Warnings: Lanuage! Fluff!
"You know there's something quite romantic about all this" Max says as he paces back and forth in front of you and Jake "tied up with your lover... about to meet your end together"
"The team are on their way now, you won't get away with this" you warn him, straining against the rope that bound you to your chair.
"Oh I know, I've sent my goons to slow them down" Max hums as he stops turning to face you, picking at his nails "but they still won't get here in time," he says clapping his hands.
A few guards walk into the room carrying a large heavy box "where'd you want it boss?" They ask.
"Right in front of them, I don't want any mistakes as to what it is" Max orders nodding to you and Jake, the guards nod walking over to you and Jake placing the box down with a heavy thud "careful idiots" Max chastises before waving for them to leave.
You and Jake exchanged a glance before looking back over at Max, watching as he walked over to the box and opened it to reveal a bomb "shit" you mutter under your breath.
Max smirks looking over at you "shit indeed, this is one of my newest toys and you guys are going to be my lab rats" he explains before chuckling as he shakes his head "there won't even be anything left of you to scrape up"
You bit your lip to stop yourself from screaming profanities at him, doing so would only make this worse.
"I'll leave you to say your goodbyes" Max grins before walking out of the room.
"Shit, shit, shit" you mutter screwing your eyes shut.
"It's okay we'll get out of here, we'll be fine, just try and shuffle closer to me," Jake says as he begins to try and scoot his chair closer to yours.
You take a shaky breath as you try and shuffle closer to Jake, the backs of your chairs finally meeting. Jake grabs your shaking hands to calm you down.
"Hey, hey, hey it's gonna be okay, we'll get out of here, I promise" he reassures you "I'm gonna untie you and then I need you to untie me"
You take another shaky breath nodding your head, breathing out a sigh of relief when you felt the rope around your wrist fall to the floor. You quickly untie the rope around your ankles before standing up and untying Jake.
"See? Now let's get out of here" Jake reassures you as he stands up.
Just as he says that you hear a loud beep, turning in its direction you see the bomb had been activated and you only had five minutes before it detonated.
"Fuck" Jake cursed under his breath.
"Can you disarm it?" You ask him.
"Not without my gear, we're just gonna have to run for it," Jake says shaking his head.
"Jake we're in a tower a hundred meters tall, with thousands of steps, we aren't gonna get far enough away in time," you tell him.
Jake curses looking around the room before a smirk grows on his face "you're right we're gonna have to jump"
"What!" You screech staring at him bewildered as he picked up all the rope and a large piece of tarpaulin that was in the corner of the room "are you insane?"
"Maybe, but it's all we got, I saw this in a spy movie so it should work," he says as he starts tying the rope to the four corners of the tarpaulin.
"There isn't a MythBusters episode on this is there?" You ask sceptically.
"Not that I'm aware of now c'mon we need to hurry," Jake says gesturing for you to follow him "right I'm gonna tie this through our belt loops but hold on tight to me as well" he says threading a spare piece of rope around your waist.
"There's no way I'm gonna let you go" you mutter as you wrap your arms around his shoulders "god I hope this works" you plead as Jake moves to two of you towards the window ready to jump.
"Trust me" Jake grins.
"Alright MacGyver, let's go" you sigh kissing him quickly just in case.
Jake smiles back at you before counting down from 3, the two of you jumping from the window. You free fall for a couple of seconds, long enough that you accept that you were about to die before finally the makeshift parachute begins to work and the two of you safely glide to freedom.
You landed with a heavy thud a hundred or so meters away from the towers just as the bomb goes off. Jake covering you just in case.
"Well shit... I didn't expect that to work" you admit once it was all over.
"Me neither" he admits, chuckling when he saw the glare you gave him "but if there was a chance to save the woman I love, I was damn well gonna take it"
Your face softens as you smile warmly up at him "I love you too Jake, thank you for saving us"
