Crossfire

Aftermath

"How are you feeling today Aaron?" Aphmau asked as she entered the room with his breakfast. She had insisted on taking care of him.
"I'm still fine, Aph," he assured her...again.
She nodded absentmindedly, kissing him on the forehead.
He sighed. She meant well, but he was going insane.
Zane wasn't much better. Zianna was STILL doting on him but Vlyad and Garroth felt pretty bad. I mean, their poor baby brother was practically being tortured. They were ALL under observation from the police. Sasha, Aaron, the Ro'Meaves, and Aphmau were all in danger.
Gene was a relentless man. He wouldn't stop until everything he wanted was in place. He wanted Aphmau and her pretty little boyfriend dead, and he wanted Sasha to pay for talking. Of course, she would die too, but he would make hers' much longer and more painful than Aaron and his little Kitty's. Hell, maybe he'd even keep her for a while...she was awfully cute, after all...
Zenix, he was still a horrible person, but damn it if he wasn't terrified at the look in his friends eyes when he talked about killing Aaron. Sure, he wanted revenge too, Aaron got him expelled. But Gene...he was crazy...insane, even.
And poor Sasha, she had to die now too. Pity. Gene could tell Zenix liked her. Poor, poor Sasha.
...
"Nobody is shootin' my brother!"
Aaron smiled. He'd been enjoying this show his girlfriend had forced him to watch. He was attached to the brothers now. To hell if one of them had hair long enough to look like a puppy. It was tearjerking and hilarious and...
Oh god he was turning into a Supernatural weeaboo.
Aphmau was at home, finally getting some rest, thank god. Poor girl was working herself ragged trying to work around the police watching the house. She'd been begging them to let her and Aaron go out to enjoy some quality time...without an escort, but every time they'd pulled the "do you wanna die?" speech on her.
But after this, she'd had it.
"YOU CAN'T KEEP US HERE!" she yelled at the man.
"Oh but see ma'am, we can. We're the cops," the snarky reply shot back.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH. THIS IS THE UNITED STATES! WE HAVE FUCKING RIGHTS!" she screamed angrily.
"Dave! What the hell are you telling this young lady?" a woman snapped.
The officer ran off.
"Sorry about him. He's a rookie. Bit of a dick," she apologized.
"Thanks. Uh...Jillian," Aphmau said sincerely, shaking her hand and reading her badge.
"No trouble," she responded.
Aphmau nodded.
"I don't like how Dave was talking to you, but I do agree, you shouldn't leave. Trust me, you're safe here," the officer soothed.
"But I--,"
"I understand, believe me I do, but you need to remain under surveillance until we find this man," she said, rubbing her arm.
Aphmau sighed, then tirned with a wave and walked off.
This was bullshit.
