Badass In Hiding

chapter 10

So I wrote mist of this when I was drunk and have edited since but not much so sorry if it is really shitty

Dean POV

Staring into the mirror I study my reflection, as the water from my hair drips down my face. Everything I seem to have learnt and found out in the past few days seem to have hit me hard. I clench my fist trying to calm my anger. A knock on the door distracts me briefly.

"Hey Dean? Hurry up!" Terin shouts. Sighing I move to unlock the door and walk into the room. I notice the clothes we brought sitting on a bed and the one next to it is unmade. I quickly get changed, and just as I finish Chase walks in. Something is slightly different as his eyes seem to be filled with a pain I haven't seen before.

"Where is Alian?" He asks straight away. I look to the unmade bed realising who was there.

"I don't know. She wasn't in here when I came out." I tell him. He sighs.

"Shit. We have got to find her." He mutters running a hand through his hair. He quickly grabs the key Carr and walks out the room. I follow him out. "We'll search the reception area first and ask the receptionist if she has seen her. Okay?" He asks. I not my head in agreement.

Chase POV

"Are you sure you haven't seen her?" I ask the receptionist again. She smiles apologetically.

"I'm afraid not sorry. Is everything okay?" She asks with concern in her voice.

"Yeah... I just wanted to know where she is." I answer.

"Chase." Dean calls from behind me. He jerks his head as if to say come on so I quickly go over.

"You found her?" I ask. He purses his lips but nods his head. "What? What is it?"

We continue walking him not answering my question. We reach one of the bars outside the hotel and instantly my mind thinks she has been drinking again, however I'm surprised when we stop and I see her talking to Peter through the window. Instantly I'm on alert. I push open the door and walk over.

"-want. However I can offer you a better solution." I catch the end or the conversation.

"Hello Peter." I say calmly before making a bit of show in pulling out one if the other chairs on their table and sitting in it.

"Chase." He replies equally as calm. "Pleasure to see you.... With your old partner and new. I guess they must both fight equal attention." He jokes. I raise and eyebrow of unamusement.

"Why are you here?" I ask.

"The agency has been corrupted and I'm on the run." He answers. "I just came to see check on potential people that could be in danger."

"People in danger?"

"Yes. From a name that seems to keep popping up in all the chatter of the agencies corruption."

"Who's?"

"Your's." He tells me. I try to mask my shock,

"What do you mean?"

"I wanted to ask you the same question." I look to Alian who is staring at the wall.

"I haven't done anything. Ask Dean. I would never betray the agency." I tell him honestly. Peter just smiles at me,

"I know. I was just testing you. I was also hoping Alian here would be willing to tell me what she knows. She doesn't want to talk though." He states.

"Alian?" I ask. Her gaze shifts from the wall to me before to the bartender pouring drinks. Sighing I get up, "What do you want?"

"Something strong." She whispers. I go over to the bar and wave the bartender over.

"What can I get you?" He asks.

"Something strong to help my friend over there." I gesture to Alian. He studies her for a few minutes,

"Bad breakup?" He asks. I almost laugh at his suggestion,

"Something like that." I sigh.

"I've got just the thing." He tells me and makes the drink. A minute later he comes back with a colourful drink in his hands. I pass him my card not bothering to ask about the cost and he quickly runs it through the till. When he's done he gives me my card back and I take the drink over to Alian. She takes the glass eagerly and takes a long sip of it. She doesn't say anything until she is finished.

"The Agency," She begins wiping her mouth, "Is corrupt. They want to take out some very key government figures."

"Why?" I ask. She shrugs in response.

"Power? Money. I don't know." She says, however something in her eyes catches my attention thinking that she does know.

"Can I have another?" She asks. I shake my head,

"No." I answer. She sighs and goes back to staring at the wall. Peter looks at me,

"What the hell happened to her?" He asks. I shrug my shoulders not knowing how to answer.

"Seriously Alian. This is a disgrace. I used to think you where awesome but now all I feel is pity. If you however get rid of... Of-" He gestures to herself, "This. My offer stands." He tells her.

"Before you go Peter. Do you know what happened when I died." She asks. He frowns looking at her.

"What?"

"Well you see three armed guards have been following you. They have just reached for their guns. I'm guessing they have been told to kill us when you leave." She states. Peter looks around,

"What are you talking about?"

"You made a mistake." She tells him. Instantly his facade drops,

"Where?" He asks with a raised eyebrow.

"The ring in your finger. That and I saw you in the hotel lobby when we checked in." She tells him. I reach for my own gun only to find it already gone. I look at Alian and notice her pointing it at him already. There three guards have their guns pointed at her and Dean has his gun pointed at one of them.

"Okay guys. Let's stay calm. Why don't you put the guns down and we talk about this." The bartender says with his hands up in the air as he inches towards the phone. I catch movement in the corner if my eye as one of the guards moves his gun, aims and shoots. Chaos is what follows.
