Just as Before (Tord X Matt)

If Only

Tord POV

They say some people arent always what they seem. If Only I knew that sooner.

I had to abandon Matt at breakfast due to a distress call from the base. Patryck couldnt hardly speak to me on the phone, but from what I could get between sounds of screaming and gunfire, Blue leader was landing a heavy attack, but no sign of him. He was waiting for me of course, forcing me to go. Matt didn't understand, but I promised him I would be back before sundown. 

A promise I might not be able to keep. 

So there I was, on the battlefield with my men, Paul and Patryck by my sides. I always had a special bond with them, as silly as it sounds they we're my closest confidants when I realized I was falling for Matt. Oh the countless hours I cried Into their shoulders from the overwhelming guilt after I destroyed the house. I heard loud boot steps nearing us, forcing me to glance up to see what was approaching. That was when the shooting stopped on both sides. That only happened in a hostage situation. There was no need for an innocent death. Blue leader stood on a crate, probably filled with extra ammo or guns. His laughter with thicker than a snowbank in Oslo.  

"Red, it's such a pleasure to see you again pal. How's the family?" 

"Don't patronize me Blue. Who are you using to try to get the advantage over me now?" 

"I SAID: How's the FAMILY?"

I could only deduce that he was talking about Matt. But how would he know about that? Did he have an inside Man? If so...who was it..?

"Matthew is fine. There, I answered your question, now answer mine." 

"Are you so sure he is fine? You may want to check those cameras you installed last week."

How did he know about that? Nobody knew about that...or so I thought apparently. He definitely has someone on the inside. I needed to find out who the hell that was. I pulled my phone from my pocket, scrolling through the camera feeds. There I saw a man, blue hoodie..checker..shoes...T-Tom? No, we made up! Right...? 

"Thats not Tom...it cant be..." 

Blue only smiled as the feed continued. He knocked on Matt's apartment door just moments after I was seen running down the halls to get to the base. Matt of course opened the door, welcoming him in, but only to get drugged. 'Tom' carried the now unconscious Matt down the stairs, hands bound, and tossed him into the back of an unmarked car. 

That meant the hostage was Matt.

I'd failed him.

Blue drug who I could only figure was Matt onto the box, a black cloth covering his face, covered in cuts and bruises. They'd been trying to get information about me out of him. 

"GOD DAMN YOU TO HELL! TOM TOO! BOTH OF YOU!" I screamed out, Paul and Pat holding me back so I wouldnt rip out Blue's throat right then and there. He drew a gun on Matt, forcing him to his knees, execution style. 

"You know what I want Red. Hand it over, and you get to have your pretty little twink back."

"Dont call him that you bastard." I spoke low, bordering a growl. I shuffled in my pocket, pulling out a sheet of paper and handing it over. Blue holstered his gun, taking the bait. That paper I'd given him was false missile launch codes. It would actually download a malware system on the moron's entire base. He kicked Matt over to me like a dog, smug grin on his stupid face. I could have killed him then and there, but that wouldnt be half as fun. I picked Matt up, pulling the bag off his face. He honestly looked terrible. He was covered in cuts, cigarette burns on his face. The poor guy had been brutally abused...and it was all my fault...

"t-t..." 

"It's me Matt, Im here now." 

Matt shook his head no.

"N-Not....t-t-"

"Matt...?" 

Before the ginger could get out anything else, he passed out. 

Not T?

I pulled up the video feed again, getting a closer look at 'Tom'. Sure he had the hair, clothes, and shoes...but the eyes...oh my god...it was black face paint! They had tried to make me frame Tom!! I felt even more pissed off. They knew Tom would be the fastest way to bother me. Then who was our inside man? I'd be looking into that heavily. 

But for now, Matt needed serious medical attention.
