Brianna and I re-watched all the interrogatories the police did, maybe they'll even realize one day they have been watched! Nothing really came out, just someone says other people are in it, but no names. They didn't even called their boss, just their lawyer, how am I going to get this guy? We know who he is, Julius Brondet, but without proofs we can't do anything.
He's smart I have to admit, he controls everything and still no evidences against him, he runs the drug in the city, he's the most known, no one wants to testify against him, just few people who were left out of the circle and some relatives of some killed guy wanted to, but he managed to kill them all so..
Ethan is in trouble, big big trouble, but I know him, he's gonna close this case or he's gonna die for it, thankfully he has me to not let that happen.
Just as we thought few people came around Ethan's house this morning, they just look around, the police is everywhere around the building. I think they're studying the situation to not make mistakes, Bri had put some drone around so we can keep looking at them without me being there. I keep looking at the screen, when are they going to act?
"I put some drone around Quinn's building too" Brianna says.
"I still don't understand why they're not in the same house, it's useless to be separated"
"They don't want people to know they're together, especially those people, they didn't even send cops to her house"
"She needs protection too"
"She's the police Santana, Ethan is the target, not her" She says and I look at the screen again.
Two weeks later
No one did anything, Ethan never got out the house, the men are still controlling him and the police is always there, my dad and Quinn keep going to work as usual and I keep controlling all of them.
Tonight something is moving, I tell Brianna to keep watching the cameras, something's on, I get ready dressing my self with my suit, I have to be ready. Bri tell me everything happen while I go into the street, I drive to Ethan's house, I stay some building away. Brianna tells me that someone broke a shop window, but the police are going there, not the cars that are here, good, maybe they understood it could be a diversion. I tell Bri that I'm not gonna move from here, she tells me the police is doing fine on their own.
"San something's happening around Quinn's house, there're four men around the building"
"What?"
"I think they wanna take her, they just arrived"
"Fuck, I'm gonna go there, keep looking here and there"
I drive as fast as I can, if she stayed with Ethan I wouldn't have had this situation. I ask Bri what's happening, two men are inside the building and two are outside inside a van. I park near the building and run to her window, I don't even have the time to take the two outside, I open the window with my knife and I enter, I move in her apartment fast but carefully. Quinn is in the bathroom, I hear them walk to the stairs they're almost here, I open the bathroom door and I run to Quinn and I cover her mouth with my hand. I look at her, I don't know if she's more scared, shocked or angry, she's naked against my body, her towel fell down, she's so exposed.
"Don't scream, someone is gonna break in your house" I take my hand off her mouth slowly keep looking at her in the eyes.
"What the hell is happening?" She shouts whispering, she immediately starts to get dressed, just panties, shorts and a shirt.
"We have to go"
"I know what to do, I'm a cop"
"Yes but they're four and your gun is at the entrance"
"You can disassemble it in two seconds but you couldn't take it from there?!"
"I had to come to you first" I take her hand and I open the door but I hear them, they're picking the front door "Too late, we're gonna stay here and wait for them"
"What? Are you crazy? It's a stupid plan"
"Okay then go outside and fight them, your hands against their guns, fair fight"
"Fuck you"
"Yeah maybe later, just hide here" I place her behind the door so when they're gonna open it she's gonna hidden from them, I go to the shower and start the water turning it to the wall and wait.
They open the door and shout to come out the shower, pointing their guns to me, as soon as I open the tend I throw a knife hitting one of them in the head, killing him, I jump on the ground doing a somersault meanwhile Quinn kicks the door hitting the man behind it giving me the time to go to him without being shot. I kick his gun out of his hand and then I punch him, I punch him until I see blood, lots of blood, I hear Quinn talking to the police, they're gonna arrive soon, I take him from his shirt and throw him to the chair in the living room, I look at him, his face is not good, I opened some skin. Quinn takes her gun and points it to him, I tie his hand behind the chair and I punch him another time.
"Tell me why you are here" I shout to him.
"To make Ethan Lopez suffer" I look at Quinn.
"Tell me who's your boss" He laughs.
"You have to kill me" I move to hit him again but Quinn stops me, we can hear the sirens.
