A Dozen Roses(A Skylox Fanfic)

Chapter 4 White Rose

Sky POV

He appeared from the door the way a model would push there way threw curtains during a performance.

Deadlox walked with confidence and clutched the small satchel at his side. He green eye locked onto mine and he grinned slyly heading for me. I felt myself smile and lick my lips.

"Good Evening Adam." He stated as usual flicking the hair out of his face. His eyes watched me and I let out a breathe. One of his eyes was red entirely minus the pupil and the other was a normal green eye with the white around it.

"Good Evening Deadlox" I said taking in his appearance, "You look more formal that you did on the plane. Did you dress up just for me?" He grinned at my comment but something was different.

His suit was its normal black and the tie was a deep blood red with a purple stripe. It was the same he wore if he dressed up. But the only thing different I could see was the single white rose tucked into his breast pocket.

"It's always a pleasure to see you. Up close and personal." He reached out and held onto my tie running his thumb over it drawling my attention from his rose "Its green. My favorite colour.How sweet of you." I made no move to swat his hand away.

"Of course. I have to look somewhat fashionable." I paused, "so did you come to just play with my tie or something special?" He let go and stepped back looking me in the eyes.

"I came on a very special mission but you don't get to know about it." He sighed and reached into his bag pulling out an envelope. "I brought you a gift." He held it out to me and I took it. I knew what it was before I even opened it. A small purple rose petal.

Every time we met face to face he gave me one of these and told me to not loose it. I had these suckers x-rayed and metal detected and nothing strange came up. So I kept them and was slowly rebuilding the original rose they came from. I had sixteen pieces.

"Thank you. Heaven knows what I'd do without these" I shot towards him, "maybe another year or two and I'll have a finished flower." Deadlox chuckled and flashed me a grin.

"Your welcome. I must go. My dearest friend Martin should be here. Shall you walk me out?"

"I am not your escort but I guess it would be rude of me not to." He turned and headed for the door. I followed one step behind him. He did his usual and waved at Jerome who glared his way.

"Oh he's new!" Deadlox exclaimed seeing Jason. "Does he have a name?"

"That's Jason." I murmured. Deadlox looked Jason up and down before continuing to a small black car at the end of the row of cars.

"I must be off darling. See you soon Adam." He hopped in the car and shut the door. The window was tinted but down a bit. "Let's go Parks!" And the car drove out of the sight

"See you soon Deadlox." I whispered before turning back to see the others had come outside. "Back to jet."

While Deadlox drove me crazy some times there was so much that intrigued me about him as well. I didn't even know his real name! I only knew his age because he told me but never the date. Every couple months he would say it was his birthday.

I also wondered what happened to his eye. Why was it red? Had he been born that way? Some freak accident? Hell were they contacts?

Once on the plane I settled in my chair leaving those unanswered questions to settle in my mind. It clicked suddenly that Deadlox had given away information. A name.

"Jerome. Get Mitchell on the line now." I ordered and Jerome Wasted no time calling him and putting it on speaker.

"Mitch buddy i need something of you." Jerome said into the phone. On the other end I could hear Mitchell chuckle.

"Of course Biggums anything you'd ask." His tone was a fake flirty accent and Jerome's face turned bright red.

"Your on speaker." Jerome said sharply.

"Huh. I charge extra for groups." Jason busted into a fit of laughter and Tyler smothered his own against his hand. I rolled my eyes.

"Mitchell I need any and all information on Martin Parks." I said and his chuckling stopped.

"On it. Give me a second." I could hear furious typing. "Alright. Martin Parks 36 years old. Dual citizenship here in America as well as Some parts of Europe and Bulgaria. He was charged with attempted Internet hacking threw NASA's satellite system."

"Any connections to the European government besides the citizenship."

"The hacking signal came from Inner England same general area we've tracked Deadlox's signal and even shortens our search area." I nodded slowly then remembered we were on the phone.

"Thanks." I said so he could hear.

"Thanks Mitch" Jerome exclaimed and hung up. I leaned back in my chair and smiled to myself.

Eight long years and Deadlox had slipped up. Eight fucking years it took for him to slip up. I finally had some ground on him.

His whole plan would come tumbling down on him. If I ever found out what it was.
