AN: This is my first ever story to have written so I hope you enjoy it.
Red sighs as Lizzie laid her head on his shoulders. This was a tense moment for both of them having to flee from the Cabal and the FBI but in that instant Red feels the release of the weight he's been carrying after all these years. But he can't help but feel anxious over the fact that Lizzie knows the truth and he knows firsthand how something like this would surely bring her nightmares.
"What's our plan Red? Where are we going?" Elizabeth says without removing her head form his shoulder.
"Cuba, I have some associates there who will be of great value to us while we let the heat die down." He says, while stifling a yawn.
"This is really it." Elizabeth thinks to herself. She would most probably have to be on the run for the rest of her life and the thought frightens her.
As if Red could read her mind he says, "We'll be fine Lizzie, I'm not going to let anything happen to you."
Elizabeth nods and adjusts her head on his shoulder. "Why don't you close your eyes and try to rest Red? I can tell that you're tired. And relax, you're as stiff as a rock.
Red moves his arm around her shoulder for her to feel more comfortable. "Is this alright?"
"Yeah, now rest." She says as she pats his thigh.
He closes his eyes and slowly drifts of to sleep.
Raymond wakes up to the sound of planes landing and taking off which means that they are near their destination. He looks to his side and finds Lizzie sleep peacefully near him. She looks tired and has some minor bruises on her face but she still looks beautiful. He can't help but inhale her scent and anger rises up in him as he remembers that she spent the night with Tom. But that's something that they will have to discuss later, when she is no longer in shock.
As they arrive at the tarmac where his jet is parked he shakes her lightly to wake her up.
"Lizzie, we're here. You can sleep some more on the plane."
She wakes up and rests hear head on her seat.
Raymond exits the car and opens the door for her.
"Let's go" he says with a tired smile
He helps her get out of the car and supports her body with his hand as they climb the stairs to his jet. It took them a while to board and he thinks that she may be more tired than he thought.
"It would take about 3 hours for us to reach our destination so in the meantime you better get some sleep." He says as he leads her to a couch.
He gets up and asks a stewardess to get him some scotch and Elizabeth a blanket and some water.
He then proceeds to give orders to his pilot.
As he returns to Lizzie he is holding a briefcase which she assumed has something to do with their plans.
"We'll take off in two minutes, get some rest. I will have to read up on a few things and iron up some details for our plans"
"Will you tell me what our plans are?"
"I'll tell you about it after we arrive there and got some rest." He replies.
She drifts off to sleep as they took off.
