The Power of Us (Scömíche)

Chapter 16 - Letters

I was starting to get back to how I was before, well that was before I got the letter. It didn't completely stop me from being my normal self, but it definitely still gave me moments.

"Scott?" I hollered, hoping for him to come and see the letter in my hand.

I haven't opened it yet, mainly because I hadn't decided if I was going to include Scott, but than I realize that that would be stupid. It also made me realize that's probably what his prerogative was, to isolate me.

I heard Scott footsteps echoing through the hall as he came nearer. He peeked through the door, "Do you need something?"

I smiled, "Just you."

He opened the door completely, seeing his way in, "For..." I hesitated, but gave him the letter.

"Is this from..." He didn't finish, but he didn't have to. "Yeah, I got it a couple days ago, but didn't open it. I figured since you're going to figure out any way and I'm trying to not shut you out, we should read it together."

He nodded, feeling a mixture of annoyance and pride.

"What's got you annoyed hon?"

Scott's head snapped up, "I always forget you can do that... just the agency bugging us. I told them to give us another week off for your injuries."

Ahh, playing the sick card.

He slowly ripped open the envelope, "You ready?" I nodded.

"Dear Mitch (& Scott 😉),

How has your hunt for me been going? I'm sure you've figured out by now that I was trying to isolate you, because Lil Scottie over here loves you too much. You're also smarter than I originally thought. So props to you, most idiots don't figure that out."

He must be a mind reader, I never said that out loud, assuming he's been watching us.

"Yes, I'm a mind reader. So I don't have to watch you Mitch. Anyway...

I know you want all of your friends and family to be safe... and the can. I have no problem not hurting any of them, what I do have a problem with is your team heading after me. As long as you tell your agency that you have to go after any crimes involving mwah, then I will leave everyone else in ALL of your lives alone.

As I'm sure you've figured out, that puts you and your team in danger...

But what would you rather?

Harmless family of you all getting hurt?

Or your work 'family'?

When you finally stop lying to your agency (Scott...) and get your asses back to work, I'll know what you decide.

-Liquid Diamond"

Oh shit.

I got up, and started to walk out the door, but Scott grabbed my hand. "Don't even think about it."

I turned to him, "But I-I... Y-You can't... it's my faul- I have to-" I couldn't make any coherent sentences.

My mind was going a million miles an hour, I couldn't let my family get hurt. At the same time though I couldn't let Kirstie, Todrick, or Scott get hurt either, they're all my family too.

It's all my fault.

I'm the one who obsessed over him, I'm the one who let him hurt me. It all my-

My thoughts were inturrupted by Scott shaking me, "This isn't your fault. We'll be fine, ok?"

"How can you-"

"I just know."

I shook my head, "That's not going to-"

"Mitch please-"

"NO! He has known our every step this while fucking time Scott! He knows our weaknesses, he knows our strengths, and we know NOTHING about him! Absolutely nothing! He got through me, ME! If I can't do it, I can't expect us to be able to. He knows what we think, which means he knows EVERTHING. Everything..." I finished realizing we have no chance.

I just breakdown.

"Wow." Scott says, I feel his disappointment.

"Oh, be disappointed, but I know how this ends."

He shakes his head incredulously, "Obviously not, because this is just one of the steps in his plan... I just think it would work."

I got confused. "What?"

"Don't you see? He's trying to break you."

I nodded, it worked.

"Ok, so?"

I shook his head again, "That means he's afraid of you. Because whether or not you believe it, he know we could beat him, but he also know if you don't... we can't."

I smiled.

"He's scared of us."

I looked up, Scott helping me to my feet giving me a kiss.

"Which means?" He asked, looking into my eyes.

"We have a chance."

He gave me a kiss whispered, "Exactly."
