A/N: Hi again. I will try to update once a week. Thank you for the review. Haha yeah thank you for noticed it. My mistake. If anyone would like to be my beta I really appreciate it. Anyway, last Friday the sudden announcement about Sara's departure really made me sad. Callie was my fave and I started to watch Grey's because of her. I hope it didn't stop me to continue writing this story. Let's continue the journey~
~ASSASSIN'S LOVE~
**CHAPTER TWO - WHO AM I?**
'Prang!'
All four people in the room jumped seeing a sudden outburst coming from their leader. April, Cristina and Owen stared at the broken vase and red roses that spread all on the floor after had been thrown by Addison. A part of Addison felt regret throwing the vase to the floor because those roses were given by her lover Callie a day before she went for her group's mission, but now she really mad with the news of her missing girlfriend. Alex didn't dare to look at the red haired woman in front him. Addison was really scary when she was pissed off and he never thought about that fact before making his plan to get rid the Latina off from this world. The woman never hesitated to pull her trigger if someone had made her mad. She either made them suffer or killed them without giving them a chance to explain. And now only Alex and his two men knew what had happened to Callie, but he will never tell his leader about it.
"What the fucking had happened here?" Addison asked in yelling tone. "Answer me, Karev!"
April, Christina and Owen had been the team leader just like Callie while Derek still out there for his solo mission. Alex was Callie's second man and Addison had made him to be in the same room to tell the real situation in front the other leaders. It was a wise decision she had made because if she was alone with Alex, she might kill him by now. They just back from their unsuccessful mission last night and brought up the news of the missing Latina trying to cover the real situation.
"We - we were split into individually and once we in our position we saw Torres was bleeding and was carried by Stevens' bodyguards. They took her away and we lost her," Alex lied. He hoped his cover up story will help.
The red haired woman trying to read Alex's expression and she could see something was off about him. She decided to walk closer to the man and pulled out her gun from her lower back. The clicking sound of the gun from the woman made Alex gulped. Yesterday Callie had almost killed him. The flashback of Callie shot his gun instead of his head bugging him with lots of questions. Callie never missed her targets and was Callie really had no intention to kill him after what he had done to her? He didn't know. He knew Callie never pull her trigger to her colleagues but she never thought twice about killing her targets and enemies. He thought he was her enemy. And now Addison had shoved her gun under Alex's throat. The young man could see the anger in those grayish eyes.
"Now Karev, give me a reason why would I trust you?" the taller woman questioning him. "You never like her. You were jealous of her. And now give me a reason why would I trust you?" Addison repeated her question.
"I…" he stammered.
"Answer me!" Addison yelled as she shoving her gun hard against Alex's throat. Alex shut his eyes tightly and just waited what the woman wanted to do to him. The red haired woman tried to warn Callie about this guy, but her lover told her everything was fine. "You killed her don't you?" she questioned his intention.
Alex's eyes went wide. "No -"
"Don't lie to me!" Addison cut him off. She moved her gun off from Alex's throat and swung it to her right. The loud sound from her gun filled the room and made the other four jumped when they saw Addison's shot hit the empty of glass on her desk without even gave any glance on it. Alex shivered at the sight. It could be him if the woman pulled the trigger on him. Brought back the gun against Alex's throat and shoved it harder. "Give me the reasons why I shouldn't kill you now?" she whispered in a threatening voice.
"T - Torres…"
Before Alex could say anything, the room door suddenly burst open. Three pair eyes looked at the old black man at the door frame who was looking in Addison's direction while Alex just closed her eyes. "Montgomery…" Richard called out for Addison.
Addison doesn't move hearing her godfather's voice calling her name. Her angry eyes still looking at Alex with her gun still at the man's throat. She really needed to kill this man now.
"Addison Montgomery! Drop the gun!" Richard raised his voice. "Now!"
