Love or Revenge

"I could ask a few people who owe me favours, we can work from there" Alex gave his friend a reassuring pat, an 'everything will be fine pat and smile'

Alex's POV
   I have never seen Devin like this and not over a girl.
I never mentioned I once saw them getting freaky and the sex but he was gentle, was my best friend getting soft? Growing a heart? I bit my tongue just to hide the laughter that threatened to escape my mouth...
     Who could stoop so low just to get at Devin? I thought on and on about it but then I couldn't come up with a name.
  I made a few phone calls just to get someone to run the number and I finally succeeded, I felt so relieved and seeing Devin feel so helpless broke my heart..
    It wasn't his fault he became an assassin but he had a change of heart and is being a better person.

    My phone rang, "I run the number and it came up with a place, it is on the outskirt of town but those places are quite creepy and dangerous" I told him to send the address and I was up for anything so long as it meant seeing my best friend alive again, he's not dead but having a zombie right now wasn't my best friend at all...

   "I just got a call---- I trailed off when I saw Devin was already packing up ammunition, I gawked..
" I overheard you, can we go now? A minute spent here could mean Elisa is in danger, it has been months and I can't deal..
Aside from being starved of her, I miss her scent and her lovely face" he sighed..
   He didn't need to tell me, he had refused to shave looking like the next Wolverine for the X-men movie.
   He looked so bad ass with the guns and everything, I had actually forgotten how that looked like on him.
   He was a total bad ass in his hit man days; never missing a shot and his sniper was so freaking awesome...

Elisa's POV
    It has been months and no sign of anybody not even Devin, I was heartbroken that he couldn't even look for me..
But all that aside I miss him and the sex, I know I am being naughty but I miss the feel of his hands on my body and then that creepy blush finding its way to my cheeks.
   I wasn't being treated bad but I never saw daylight, I didn't know when it was night neither day..
That man spoke as if he knew my parents so well but I haven't seen him in months.

   I was some sort of bait to get Devin to do his bidding, what was Devin involved in? What was the man I love so much hiding from me? I sighed and looked worried and felt home sick.
   I heard shooting the sounds were faint but I have watched so many movies to know the sound of a gun.

    I was scared, what if a bigger gang wanted to use me as bait for Devin too, I was scared.
I could hear footsteps and they were getting heavier as it got closer to my room (well it is technically my room since I have been spending time here)
The door broke open and there stood Wolverine, I thought I was dreaming or it was a movie scene, but I looked at those piercing eyes and I knew they were Devin's..

  My heart fluttered and I blushed, when I was thinking he had forgotten about me he appears looking all sexy with a gun to save his princess like Mario did..
  He run and hugged me so tight that when he let go I coughed..
  "My Lise, he hugged me again and sobbed gently, I...I......I thought I lost you, he choked on a tear.
  Fuck! This man knows how to make my heart melt.
He carried me and we headed out, we met Alex on the way out.
