Operation GHOST || Chris Evans

Real Life.

The door to his room clicks open as Sebastian keeps his head down.
The body moves out fast while Chris walks out of his room grinning.
Sebastian slowly leans back as the front door clicks shut, "So, what is going on."
Chris looks over at him, "Excuse you?"
Sebastian glares at him, "Really?"
Chris grabs the cup of coffee, "Just don't worry about it."
"We are roommates, I heard it."
"So then you don't need me to announce it."
"Chris, are you guys back together or just yelling at each other for fun?"
Chris drops his head, "It's complicated."
"How complicated?"
"It just is man."
Sebastian looks back at him, "What for?"
Chris doesn't answer as his phone goes off, "I gotta take this."
"Man, you gotta give me some hints or something. Like something..."
"Just allow things to happen as they are about to."
Sebastian glances down at his own phone as it goes off.

Across town, I unlock the door to the brownstone as Boone walks out grabbing me. "Oh ok, that hurts."
"Where have you been all morning?"
"I have been in a meeting, why?"
"A meeting, with who?"
"Boone, leave me alone."
"Mom is freaking out, Charles ... is back."
My heart steps when I hear him."
"He is flying out tomorrow to talk to us."
"He is dead Boone, leave it at that."
"You know as much as I do Brooklyn, Charles was never killed."
"Shut up Boone! Just shut up."
"Brooke, what the hell are we gonna do?"
"You are gonna leave things alone."
The door opens up to the brownstone as Victoria looks down at us, "Both of you, inside now."
I step into the house as Boone follows me.

Back at his downtown apartment, Chris lays across his couch flipping through the channels when someone knocks on his door. He groans getting up as he walks over to the door.
The person knocks harder.
"I'm coming!" Chris snorts at them.
He opens the door seeing Harlow infront of him. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"What the hell are you doing talking to Brooke again?" Harlow snorts walking into the apartment.
"I think just the other night, you called me crying Harlow."
Harlow turns back to him, "No, you don't get to bullshit me."
"I don't get to bullshit you? You called me, crying to me. I went and got your little boyfriend."
"Brooke is happy without you."
Chris glares back at her.
"My best friend is happy without you!"
Chris leans against his island, "Why does it matter Harlow? Why does it matter to you about Brooke and myself?"
Harlow runs at Chris as she shoves him, "She hurt for months after you walked away! She cried for hours!"
Chris stumbles looking at her, "Harlow, leave it alone."
"You walked away from my best friend! I watched her get sick day after day! I held her hand through the birth! I helped her cover up the babies! IT WAS ME! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO COME BACK AND PRACE AROUND LIKE YOU ARE WANTED!"
Chris looks at her, "Aurora and Easton are my babies. You are not allowed to tell me to leave them alone."
Harlow's eyes get wide.
"Brooke came to me and told me that she was pregnant. I was excited and thrilled. I was then placed infront of a man with a deep voice, that told me to stay the fuck away from his daughter. That if I ever come back near her, that he would remove me."
Harlow just looks at him confused.
"So don't tell me that I don't know, that I don't deserve my babies. Brooke and I .... just leave this to us."
Harlow steps back, "No."
Chris keeps his eyes on her, "You need to just remove yourself from this conversation Harlow."
"No, that isn't possible." Harlow blurts out.

In a diner near the brownstone, Sebastian walks toward the back booth as he pulls his hood down.
The waitress brings over coffee as she smiles at him, "Hey darling, what can I get you?"
"Nothing but the coffee, thanks." Sebastian grins up at her.
The waitress walks off after pouring the coffee.
Boone rubs his hands together, "This isn't good."
"You think?" Sebastian looks back at him. "You have called me. You promised me, I wouldn't be back in the middle of this."
"You? Seb, look around. We are all back in this."
Sebastian plays with his straw paper, "Boone, we cannot cover this one up."
"No this time we can't cover it up." Boone looks down at his coffee.
"Brooke and Chris are back talking."
"Fuck, I knew she went to see him."
"I thought the Aspen story was pretty strong?"
Boone sits back, "Apparently not, look around. She is back with him and running scared. Again."
"Harlow doesn't know anything." Sebastian mumbles back at him.
Boone looks at him.
"She is her best friend. She helped keep the babies from the public and from Chris."
"Are we sure about that?" Boone looks back at him.
"Harlow doesn't know about Charles. Or my involvement."
"Think she will leave your ass?"
"Listen, I am just going day by day at this point."
Boone grabs a sugar packet as he pours it on the table, "My father is ruthless man."
Sebastian slowly looks up at him.
"He is old school and he is ruthless."
Sebastian watches him, "Boone..."
"I fucked up man. I fucked up." Boone blows the sugar away from him.