The red haired woman knew Richard really meant it. She looked at Alex for the last time before shoving him off from her grip. The young man stumbled backwards. "Damn it!" Addison yelled as she walked to her desk facing the outside window. She took a deep breath to cool her down and threw her gun on her desk.
Richard gave a silent command to the other four to leave the room and they nodded understanding. Owen waited for Alex to make his way out before he walked right behind him. But before Owen made his way out, Richard patted his shoulder to stop him. "Get your men to find Torres," he told the blonde guy. "Find out more info about Izzie Stevens and ask Yang to go with you."
Owen nodded. "Yes Sir," he said before walked out from the room and closed the door behind him to give privacy to Richard and Addison.
The black guy turned to look at his goddaughter. He had let his goddaughter to run the organization for him while he tried to focus on other business, but as he heard the news about Callie from Derek, he knew his girl need him. "I heard…" Flying from New York to Miami as soon as he heard the news, he arrived at the right time before his girl started to kill everyone around her or she got killed instead. Sometimes Addison could be too emotional and only Callie could make her being reasonable in making decisions. But now, it was about Callie. She had a reason to be emotional, but they were assassins. They shouldn't start to love and care for other people.
Moving closer he could see the woman's shoulder shaking from crying. "They killed her…" Addison said in sobs.
Richard stood behind her and placed his hands on the woman's arms, telling her that she was not alone. "You didn't know yet, dear. She may be out there fighting for herself. I don't think Torres will give up that easily."
Addison finally spun around to face her godfather. Her teary eyes made contact with the brown eyes. "I can't believe with what his team told me. Karev always tried to harm her since the beginning. She would not suddenly disappear like that. She can handle a bunch of enemies just by herself before. There is no way they caught her…"
Her words were cut off when the older man pulled Addison into his embrace. Addison couldn't stop her tears from the continuing fell out from her eyes. Richard's heart hurts seeing his girl this broken. The red haired girl always be a tough girl, but when it was about Callie, she will be emotional and weak. At first he doesn't like the idea about his goddaughter dated her co-worker, but Addison was so happy with Callie in her life and he wouldn't want to change it. Richard hand moved up and down behind the girl's back as he whispered, "Hope Hunt and Yang will get some news about her."
Brown eyes blinked several times, trying to brush off the sleepiness that still burdening her eyes from to fully open. Callie winced slightly as she finally felt the pain and sore around her body. She had no idea where she was, what had happened to her that made her body had this whole pain. Her eyes staring at the ceiling fan above her for a few seconds trying to remember anything but all she got was a headache. She pushed her body slowly off the bed trying to push away the pain before leaned her back against the bed headboard. Her eyes trailed down to her bare upper body which mostly covered by a bandage. Some part of bandage still covered by her blood. Her fingers ran to her wounded chest.
'Bang!'
The flashback of the loud sound from the gun made her startled. Her heart beats fast while her eyes staring at her trembling hand. "What was going on?" she asked herself. Everything surrounding her was so confusing. Brushing off all the questions that playing in her mind, the Latina pushed her body with full force for her to get out from the bed. As she sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes trailed down to her right leg which also was bandaged. Her body slumped frustrated with her conditions, but it never stopped the tanned woman from standing on her own feet beside the bed. Her left hand immediately grabbed the closet next to the bed to support her from falling. The pain and sore from her body made the tears start to pool around her eyes. This pain was too much for her to take. Swallowing hard, she tried to walk in the middle of the small room.
When Callie finally reached to the desk near the window, she held on it and tried to take a breath. Her brown eyes stared at the picture frames that placed on the desk. One of the pictures had the woman with the dog. Her eyes stared long at the picture of the blonde woman who was smiling with her dimples popped deep on her cheeks. She frowned slightly, trying to remember if she knew that girl. That picture made butterflies in Callie's stomach and she didn't even know why.
"You're awake…"
The stranger's soft voice who was suddenly speaking to her had made she spun around in surprise. Brown eyes met blue. Standing awkwardly at the door frame with the basin of water in her hands was the woman in the pictures on the desk. She was the real one. The beautiful woman even she had her blonde hair bun messily at behind her head. "W - who…?" Callie stuttered, trying to find the words in her question. "Who are you?"
