Chapter 31➵Fight

The elevator's doors opened, James ran to Moritz's apartment's door, he posed his hand on the gate... Mike was climbing down the glass building, he was standing only a few feet above the broken bay window when both of them heard the sound of a gunshot.
A stressed expression appeared on their faces, Jee took 3 steps back, he knocked down the door and ran in. Mike let go of the rope for a half-second and squeezed his hands against the burning cable. He threw himself into Moritz's apartment, his hands and knees scratched by the shards of glass on the cold tile. Both men stopped dead in front of the unexpected show that was offered to them.
'What the fuck are you doing here, Mike?'
Mike pointed James with his head, Alyssa faced her partner. James walked to Mike while Aly was she uncuffed her left hand.
'James aren't you tired of always bringing reinforcements, it's never necessary!' She reproached him.
'We came to save you because, you'd not know Moritz was...'
'A murderer, rapist, obessed with the lost child and the 4 blood ties. No, no, I forgot about all that.' The blondie interrupted him.
'How did you know?' He claimed, surprised.
'Because, I'm always one step ahead of the enemies!'
'Guys, i don't give a fuck about your shits, we shoul...' Mike stopped himself from talking when he heard the sound of the door slamming.
Alyssa turned her back and pointed her gun at the intruder.
'Did you really bring Zayn?!' She yelled at James.
'No, I did.' a voice evryone knew perfecly said.
'Selena?' Mike asked 'you were supposed to stay in the car, weren't you?'
'Why did you tell Zayn about it?' James coldly said.
'Look, I didn't meaent to, he called me before i collapsed, I was out of my mind.' The almond-eyed woman explained.
'Bunch of assholes, I'd have known anyway.' Zayn told off, before walking towards Alyssa.
'Wait, since when are you back?' The blond-haired agent questioned, happily surprised of seeing his 10-years-friend.
'I've never left, bro!' Zayn smiled, he changed his direction and walked to Mike, hugging his mate he hasn't seen or hear about in 8 months.
'How would you have known Aly was here, without even coming to the club?' Mikey said, letting Zee join his loved-one.
'I'm dating Victoria Evans.' He moved his head to kiss Aly's glossy lips, but she stopped him.
'If you dare say you're dating that bitch, ill make you bleed to death.' she falsly smiled.
'So there's offically something between you twos?' Mike claimed.
'They're the reasons why I can't sleep at night.' Selena laughed.
Alyssa was blushing while Mike threw a pround smile at the pakistani.
'Shall we go now?' James said, annoyed by the actual situation.
'He's right.' Zayn said, looking down.
'What do we do with Moritz?' Mike asked.
'James and Zayn you take care of that, Sele, Mike and I are gonna prepare the strings.' Alyssa declared.
Zayn nodded as James rolled his eyes.
'C'mon.' The hurt man said.
'As usual?' Zayn gently smiled.
'Yeah...' James said, remembering the old times.

