Hi Everyone!
Here is the new chapter. Enjoy!
Blaine couldn't stop pacing for a second. Tina Cohen-Chang… Of course. Who else could have done such a thing? They always got the most complicated cases. A simple criminal wouldn't have been enough. It had to be the woman who hated him and Kurt more than anyone in the whole universe. And now she had Kurt… Could things get any worse?
"Blaine?"
Probably not. Just when they had started getting ready for the attack, Burt had called him to let him know that somebody had broken into their home. Luckily, they hadn't been there, so Tina's men couldn't find him or Carole but they had been too close again. Now he had to worry about them as well. He was lucky that he hadn't sent Jesse there like Santana had told him. The thought that those guys could have taken his son… No, he didn't want to think about it. Jesse was safe with Nick and nobody could get to him. He would stop Tina, he would do it again like he had done it before, he would lock her up and make sure she couldn't get out of jail again.
Now he was curious how she had done it. It had to be someone from the agency who had helped her, just like they had believed before. But who? Damn, there were too many questions and he wanted answers so badly...
"Blaine!"
"What?" he asked in frustration as he turned to Santana.
Sure, he was rude but he was so angry. He wanted to get Kurt back but his team seemed to work against him. None of them wanted to go in there immediately like him, it seemed like they just wanted to pull him back until it was too late to save Kurt.
"We are leaving" Santana said seriously.
"Oh, really?" Blaine snorted. "I thought you were scared of her."
"I'm not scared of anyone" Santana said.
"Then what's taking you so long?" Blaine asked in frustration. "Kurt could be dead already. He might be injured, he might be dying…"
"...And we have to be careful" Santana said. "Tina knows everything about us. We can't go in there unprepared. It's too risky."
"I want my husband back!" Blaine shouted.
"I know" Santana said surprisingly gently. "And we will get him back. Tonight. We'll be fast and silent. They won't find out what's going on until it's too late. We'll get Kurt out of there. Wes got us the blueprints of the building where they keep Kurt. At least we think it's the place. There's where Tina and her men are right now, so Kurt must be there as well. Come on. I'll tell you everything on our way there."
Blaine took a deep breath and nodded. Now that was a plan. And it could work if they were fast enough. They could worry about Tina later but first they had to get Kurt out of there. And then, when he had his husband safely in his arms… He would catch Tina. No. They would catch her together. Yeah, he was perfectly sure that Kurt wanted to be there as well. Tina had gone too far, they had to stop her together.
"Ready?" Santana asked.
Blaine checked on his gun and nodded.
"Let's go" he said.
He was so glad for his friends' help. Blaine found it hard to admit, but he was so angry that he would have been careless on his own. He just wanted to go in there, kick Tona's ass and bring Kurt out of there. He didn't even think about how things could get wrong. But it seemed like Santana took care of everything with the others' help. They were prepared for everything, they planned everything, down to the smallest details and it looked like they were ready to face whatever was waiting for them in there.
They entered the building together. Wes stayed behind to take care of the cameras, so they only have to worry about the guards. There were two of them at the door but they didn't see them coming. Blaine and Santana jumped at them before they could notice them, knocked out the two men and then dragged them away from the door and tied them up behind the building, so they couldn't cause them any trouble.
"It's clear" Wes told them.
"We are going in" Blaine replied.
He opened the door for the others, holding his gun ready. He waited until Santana, Mercedes and David walked inside, then followed them and quietly closed the door behind them.
"Go downstairs" Santana told Mercedes and David. "We have this floor."
The others nodded and disappeared on the stairs. Santana motioned Blaine to follow him and they quietly made their way down the empty corridor. They building seemed empty but they both knew that it wasn't the case. Tina had at least ten men in the building with her, that was how much Wes had seen with the infrared camera. And they couldn't be sure which one was Kurt. They had searched for unmoving people sitting alone but Wes had found two. One of them had to be Kurt. The other one… They didn't know. But they had to figure out.
