No Harm List

Chapter 5. Promise?

~Travis~

I made my way to the back of the base. I unlocked the huge door that was made out of metal. Once I stepped inside the sound of small puppy yips were let out. I smiled and walked over to one of the pens unlocking it.

Out stepped Dess. Dess's black fur was smooth and unmatted. She looked up at me and then made her way to me standing by my side. I smiled and her and petted her head.

Something about Tervuren Shepherds made me smile.

I felt something tugging on my pant legs and I looked down smiling. A cute puppy with a coat that looked like a German shepherd's was pulling on my pant leg lightly growing as he did so. I smiled.

Most of the puppies had already been claimed by higher members of my team. Laurence got the first pick and Cherry doesnt want one right now. Out of the 5 pups that were born this was the only one left. I sighed before picking him up.

"I'm sure Ava would love a little friend. Don't you think Dess?"

She barked at me and then looked at the door.

I nodded and carried the pup out the door going to the infirmary one more time to tell Cherry I was leaving. Then I need to check in with Laurence. Then I need to go home to my worried boyfriend.

I walked down a few hallways and soon I was at the infirmary. I made my way inside and to where Cherry was laying down. She smiled up at me from where she was sitting.

"Aren't you supposed to be laying down?"

She rolled her eyes, "Aren't you supposed to be with your boyfriend?"

I laughed, "Just coming to say goodbye."

She smiled and waved, "Wait do you have a puppy with you?!"

I nodded and smiled, "His name is Gun. Think Conor will like him?"

She nodded, "He will. Now get going."

I nodded and made my way to Laurence. I unlocked to door to see blood everywhere. I didn't even flinch before making my way to him smiling.

"Have fun?"

He nodded, "No body touches my girl and gets away with it."

I grabbed my gun and poked at the man, "He still alive?"

He nodded, "I figured that Cherry would want the last shot. So I'm going to keep him alive until she's better."

I grabbed his shoulder and nodded at him, "He's your play toy so have fun. I'm going home so you're in charge."

He nodded and looked back at the male, "Can I make it so that I'm the only one allowed in this room?"

I nodded, "Unless I need inhere sure."

He smiled at me as I walked out of the door.

I got in my car and turned on the radio setting Dess in the back while Gun rode in the front. While on my way the Conor's I went to get some takeout for us.

After getting back to my car I made my way to Conor's and got out. Locking my car before running up to his door. I unlocked his door and made my way to his room.

I walked into his room and clapped my hands five times. I looked down at Dess and gave her a hand motion to bark. She did as told and I smiled. I then reached for the T.V remote and turned it to some music. I sent him a text.

"You did so good. You okay?"

I then said some dates, "August 7th 2010. September 26th 2010. May 15th 2020."

After saying the late date I heard the rustling of things. I made my way over to the closet and slowly opened the door smiling at him.

He's eyes were red and puffy. I sighed and held my arms open for him. He jumped up and ran into them almost knocking me over. I smiled and kissed his forehead.

"It's okay. Everything's going to be okay."

I moved so we where sitting on the bed and held him. That was until he pulled away and looked down.

"SHIT YOUR LEG IS BLEEDING!"

I looked down and shrugged then looked back at him, "It's nothing. Don't worry about it all you need to worry about is you right now."

He shook his head and stood up for a second making his way back to his closet reaching in and grabbing something. I looked over smirked.

"You kept that thing?"

He looked back at me and then the closet, "What!? I like him!"

I laughed and held my hands up in surrender.

He made his way back to me holding a med kit. I looked back at the stuffed animal in the closet and smirked.

I felt him sink down to the floor and start tending to my leg. There where a few cuts there that would have healed in a day or so but Conor wanted to take care of them anyways.

"What happened to you out there?"

I sighed, "Someone very bad got away. I was scared he would come after you so I dealt with him."

"Dealt with?"

I looked down at him seeing he stopped what he was doing to look up at me.

After I didn't answer him he asked again, "What do you mean dealt with?"

I looked away from him, "I killed him. Well I took him back to base and Laurence is still taking care of him."

I felt him stiffen.

I sighed, "Are you scared?"

He looked up at me, "Not of you. Just -. You were with that dangerous of a person and you could have died. After all the preparations you made you knew that you could have."

I nodded, "If something ever happens to me. I need you to go find Cherry."

He started to shake and look away. I grabbed his head and made him face me, "Okay?"

He nodded, "Okay."

I waited until he was done patching me up before I pulled him up next to me. I kissed him gently and then pulled back away, "I'm going to be fine. I promise."

He nodded and clung to my chest slowly falling asleep.
