Chapter nine: So this is the villain chapter

Searing pain, that's the only way anyone could describe the way Hayley's whole body felt. Gareth felt her body stiffen and lifted off her as she held back a scream of pain through her gritted teeth. She wrapped her arm that wasn't wrapped up in a sling around her ribs. Gareth realized that he had leaned too much onto her wounds and must have caused all that pain. The pain slowly, and I mean very slowly drifted away and she relaxed her heavy muscles "ouch" she smiled to keep from crying

Gareth felt so bad "I'm so sorry Hayley I did-" he was cut off

"Don't worry about it, it's not like I'm dead" she had no idea that she had flat lined only a few hours earlier

"Yeah" he grabbed onto her hand again just to make her relax more and he could tell she did when he touched her

She looked around the room "Where's my mom? Didn't she come to the hospital?"

He nodded "She did and well we waited for a long time for you to wake up then she got a call and had to go do something I don't really remember I wasn't listening all that much"

"Just like you not to listen" she let out an airy laugh then stopped sharply and winced "do you know when she will be back?"

"I think she said in a few days" he sat down into the chair never breaking their contact

Hayley nodded then smiled at him "you look cute when you think"

"Maybe I should do it more often" he smiled back loving the wrinkle that formed on Hayley's nose when she smiled

She stuffed back a laugh then winced in pain "ouchy it hurts"

Gareth's face turned into a worried tone "where?"

Slowly she pointed to her ribs where she was shot "there"

"Okay" he stood up and then leaned over and kissed where her bandaged wound was

"And there" she pointed to her shoulder where the other bullet hole was

He made sure that he kissed it lightly so he didn't hurt her more. Hayley smiled she liked this game and now that Gareth had told her that he loved her than she could play then any time "And here" she pointed to her lips

Gareth chuckled and softly kissed her light red lips trying to avoid the oxygen tube that was in her nose that liked to be very annoying at times and like Hayley, he liked this game, maybe even loved it "fell better"

She nodded like a five year old being asked if he was five, so sure she was fine "that feel's better"

"Good" he patted her head and sat back down "You should get some rest you went through a lot today"

She raised her eyebrow. She still had no idea what happened earlier but decided not to worry about it Gareth would probably tell her later "yeah I'm kinda tired"

"I bet" he smiled and watched her lay her head back onto the off white pillow "night Hayley"

She smiled softly and closed her eyes "night"

"I love you" he kissed her forehead

"I love you too" she whispered and drifted off into a Gareth filled dream world

Gareth smiled softly and sat back down onto the chair, he had never loved anyone other than Hayley and now that she could get better he would never, never let anyone hurt her and this time he would make sure of it.

Unknown location Two weeks earlier

A dark figure stood in front of a dimly lit table where a man was tied up in a metal chair. The man was sweating profusely and panting. A few cuts where seen on his face and blood dripped down his face. He looked like he had shit his pants and was on the verge of hyperventilation. "Tell me where the package is" the voice was powerful and it belonged to a woman, a strong possible evil woman

The man almost flinched at the sound of the woman's voice "I d-don't know what your talking about" his voice cracked

A fist collided with the mans face and she could feel his teeth rib through his lip as she punched him "I know you hid it somewhere"

The man panted in pain as the crimson liquid spilled out into the cold air then onto his white lab coat "okay, okay" he spit to clear his mouth of the blood "I injected it into a patient of mine"

"What patient?" the woman asked "What patient Dr. Morris?" her voice more forceful

"Gareth" he winced in pain "Gareth Jones"

The woman pulled out a handgun and pointed towards the doctors head "Thanks" then she pulled trigger letting the bullet rip through Dr.Morris's hear and killing in instantly

The woman pulled out her cell phone "find Gareth Jones" she spoke

On the other line another womanly voice replied after a few minuets "we got him, he's in Toronto with some girl"

"Who?" she paced around the room her face shaded by the darkness "I want to know who this girl is"

"Hold on" After a few more minuets of waiting the other girl spoke "Some girl named Hayley Simpson"

The woman froze not in a million years did she think that she would hear that name again, a name from her past "Where are they staying" she managed to get out

"A hotel in Toronto, it's even under her name this might be to easy" the other voice said

The woman nodded "y-yeah, get me a transport to Toronto…I'm going to do this one by myself"

The voice spoke "Are you sure? We have other operatives that can do this"

"No I'll do this one…There's…personal gain to this" The woman placed her blood covered gun on the metal table

"Do you know this girl?" The other woman said

"Yeah" she sighed "She's my daughter"

Toronto General Hospital three weeks later

Gareth watched Hayley sleep for the millionth time. It had been almost been a week since Laura had left and well it had been a lot more peaceful then when it was just Gareth and Laura, can anyone say tense? Gareth had told Hayley she had flat lined before she woke up then he had given her his blood to save her life, Hayley was almost in shock. The doctors said that she would have to let her lung heal a little more and she would be in the hospital for a week or two more till it had. Hayley had asked multiple times where they were going to go after she was released from "the hell hole" as Gareth had called it, which received a light punch from Hayley, not that he was complaining about being touched by the woman he loved. She opened her eyes from her long sleep, two arms wrapped around her, one under her neck and the other around her waist careful of her wound, and it obviously was Gareth "morning sunshine" he joked with a big tooth smile

