Painful pasts and terrible truths

Chapter 25

When the cookies were finally cool I passed one to Virgil so he could try it

"It probably tastes horrible" I sighed, I picked up my book and I continued to read it

"Whoa, this is amazing, you're a great cook babe" Virgil smiled and he kissed my cheek

"How did you not throw up, my cooking sucks" I complained

John had ruined the moment

"Ah Virgil, I have a job for you, get Gordon as well" John ordered

"Ok" Virgil nodded, he got up and he walked up the stairs, a few minutes later he returned with Gordon

"So what do you need the dynamic duo for" Gordon asked

"Thailand, there was an explosion at a chemical waste plant, it seems like sabotage, but we don't have enough evidence to add the Hood into the mix" John explained

I stood up

"No Olivia, it's too dangerous, I don't recommend you going especially with the lack of training you've had, even though Virgil said he was gonna train you, but I guess you two are too busy trying to make babies" John sighed

"I'll be fine" I laughed

"Seriously John give her some credit I'm sure she'll survive" Virgil added

John rolled his eyes

"Fine, but don't blame me if you get badly scarred" John muttered

He ended the transmission, Virgil pulled me to one side

"Are you sure you're going to be ok, I don't want you getting hurt" Virgil looked worried

"I'll be fine, trust me" I told him

I regret saying I wanted to go, the fire was terrifying, I held Virgil's hand, he looked over at me his face was filled concern

"I don't like it" I whispered "it's scaring me"

"Cheer up Olivia, honestly, you're scared of everything" Gordon commented

"I can't" I sniffed, I had to look down at the floor so they couldn't see me crying, my emotions got too much in the end and I had to run away from them, I hate myself so much, I pulled my knees into my chest, this was a horrible feeling, I couldn't get away from it, I couldn't breathe let alone calm down, I felt a hand on my shoulder, it was Virgil's sweet and kind touch that made me happy

"Are you alright, I know how much you hate fire, you can go back and lea-" I interrupted him mid-sentence by kissing him

"Sorry, I had to do that" I apologised
Virgil bit his lip before he spoke, God I'm so rude

"It's ok, kid, I needed that" agh here we go again with the adorableness, we managed to put out the fire and it was sabotage, I looked around for any clues that could mean something, I found an envelope with my name on it, I stuffed it into my pocket and we were done, Virgil managed to hurt his arm by hurt his arm I meant he has a half inch deep gash that starts from his forearm and ends at his wrist, I had to do some first aid, I had to move my hair out of the way to make sure I didn't get any blood on it, I took the cotton pad out and placed it on the cut, he winced, I gave him a look that meant I was sorry, I gently wrapped a bandage around his arm to keep the cotton pad secure

"There we go, you should be able to sort it out when you get home" I smiled, I kissed his cheek

"Thanks, you look really nice whilst you're not wearing your contact lens, it makes you look mysterious and cool" Virgil smiled in response

"Do you think I look nice whilst I'm wearing it as well" I wondered

Virgil nodded, he wrapped his arms around me, I love him
