SLS#9# Arrow Of Seduction

Blacking Out

Brielle's POV

" Where are we going?" I asked him.

It was a beautiful evening. We could just be in the hotel room enjoying some movie not getting frozen in the chilling weather. I rubbed my hands together. Though I am very well trained about these kind of things but I am still a human. I have my limits as well and no I am not Seb. He is out of count in this.

" You will see." He said wrapping his arms around my shoulder.

I twisted my lips. This guy is turning on a secretive guy day by day. I have to do something about it. I just can't handle his secrets anymore.

" Come." He hold my hand and we walked towards the bridge.

" Luzhkov Most." I said. He nodded.

The usual single-span bridge over the Obvodnoy channel connecting Bolotnaya square with Lavrushinsky lane and the complex of buildings of the State Tretyakov Gallery, one of the main museums of the country. Actually it's a bypass. As historians convince, its name is in no way linked with the former Moscow mayor by the name of Luzhkov. Supposedly previously this area had such a name. Nothing special about it except the fact that the people calls it the Bridge of kisses. Has a specific romantic touch for the people who are in head over heels in love with each other. So, there began the tradition to place trees with locks using which lovers have to lock their love notes. Now trees are much more, a whole alley. There is also a so-called Bench of reconciliation. Nothing much interesting. But you can find it interesting.

It's more like the love bridge Pont des Arts. Just a bit twist here people locks their locks on the trees with love notes. I am not at all supportive on that point to lock a lock on the bridge. Because that bridge is a heritage for France. We just shouldn't spoil someone's heritage like that. Even they have banned it now. I am absolutely agree with that. Those tons of locks have damaged the bridge. No one will want their heritage gets destroyed. Neither they want that. I am glad that they banned it. If you love someone from the depth of your heart then nothing can destroy your love. We often see couple splitting around because they might have chosen the wrong person. But if you choose the right person then you will never ever be failed in this. At least I do believe that.

" What are we going to do here?" I asked him. " Hanging a lock on the trees?! Look, I am totally against it. I am not going to lock a lock to protect our relationship. It will remain intact if we stay faithful to ourselves. We don't have to do those silly things." I said to him in a breath.

" You done?" He asked me and I nodded.

" I am not a teenager to lock a lock there." He said and I rolled my eyes.

" Adult people also does that." I said to him.

" Those people haven't grown up. This why they do that." He said to me.

" Very well." I said to him. " Then what are we doing here?" I asked him.

" Just roaming around." He said to me.

" Just roaming around?!! Why is that?" I asked him.

" Cause I was bored sitting lazily in the hotel room." I said.

" It's freezing outside." I said to him.

" Still it's enjoyable here." He said and I gave him a flat expression.

" Let's go and have something to keep you warm." He said and we walked toward the Cafe nearby.

We grabbed some hot chocolate. He wasn't very fond of chocolates but I insisted him so he took one. I took a sip and he was paying for the hot chocolate. I turned to the glass in front of me and I found something on the glass very clearly visible. Oh, shot!!! It was a bullet. The bullet hit the glass just an inch right where Darien was standing. Everyone around was shocked with the sound of breaking the glass. I threw the hot chocolate away and picked out my gun. I looked at the direction the bullet came from. I found the opposite side of the bridge where we were awhile back. I can still try to catch the shootet if I can reach there in time. I turned and pecked on his cheek before running toward the bridge.

" Brielle!!!" He called me from back.

" Duty time, Babe. You go back to the hotel. It's not safe for you here. I will be back soon." I said before I ran into the bridge and crossed it.

People were running here and there. I tried to find out if there is anyone who looks like a shooter. God knows whom he wanted to kill. Was it really Darien or someone else!!! I turned the right but suddenly a bullet hit the pillar in front of me. I quickly hide behind the trees of locks. At least useful some way. I tried to sneak but a bullet almost got me.

" F*ck!!!" I cursed under my breath.

I took my gun and fixed the target. I shot but it was missed. Damn it!!! I saw the shooter running away from there and I followed that person. It was a totally crazy crowd of scared people. I kept my gun inside my jacket because it might scare the people. I kept following the shooter. If I get this stupid today he or she is gone. Totally gone. I took the turn but he was a bit away from me. I took the shortcut and reached the place where the shooter was going in the first place. As soon as he found me he started to shoot again. I hide myself behind the walls and shot on his leg. He fall down at once and before I reach him police came and I reached them. I was about to talk to them but some one open fired on us. Luckily none of us got injured.

I must catch them to know who it is trying to attack Darien like that. So, it was true when they said that there was numerous attacks on him before. They reached here as well. This Basta*rds!!! I gritted. The cops started to follow them and I was going with them but suddenly someone appeared out of nowhere.

" Are you crazy, Dude!!!" I said and found an angry Darien standing in front of me.

" Why are you still here? I told you to go back to the hotel." I said to him.

" You will come with me. Let the police handle this." He said holding my hand.

" No. This is my duty. I have to report the headquarter later, Darien. It's my job." I said to him.

" You are coming to the hotel with me." He said but I shook my head.

" No, I am sorry. I am not going until we get them all." I said to him. He sighed deeply.

" You are too stubborn." He said and I nodded.

" You go." I said to him. He walked towards me and hugged me tightly. I sighed and hugged him back patting his back. I felt something pricking my neck. I pushed him away.

" What was that?" I massaged my neck a bit.

" Only way to make you listen to me." He said and I looked at him weirdly.

" What have you given me?" I asked him.

" It's for your safety." He said and I felt dizzy. He came forward wrapping his arms around my waist. I felt my shoulder was aching badly. I found blood oozing out. " Everything will be ok." I heard him saying before blacking out.
