A Nurse's Healing Touch

Chapter 9: The Two Men at the door

-Oliver's POV-

After our kiss he stands from the couch then holds out his hand. "Are you ready to actually get this date started?" I blush then place my hand in his, "I've been waiting for awhile." He smiles then gently guides me to the door. "I think I have the perfect place for us." I quickly stop at the door, "wait I'm not dressed to go out to eat, maybe I should change?" He shakes his head, "no you look perfect, besides I'm not dressed up either but next time I will be." 

I blush as he merely mentions us going out for a second time. I gave in and started to walk out the door, but was stopped by two guys wearing a black suit. Logan looks at them just as confused as I am. "Hello, can I help you two with something?" They both look at me then one of them speaks up. "Are you Oliver? The one that barely survived the attack of Connor?" My eyes go wide and my body immediately goes into panic at the sound of his name. Logan catches my emotions and quickly retorts to the two men. "What the hell man? Can't you see he is still trying to recover from that asshole." 

The two men look at Logan, "sir we are part of the F.B.I. and we need to speak with Oliver alone for a moment." I quickly shake my head, "no, I need him to be with me right now. So whatever you have to say to me he can hear it." The two men nod to me then we all walk back into my apartment and close the door. The two men gesture to the couch where both Logan and I take a seat while they stand in front of us. 

"Oliver I hate to inform you but Connor escaped the prison and is on the loose. Where pretty sure he will try to pay you a visit." My whole body goes into panic mode and all I can do is begin to cry. I keep my eyes down as the dark thoughts begin to return. My tears dry up instantly as the two men then say, "we regret to inform you of this, and advise you to remove yourself from your current residence and workplace." I then look at them, "how could you let him do that?" Logan places a paw on my leg as he then looks to the other men, "He put Oliver threw hell and back and now all you can tell him is that he will have to move again." 

I look at the other men with frustration, "great, you're just doing the same thing the other officer's did. They told me to pack up and move, for fuck sakes this is the fourth time I moved in attempt to get away." Logan stares at me in shock and the other men do too. "I mean I've moved so much I don't have any money left, hell I live in an income based apartment with a manager that is understanding. Where do you expect me to go with no money?" The men start to speak but I quickly interrupt, "oh I know witness protection right? Yeah check how that went last time with Connor, because news flash he found me." 

The men don't know what to say. "I'm so done with this, you know what everyone leaves now?" I look at Logan, "you too, I don't want you wrapped up in all of this." He looks hurt and starts to say something but I cut him off, "oh and when he comes for me, I want all of you to know that I'm gonna open that door. I want this to end and I know the only thing that will end is him just finishing what he started." I then start to walk towards my back room, but a familiar furry paw grabs my wrist.

-Logan's POV-

After hearing Oliver speak like that I finally broke, and grabbed him before he left the room. "The fuck you will, just because the police failed you doesn't mean I'm gonna." I then look at the still stunned men, "yeah you heard me, all of you are failures." I then turn back to Oliver, "I'm not gonna allow you to do anything of that nature. Go pack all of your things, you're gonna come live with me. I have a highly rated security system and you won't have to worry about rent, food, or anything. I'm not gonna take no for an answer, and you're not involving me in anything. I care about you and will do anything in my power to protect you." 

Oliver looks at me in shock for a moment, before one of the men speaks up. "You might need to accept his offer, if your refusing witness protection." I look at the one who spoke, "did you not hear what he said before you fucking idiot?" I roll my eyes then look at Oliver, "now while idiots one and two are here let's get you packed up." He still doesn't speak, instead he drops to the floor with tears rolling down his face. I then crouch down so I can look him in the eyes, "Oliver I got you now ok? Nothing is ever going to happen to you again as long as I live and breath."

He looks up at me with tears rolling down his face like a water faucet. "Why do that for me?" I smile at him then place my padded hand on his cheek, "because I care about you and always have." He smiles through the tears then lunges into my arms, nearly knocking me to the ground. I wrap my arms around him then say, "now let's get all of your valuables and essentials packed up. I have a guest room that we can make yours. I'll even call work and tell them I need to be shifted from night shifts to morning, so I can be with you at night." He smiles then allows me to help him up.

I then look to the men, "now if you don't mind the least you two can do is stand outside the door while we pack up as much as we can." They both nod and Oliver and I get to work packing up as much as we can. I can't believe that Oliver and I's date got interrupted by something that is literally the worst. Poor Oliver doesn't even realize he revealed things he hadn't told me about yet. I'll get a chance to talk to him but first let's make sure he's safe.