Down the corridor and then left, Blaine reminded himself. That was their destination. David and Mercedes checked on the other room and if they were lucky, no one would notice them before that.
"Hey! What are you doing in here?"
Too late.
Santana turned quickly to get to the man before he alerted the others. She caught him by his hair and slammed his head into the wall. The man collapsed to the ground, not moving anymore.
"Damn, it was close" Blaine said.
Suddenly, the door in front of them opened and three more men walked out of the room. They must have been too loud and now everybody knew that they were here. Shit.
"I'll take care of them. Run!" Santana shouted.
Blaine didn't waste any time. Just as Santana ran at the men, he used the little room he had to get out of their way and ran down the corridor, towards his destination. He had to be fast. They were outnumbered, that was sure, so he had to get Kurt and get him out of here as soon as possible, so they could leave the building before any of them could get hurt. He turned left and ran to the door in front of him. He tore it opened and rushed inside without hesitation. That was when he realized how much trouble he was in.
He was in a large room filled with huge machines but that wasn't what made him worried. As he took a step forward, a huge man walked out of the shadows, pointing his gun at him. Then another one. And another one. The last man stepped behind him, so Blaine couldn't use the exit. He was trapped. And there was only one way out of there. He smiled as he turned to the biggest man who seemed to be in charge and smiled.
"What a wonderful day, isn't it, boys?" he asked.
"We've been waiting for you" the man said. "The boss said that you would show up eventually."
What a surprise.
"Then she surely told you what I'm capable of" Blaine said.
Okay, he didn't look too threatening but he wanted to buy himself time to take in his surroundings. This place seemed good enough for a fight. It was huge and Blaine already saw a few things he could use against these men. Maybe killing them would have been easier but he didn't kill anyone unless it was necessary. He wasn't here to shoot these people. He only wanted his husband back.
"Come on, dwarf" the man said. "She's waiting for you."
"Dwarf?" Blaine asked back. Now that hurt.
"Don't do anything stupid" the man behind Blaine said. "She doesn't want you dead but if you cause us any trouble…"
Blaine didn't wait any longer. He didn't need more time, not that he had any to waste. He raised his leg and kicked the man behind him, then quickly grabbed the one on his right and pushed him forward towards his boss. He was as fast as possible and caught the others by surprise. None of them tried to use their guns against him, they must have forgotten about it or were just worried that they would hurt their friends, Blaine wasn't sure. He didn't even care. He quickly got away from them and disappeared behind the machine on his left, a large thing he had no idea what was used for. He had never seen such a thing before.
"Are you scared, boy?" Blaine heard one of the men.
He rolled his eyes. Sure, he wasn't that old and seemed younger than he was, but he was an adult man, father of a teenager, definitely not someone people called boy. He got up and and making sure he was still out of the men's sight, moved farther away from them. He had to wait until they parted and then get them, one by one. That was his best chance. And then he had to get out of here, quickly. If Tina had expected him to come here, she surely had a plan how to catch him. He should have thought about it earlier. Tina surely knew that he was in the city and she wanted to get him, either to make Kurt do what she wanted or to use Blaine for her probably evil purposes, Blaine wasn't sure. He didn't want to stay here long enough to figure out.
To his luck, one man walked away from the others, towards his hiding, giving Blaine a chance to get him. He looked around as the man walked towards him, waiting for the right moment. The other two couldn't see them, they were too far away. Perfect. Blaine jumped at the man from behind and pressing the right spot on the man's neck, he knocked him out before he could make much noise. He landed on the ground just in time to catch the guy before he could fall and laid him down quietly.
"Jerry?"
The other two made uncertain steps towards them but it didn't matter. Blaine was already moving away from them. Getting the other two seemed harder. He waited in safe distance until they parted but it didn't happen. It looked like he had to get them at once. Blaine looked around again and smiled as his eyes landed on the pipe lying in front of him. Perfect. He grabbed it and stepped behind the men.
