Young and On The Run
II

The AC was broke, no it just felt like it was broke, he could hear it trying to work, the gears and fans spinning and grinding and crying. The radio down the street was talking nonsense of it being the coldest week in July this run down town had for a long time. It was obviously hot. Matthew was curled up on his bed dying of the heat that was supposed to be chill. It was utter bull, what the man was saying. He flinched as the neighbour turned the dial and he covered his ears.

Everything was loud now, everything. He was suddenly aware that the house across the way had termites and the occupants were currently participating in a round of horizontal tango. He slapped his hands over his ears as the noise of the showers running and toilets being flushed roared heavily in his eardrums. He made the mistake of opening his eyes and he could see everything before him. He didn't need to see the aroma of his room nor the exact fine grain of his wardrobe.

A pitiful noise left his lips. The noise turned into a whine and then a wail as sharp pain from the noises and as he turned towards the window, the sunlight hurting his eyes, making him squeeze them shut once more. He couldn't take much more of this-he wasn't even sure what it is anyways!

The door to Matthew's room opened and even though he had heard it he didn't even bother to acknowledge the unknown person. A dip in his bed only made the young male gasp and he was forced to sit up. The blonde cried as he was forced to take his hands away from his super sensitive ears. A deep, accented voice growled something at him and he flailed to pull his arms back, wanting to cover his ears so all he could hear was the blood flowing through them. The voice's body held them tight however and he was powerless to do otherwise.

"Matthew Williams, come back to us, focus on in this room." The voice boomed and Matthew whimpered. He tugged his hands once more and this time the strong force holding them there let go. He curled up once more and whimpered. The voice barked a command, so there must be another person in the room. His ears reached out and clung to the two heartbeats they found.
The hearts disappeared as new hands pried his hands away and his ears were covered by something warm-hands that weren't cold like death or his own, it was just warm. The hands moved so they could wipe the threatening tears away from the closed eyes. "Matthew, let me teach you how to listen, not hear."

The voice was just as warm as the hands, if not more. It dawned on him that that was all he could hear, the other's voice, not the neighbour and they privite time, not the termites or the sewers, just this man and his warm voice.
"Let me teach you how to view and not see, to love and care. Let me teach you those, all you have to do is come with us...Come with us, Matthew, okay?"

Matthew relaxed into the hold of Alfred as they settled down for the night. Their boss was happy with them, very much actually. The Boss was quick to point out they couldn't stay around much long after the last heist as there wasn't much more he could do to protect them other than using his means to alter the film. The boss suggested they use the money they were left over and move to North Carolina. Yao agreed that would be wise and then ushered the younger members of the group to bed. Matthew felt Alfred pry the headphones off and take off the glasses. He closed his eyes and relaxed. They all slowly fell into the arms of slumber and only awoke when their tummies demanded sacrifice in the mannerism of food. Alfred started to cook the last of their eggs when Matthew snuck up on his old friend and stole some of them to make pancake batter. That's what Yao and Ari woke up to.

After the meal and picking out what small town they wanted to bunk in to await their next mission from their boss, the four packed and picked and cleaned up the warehouse. Soon there was no evidence of them being around and the tags on the van were changed to a new North Carolina plates and they were off.

Yao offered to let Ari ride up front with him and the other brunette agreed, one because she enjoyed the company of the Asian and two because she didn't want to get between the snuggle bunnies in the back seat.
"Onward to N.C.!" The sole female ALPHA proclaimed as Yao turned over the engine and off they went.

Jacksonville, North Carolina. It was a city build over the Wilson Bay, and much like its sister city in Florida, was named after the great Andrew Jackson. It had a bay for Ari and there was large apartments that would be tall enough Matthew would only have to worry about radio signals and airplane traffic if his ALPHA ability went out of whack.

The four poked their heads around after parking in a community parking lot. Soon they met back up and picked a make due home. They would would rent one with furnishes already around so they didn't have to worry about packing up on short notice. Yao and Ari signed on the deal as a newly wedded couple and obviously false names.

They were now ready to spend the rest of their month or so like normal people.

Woah moan, is this another chapter? Welp, tell my any flaws, praise, opinion, moments or anything in particular!

Still trying to figure out who the boss is? Tell me who you think it is!

Filler chapters for the win! Or lose, or neutral.