"You haven't gone all hippie on me have you?" Hayley looked up at him

He chuckled and Hayley felt it through his chest "nope"

She smiled and laid her head back down on his chest "I want to just stay here and never have to get up"

Gareth ran his hand through her head and unlike last time he had she did moan out loud which he smiled at "you like that?" he asked

Hayley nodded, her eyes closed as she felt his hand run through her wavy dark blond hair again and yet again she softly moaned. Gareth knew that it was her weakness and he intended to use it whenever he liked, 'how could such a strong girl have a weakness like her hair being played with it's just one more thing I can do to get what I want' he mentally laughed "Just wait till we get out of here" he playfully said

Her mind raced with everything and nothing she had never been so close to a guy not even Josh who was her best friend, which just reminded her to call them later and tell them what's been going on

Soon a gunshot was herd down the hall followed by a horde of screams then after a few minuets the couple saw a long crowd of people run down the hall yelling for other people to move. Hayley jumped at the second gunshot and her body went tense, she buried her face into Gareth's chest trying to block out the sounds it reminded her of the night she was shot. Gareth tightened his grip around Hayley careful not to get tangled in the oxygen tube or not to touch her wounds to hard "it's okay" he cooed knowing that he wouldn't leave her

She was so scared that her whole body was shaking, Gareth had never seen her like this, helpless and scared it was one thing he wanted to never see again yet he had to protect her "no one is going to hurt you, not while I'm here" he spoke again this time running his hands through her hair to calm her

It worked her body stopped shaking and she became less tense, that was until three men in tactical fighting uniforms stormed into their room waving guns in the couples face. Gareth quickly got up before all three could get in and roundhouse kicked the first guy in the face and watched him fly to the ground. The second guy wasn't going to go down like his friend and so he punched Gareth close to his rib cage, but to his surprise Gareth never flinched in pain just pulled the gun away from the guy and shot him in the knee then flipped him over his shoulder and shot him again in the arm. The third had just put his radio away and charged at Gareth. He smirked and rolled on the ground tripping the gunman and making him fall into Hayley's bed and collapsing beside it onto the floor. Gareth let out a breath "Good work Mr. Jones" a voice said.

He knew this voice it was the voice of a stranger yet he had met her before "I knew you where behind this Laura" he smirked

"Then you also know that I have figured out you abilities" Laura smiled from the door was and army of guys behind her

Gareth turned around to face her "Your not going to hurt Hayley"

Laura laughed, one that sent a bad shiver down his spine "I'm not here to hurt my own daughter, yet those men that I hired helped me get your defenses down when she got hurt"

"You hurt your own daughter, you almost killed her" Gareth was ready to pounce at Laura and rib her beating heart from her chest "I'm going to kill you" he started to charge at her but stopped when he hear the cocking of a gun

Gareth stopped mid step and looked back to see the third man with his gun pointed to a teary eyed Hayley with her face wincing from the rough grip the man had on her arm the one that she had been shot in the shoulder. "I suggest you don't even finish that thought Mr. Jones" Laura said as she pulled out her silver hand gun carelessly

"You're a sick twisted bitch" Gareth said through his gritted teeth, his hands clenched into tight fist by his side

"I get what I want" She said as she took another step towards him "now the reason I'm here Gareth is that you have something I want"

Gareth was confused "I don't have anything of yours"

She shook her head "Now you see there's the problem, you do. A few weeks back you were injected with an isotope, one that has something valuable to me inside of it" she aimed her gun at him "and dead or alive I will get it, you chose"

"What happens if I don't give it to you?" he asked almost shaking in anger

Laura shot a bullet, one that barely missed Hayley's head and ran into the off white walls "I trust that you won't chose that one, that's if you want to see her alive ever again"

"Fine I'll go" Gareth dropped his head

Laura signaled her men to get him and after a tackle to the ground and a painful yell from Hayley, Gareth was lifted up with three pairs on hand cuffs on, it took three to hold him. "May I have one request?" he asked as the men held onto his arms

"What is it?" Laura asked sounding as if she was frustrated

He dropped his head down "Can I say good-bye to Hayley, this might be the last time I ever see her again"

Laura nodded "you are right…this might be the last time…go ahead, everyone out except for you two" she pointed to the two that were holding his arms

Everyone did as she said and left the two that held his arms stayed attached to him. Gareth didn't hesitate to walked close to Hayley and lean to her face "You can't leave me" she whispered

"I know but if I don't they will kill you and me both" He kissed her lightly

Hayley turned the kiss and let her free hand caress his cheek "I love you" she whispered

Gareth pressed his forehead onto her, so close that their noses touched his breath tickled her face this could be the last time they ever saw each other "I love you so much, I won't leave you"

They kissed again but only for a short time till the guard roughly grabbed Gareth's arm and pulled him away. Hayley felt robbed, the only one person that she had got close to was being taken away from her and she could do nothing about it unless she wanted to be stuck in a hospital or probably in the morgue. Gareth struggled against the guard just to get a few more seconds in but the second one pulled out his gun and signal Gareth to keep moving or he would shoot her, that got Gareth to stop. Hayley just sat there nothing that she could do was help and she knew it but she would get him back one way or another. Only after a few minuets after Laura and her army left did the police and a bunch of doctors come into her room to check if she was okay and the police to question her, but she didn't talk, if there was someone that could help her then she knew what she had to do…call Elektra.
