The Unexpected Journey-A Prince Harry Fan Fic

Chapter 90

"Holy shit!" Gary couldn't help the wide-eyed expression on his face as he and Kyle followed hurriedly behind Maddie and Harry who were being rushed from the bar to one of the cars by Jim as Arthur waited in the car and Nathan went inside to assist Sampson.

"That was insane," Kyle shook his head. The cousins were impressed; minds blown. It really was something to see the Security Team in action. But Harry, who had been through something like this more than once, was focused. This was Maddie's first and she seemed to be the tiniest bit rattled.

"You okay?" He studied Maddie closely as she slipped into the car with him right behind her. "Madeline?"

"What?" She looked to him, a little dazed as her cousins hurried in and the two officers with them pulled away from the curb; leaving behind two agents and the other car.

"Are you okay?" His hands ran over her hair, her shoulders, her arms; patting softly, making sure.

"Of course," she swallowed and nodded. "He barely got a hand on me and..." She glanced back towards the bar in a slight panic. "Are we just leaving Sampson and Nathan there?"

"They have a car," Harry shook it off; his body and his attention turned towards her. "Jim and Arthur have to take us home." He felt so different explaining it to her; so adult-like.

"Of course," she swallowed again, looking to the front of the car, an apology written across her face. "I'm so sorry guys! I know this means more work for you and papers and..."

"Don't worry about it Doctor Forrester," Jim spoke up, his eyes meeting hers in the dark space. "You did nothing wrong. You tried to de-escalate the situation and, when it blew up, you didn't put up a fight while we pulled you from the scene. We're in the car and out of danger. Everything went just as it should."

"Okay." Maddie nodded, a slight smile crossing her face as she felt tears come to her eyes. "Okay..." She blinked and turned away from Harry then, looking out at the night.

"Hey..." He was loving with her; gentle. She was scared. She felt bad. She felt guilty. He had been there before. "It's not your fault."

"Do we..." She wiped at her eyes and turned back to him. "Are we going to have to go back to London early? I don't want to leave my mom yet. We haven't even..."

"Nah," he shook his head, his fingers reaching to stroke her face. "I'll call my father when we get back to the house but I think we'll be fine. Hey..." He cupped her face. "We're fine. It's fine."

"Jesus..." She exhaled sharply, her body finally relaxing. She seemed to recover, seemed to calm significantly as she slumped back into the seat. She took a moment, her mind running it all over in her head and when she looked up at Harry, she shook her head. "I can't believe that just happened." Harry reached for her hand, squeezing her fingers in his with a soft smile.

"I can't believe you brought him over to our table," Kyle offered from the seat in front of them.

"I know," she groaned. "What was I thinking?"

"What were you thinking?" Kyle echoed her sentiment. Harry watched the interaction between the two of them; much like the interaction he sometimes had with his father. They held eyes for a moment before Maddie nodded, giving in to the unspoken argument Kyle was making.

"I know..." She sighed again. "I know."

"You're too nice sometimes," Kyle shook his head, letting it go.

"Yeah..." She took a deep breath and leaned forward then, talking to him over the seat. "Did you know he was there?" Kyle raised his eyebrows. "At dad's..."
