Here is the last chapter.
Olivia carefully made her way to the entrance that she had been given and saw the outline of Charlie as he went to his entrance as well. Charlie gave a signal that Olivia could just barely see and they both headed into the building losing sight of the other. Olivia scanned the small room that she had walked into and found it empty though there were drugs and knives scattered all over the place along with meth pipes, a few candles were burning on the table, the only light in the room. She made her way into the next room and found much of the same, finding no one. It wasn't until she got to her third room that she found it occupied by one man. Making up her mind quickly, she took aim and shot the man in the head watching his body tumble to the floor.
Charlie shot the last person in the room that he had entered and stepped over the numerous bodies, forever grateful for the silencer on his gun. The next room was empty and branched off to several different rooms making it known to Charlie that the building was more like a labyrinth than anything else. It was like trying to make his way through a bee hive which worked in his favor since if it were a bee hive, the leader, Big Eddie, would be found in the middle. However that also meant that he would be surrounded. He made his way into a dark hallway and almost out when something collided with him knocking him to the ground.
Lincoln looked up from the man that he had just killed, to see Astrid pulling one of her throwing knives out of another body, wiping the blood on a handkerchief that was deeply stained. She just looked up at him and smirked before nearly prancing away into the next room making him scramble after her.
Charlie pushed the person off of him and came face to face with Olivia who looked about ready to kill him and if he were honest, she was.
"This place needs better lighting." Olivia groused and got up off of him gingerly, her sides starting to hurt though she would never admit it to anyone.
"Yeah well it kind of works in our favor." Charlie said and crept forward with Olivia at his heels. They cleared a few more rooms and found Lincoln and Astrid spattered in blood, Astrid looking pleased while Lincoln looked like he'd rather face Big Eddie and all his cronies on his own then go up against Astrid in a fight.
"Where to now?" Olivia asked looking at Lincoln.
"We just have to keep moving into the middle of the place." He stated.
"Linc, we don't even know where we are in this hell hole." Charlie snapped.
"Well we can't be that far out." Lincoln shrugged and started walking in front of them.
They made their through several more rooms, killing as they went until they reached a set of huge double doors. They all looked at each other with looks on their faces.
"You've got to be kidding me." Charlie voiced first and got nods of agreement from everyone else.
Peter spat out blood just as another kick made contact with his stomach knocking him to the ground. His body was covered in deep cuts, scraped and bruises while his face was swollen and bloodied, his right eye swollen shut and his nose broken. He could barely move but would always push himself up as far as he could when the beatings stopped. Bid Eddie wanted him in as much pain as humanly possible before killing him so they would bring him to the brink of death only to stop and let him crawl his way back to the living. A blow hit his head knocking him nearly unconscious just as the sound of metal hitting the floor and something rolling sounded through the room, a loud hiss vibrating off the walls. The last thing Peter saw was smoke filling the place before everything went black.
"Peter…"
He heard through a foggy mind.
"Peter…"
He could feel something cold touching his face urging him to open his eyes but finding that only one would open and just barely. But it was enough to see Olivia looking down at him a sad smile gracing her face.
"Hey there." She said softly, her hand brushing through his hair in a soothing manner. She leaned down and kissed his cheek trying not to put any pressure on his injured body.
"How did you guys get me out?" Peter asked through a dry throat.
"Lincoln sent in a smoke bomb and they went to town attacking big Eddie and his men. I got you out of there and waited in the car with you. Big Eddie is dead and so are all of his men." Olivia explained and sat on the bed beside him.
"You shouldn't have gone after me." Peter croaked making Olivia stand up suddenly and glare at him.
"You shouldn't have been so fucking stupid!" Olivia yelled anger raging through her. "Why did you do that?"
"To keep you alive." Peter protested.
"I'd rather have died then to have seen you like this." Olivia admitted and stormed out of the room.
Olivia hadn't come back to his room since she had stormed off and since she didn't live with him, that wasn't surprising. She was pissed and he could understand that, but now that he could move without pain and could see out of both eyes perfectly fine, he wanted nothing more than to see her.
"I wouldn't do that." Lincoln commented when he saw Peter slipping on his shoes. "She's still pretty pissed."
"I need to talk to her Linc."Peter sighed and left the house going to the mansion Olivia lived in.
"Oh boy just the person Olivia wants to see." Astrid said when she opened the door for him.
"It's that bad huh?" Peter moaned.
"Oh well having the man she loves sacrifice himself to keep her safe is possibly the only thing that has pissed her off this badly so yes. It's that bad." Astrid nodded rolling her eyes. "If you feel like getting your ass kicked, she's in the dojo."
"Thanks." Peter said trying to stop his heart from soaring at the thought of Olivia loving him. He made his way to the dojo and found her beating on a punching bag. He had a strong idea that she was envisioning his face on it. He watched her for a bit until she felt him staring and turned to face him.
"What are you doing here?" She asked letting her arms fall to her sides.
"I've missed you." He admitted. "Livia you know why I gave myself up. I was prepared to die if it meant that you would be left alone."
"Do you really think they would have just left me alone after they had killed you?" Olivia asked walking away from him and grabbing a towel to dry herself off with.
"I don't know, but if there was a chance of them leaving you alone then I was going to take it." Peter said with love lacing his words.
"I wasn't going to let them kill you. I wasn't going to let them take you away from me." Olivia said looking at the floor sadly.
"Why, if it would keep you safe and away from…"
"I love you." She cut him off.
"Livia…"Peter said taking a step closer to her.
"I know that I shouldn't and that it's not smart to love another assassin but I do, I love you." She rambled but stopped when he took her face in his hands.
"You already know how I feel about you." Peter said his lips a centimeter from hers. "I love you."
Olivia closed the minute distance between them and took his lips into hers kissing him deeply and feeling him give back as much as she was giving, her arms wrapping around his neck while his went around her waist. Both wanted to take it further but pulled apart when they heard Astrid sigh. Looking over they saw the others watching them with either happy or amused looks on their faces.
"So I'm assuming that Olivia is no longer going to try and kill us when we mention your name?" Charlie asked looking at Peter who in turn looked at Olivia.
"Sweetheart?" Peter asked looking at Olivia with mirth in his eyes.
"Nah I think you guys are safe now." Olivia chuckled and saw Charlie and Astrid sag in relief, Lincoln laughing behind them.
"Dude, she threw my own throwing knives at me for saying the word Bishop." Astrid glared at Lincoln who just laughed harder until Astrid punched him in the shoulder making him tumble to the floor.
"Let's leave them alone." Astrid said after a few minutes, Charlie walking in front of her while she grabbed the back of Lincoln's shirt and pulled him across the floor. Once they were out of the room again, Peter turned back to Olivia and beamed at her.
"Move in with me." Peter stated.
"Do you really think Charlie would go for me leaving 'the nest' to move in with you?" Olivia asked and saw him shrug.
"Who cares, it's up to us, up to you."Peter pointed out and brushed his lips against hers. "Though, I'd very much like for you to say yes to move in with me."
"There isn't anything that I'd like more right now." She said and saw a huge smile grace his handsome face.
"So that's a yes?"
"Yes." Olivia nodded and let out a small squeak when he pulled her to him and kissed her with all the love he possessed.
