Loving His Assassin

Chapter 35 : We are into deep shit!

Edited

Hours later, we were back into New York. A car was waiting for us and we hoped in before arriving at the HQ. Everything was a mess, I never saw so many people running everywhere. Usually, it was a peaceful and quiet place since the men were living in another house a few miles away. The house was almost destroyed and there were holes almost in every wall. It seemed the reconstruction didn't really work...

I followed Derek into the house, well what left of the house and searched for Logan. After asking some men working on the reconstruction of the house, we learned that he was in the nurse room. So, we walked there and entered. Everyone was there around two beds with Damon and Matt recovering on top. They looked miserable, there were bandages everywhere on their body and they seemed to have lost a lot of weight. What the hell happened?!?

"Explain." ordered Derek his voice cold, but we could all sense the fury in it.

"It seemed like Matt discovered some info on something and they both went to confirm it or something like that. I guess they didn't bring any backup and hours later, we receive a phone call from Damon for help. Then nothing more from them until we found them like this. We don't know more on this matter until... They both wake up." explained Claire.

"Did you search his office?"

"Yes Boss, unfortunately, we found nothing. Not even on his computer. We are sorry Boss!" apologized Claire.

"Continue searching. I want the head of the one who dared to challenge us like this! They will know hell from now on." barked Derek before walking out of the room. "Nyx, come."

I looked one more time at everyone in the room and walked out. I knew I shouldn't feel like this, but... But I was furious! Now that I already showed my love to Derek, I couldn't disappear anymore, so why the need to hide my friendship to them. THIS WAS UNFORGIVABLE!

I clenched my hands tightly and furiously followed Derek from behind. I was so angry that I didn't notice Derek stopped walking, so I hit his back with my face.

"I'm so-..." he started before Derek's fist hit the wall.

"How. Dare. They?!!!" he punched the wall another time.

"Please calm down, Derek. I understand how furious you're, but you'll have to keep your head cooled down if you want to kick the ass out of the culprit. Once you're calmed, I'll tell you some info I have." I explained trying to not show my anger too.

I heard him inhale and exhale multiple time, but he took me into his arms. We stayed like that for a few minutes.

"I don't know what I'll do without you... Going on a rampage maybe or work my ass off until I kill myself." he confessed and for the first time, I saw no matter how strong you looked like, we would always have a talon d'Achilles and our moments of weakness.

"Then use me like you should. I'm an assassin, I work better in the dark. Use your head of yours and make a strategy worthy of yourself. Aren't you the Boss of the most feared mafia? I suppose you didn't win this grade by only banging for fist on the walls." I tried to boost his spirit up.

"You sure know how to hit on someone's ego. And no I didn't hit any walls, but I killed the last Boss. Now tell me, what do you know?" he said gaining his composure.

"I actually asked Matt to do some research on the group who attacked us before. The last thing I know from Matt before we went on vacation was the fact that he was half done. I'm sure he left some clues in his office. They didn't just search deep enough..." I started to explain, but then I mostly talked to myself. Almost talking my thoughts out loud.

"I see... Then go to Matt's office. I'll do some research on my own and if anyone finds something, immediately report everything to me. Understood?"

"Yes, Master." I answered before we both went to different directions.

Okay, Matt office first! I walked in the hallways for a moment before stopping. I absolutely didn't have any ideas where was Matt's office... I looked around and every door seemed to look the same. It would be faster to ask someone than to open all the house doors. Perfect timing, someone was talking at the end of the hallway. So I walked in that direction and I saw a man talking on the phone.

"Yeah, I'll find it as soon as I can and delete it all... Of course, I didn't... Don't worry, I'll take it back with me... No matter what. Yes, later." he said on the phone before closing his phone.

I was still hiding behind a wall, not wanting to come out yet or he would suspect me. When he started to walk in my direction, I took a few steps back and walked forward again. At the corner of the hallway, we meet each other.

"Good timing!" I exclaimed. "Will you tell me where's Matt office is?" I asked more seriously.

"Of course, at the corner turn to your right, then the fourth door on you left is his office." he answered while pointing his finger in the direction I would take.

I nodded and continued my way without saying anything. Just in case, I would do a background check on him. I remember his face anyway. Finally, in Matt's office, I started by his computer. However like Claire said earlier, there was nothing. This was strange, I saw Matt showing me some info on this computer, so it shouldn't be this empty. Where? Where did he hide all his research?

I looked in every files and record. Nothing at all, there was only meaningless things. In case, I checked the laptop storage and saw it was almost empty! Don't tell me...

"Yeah, I'll find it as soon as I can and delete it all... Of course, I didn't... Don't worry, I'll take it back with me... No matter what. Yes, later." I recalled the man's words earlier.

Shit, we may be into deep shit!
