My Unwanted Admirer **COMPLETE**

Chapter Twenty Five- One Step Closer

I stood in a room full of silence , silence that spoke louder than anything could be. We all knew we were screwed. We knew we wouldn't be able to figure out a way to con this man! He's too quick and must have some insite into this situation. He knows what we're going to do before we do. How? Why? And most of all when? I'm snapped from my thoughts as Logan's phone rings.
Logan: Adams here!
Unknown: about time we finally talk don't you think?
Logan: what do you want?
Unknown: All I want is my sweet sweet Lillian. But you keep getting in the way boy!
Logan: See that's where we differ. A real man doesn't stalk and make women afraid of them. A real man protects them from creeps like you.

The line went silent. Had Logan actually have this person something to think about? Or was it just wishful thinking. Some how I knew deep down this wasn't over or if we were even one step closer to ending this nightmare.

He had followed me, he had known where I'd be and when I'd be alone. I can't be alone ever again. I will never feel safe being alone again. I cannot bring this on Logan, he deserves so much more than to be wrapped up in this misery I unfortunately call my life. Although I appreciate everything Logan has done to protect me I can't let him get involved in this. It's my mess. My responsibility.

Almost as soon as I had that thought out Logan looked over at me it was like he knew exactly what I was thinking when he walked over towards me taking long strides and pulled me into a deep hug.
"Lilly?" He spoke softly, "are you okay?"
Truth being I wasn't and probably never will be again. Tears started to well in my eyes as Logan noticed and pulled me even closer rubbing the back of my head and shushing me. This, this right here had made me feel safe. Somehow in all the worry and discomfort I had been through the last few weeks Logan had seemed to make me feel safe again and more like myself than this shell of a woman that remained. A few moments had passed before either of us moved from this hug and then Billy spoke,
"Sir. I've got an update."
Logan grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze, it has meant more to me than I could put into words just knowing he was here for me. He was the one keeping me safe. I was feeling very selfish at this moment and I didn't want to let him go. I couldn't understand how I would be able to function on my own without him here to help me through all this madness. Selfish of me absolutely, did I care at this moment in time? Nope. Logan started leading me over towards the big long table that the FBI had set up in the  living room. "Give it to me Billy," Logan demanded.
"So we've just got a trace on the call. It was coming from outside and we've gotten the security tapes. Dave was looking through them and the unsub was stood directly across from us. He could see everything that was going on. Hell he may even still be there so I've sent a team to investigate." Billy spoke worriedly, before I could even accept the words Billy spoke Logan had snapped "Fuck sakes Billy, why didn't you tell me sooner? Lilly, stay here do you hear me? Billy your with me. I ain't letting this good for nothing piece of shit get away from me this time." I couldn't comprehend what Logan was saying. Why was he going after this man? He was obviously dangerous and I didn't want Logan getting hurt. Shit! I have to do something!
"NO- "I cried out. You can't go this is exactly what he wants. "He's looking for your reaction. You cannot go Logan. Please just listen to me." I spoke in a harsh tone. I couldn't let this creep get his hands on Logan. Sweet sweet Logan who would do anything to try and save me. I mean hell, the day we ran into each other by accident I put all this on him and he hasn't left my side since. I can't let him leave now. It seems all too fishy for my liking. "Lilly, listen to me. I have to do this. You don't understand, I'm doing this for you. To protect you. I'd do anything for you Lil! Always, so just let me do this. I promise I'll be fine." Logan spoke softly. Damn how did he do this? He was such a sweet talker. He could probably talk his way out of anything or talk someone else out of something, it was almost working on me till a switch switched in my head. "Nah-ah." I spoke. "If your going them I am too." I said trying to sound brave to try and convince him not to go. "There is no way in hell im letting you go out there. You'll stay here Lilly, I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to you." Logan said with his voice sounding worn out. "I don't care Logan, you don't understand. I can't be the reason you might not come back. We don't know what he's capable of yet, and on top of that what's to safe I'll be safe if I stay here? Logan I don't know anyone else and honestly, it's scaring the crap out of me.

Logan sighed. He knew I was right. I was relieved thinking maybe, hopefully I had got through to him. I mean I had make a perfectly good and valid point.
Logan nodded his head " while all that might be true Lil, I have to. This is my job. I have to sacralise myself to protect others." Logan exclaimed although he sounded sad. "So what?" I spoke. "I mean yeah I understand but I don't want you doing it for me. It won't work anyway Logan. I've never been able to let you go. You know that. How do you expect me to now?" I cried, well more like sobbed, I can't let him leave me.

"Fine I won't go." Logan eventually muttered. As I heard those words my heart jumped with joy and I was instantly happy to hear the news. Finally, i wouldn't have to worry about him sacrificing himself for my protection.
