A/N: Caution! It took me a lot of time to think this through and finally write this chapter.
Chapter 11: Reunion of Ex-lovers
He could have shown any bank on the face of this planet to Father, but no, he had to choose the one which he and his friends used. Obviously, he didn't expect to get stuck in the middle of a bank robbery. He could get out of this situation very easily. All he had to do was figure out who these robbers were working for, figure out if they were allies or enemies of the British agency, execute them if they were enemies or just ask for the papers he wanted and disappear from the bank or well help them to get out of this situation without harming anyone. Easy, right?
Well, it would have been but due to a particular brunette in the bank made it way harder. Chandler scooted closer to Monica without drawing the robbers' attention.
"Hey" Chandler whispered.
"I heard you the first time"
The voice of an angel, the voice that he had been dying to hear for months, the voice of her person who is truly his for the rest of their lives, except for the tiny little fact that ran away on the day of the wedding and now she probably hates him. She should. He hates him! but his heart couldn't help but acknowledge her presence. How she sat there with her knees drawn up, with the scared but determined look in her eyes. There was a blonde woman in her eyes who kept crying. He felt sorry for the woman. But Monica, being the kind-hearted person who she is had taken her head in her lap ad let her weep on her while she tried to comfort her.
"Who's this?" Chandler asked pointing to the woman.
"None of your god damn business"
Chandler took that as a que to shut up and let the robbery happen. He couldn't do anything, Monica was there, he couldn't risk her life for stupid papers.
"You could have just told me that you didn't want to get married, you didn't have to make this huge scene. I would have understood and wouldn't have forced you into it"
"Monica, I can explain"
"I'm sure you, I don't want to get hurt anymore, not by you at least so would you just keep quiet and move somewhere else. I already have to take care of Rachel I done want to deal with you as well"
That explained a lot, the woman crying on Monica's lap was Rachel. This is just great now he has to make sure that nothing happens to Rachel too. He is definitely in deep trouble now.
Chandler tried to speak again but Monica looked at him with a look that meant that 'she wasn't interested'. So, he didn't say anything, he just sat there beside her listening to Rachel whimpering on her lap. Monica looked the same but still different. Her eyes weren't warm or inviting, they were cold, she didn't give him that smile which was reserved for him. Why would she? After all he did to her.
Chandler however didn't go back to his original spot. He couldn't, he wanted to stay close to her, there was a possibility that he may never see her again so he's going to exploit it as much as she'd allow.
Suddenly one of the robbers came closer to the hostages. He was holding a AK74-GP30, two shots from this gun in the right place in enough for a one-way trip to the underground. He pointed the gun at the hostages. Chandler felt Monica grabbing his hand and ducking her head in the cavity of their shoulders.
The gun man was pointing the gun one by one at each hostage. Chandler knew that he wouldn't harm anyone, he hadn't even made demands yet and the police weren't even out yet. He was simply counting the number of hostages their group had taken. Chandler being in the same business knew there was nothing to be scared of, yet. But others around him were freaked out, including Monica. So, he nudged her head by his shoulder and wrapped his arm around her. She didn't shrug him off. She leaned into him. He was really glad that she didn't. Even though he felt like he was tricking her. He wouldn't let this opportunity slide.
The gun man then reverted back to his initial position. Everyone around him exhaled and breathed a sigh of relief. Monica looked up and saw that the robber was no longer pointing a gun at them. She saw how she had been clinging on to Chandler and sat up straight. Chandler quickly removed his hand that was around her and folded them onto his lap.
"I bet you want me dead, now that you know that I faked it all" Chandler whispered.
"You have no clue how much"
Chandler suddenly stood up. The gun man started making his way towards Chandler. Monica pulled Chandler's leg to try to get him to sit down. Chandler looked down to her, Monica had never been so scared in her entire life as she was now.
"Sit back down or it wouldn't take me much to empty this gun into you" the gun man spoke.
Everyone around them held on to each other, bracing their selves to hear a gun shot. Monica pulled him with a greater force.
"I want to use the washroom"
The gun man looked at his team member, the other guy nodded.
The gun man grabbed Chandler and pointed the gun at his head,
"Start moving"
Chandler started making his way to the back of the back. Once the guy had closed the door he turned around and faced him.
"I don't know what you want but I'm one of you"
Chandler handed in his ID, the British agency one. A little dangerous move but all the protocols they followed seemed familiar so maybe this guy recognized his agency.
"You work for Father?"
"Yeah"
The gun man lowered his gun from Chandler's head.
"Us too, come I'll make you meet the others"
The gun man dragged him out of the bathroom to the back of the bank. As the gun man introduced others, Chandler tried to register their names but is mind was busy wandering around Monica. At least now both of them are safe.
"And he is the head of our operation, his name is" the gun man went on.
"I would love to introduce a fellow agent myself, if I may" said the captain of their team.
"Yes, and you are?" Chandler asked politely even though he didn't want to know.
"Oh, I think you remember me" the captain removed his mask.
"John?"
"Hello Jason"
John raised his gun and shot.
