After many orgasms and a nice warm bath, I was asleep for the rest of the evening. I stir in my sleep before eventually waking up. I turn to face the side Eden is on but notice her presence is gone. I feel panic in my chest as I rise up quickly and look around the room.

I notice a yellow paper on the night stand next to me. I grab it when I see handwriting on it.

Be back soon xoxo, it reads. I grumble out loud before collapsing back onto the bed.

I do my usual routine and decide to wear one of Eden's white button ups. I move throughout the kitchen and whisk a batter of waffles together. I hear the front door open and smile to myself as I hear Eden enter the house. My smile stays on my face as the footsteps come straight to the kitchen.

"Hey-" I turn around, but something smacks me across the face. I fall and hit my head first into the counter. I'm instantly knocked out into the abyss.

...

I jump out of my sleep from the weird dream but cry out in pain. The back of my head is banging and my gun wound from yesterday is swollen in pain. I try to get up but notice that I'm tied to a chair. I look around at the wooden abandoned space and start to become present of my current situation.

"You're finally up," A high pitched voice screeches through the dim building. I squint my eyes and notice a group of men and women combined surrounding me with weapons in hand.

A light skin woman with curls cut short stands before me with an eyepatch on her face. She smiles darkly at me and I start to feel extremely uncomfortable.

"You know, after Eden broke up with me I promised myself I wouldn't be THAT ex. But then I hear that not only has Eden not been following along with her missions, especially the ones that my daddy needs for the sake of his safety, but that she's with some... whore," she nears me and pushes her finger on my forehead.

"So I'm going to end everybody's suffering, by ending you," she laughs hysterically. I glare over at her but start to panic as she backs away and her crew walks towards me.

"Fuck you," I grit, but instantly regret it when I feel her slap me across my face. She pulls my head close to hers and smiles in satisfaction. I spit some blood onto her shoes.

"Put your hands up!" A voice booms into the warehouse as the door bursts wide open. I sigh out in relief as police flood the building, but I stop when I see Sage's face.

Shit, I think and immediately tilt my head down. I try to escape the rope but all I'm causing is my wrist to burn.

A bullet loudly escapes into the air and I jump up. Eden's ex looks at me with wide eyes and I look up to see a bullet come out the front of her head. Blood splatters all over me as my adrenaline picks up in speed. She collapses onto me and I scream as more bullets flood the scene. I try to push the heavy body off of me but it is no luck. I keep my head down and notice high heeled boots in front of me. The ex's body is pulled off of me and dragged onto the floor.

I watch as the person walks to the side and I feel the persons hands on me. I gasp when I feel a knife on my wrist but calm down when I feel that my wrists are free.

"You are safe now," Sage says. I look up at her and see her face morph from a stoic to an unreadable expression. She frowns down at me.

We can't even converse because a leather Black boot is kicking into the side of her face. I watch as Sage collapses and reaches for her gun. Eden helps me up and forces me to keep up at her fast pace as she runs. I look over and notice the smile on her face.

...

"Did you really have to kick her?" I sigh as I press the frozen peas to my bruised cheek. Eden nods at me as she walks around our new home.

"This is my favorite house. I come here a lot when I'm not traveling on missions," she says as she glides her finger on the smooth wood that lays below the mounted TV.

"And we are safe here," she finishes. She looks around the place excitedly.

"For real this time?" I look up at her. She comes and sits next to me on the leather couch.

"For real this time," she repeats after me. I turn my attention to her and Eden turns her head to the side to face me.

"Why are you not completing your missions? I know it's because of me and if I'm stopping you from doing your job then we should end this. You are creating enemies. I mean for fucks sake, your ex kidnapped me today," I blurt out and throw my hands into my lap. Eden makes eye contact with me. She sits up and her taller figure looks down at me.

"I've been completing my work. That's why I left this morning, which I'm sorry for by the way. In this business I'll still create enemies regardless of how good my work is. My ex's father is the smallest problem I have right now," she says while pulling my hands into hers. We sit in silence for a while.

"Let's go on a date tomorrow. A proper one," she interjects and I look at her crazily.

"No distractions? No police?" No spies? No ex's? No murder in front of my face?" I question seriously.

"No," she laughs while shaking her head. I relax in her arms and we cuddle for the rest of the night.

"Man down! Man down!" A voice booms into the warehouse. I look up into a flashlight and see many officers surrounding me. I slap the flashlight out my face and move my jaw around till I hear a cracking sound.

The paramedics come in and help pull me up. I'm guided outside and my other detective stands by our car before walking over. He hands me a coffee and two pills.

"Was she in there?" He asks while scratching at his beard.

"Yeah, she was in there. Both of them were," I respond while taking the coffee and pills from him. I gulp down both pills at the same time and then take a sip of the burning coffee.

"We are going to catch them," he grumbles before putting his hands on his waist.
