Chapter two:
Nate comes into my room and I turn to look at him seeing him in comfy but allows good movement white pants with a white button up shirt that has a white tank top underneath as an under shirt. He has a back pack on his back.
I put on my back pack. "Just like we practiced." I remind him softly.
He nods and we leave my room heading out the front door to avoid the detonators but I stay in front of Nate keeping alert for danger.
We make it to the motorcycle that was stolen then abandoned here by some random criminal a while ago.
I get him to stay behind the dumpster that's against the wall of where we lived as it is more like a small apartment. I watch the two that I noticed movements as they come back into view not seeing us. I get to the motorcycle without being noticed since it is right by the dumpster but no garbage trucks take it away as they can't because of what it is. I guess no one came to pick it up but it's ok as it gives us an upper hand. I unscrew the gas cap and dip a flammable string into it making sure to keep some of the string out. I take out a lighter from my work that I bought just in case and I light the string only to twist the handle getting the engine started and pushing it at the two I noticed.
They stare surprised at it and realize that the flaming bike that is about to explode is heading straight for them. They try to jump out of the way at the last second as the bike explodes into a fully burning bike.
I grab Nate's hand and I rush with him away from the place we lived at and away from those two. I glance back to Nate and I peek past him seeing the two stumble out of the alley way streets so I push Nate ahead of me in case they have guns on them or try to attack. I look forward again making sure nothing dangerous is up ahead as we keep running. I glance back every now and then to our pursuers to make sure they aren't catching up but they are. I growl slightly and I turn back to Nate rushing forward to pick him up bridal style picking up speed to run faster.
He doesn't complain as I carry him and keeps as close to me as he can get.
Our pursuers pick up speed as well as we continue to run.
I notice they are still doing their best to advance on us as I glance back so once I turn back to face forward I look for anyway to try to throw them off our tail but I skid to a stop when two others appear in front of us. I notice they are not detonators but that doesn't mean they are safe. I turn and race off down another street that is a turn off from the street we were on. I start to pant slightly but I refuse to give up as I keep going, I have to protect Nate!
"You two!" A familiar voice calls to us. "Hold on! We aren't going to hurt you!"
"Damn they are from Whammy's." I growl softly not slowing my pace but instead trying to pick up the pace if I can even if it means straining myself.
Nate shifts in my arms enough to move a little closer to me if that's even possible.
I tighten my grip on him, just a little, making sure it won't hurt him.
We keep running and I spot my work up ahead that is about to close so I head for it.
I make it through the door and I quickly move us into the back room where I skid to a halt panting a little from the run.
Boss comes into the room as I put Nate onto the ground so he can stand on his own. "Everything alright?" He asks.
"At least four people are following us and we are trying to get away from them." I inform him. "We had to flee from our home when I spotted them in the back streets watching our home and move out of sight when they saw me at the window."
He nods. "You can stay in the back and I'll take care of them." He then leaves the back room as me and Nate call our thanks to him.
I lead Nate to where the staff can put their stuff because there are some benches there. I let him sit down and I sit next to him. "I know you don't want to go back right now and if I can help it you won't unless you change your mind." I mummer to him.
He leans over so the side of his head rests on my shoulder. "I know thank you Mihael." He mummers softly and lets out a small yawn. He did get a small amount of rest today so I don't blame him.
I take off our back packs setting them on the floor and let him rest on me so he's lying on the bench with his head resting on my thighs. "Get some more rest. I'll stay here with you don't worry. I will protect you."
He closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep.
I gently pet his hair and I glance behind me to see if I can see Boss and the four from Whammy's. I can kind of see them through the window on the doors leading to the back but I can't hear them or even see them enough to try to read their lips. I turn away and I look at Nate's sleeping face as I continue to gently play with his hair.
One of our bags falls like a face plant to the floor catching my attention but I turn back to Nate after a second or so.
Footsteps sound behind me and I turn to see Boss coming up to us.
I gesture for him to be quiet as to not wake Nate.
He nods and talks quietly. "Mihael the four guys say they want to take you and Nate to a place that is safe for you two." He tells me.
"A place of isolation and Nate feels less safe within the walls of the place they want to take us back to which is why we left in the first place. He doesn't want to go back and I will do everything in my power to not let him be taken back to that place." I respond quietly as well.
He moves to sit on the other side of me than Nate is on glancing to Nate. "I just worry about you two especially with how things are for you two. No family left and you guys only have each other to look out for you guys. I may not know what it's like to lose your family but I do understand what it is like make a decision that may seem like the wrong choice even if it's for the best." He tells me still quietly. "I am just thinking that a place with more safety for you two may be better but of course I won't force you to go. You are still my cared for employee and not me so it isn't my choice. I'm just letting you know that it might be a good idea to go to a place that is safer."
"Thank you for your concern but my answer stays the same. As I told you I will do what I have to so I can protect Nate. He doesn't want to go back and so I'll do what I can to make sure he stays where he feels the safest." I refuse to back down.
He nods in understanding. "I understand. I'll let them know you guys don't want to go back." He stands up and heads back to out of the back room.
I watch him go then I turn back to Nate as I notice I had stopped playing with his hair at some point. I don't try to see what he is dreaming about in case I am needed outside of his dream world since everyone who are allowed into the back room don't know that me and him have that kind of bond not to mention they don't know what we really are. "I will protect you." I whisper under my breath. "I love you Nate River." I lean down and gently press my lips to his forehead in a gentle loving kiss. I want to know soon if Nate decides to be with me but I know I must stay patient with him as it is also rather a big decision to make cause it'll be a new partnership we share if he agrees. I will never leave him though no matter what happens. I raise my head and I look back to where I can see boss and the four from Whammy's talking in time to catch a warning glare from one of them before the four leave.
Boss comes back into the back room and approaches me. "They're gone. Are you able to go back to your home?"
"Home is where the heart is and my heart is with Nate. The house in which we lived in is something we cannot go back to with those four on the hunt for us." I inform him.
He nods. "I see. Well there is a place I can offer until you two can get back onto your feet." He offers.
I tilt my head softly. "Where?"
