Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 44- Calming

A knock at the door had Magnus startled awake, almost making him fall off the bed in fear. Alec caught him just in time before cupping his face and making him look towards him.

"Hey, it's okay. It's just Mark. The PI," Alec said before kissing his forehead. Magnus nodded and moved to sit on his side of the bed as Alec got up to answer the door.

"Hi. Mark Williams. The Private Investigator. You must be Alec," Mark said at the door.

"Yes, that's me. Come in." Alec smiled and opened the door wider. "Sorry to meet here and not at the house but Magnus is uncomfortable there at the moment."

The PI followed Alec through the hotel room. "That's understandable. Hello, Magnus. I'm going to do what I can to help you out." Mark smiled and reached over to Magnus who awkwardly shook his hand.

"Hello. I would appreciate it if you could." Magnus spoke quietly but smiled as Alec sat down next to him.

"Okay, so let me just run through what you've told me and see if I have it correct or if there's anything else to add," Mark said as he opened his laptop and pulled up his notes. "So, Magnus, you were abducted by these men that your father owed money to. Alec managed to get the money to bail you out but Alec was in a bad accident prior to this and after you were safe, Alec was admitted to hospital where you both stayed for two weeks? When you were in the hospital, your father and ex, who was his fiancé that you know of now, were in a car accident and they both died. Since this time, you have had someone harassing you, breaking into your apartment, phone calls, your car was smashed up, and Alec was attacked. Is there anything I am missing?"

"No, I don't think so." Magnus frowned as the tried to think. "Only that it appears my father and Camille's deaths were murders due to the brake lines of the car being cut. I just don't understand who would do such a thing."

"Oh. Right. Okay. So, I need to look into that because whoever killed them is most likely to be the one harassing you, unfortunately," Mark said as he typed some stuff up on his laptop. "Do you have any names or suspicions on who could have done this?"

"None at all. I don't even know any of my father's friends and the only ones I know of Camille's are also my friends. So Catarina Loss, Ragnor Fell and Raphael Santiago, but none of them is murderers or even capable of anything malicious." Magnus sighed.

"Okay, well I'm going to investigate them because it's my job and I want to rule out all angles. Is there anything else?" Mark asked.

"No," Magnus said sadly.

"Okay, so I'm going to investigate the murder and your mutual friends with Camille. I'm also going to look into your father's friends or associates. Alec told me your father owned a car dealership business? So I will look into that too, see if he tried to sell a dodgy car or something to someone," Mark explained before closing down his laptop and putting it away. "I will be in touch with what I find."

"Thank you for this. I really do appreciate it. I just want to be able to live my life with Alec and not have to worry about any of this." Magnus sighed and looked down.

"Well, then I best get on with my job. Also, I have done this job for many years and there have only been two cases out of hundreds that I haven't been able to solve." Mark smiled. "Try not to worry"

"I'll show you out" Alec smiled back at him as the pair stood up. They made their goodbyes before Mark left and Alec returned to the bed. "I hope he helps us."

"Me too," Magnus said quietly and cuddled into him. Alec leaned down and kissed his head as he held him closer.

"What would you like to do today, baby?" Alec asked him.
