Jim Moriarty x Reader 2

Chapter 39

The four of you made your way to Harvey's location, your mind racing. You were terrified of what you might find once you were there. From behind you, William seemed pretty zoned out, texting someone on his phone. Likely either Candy or Ty, you suspected. Every once and a while you'd glance back at him to catch him smiling slightly- he was totally out of it. Maybe it was good he wasn't stressing too much, and also that he was keeping in touch with the two back at Jim's place. It would ensure that everything was all good back there, while keeping William occupied so he wouldn't be spazzing the entire way there.

Nevertheless, you were absolutely terrified for Alex...

Jim stopped before you reached a building, examining your surroundings. You took a deep breath, staring at the building hatefully. This is it. This is where you would find out if Alex was okay...

"I'll stay out here so you have an outside eye if something happens. Keep in touch." Jim stated calmly, hinting that you wear the earpiece he had given you from before when you went to save Marcus. You nodded, knowing that was a good idea and put it in as told. If you ran into Harvey or were held hostage or something, jim was a good person to have your back.

"Alright... we'll be back with Alex soon enough." You said quietly, trying to remain optimistic on the situation. Marcus was quiet, not joking around or making peppy comments as usual. He must have been worried to death...

You, Marcus, and William all headed towards the building, as silent and discreet as possible. Marcus shouldn't be here... he was so young, he didn't need to see any of this... nevertheless, something kept you from telling him he should stay with jim. For some reason, it seemed like an absolutely terrible idea.

You all crept around the outside of the building until you got to a window which you could peer through. Your eyes widened at seeing Alex limp on the floor- Jesus, the least Harvey could do was give the kid a bed or something... still, maybe he was just... asleep?? You could hope... regardless, you had to get a closer look. You had to.

Marcus was still quiet, but you noticed he wasn't quite tall enough to see in the window. He'd be able to see soon enough...

You found another route to get into the room, managing to stay out of sight from everyone. You immediately went over to the boy, your eyebrows drawing together.

"Oh my god...." you whispered, taking his pulse. It was extremely faint- barely even there. It shouldn't be there... he should be dead if his heart was going so slow. He certainly looked dead....

"Alex... baby can you hear me....??" You asked, placing your hand lightly on his cold cheek. He seemed to be in a coma-like state, although not dead.... not dead. William knelt on the other side of the kid, his eyes burning with both anger and numbness. You looked up at William, drawing your eyebrows together. You wished you could tell what he was thinking... Marcus stepped forward, doing a little examination of his own. He could tell by your expressions that Alex wasn't dead..

"So he's alive... just asleep...?" Marcus asked, William shook his head, running a hand through his little brother's hair.

"... barely alive. .... damnit Ty should be here... he'd bloody know what to do, his parents were doctors....." William mumbled, you noticed Marcus tense up ever so slightly at hearing the words. Dismissing it, your attention focused back on Alex.

"We have to get him out of here... Harvey's going to kill him.."

"No-!!" Marcus retaliated quickly, this time both you and William looked at the kid in confusion.

".... no. If Harvey really wanted Alex dead, he would have done so already. So either he needs him for something, or Alex physically cannot die. Either way, he's safe here." Marcus continued quickly, you stood up and went over to him, eyebrows drawn together.

"... you think we should leave him here?! With Harvey?? Marcus, we cake here to save him! You helped us find him-! Why are you suddenly backtracking...?" You ask, Marcus shook his head quickly in his defence.

"No, no, I just mean that if we take Alex now, Harvey is just going to be after us again. Besides, he's alive, Harvey is keeping him that way. If we take him, we might actually be endangering his life because we don't know everything Harvey has done to him, or what he's still doing to keep him alive in a coma.-" Marcus said quietly, you could see a gleam of nervousness in his eyes and you tilted your head, trying to read him. He swallowed, seconds later the alarms in the building went off. Marcus seemed unfazed, which really worried and confused you. Still watching him, you stepped back until you were beside Alex and William again.

".... William, get Alex. ... let's get out of here." You said, your trust in Marcus slowly diminishing. Marcus stared at you a moment, before quickly leaving the room, you watched through the window as he quickly snuck out of the building to go find jim. William stared at you silently a moment, despite the blaring alarms in the building. Jim began spazzing at you from your earpiece.

"Y/n what are you doing?? Get the hell out of there!" He ordered, you breathed a curse at realizing that for some bloody reason, you were going to do exactly what Marcus wanted you to do.

Leave Alex in the care of a murderous, unstable psychopath. .... who also just so happened to be his father.
