The Holiday.

Payback pt. 2

Flynn POV

Larry!

I kneel and touch his face, he's still breathing, pulse strong.

Thank God he fell on the rug and not the tile. I see he didn't hit his head, guess the capsule did break.

Shit.

I turn Larry on his side and go to get his underwear off the bed. What am I going to do now? I can't ...

"Hey ..."

FUCK! The voice scares the life out of me.

I freeze, then turn.

You startled me! What are you doing here? How did you get in?

"Cover yourself please."

He waves his hands and looks away. I tie my robe.

I asked you a question. What are you doing here?

"Why is he on the floor?"

I take a deep breath, and walk back to Larry's limp body. I try to get his shorts on, but he's dead weight.

Could you help me?

"You didn't answer my question..."

You didn't answer mine.

"Why is he naked?"

I'm trying to change that. Just help me, he's heavy.

He comes over, we start to get Larry's clothes on. When we roll him over I get a really good look at his healing bruise. I'm sure it's still painful.

Don't pick him up there! His ribs ...

"What you two been doing?"

You full of questions. He got hurt on Saturday ... just be careful. And you never told me why you're here ... now.

He still won't answer. We finish and put Larry's limp body on the loveseat.

I touch his forehead, and rub his cheek.

It was noticed, I looked at him a little too long.

"Hey! You good?"

Yes, I I'm fine. Everything is fine.

"Hmph. Go put your clothes on, he's not out long we gotta go soon."

Where?

"Weren't you briefed?"

Not on everything. I thought ...

He puts his hands up and looks at his watch.

Doesn't matter Miss Stallworth ... I really need you to get dressed now ... please."

I go in the bathroom and close the door.

I wish I knew where we were going ... I quickly clean up and get dressed. While I'm pulling my hair up I notice Larry's phone is charging on the counter. I put in his code, make sure GPS is on, and stash it in the inside pocket of my bag.

I open the door ...

Dammit! You scared me again, are you freakin ninja? Make a noise or something.

"Let's go."

I don't see Larry on the loveseat.

Where is he? Where's Larry!?