Blue eyes widened. Callie wasn't sure if her question had made the woman in front of her looked surprised and sad or it was just her. "I - I'm Arizona," the blonde introduced herself while freezing on her spot.
The Latina nodded slightly. She blinked nervously as her mind trying to think about everything. "What had happened to me?" she asked weakly, but enough for the other woman to hear her. Her eyes dropped to look at her body. "This?" her hand gestured at herself. "Who had done this to me?" Callie questioned the smaller woman.
Arizona could see Callie was afraid and confused. It was hard for her to see the other woman in this kind of condition. She wished she could do something to make everything to become better for Callie. She wanted to hold the broken and weak woman in front her. Arizona shook her head slightly to brush off her deep thought. She placed the basin on the bed table and walked closer to the brunette. "C - Calliope…"
Callie snapped at the name as her brown eyes locked on the blue teary eyes and made Arizona stopped her pace. "Calliope?" Her eyes never break the contact with Arizona's and demanding for the answer.
"I -," Arizona tried to walk closer again.
"Stop!" the brunette yelled, raised her hand as a signal to stop the other woman and made Arizona jumped. Her heart beats faster as she felt hard to breathe. "Don't come closer," Callie said with a broken voice.
"I just want to help."
"Help?" she paused. Arizona just looked at her with sad eyes and she couldn't understand what the woman had to do with her life. "I don't know what was happening to me! I don't know where I am! I don't even know who you are! How can you help me?" Callie started to scream around and suddenly she paused again. Arizona just stared at her and it hurt her that she couldn't help the taller woman. Brown eyes looked up into blue eyes again. Arizona could read something bad from just by looking at the woman's deep eyes. Tears started to well up in the brunette's brown eyes when she realized something. "I don't even know who I am…" Callie said in almost whisper tone.
Those last words that coming from those bruised full lips had made Arizona's eyes widened. She could see how the other girl had been freaked out with her current situation and condition. From her head injuries, she never thought this will be happening to the Latina. Got multiple injuries were bad enough but lost memories it was beyond bad. The smaller girl tried again to close the gap between them.
"Don't!" she warned the smaller woman. Tears started to stream down on her cheeks as she tried to fight her feelings.
"Let me help."
"No!"
"Calliope…"
Callie tried to read the woman in front her. "Stop calling me with that fucking name!" she yelled. Her head hurt like hell. Her chest felt like burning. All the pain was too much for her to handle, physically and mentally. She wasn't ready for this. She wished all of this was just her nightmare. The nightmare she wouldn't want to remember.
"You're bleeding," Arizona pointed out.
The bandage around her torso stained with more blood telling her that her aggressive movement and action had made the wound on her chest opened. "D - don't…" Callie tried to warn the blonde, but her view became unclear. Her head spinning, her body felt heavy while her feet betrayed her and gave up giving her body the support. She tried to hold the desk, but useless. Her body was too weak. She almost fell on the floor, but Arizona managed to catch her.
"Callie! Callie!" Arizona's voice calling her, but she couldn't react to her before her view completely turned black. "I got you. I got you Calliope," Arizona whispered.
Jackson unlocked the door of his room. Today had been hell to him. He had to face Addison and if it not because of Richard was there in the same room, he wouldn't know if he managed to be back to his room again now. He had told her their cover story like what they had discussed yesterday on the way back home. As his finger switched on the light of his dark room, he saw a figure on the floor. "God," he sighed relieved and couldn't even realize when he was taken out his gun pointing to the man on the floor. Since he was an assassin, it just a spontaneous action when he sensed the dangers around him. "Mark, what are you doing in the dark?" he asked before putting his gun on his bed table and closed the door behind him. He tried to read the man who was staring blankly into space.
