The Mistake | Colby Brock

One Thirty Eight-Jackasses

Jordan's pov
  We pulled up behind the warehouse- garage- whatever you wanna call it. And i was first to jump out, i knew they were here, i could feel their forced energy burning into my head, and i almost felt bad for how much Kat and Devyn felt. "I'm going in." I said, walking pat everyone. They were doing who knows what, talking about whatever. But when was the last time i actually listened? The correct answer is never. That's how stubborn i can be. "Woah, leaving so soon?" Colby stopped me, standing in front of me. "I'm not going to stand around until they find us, so yes." I said, moving past him. He didn't stop me, which i was grateful for. He knows not to, by now, shocking. As i walked closer to the door, something didn't feel right. And almost as if i called it, my body jolted to the metal pole nearest to me, clasping me shut against it. I groaned, and watched as Colby gave me the most innocent smile he could as he skipped over to me. "Seriously? Using my own weapon against me. Not cool dude." "It was smooth, wasn't it? You didn't even notice for once!" He teased, poking my shoulder. I rolled my eyes, but couldn't help the small smile that turned my lips upwards, making Colby smile with me. "We just need to finish going over the plan, that's all." Sam said, as the gang jogged over next to us. "Well fuck why didn't you just say so?" I asked, just as i ripped myself from the metal, then blasting it in its spot, leaving a hole on the pole. "How did you-" "Dont even question it at this point." Colby cut off Aryia, who's mouth was dropped open. "What? It's my gadget, i know how to work it." I chuckled, making the group laugh. Colby handed me back the button i detached from my sleeve that actually activates the magnet itself, and i stuck it in my pocket. "Okay, so i say we all take a certain category of the area, like stealthy." Sam suggested, as we huddled together. "Okay, but what if they find us instead of us finding them?" I asked, crossing my hands over my chest. "Then we beat their ass." Jake said, just as Tara slapped him. "No, no he's right. They had a chance to talk and instead they took out Brennen." Colby said, his eyes burning with hatred all of a sudden. "Okay, then we need someone to stay here with Brennen, just in case." I said, just as i snaked my hand down to Colby's, his body loosening up to my touch, making me feel a bit better about this whole thing. "I'll stay." Devyn said, shocking me a little. "You sure?" I asked, looking at her nervously. "Yeah, maybe even i can wake him up if you need him." I nodded, and looked around the group for a moment. "I'll stay with Devyn then." Corey said sternly, crossing his hands over his chest. We all nodded, and took a moment to process everything. "I'm going after Britney." I said, my hand leaving Colby's for a moment before he reached up to grab it again. "What? No way i am." Reggie protested, making me furrow my eyebrows. "Dont argue with me, i can handle it." I defended. He kept his gaze in mine, and for a moment we were going hand in hand, our eyes burning into each other's. And he didn't look away until mine flashed, but i didn't control it, it just came. Even Colby tightened his grasp around my hand, letting me know. "Fine, but i'm going with you, and Cassie, just in case you need back up." I smiled, and nodded. "Fine by me." Jake let out a huge exhale afterwards, making everyone look over at him weirdly. "That was intense." He said, holding his chest. We laughed, the air thinning for a moment. "Tara and I will go bottom right side of the building." Jake said, throwing his arm over her. "I'll go with Aryia, we can check mid and bottom left." Kevin said, throwing his arm around Aryia the same way Jake did to Tara. I smiled at them, admiring their friendship before turning to the rest of the group. "Okay, so that leaves Colby, Kat, and i, how are we going to make this work?" Sam asked, turning to Colby who thought for a moment before answering. "I can go alone, you go with Kat." He said, making my eyes widen. "I'll go with you, Colby. Cassie and Reggie could make sure everything's cool, and i can just teleport to them if they need me." I responded quickly, and i kept my eyes onto his, like he was debating with himself if he should let me go with him. But hell, i wasn't going to let him go alone. Something about that didn't give me a good feeling, and i didn't want to risk anything with him. "Okay, you sure?" He asked, his face softening with mine. "When am i ever not sure?" He smiled shorty, but he nodded, making me nod back. "Okay, ready?" Sam asked, snapping us both out of our own little reality. "Yeppers." I said, throwing my hand in the center of us. We all threw our hands in, Reggie going last. "Wow look at us, a bunch of jackasses holding hands behind a building of killers, how romantic." "Very romantic if you ask me." I chimed in. "Jordan your definition of romantic is holding hands with your boyfriend." Jake said, making some of us laugh, others holding in our laughs. "And? Holding hands with Tara isn't romantic to you?" I asked, making Taras mouth drop open. "Jake!" "Oh shit." We all laughed, before Colby leaned down closer to me, and just for a moment, i blocked our conversation off. "Well played." He smiled. "I wasn't going to lose an argument with Jake." I said, making him nod. "Sometimes i just give it to him, they say it boosts confidence." I snickered, before letting go of the blockage i made. "I'll keep that in mind." He looked away for a moment, before glancing over to wink at me, sending me into literal fits. Jeez, this man has me wrapped around his finger. "Okay can we go now my hands getting sweaty!" Reggie exclaimed, as he started to fake pant. "I like it." Aryia said, winking at him. We laughed, before deciding to break. "What do we break?" Sam asked. "Well we don't really have a team name yet." Kat said. "That's going on the to-do list!" Tara said, smiling. "Okay then let's break... the jackasses." Kevin suggested. "Aye, that has a ring to it." Corey said. "Hey! That was my branch of an idea!" Reggie yelled. "Yeah good job Kevin!" Cassie said, making Reggies jaw drop. "One, two, three! Jackasses!" We all yelled, before turning into fists of laughter afterwards. Wow, i loved my friends.
