The Body Swap (completed)

CHP16

Alex removed the gray hoodie that Luke made her wear and ripped a part of his shirt. She moved closer to him.

"Let's see your wound."

He removed the sweater that covered his wound and brought down the neck opening of the shirt he was wearing so that he need not to remove the shirt.

Luckily, despite the abandonment of the comfort room, there was still water running. Alex soaked the cloth that she ripped in water and washed the blood covered wound.

Luke was still panting at this point. She cleaned the wound and while doing so, Luke grabbed her wrist. Taken aback, she stopped and looked at him.

Even though they switched bodies, she didn't see herself. She still saw him. His face not hers. His body not hers. His brown eyes not hers.

Her heart was beating erratically inside her chest. She couldn't explain the feeling.

"I think it's about time to call your dad again." She was hearing his voice not her own. Was she imagining this? She didn't know.

"I..well..uh."

He tilted his head."You alright?"

"Yeah. I'm fine. Absolutely okay. Why do you ask?" Alex blinked and Luke became her again. She handed him the cloth and stood up to wash her face. She wiped the dirty mirror with her hand and saw his reflection. His quite attractive reflection.

Sean suddenly popped in her head and she looked away in guilt. Alex returned to her original position earlier and rested on the back of the door. Sean is equally handsome as he is. She wanted to bash her head on a wall.

The cloth was drenched in blood. Luke stood up and washed the cloth. Water mixed with thick red liquid went down the drain. He washed his hands as well as they too were covered in blood.

Looking at the mirror, he turned red and looked away. Due to the wet clothes, he could easily see her brassiere and the outline of her waist.

"Alex, would you mind passing me my hoodie please?" She got the message and gave him the hoodie. Luke thanked her.

With his eyes closed, he removed her shirt and wore his hoodie. He threw the wet shirt on the sink, along with the cloth that Alex ripped.

He went beside her and sat as well."Alex you need to call your dad now."

"He removed all communications with me and my mom remember? The phone number that I have saved on my contact list is no longer used by him."

"Then we need him to find us."Alex agreed. "But for now, we need to get out of here."She said.

They unlocked the door and took a peep outside first. When they saw no sign of possible armed or bad men, they moved out.

Luke and Alex walked side by side with their heads down. They successfully exited the subway without anyone following them or spotting them.

Luke called for a taxi and told him the location of their apartment building. Alex's home was not safe. So is Luke's but there was a greater chance that they'd expect them to be at her place.

Once they got there, Luke was screaming Nick's name. He was indeed at home and relief washed over Luke. Alex was also relieved that nothing had happened to his little brother but there was a part of her that thought greatly of her mom's safety. She couldn't wait to get to her and ensure her safety.

Luke made her change her full outfit. Especially because she pissed on his pants a while ago. They did what they did previously. Alex was very much embarassed since Nick was around.

After that, Alex made Luke close his eyes to bandage his wound. Sure, her upper body is still covered but she just felt uncomfortable and thankfully Luke respected that.

Nick was busy asking a truck load full of questions. Neither one of them answered. They knew that Jonathan and Kristina got something to do with this.

Jonathan cursed, jogging down the building with his sniper rifle. Kristina was with him.

"We've got to finish this quick. We are leaving for Italy in 2 hours."She informed him.

"I know that. Call up the other guys, we are going hunting."

Luke , Alex and Nick were already in a taxi on the way to where Vanessa works. She works as an assistant of the CEO at the J.Lo Company and it was 30 minutes away plus 40 if they get unlucky with traffic.

Alex was nervous. What if they already got to her? What if it's too late? It was just a bunch of what ifs. She's probably still safe and sound there, doing her job.

"We're following them. Our location at the moment is 153 Walter Street." The man said through his earpiece.

"Copy that.We are on our way."

"You guys finish them up while we finish her mother."Kristina said while loading her gun. Jonathan smiled at her menacingly as he stepped on the accelerator,making the car go even faster.

Nick looked at the side mirror of the car. There was a black car following them. He was sure they are being followed because since their departure at the apartment building, it never left their tail"Guys do you think we're being followed?"

Luke and Alex looked back at the car. "That's not Jonathan nor Kristina but I'm pretty sure that's one of them." Alex with her eagle eyes told them.

Nick politely yet roughly spoke to the driver."Uhh sir can you go faster please?"

"There is a speed limit that I need to follow."

They looked back at the car. It was getting closer and closer to them. Then the moment came, the front of the car bumped into them. This alerted the driver.

"What the fuck is wrong with these guys?!"He said in rage.

There was yet again shooting. They ducked their heads as the glass behind them broke into a million pieces of shards.

The taxi driver got hit by one of the bullets in the head and his body was now lifeless. His head made contact with the steering wheel, blood dripping out.

Nick screamed. Alex wanted to vomit at the sight before them. The car began to lose control.

Alex made her way to the passenger seat. She grabbed the body and tried to transfer it to her place so that she could drive. Luke helped but time wasn't with them at this moment.

The cab crashed into a cafe. Fortunately, there were no casualties.Alex's head hurt from the impact. Nick felt thick liquid pour out his nose. Luke in the meantime was still okay.

"Are you guys okay?"

"Yeah."

"Come on. We need to get out of here fast."Luke said. He opened the car door and he was face to face with a gun pointing at his head.

"You."He referred to Nick. "Be a good kid and come out of there." Scared, he crawled out of the car and stood beside Luke.

The man's companion went to the other side also holding a gun. He opened the door and Alex brought forth her leg, kicking him in the stomach. He fell back but composed himself fast and grabbed Alex by the hair. He dragged her outside with the others.

The men readied to shoot but before they could do so, a familiar car came at lightning speed and drifted. It was just meters away from them. The three covered their noses with their arms from the reason of the smoke and dust emitted during the process when the car turned sideways. They couldn't see what really happened to the men pointing guns at them but they could've sworn that just as the car turned sideways, its window from the passenger side rolled down and a hand holding a gun emerged and shot the two.

The smoke settled and they weren't wrong. On the passenger seat was Sonya holding a gun and on the driver's seat was Ethan, looking calm yet uneasy.