Without looking up to his roommate, Mark said, "I shot her…" he said weakly. His eyes dropped to his right hand, the hand that pulled the trigger that killed his best friend. He wished he could turn back the time where he didn't pull the trigger on Callie, where he shouldn't team up with Alex to attack Callie. He should be the one who protected the woman.
The tanned guy clenched his jaw. "You should stop talking like that. You want them to know about it? They will kill us -"
"I already dead when I pulled my trigger on her," he cut him off.
Jackson didn't like where it goes. If Mark couldn't keep himself together, Addison might find out about them soon. He knelt in front his roommate and gripped the other man's shoulder. "Hey, look at me," he told Mark but the blond man just ignored him. He shook his shoulder harder to get all the attention from him. "Hey, look at me, Mark," he raised his voice and finally the blonde looked at him. "No one should know what had happened a few days ago. She is dead! You can't change the fact that she is dead!"
Mark gave a hard glare to the man in front him. "She is not dead!" Mark yelled.
"You shot her dead!"
The taller guy shoved Jackson off from him and made him fell backward on the floor. He tried to fight the tears from falling out again. He couldn't sleep, he couldn't eat. The flashback kept playing in his mind. Those brown eyes kept haunting him. The meeting with Addison earlier has been horrible. Facing the lover of her best friend, telling her the fake story it was totally horrible. He almost spilled the truth in front of Addison but he managed to keep himself together and go on with their cover up story. Addison was scary when she pissed off. Killing her people randomly wasn't new to them. Had one time when he messed up in his mission and the red haired woman almost killed him, but Callie was there to stop her. Since that day, Addison never raised her gun on Mark anymore. She might have done it earlier today if she knew the real story.
Jackson leaned his back against his bed and looked at the other guy's face. "April told me that Webber asked Hunt and Yang to find Torres," Jackson told him. "They will try to search her at a Stevens' place."
Blue eyes snapped at the words. "What if they found out that Callie wasn't there?"
"Now we have to wait and see…"
Addison walked into her and Callie's apartment. Being the leader, she had her own apartment in this assassin's building. The apartment was not too big and not too fancy, it was enough for both women to stay together in it. Beside them both barely spend time at home. Callie was busy with her missions while Addison was flying around the world meeting her clients or recruiting new assassins. She had asked Callie to move in with her a year ago even the brunette hesitated at first because she doesn't want to be in Addison's shadow. But their relationship wasn't a secret. Callie finally agreed to move in with her and it had to be the best decision she ever made in her life. They had fought like a normal couple and had one time when she was too mad at Callie; she had pointed her gun to her girlfriend. But Callie managed to calm her down and she was ashamed with her action.
Her feet stopped at the door frame of her room.
"Callie…" Addison started, her finger made a circle on Callie's bare shoulder.
"Hmm?" Callie hummed with her eyes still closed. She was just back from her mission in Italy and she was exhausted. The moment she appeared in front of the apartment door, the red haired woman had attacked her with hunger and passionate kisses. She wouldn't complain about it even she was tired because she missed her woman too.
"I missed you," Addison whispered. Her lips attacked Callie's earlobe and she grinned, knowing that was her girlfriend's weak spot.
Callie smiled weakly before pushed her lover back on the mattress. Callie moved on top of the other woman where their naked body pressed into each other made Addison gasped in pleasure. Her brown eyes stared down into her lover's grayish eyes. She lowered her head and pecked the delicate lips. "I… missed… you… too," she said in between quick kisses. Even she was tired, she had missed the woman for too long. Being away for almost a month had killed them both inside.
Addison wrapped her arms around the brunette's neck and pulled her into a deep and passionate kiss. She will never get enough of this woman.
The sound of her cell phone had pulled her out from her memory with Callie. Her thumb wiped off the tears on her cheeks as her other hand pulled out her phone from her pant pocket. Looking at the caller ID, the tears started to well up in her eyes again. Her finger slid the screen before she placed the phone to her right ear. "Derek?"
