Dead Heart

Call for help

Raya's POV

I can't sleep. It's around midnight and I'm still thinking about, not only the kiss bit also about Liam Ross. What was he thinking, did he even mean to or he was just using it as an advantage or revenge of some sort? I turned to my other side. I remember i saved his number on my phone some other time when I was bored the other night.

I got up and opened the drawer beside my bed and got some sleeping pills. I went to the bathroom to get some water coz I'm too lazy to go to the kitchen. I drank a month full of water from the sink and went back in my room to get the pills to swallow. When i entered the room i kinda felt different, a bit dizzy. I swallowed the water trying to keep my balance. I sat on my bed for a moment and felt a bit drowsy. I stood and went to open the glass door for some air. It wouldn't budge, it was sealed tight. I mean i wasn't suffocating but it somehow felt like it.

I hurried to Phanuel's room. He was sitting up on the bed. "You alright kid?" I asked him.

He looked at me with realization. "Do you feel dizzy.?" He asked. I nodded walking toward him. He stood up. "I just puked and I'm not feeling ok." He said and took my hand and led me towards the exit downstairs.

"What?! What's happening El?" I asked curiously.

" If we stay here any longer we will die. So we have get out." He said and grabbed the doorknob to find that it won't budge.

"What do you mean we gonna die?" I asked totally confused.

" It's possible there is a nitrogen leakage somewhere, nitrogen is a gas we breathe in normally with oxygen and other gasses, but pure nitrogen is toxic, if we stay here any longer we'll have lung failure and we'll die." He said now breathing heavily,  revealing how educated he was.... At least he pays attention in class.

Honestly, i couldn't feel my legs anymore. I was scared, I was screaming inside. But i can't cry, i can't give up. I'm a fighter. I fought for people's lives and i can fight for mine. I snapped out of my thoughts and found El trying to break down the door. I helped him for a minute and he just collapsed to the floor. "Kid!" I said going to feel his pulse. It's weak, so is mine. We're dieing slowly and we can't feel it.

I just grabbed my phone and that's when i realized my hands were shaking and weak. I pressed the speak button. "Siri, call Liam." I said my voice trembling.

" Calling Liam" then it started ringing.

" Agent Ross speaking." I head him say. My heart felt some hope and I started crying.

"Liam, please come to my house, please, El has passed out and i might be next. There's a nitrogen leakage somewhere. Please Liam." I said and I heard the phone hang up and everything went black.

Liam's POV

I was having my fifth coffee for the night. I just was trying to focus on the work I was given but i couldn't stop thinking about her. About the kiss....

Why did i even do that? I mean i wanted to since the first day i saw her but i never really thought i could be so ballsy..... I took the paperwork i had to be working on close to my face and tried reading it. When i looked away i saw her picture from the file on my desk.

"Why do i even have her pictures?" I said picking one up and before i could tear it into half, I was startled by the ringing of my phone. Kint?

I answered it. "Agent Ross speaking." I said in a professional voice.

She was breathing heavily. "Liam please come to my house, please, El has passed out and i might be next. There's a nitrogen leakage somewhere. Please Liam." She said and i hung up and took my coat and ran out of the office. I went in the car with my phone dialing 911.

When someone was on the other line i didn't even wait for them to speak. "This is Agent Ross, send an ambulance to the address i just texted you ASAP." I said and hung up starting my car. I drove at a speed I had never driven by even in a mission. My heart was beating fast, more like I was fearing that she would die. I can't let her die, not yet, I have these feelings yet to discover. I want to see what could be of us.

I reached the mansion having considered that they were sealed in the mansion. Luckily for me it was just locked from the outside so i easily broke the lock and pushed through the big wooden door with my shoulder. It opened and there she was with the boy laying on the floor unconscious.

I knelt to the floor and checked her pulse. It was awfully weak so I tried performing CPR on her and she came back. She opened her eyes and I lifted her up to my chest level. She looked at me and gave a weak smile. "You came." She said and I chuckled in relief and hugged her....Where was this sudden affection coming from? I felt her arms on my back; she hugged me back.

The paramedics went in and took  the boy and tried reviving him. I looked at her seeing how much she was struggling to not close her eyes. "Hey, have some rest ok. I'm here." I said and somehow kissed her forehead and she just closed her eyes and dozed off.

The paramedics took her from my arms to a stretcher into the ambulance. I called my sister and told her about what had happened so she could be there for her. "I cannot be found consoling a criminal." I said to her.

"Okay, but i really don't wanna see her Liam." She said, and I know i was being unfair but my pride matters.

"Thank you, I owe you one." I said and hung up to receive a call from work. I was requested for an important mission. I would get a promotion after sealing this one.

Following morning.....

Raya's POV

I woke up into consciousness and the last thing I remember was Liam's reassuring words. At least someone pretends to actually care, not that I need any care.

I opened my eyes and the bright lights blinded my eyes. After a while they adjusted to the light and i saw a familiar figure. I looked closely and it was her. "Mel?..." I said and she looked at me.

"So you're awake." She said slightly grateful. "I thought I had to stay here longer, thank goodness you woke up." She said and that just made my heart ache. She really wanted nothing to do with me. Liam was right, she doesn't even expect me to come to the wedding ceremony.

"It's okay, you can leave now, I'm awake." I said coldly. She starred at me for a while and then left.

I just lay there thinking of if I should go to the ceremony and yes i will, not only to get Liam fired but to be unpredictable.

A few hours later i was told to go change coz i was being checked out. I went out of the room and i saw him. My cutie. I went to him and hugged him. "Are you ok?" I asked and he nodded. "You worried me for a second there." I said and at a distance I saw Liam. " Hey kid I'll find you home ok?" I said and he left.

Liam drew closer and I could see his serious expression a few feet away. He then stood before me. "Kint." He said

I looked at him and a sudden urge to hug him came. I was grateful. "Detective" I said teasing.

His face grew into a frown. "Want coffee?" He asked and i have a weak nod. He led me to his car and opened the passenger seat door for me and I went in. He went in the driver's seat and started the car and drove to the coffee shop.

..........

We sat sipping our coffee stealing glances at each other. After we were done we left and he drove me to the mansion. I went out of his car and went in the mansion. That was awkward..... But still comfortable, I could get used to it. Then i just smiled while having my back against the door