"Hey, boys" he said. "Are you looking for me?"
Blaine waited until they turned to look at him and then attacked. He slammed the pipe into the man's chest, making him fall back. He didn't check on him before turning to the other one, the bigger guy. He raised the pipe to strike again but unfortunately, the guy was faster than Blaine had expected. He grabbed the pipe and didn't let go of him, not even when Blaine tried to pull it back.
"You are outnumbered, boy" the man said. "Come along nicely and I swear I won't break your nose."
"How nice of you" Blaine said, rolling his eyes. "I'm not a boy, by the way."
He kicked the back of the man's knee and pulled the pipe free from his hand. He raised it high into the air to hit the man with it, but he didn't see the other one attacking him from behind until it was too late. The man grabbed Blaine from behind and pulled him down onto the ground. Blaine groaned as he hit the ground and accidentally let go of the pipe. He reached for it again but the other man kicked it out of the way, so Blaine couldn't get it. The agent reached for the man's hands who held him in a tight grip next, trying to break free.
"Stay still."
The man above him pressed a gun to his head and Blaine went still immediately. He slowly raised his head to see how much trouble he was in. Considering that he had a gun pressed to his head, another person was holding him down and there was another one in the room who could wake up in any second, he was in huge trouble. It wasn't a big surprise, he usually ended up in such situation, but he also had his husband close to help him out. Damn, he missed Kurt so much...
"Stand up" the man holding the gun ordered him. "No sudden movement or I'll kill you."
Blaine nodded. It didn't mean he would give up, he would never give up without fight but now he had to do as he was told. He slowly climbed back to his feet and raised his hands high, so the men could see them.
"Very good" the man nodded. "Now turn around, so we can…"
Blaine never figured out what they wanted to do with him because in the next second, he heard a loud bang from behind and as he turned his head, he saw that the other man was already on the ground, holding his head in his hands, moaning in pain.
"Drop your gun and step away from my husband."
Blaine's eyes found the source of the voice immediately, not like he needed to see him to know who it was. He would recognize this voice from anywhere but he would never miss a chance to see the most beautiful man of the world. Kurt, strong and determined as always, slowly made his way towards them, holding his gun ready to shoot. The others must have found him and never leaving the scene without getting everyone out, he must have decided to come after Blaine on his own. Probably because he knew that Blaine always got in trouble but the man tried to forget about that little point.
"I'll shoot him" the man said.
"You can try but if something happens to him, I'll be very pissed. And believe me, you don't want to see what it is like" Kurt said.
That fierce light in his eyes… Blaine loved his husband more and more with every passed second. The other man must have known that Kurt said the truth because his hand started to shake, something that didn't go unnoticed by the two agents. Distraction or not, Blaine crouched down and grabbed the man's arm and twisted it, hard enough to make him drop the gun. He didn't even get the weapon before Kurt got there and hit the man hard in the face, knocking him out. The man fell to the ground beside the other one and didn't move anymore.
Blaine stood up again, breathing heavily. He looked from one man to the other before his eyes found his husband again. He opened his mouth to say something, ask Kurt if he was alright, tell him any of the dozens things running down in his mind, but he didn't say anything in the end. They watched each other for a brief moment before closing the small distance between them to celebrate their reunion with a long and hot kiss.
"I…"
"Me too" Kurt silenced him and grabbed the back of Blaine's head to pull him close and kiss him again.
"But I…"
"I know."
Kurt pushed him to the wall and kissed him hard. Blaine closed his eyes and let himself get lost in the kiss for a minute. Or two. He wasn't sure but it so didn't matter when he had Kurt in his arms again. He could die in the next second, he didn't care, but he couldn't let go of the man he loved so much.
Unfortunately, their friends weren't so careless. Blaine had no idea when they joined them, he didn't hear them come until Santana grabbed them by their shoulders and pushed them away from each other. Kurt rolled his eyes and Blaine turned to the woman as if he was ready to kill her with one look. He so hated when they were disturbed in such situations.
