Chapter 27

Sasha's pov
It's been 8 hours since we brought Jack to the lab and Xavier is still not out of that fucking room.

I have no idea if he'll survive...or what if he's already dead? My mind started to race in all the directions possible...

The door finally opened, "He's stable...it was a close call." Xavier was looking rather pale.

I smiled at him, "Thank you." And entered the room. Jack was on one of the beds covered with a blanket deep in sleep.

Xavier left the room while I approached the bed. I took the chair next to the bed,"What were you thinking?" I sighed, kissed his forehead and set my head on the pillow next to him.
Exhausted I fell asleep immediately.

During these 8 hours I instructed people to get cover for Jack.
Someone sent him a piece of paper with some intel regarding an exchange with the Chinese and the Russians, he got caught in the fire, got hurt, we found him things got ugly, some people got killed.

Most of the bodies from the "war" were already moved and covered, only the last ones from the van that came later on remained.

There was also a gas explosion in the building next to the site.

Soon McCoy will come asking for Jack and I have to hand him over...

I felt two arms touching my back, in a few seconds I got my gun out and pointed at the person behind me.

North raised his hands "Woow kitten, It's just me. Chill out!"

My sight still fuzzy "What are you doing here?"

He rubbed his temples, "the police will soon arrive, you don't want to look like you do now..."

He was right, I didn't have time to change or take a shower, the blood was everywhere on me.

I took a look at Jack, he was so peaceful.

"Walk with me North." I put the gun down and he followed me to the exit.

The door contained a little panel I entered the code and closed the door. I knew that only Xavier will know that code.
Someone told Jack what was going on so maybe that someone wants him dead, Xavier had nothing to win from all that so I trusted him.

I looked at North "Who did it?"

"Who did what?"  He didn't even look at me.

"It was you, wasn't it? You told Jack where to come."

We reached outside, the cold wind caressed my cheeks, god I needed that!

"Wars need sacrifices to be won."

"If you lay one finger on him, or put him in any danger from this day forward you are dead to me North. Do you understand?" I stopped walking and looked him in the eyes.

He said nothing, not a single word no emotions in his eyes or on his face, nothing. I nodded and continued walking to the Red Velvet, North disappearing in the shadows. The situation was so disappointing...

The club was empty, except for the bodyguard at the entrance, I entered my office got undressed and hopped in the shower. The hot water felt good on my skin.

I took a big black t-shirt and leggings with uggs and blow dried my hair. My makeup natural, it was as if I went for a stroll through the city.

A knock came at the door, "Miss, detective McCoy is here."  Josh's voice rang through the room.

"Send him in" I nodded at Josh.

"Hello, Miss Sasha." McCoy barged in almost kickingJosh, but our man was 3 times his size he nodded and left.

"Hello detective" I motioned for him to take a seat.

"No thank you, I am here to ask you about Jack. Do you know where he is?"

"Your trainee...yesss. Such a good young man, you should take care of him more detective. We found him almost dead."

"He did not respect protocol, he'll be sanctioned maybe with his badge when he'll be up."

He did that for me..."The job is risky indeed. He is in a critical condition but I think we can move him to a hospital soon."

"I want him moved now. I don't want him to stay in this place any longer. Where is he by the way?"

My arm almost went to his throat, but I calmed myself by pouring a drink. I needed one.

"Safe. We will move him when my doctor said he's fine. I don't want cops dead on my streets."  

"I will be waiting for your call Miss Sasha, and I hope you don't want us on your streets looking for him."

"Your time is up detective." I signaled him to get out.

He left and didn't even close the door. God I hate cops.
