Thorns (Sequel to A Dozen Roses)

Chapter 13 Our Past

Chapter 13
Mitch POV

Jason and I gathered in the meeting room with Ian's new team after our argument. He had very quickly chosen to bring Adam back to the agency. Smart move on him.

Adam and I had been to Quantico together, the official FBI training academy. I was in the advanced class while he was in the regular. A few months in the two classes combined.

We had been appointed roommates and had hit it off right away. He was super cool and caring but also really good at fighting and sharpshooting. We were paired up together on 'missions'. Which were all training of course. I was his tech analyst and he was my field officer.

Once Christmas rolled around everyone was allowed to go home for the holidays if they wanted. Only myself and Adam were left, but we had no problem spending the two weeks together.

Flashback

I finished saying goodbye to some of my friends who were heading home for the holidays. My family was currently in Canada and I didn't really have the cash to fly myself home. But I didn't mind, my roommate Adam was staying with me.

Adam had told me his mom had died when he was little and that his dad was super busy with work this time of year but he didn't care. He planned on staying at Quantico all of Holiday break anyways.

"Hey Mitch! You wanna head into town and get some dinner or something?" Adam suggested walking up to me. He was dressed in jeans and a big black coat with a yellow scarf around his neck, and a black and yellow hat on his head.

"Sure! I'm starving." He laughed in agreement and we went out for dinner.

Since we had taken a cab we both had no problem drinking to our hearts content. I was a sad little light weight and it only took 3 martinis and a single shot of Vodka before I was slurring my words.

Adam on the other hand had more than double the drinks I had and a glass of whiskey. He was beyond slurring and to the point of everything being funny.

"Do...do you..remember the way home?" Adam asked me slurring as he looked at me with sleepy eyes. I grinned.

"Nope but that's what the taxi man is for!" Adam giggled and agreed. "Excuse me Mr.BarTender, could you call us a cab?" The bar tender looked unamused but called us a cab.

"Where you boys headed?" Adam giggled and downed the rest of his drink.

"Quantico. We're in training to be the FBI. We're gonna be the best!" The bar tender snorted and told us the taxi was outside.

Together we stumbled out to the taxi and climbed in the back. I told the driver where we were going and he started driving.

"When we get -Hic!- back to Quantico imma shower and take a -Hic!- nap cause I'm sleepy." Sky hiccuped giggling. He was so drunk and hell so was I.

I yawned and snuggled my head against his shoulder tiredly. The alcohol was making me sleepy. Sky giggling and put his arm around me letting me get comfortable.

"Aww is someone tired?" He asked. I looked up into his eyes and nodded smiling.

"Youmakeagoodpillow." I slurred not entirely sure what I had just said. Sky giggled and pressed a loud kiss to my forehead.

"You're so cute when your tired." I was to drunk to realize he was flirting with me, I hadn't even known Sky was gay or bi at this point. "Aww just look at  -     Hic!- look at you."

I giggled tiredly and looked up at him again. He seemed to stare at me for a while before gently cupping my chin and pressing his lips to mine.

I'll admit I was startled at the sudden action but kissed him back without hesitation. Our kisses started out slow and soft but gradually got rougher and more hungry.

I reached my hand up and laced my fingers into his hair as his hand clung onto my side keeping my against him.

He bit my lower lip and looked into my eyes. He slid his hand up my back slowly to cup the back of my neck keeping me close. It was perfect.

Until the asshole taxi driver slammed on the brakes and told us we were here. We grumbled and paid the man getting out of the taxi and stumbling into the building.

We never mentioned it again.

Now either Adam didn't remember that moment or didn't care to mention it, but we never spoke of it again. The next morning we went to breakfast like it was nothing. Jerome knew all of this and didn't care as long as Adam didn't try it again.

So we were going to do whatever we could to save Adam. He was our family and I couldn't lose him.

Together we gathered in the meeting room with Ian's new team. None of them knew what we were up against, none of them knew what we were willing to risk to get Adam back.

"Alright everyone quiet." Ian murmured sitting at the head of the table. Myself and Jason got quiet but the others kept talking and had to be shushed a second time. "Thank you, now we know more about the people we are up against thanks to Mitchell here making it back to us." I smiled slightly and opening my laptop starting to load the files and send them to the main screen.

Ian gave me a look asking if I'd be alright to lead the meeting and I just nodded. I cleared my throat and stood up.

"Alright. So while I was there I heard a manageable amount of names and saw some people. Here's what I remembered." I pulled up files on..

Seto Solace
Brice Solace
Isaac Solace
Isabelle Solace
Evelyn Solace
Lachlan Powers
Kyle Comics
Dartron Comics
Tyler Ellis
Adam-Sky Dahlberg

I knew I was missing a few names but that was all I could think of at the time.

"Now as you can see by the files we have found an ah marriage license for Seto and Brice. Which confirms our files to his last name being Solace now. They have two children." I pulled up Izzy and Eve. "Both are young and not seen as a valid threat." I zoomed out and zoomed in on Isaac.

"Now Isaac is only Brice and a woman's child. Not Seto's by blood I've discovered." Jason raised his eyebrows interested. "The mother I'm currently searching on files for but if we can talk to her maybe we can find them better."

That was our plan at the moment. To try and find Seto we would find Deadlox and Adam. Isaacs mother was a long shot but I have a feeling she's been keeping in contact with Brice.

I had actually found a location on her, or well a last known address for her. And guess what?

She lived here in Virginia.

Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait I wasn't actually sure how I wanted to write this chapter and ended up rewriting it 3 times! So I'm glad I got it finally. Hopefully I can keep this story moving!