While the two men were taking care of Moritz's half alive corpse. Mike, Selena and Aly were installing 3 cords.
'Put this here Selena!' Mike ordered.
It took 10 minutes for Mike to figure out and to explain the girls how to make sure the strings were well installed.
The two men came back, without saying anything and an oppressive silence overwhelmed the whole room.
'We ain't not time for awkwardness, Zayn and James you're gonna climb down together, S...'
'I'm not sharing the rope with Zayn!' James yelled.
'Excuse me?' The Pakistani replied in the same tone.
'You heard me.' Aly's partner in crime coldly said, grabbing the cord.
'If we die tonight it'll be your fault, brunch of assholes.' Alyssa said.
'C'mon Aly, I'll go with you.' The Pakistani declared.
'No way.' She simply said. 'If you can be professional, then I'll be professional for you.'
'What do you mean?' Zayn asked, with a backward movement.
'Alyssa, you don't have to do that,' Selena whispered, grabbing her arm. The ocean-eyed woman got off her friend's arm.
'Watch me.' She said in a monotone tone, posing her gloved-hand on the black string. The blue-eyed wrapped it around her wrist and before anyone could pronounce a word, Aly jumped through the broken bay window. Zayn ran towards the hole, without thinking of grabbing a rope or anything. Zayn runaway has been stopped by Jee's arms.
'What are you thinking?' The métis man asked, awe-struck by his old-time-friend's gesture.
'Why do you care? he answered, getting off his arms.
'I'm mad at you but it doesn't mean i want you to just... plunge off!?'
'Mike what do we do, now?' Dallas worried.
'You fucking trust her!' He angrily, replied. 'Alyssa's the most experienced agent in here, she can deal with every single kind of situation and she wouldn't have jumped if James and Zayn weren't stupid douchbag; Like fuck, why are y'all always comin' after her. She could beat every single one of us.'
'But...' James started.
'There's no 'but', we're talkin' 'bout Alyssa Jonshon, here!' The blond guy claimed. 'Z you take my rope, i handle it.'
'No, for fuck's sake, you haven't did this for years!' Selena yelled, frowning.
'Let me remind you we're no more married, babe.' he winked at her.
'I'm done!' the woman raised her hands to heaven, taking one step back.
At the same time, Mike leaded off, he felt the wind in his hair and the adrenaline overwhelming his body and for the first time in 4 years, he forgot about his wife and his daughter.
This was the feeling he used to live for, the feelings he needed again.

Feet down, Goldilocks realized her fall was taking too much force and speed, so she thought back to the things Mike had taught her years ago:
'Find a spot to land in and don't think, ever. You have to be free of mind or you'll fall down'
She closed her eyes for a second and wrapped her ankle around the burning rope, Alyssa turned her wrist 70 degree left. With her other hand, she hardly grasped the part of the rope that was above her right hand. Her fall slowly stopped, she swung her legs, creating a force that helped her to throw herself onto an high concrete cylinder.
'Careful!' Someone screamed above her.
Aly raised her head towards the voice and saw Mike about to land where Alyssa was.
She didn't have time to move even a few centimeters away that the blind guy crunched her.
'Aw!' Alyssa moaned.
'I told you to be careful!' He mocked, standing up.
As for an answer Aly simply let out a little chuckle and the two blue-eyed spy continued their way down to the ground.
'Do you think they're doing fine?' She asked.
'Selena's with them... it's probably all good.'
'Probably?' She repeated.
'Zayn and James are there too.' He said, turning his head towards the building.

Back in the air, James, Selena and Zayn we're climbing down the tall building in an uncomfortable silence.
'You were married to Mike?' James said, stopping himself and raising his eyes to Selena's.
'No! I mean yes... but it's a long story.'
'Leena why didn't you told me!' Zayn added.
'Because!' She try to justify herself.
'Because what?' James and Zayn said at the same time.
'We gotta be climbing down that fucking building and we'll talk about that in the later!' The bossy woman claimed.
After they went down 50 feet James looked away and said:
'Mike has a baby with you? You're Jess? Oh my god...'
'What? No! I'm don't have a child, this would be stupid! That baby's be cursed!' Selena declared, shocked and disgusted at the same time.
'Why would it be?' The Pakistani demanded.
'None of your fucking business, Z.'
'Zayn?' James called his ex-partner.
'James?'
Both men throw each other a mysterious look, making Selena realizing they were gonna do something.
'What the f...' she started, interrupted by her two friends, swinging in each other's direction. They trapped Selena between their two heavy bodies. 'Pretty coordinated for people who are pissed off at each other.' She thought.
'What do you wanna know?' The satiny-skinned woman sighed, letting her guard down.
'Dude? Everything!' Zayn chuckled.
'Both of you are gonna have to do me a favor, whatever it is, okay?'
'Deal!' Both men agreed, satisfied that they were finally gonna get an explanation.
'So, it all started when I turned 18.'