"I really hate to do this but we have to get out of here" Santana said. "The backup is almost here and we can't deal with so many people. Let's go!"
"We can't" Kurt said. "It's Tina. She took me. She has this crazy plan about destroying the agency…"
"We know" Santana cut in. "Well, most of it. You'll tell us everything once we get to safety but now we have to leave."
"But…"
"Later, Kurt" Mercedes said impatiently and grabbed the man's arm, pulling him towards the exit. He had no choice but to follow her.
"I hate you so much" Kurt muttered.
"You're welcome" Mercedes replied.
Blaine made sure that Kurt forgot about Tina, at least on their way back to the apartment. He held Kurt close and pressed soft kisses all over his body, well, at least those parts of Kurt's body he could reach. He couldn't wait to be left alone with his husband for a while. Just an hour or two, until they got some rest. Or the others had some rest because Blaine was pretty sure that he and Kurt would have something more important to do. Something much more pleasurable. Yeah, Kurt's hand on his ass told him that his husband had the same plans for the rest of the night.
They quickly made their way up the stairs and walked into the apartment. They had come with Santana but the others must have arrived earlier with the other car. They were holding hands as they walked into the room, both of them smiling.
Until their eyes found Jeff's face.
"Jeff, what are you doing here?" Blaine asked as he walked closer. "You should be with Jesse and…"
Jeff turned towards them and Blaine gasped when he noticed the deep cut and the bruises on his face.
"What happened?" Kurt asked with wide eyes.
Jeff took a deep breath to prepare himself for this talk. He didn't want to be the one telling Kurt and Blaine about this but he had no choice.
"I think you should sit down" Mercedes said gently.
Blaine didn't need to be told what had happened and the way Kurt looked at him desperately told him that his husband understood everything as well.

"I can't believe you let them go."
Tina sighed and rubbed her forehead. The other woman couldn't stop whining on their way to the parking lot and she was getting tired of it.
"It's gonna be okay" she said.
"We need them" the other woman said. "Both of them, is it that hard to understand?"
The blonde sighed heavily and shook her head.
"I knew I shouldn't have let you deal with this" she continued. "You screwed up once and now you're making everything wrong again."
"Calm down, Quinn" Tina said slowly. "I've planned everything. Don't worry, they'll be back soon."
"You didn't tell Kurt about me, right?" Quinn asked as she turned to Tina. "Because if he knows…"
"He doesn't know about you" Tina said. "Calm the hell down. God, I can't believe you want to lead the agency. They need someone who doesn't panic in every second minute."
"Someone like her, right?" Quinn spat, shaking her head again. "Listen to me, I'm a lot better agent than any of her lap dogs…"
"Sure" Tina muttered.
"...And I'll make her see!" Quinn shouted angrily. "I'll make her see what I'm capable of and what a huge mistake she did when she chose them over me! They don't even work for the agency anymore! They don't deserve those missions. No, they…"
"They are still better than you" Tina sighed. She stopped as they reached the car. Finally.
"And you let them slip through your fingers" Quinn said. "Great job. Do you know hard it was to get Kurt alone? How do you want to get him and Blaine back?"
"You know, Quinn, I was a great agent once. And you know why?" Tina motioned for the bulky man beside the car to open the trunk. "Because I'm always one step ahead."
Quinn's eyes widened in surprise as she leaned forward to take a better look of the trunk's content. She didn't need more than a second to realize what was going on and her anger disappeared in a blink. She felt so happy out of sudden, she couldn't hide her smile.
"Cute, isn't he?" Tina asked as she looked down.
Lying in the trunk, there was Jesse, tied up and gagged. His eyes were wide with fear and he was crying quietly.
"Like a porcelain doll" Quinn smiled. She reached forward and gently stroked Jesse's cheek. "Oh, don't cry, sweetie. Your daddies will come for you soon."
"And we'll be ready for them" Tina smirked.
