don't know where to look, this place is-'.

'Big, yes I know. We have to move quickly, so just follow me'.

You stay quiet from then onwards, making sure that you don't get seperated. Your heart is pounding as you think about where John was, is he okay? Is he alive? You're sure that he can keep himself together. You had seen him fight beforehand. He would've been able to defend himself... Right?