"I know you're gonna get in touch with him once in prison" He smirks, I take his collar and bring him to my face, he doesn't smirk anymore "You're gonna tell him that if someone comes near her again I'm gonna kill them all, understood?" He nods and I let go.
"You have to go" Quinn whispers behind me, I walk to the window in the kitchen, she follows me "Thank you" She says before I climb down, I turn to her.
"I'm just a silly criminal" She smiles and I leave her, I touch my ear and get in touch with Bri "Do you know where are the other two?"
"The police is following them, but they're gonna lose them soon"
"Tell me where to go"
I drive my bike into the little streets that Brianna tells me, she's making me do all the shortcuts until I can see them. I go faster, I'm driving next to the cop car, they look at me confused, I go a little forward and take my knife, I throw it to the van wheel and they start to slip in the street until the collide into a car parked on the side. I turn on another street and leave, the cops are gonna take care of them.
I drive back to our den and take off my suit, Brianna helps me, I have some blood on it, the cops are taking the men in the van and the one in Quinn's apartment to the station, she's already connected to see what are they gonna say.
Obviously nothing, they're gonna go on prison just like that, they don't even want to arrive to an accord, useless. This case is useless, no one is gonna betray him.
My phone is ringing, we look at it, who the hell is calling me? Who the hell has my number?! I look at Brianna and she shrugs her shoulder.
"We'll never know if you don't answer"
"Hello?" I lean on the desk, my phone transforms my voice automatically without the use of my earphones.
"It's Quinn"
"I'm sorry, can you wait a second?" I cover the microphone with my hand "How come she has my number?" I ask Brianna.
"Oh right, I forgot, she can call you back, she sees your number, but if she tries to trace it she'll arrive nowhere" I nod and she turns back to her laptop.
"I'm here" I say back to Quinn "I'm a bit curious and confused about this call"
"Yeah me too, I didn't even know I could call you back until I did" I stay quiet "I just wanted to say that.. Some cops are appreciating your help"
"Oh! Really? And you?" I can hear her breathing.
"I d-do too.. I told them that it was self-defence, you know, the man you killed"
"Don't do this Quinn, it's not the first time and it's not gonna be the last"
"You didn't kill the other one and the other criminals you stopped before"
"It doesn't change who I'm, yes I avoid to kill if I can, but I don't have problems with it, don't try to put me in a good place in your head, I appreciate it, I really do, but I'm no good"
"We'll see, bye" She hangs up.
"So, Quinn called you" Brianna says turning to me.
"Yeah, weird right?!"
"Weird it's not the world I was thinking"
"Stop it Bri, I told you it's not like that"
"Yes because you know who she is and even if you like her you're gonna stay away, but she doesn't know who you are and this call just confirmed that she has a crush on you"
"She can't have a crush on me, she never saw me and we don't know each other"
"You're like batman, who doesn't have a crush on him? You go around with your attitude, dressed as a badass, you chick asses and you saved her and helped her.. Why the hell should she have a crush on you?!" She taps her chin with her finger.
"She doesn't like me, she's just grateful, she's gonna get over me soon"
Said that we close the office and walk to the car, we're gonna follow the situation from home. I really need to rest, tonight so many things could have gone wrong, what's gonna happen when they're gonna attack them both at the same time? They have to put them together, just fake that Quinn is one of the cop who has to look after Ethan, I don't care, they just have to.
She called me to thank me, but she already did, what if Bri is right? Should I keep distance before it even starts? I can't get close to Quinn, she's my brother's girlfriend and I have precedents.
A month later
Things were different this month, I convinced Quinn and the captain to put them in the same house, it wasn't easy and talk to my dad was so weird. In the end they understood that it was the right thing to do, Brianna is still tracking the drugs and everything, she managed to arrive at some address, we printed everything for the captain. He's still adversed about this collaboration but he's trying to keeping it to him self since we're doing this for his son.
I didn't do much this month, the police handled everything fine, I would like to think people know I'm here so they stay out of trouble, but my sixth sense is telling me otherwise. I think something is moving in the dark, I think our man is plotting something and I'm not gonna like it, no one is gonna like it. Quinn didn't call me again, but we saw each other some times when she was in service, nothing big, I tried to avoid her, not wanted to be rude but sometimes I had to.
"Oh my God San come here!" Brianna says.
"What?" We're in the house, it's morning so.
"They're fighting because of you"
"Who?" She turns her laptop and I see Ethan,Quinn and my dad on the screen "What the hell? You have audio on them?"
"Yes but I never listen for privacy you know! But this time they seemed really upset so I was curious"
"When you say about me, you mean the girl with the mask right?"
"Did you reveal yourself?" I shake my head as no "Then of course I'm talking about the other lady!"
"Don't be a smart ass!"
Apparently she's fighting mostly with Ethan about me, he doesn't want my help, a vigilante, he finds it stupid and against the rules. My dad it's on his side but since it's so hard to solve this case he's accepting the situation, but Quinn on the other hand is defending me and Ethan hates it. Not to say how mad he gets when she tells him I came into her house, he keeps telling her I'm dangerous, that I could plot something against her, ehy sorry to have saved your girl! They went on and on for awhile until Quinn puts her feet down and tells him he has to stick with it. That's why I like her!
"Ehy look at this"
"Bri I don't wanna hear them anymore"
"As funny as it was I'm working, look here, this is weird" I sit next to her and look at what it seems some bank account.
"What am I looking at? You know I don't understand these nerd things"
"Ehy!" She pushes me "These are some bank account movements, they all happened together, same time and same price" She opens pages and pages of people's accounts.
"How did you even find out?"
"I hacked the city?!" I look at her proudly "Anyway the money came from the address I found out days ago, I think he's paying all these people to do something, I think it's time to call Quinn"
While she prints all the papers I send a text to Quinn telling her to meet me at the park, the captain too, I need them both. As usual Bri follows them so I know it's safe to me to meet them, I hide above a tree and wait. When they arrive they start looking around, but there's still some people around, we'll wait.
"Are you sure she's gonna be here?" My dad asks her.
"Yes, she sent me the photo of this place"
"I'm not comfortable with you two texting"
"Because she's dangerous" She says annoyed.
"She's a criminal Quinn don't forget it"
"He's right miss Fabray" I say getting down the tree, my dad points his gun to me "Are you gonna shoot me?" He puts it in his holster.
"Why are we here?" He asks.
I gave them the documents and explain to them that it's all linked to the famous address, these are all unnamed bank accounts but still in the city so I tell them to be careful and not to move alone because it could be a trap. He asks me how I found out but I just say I've my ways, it's better if no one knows someone is helping me. I jump on the tree again while they walk away, but then Quinn comes back while my dad goes on, she turns to see if the captain went away and stops under the three.
"Did you forget something?" I ask her.
"No, I wanna talk"
"Are we friends now?"
"Well I'll be the lame one to frequent someone who never left the ComiCon don't you think?!" I laugh.
"Shut up! What do you want?"
"Get down" I look around and no one is here, just us, I jump down and lean on the tree "You confuse me"
"In which way?" I smirk to her.
"You're bad, but you act as a good one mostly, why? Which side are you?"
"None, I don't have sides, I'm not good or bad, I'm who I am, that's why you should listen to your captain and stay away from me"
"I won't" I look at her, she comes closer "Everyone say you're bad and that I should stay away, you too, then why you're here? Why help the city? The cops who want to take you down, and why help me and talk to me when you said I should leave you alone?" I was gonna say something but she interrupts me, she comes even closer, we're almost nose to nose "You don't want me to leave you alone" Shit she's so good, why do I have to put my self in these situations?
"Don't do this" I say.
"Or what? What are you gonna do?" She puts her hand on my chest and I take a deep breath, I don't know what game she's playing, or if she's even playing one, but I can't let her win.
"You don't know what I'm capable of" I say softly while I lean on her, my mouth to her ear, her hand falls to her side not touching me anymore "You know what they say? Who plays with fire gets burned"
"Would you? Would you hurt me?" She whispers.
"I will, even if I don't want to"
And with that I walk away, shit what the hell she does to me! I really had to control myself to not take her and kiss her hard, that girl is really something else.
Hello, thanks for the reviews, anyway burglover421, what happened to Brittany and the boat was an accident and it will stay that way, I don't know if I'm gonna "get her back" someway, I have to see how the story goes. You'll see what happen with Ethan later in the story.
Quinn is definitely warming up about the masked girl!
