Hello, finally you will get to know what happens! This part is quite dramatic but please don't hate me, it will be cute as well. I hope you will enjoy it and stick around for next part. Thank you for reading this and reviews makes me super happy.
"Seems like that, Smythe." Kurt replies and pushes the door open and then turns around so he is facing the officer. The smile is even more stupid than he imagined but he holds back the urge to say anything about it since this isn't the time to upset him.
"You just couldn't stay away from the thrill of danger, could you?" Smythe says as he slowly walks closer.
"Did you expect me not to show up?" He says and sounds way more comfortable than he feels.
"I have to admit that you've got a point there, I would have been a bit disappointed if you didn't show up here."
"I couldn't disappoint an officer, could I?" He replies in a bit mocking tone.
"I wouldn't be use that tone if I were you." The officer almost growls as he stops less than a meter away from Kurt. Their little conversation gets interrupted before Kurt gets a chance to reply by the sound of an elevator stopping on their floor. Both the men turn their attention to the doors opening just to see Anderson carefully get out from it. He must have felt the tension in the room since it seems like he really doesn't want to be there. At least until he sees Kurt.
"You… You've got him." He says and once again he doesn't seem to believe what he sees.
"Of course I do, did you expect him to get away?" Smythe snaps at his assistant and while the shorter man tries to defend himself from the verbal attack Kurt sees his chance so he carefully starts moving towards the door. He can't believe how lucky he is that Smythe seems to be so moody. He actually manages to get so far that he has tied the rope again his waist again before the annoyed man discovers that he's gone.
"Stay still or I'll shoot you." He yells and pulls up a gun from the inside of his coat.
"Sebastian…" Anderson says in chock and tries to make the man calm down.
"Shut up, Anderson." He growls in respond but Kurt is already up on the tightrope to prevent that he gets followed. His heart is beating like crazy and when he looks at Smythe's face he starts to think that this is it. This man will shoot him and everyone will find out about his true identity.
Of some reason he starts to think about his dad and Carol. They don't deserve to go through losing another family member and he wishes that he could get a chance to say goodbye to them. Then he suddenly returns to reality by the sound of a helicopter. He almost starts to get his hopes up again but it's all gone again when he turns his attention back to the man pointing his gun at him.
"Goodbye, Phantom." He says with a big smirk and Kurt closes his eyes but to his surprise he hears the gun fire but no bullet hits him. When he opens his eyes he meets of a sight he truly didn't expect. Anderson is pushing Smythe's arm in another direction so the gun isn't pointing at Kurt anymore but before he gets time to react to what just happened a rope is coming towards him. It's hanging from puck's helicopter so he quickly loosens the rope that kept him to the tightrope and takes a tight grip of his escape and within just a matter of seconds they take off.
Before he starts climbing he can't resist looking behind them. He turns his head just in time to see Smythe hit his assistant and then point the gun towards the escaping criminal. This makes Kurt hurry up the rope and then throw himself into the helicopter gasping.
It takes almost 20 minutes before his hands stop shaking and by then they are soon about to arrive to Puck's mansion.
"Hummel. Seriously, are you alright?" Santana asks him for at least the tenth time since he landed on the helicopter's floor. He has never heard her voice this concerned before and usually he would reply with some witty comment but right now he can't bring himself to do that so he just nods as reassuring as he can.
"I'm fine, I guess it's just the chock or something." He says which seems to make her calm down since it's the first time he actually replies with a full sentence.
"I'll fix a chock-blanket for you as soon as we're there." She says with a careful smile and when he chuckles a little at the comment she seems to return to her usual self.
"This is your Captain speaking. We're going down for landing at the Puckerman mansion's roof in a couple of minutes so please fasten your seatbelts, Ladies. On behalf of the one-man crew I'd like to thank you for choosing Puckerman Air this evening." Puck says until Santana interrupts him by saying something about that he should focus on the landing instead of playing pilot.
"As you wish, my lady." He replies and now Kurt can't help smiling because it's quite enjoyable to listen to those two since they always tend to have a lot to say which almost would make the Lima Heights sound gentle. As they keep nagging Kurt lets himself try to process what happened before. He almost got killed. Almost is the keyword in that sentence he reminds himself because here he sits without as much as a scratch.
Without really intending to the memory of Anderson raises to the surface in his mind. How the man saved his life without getting anything in return. He can't deny that the man fascinates him a little; it's something about him that makes Kurt feel something that he has never felt before. What the feeling actually is he has no idea about but it feels like something good which really is the opposite of what he should feel for a man that wants to take his freedom away. But then again, he actually did save Kurt's life.
The thoughts of the hazel eyed man keeps returning throughout the rest of the night no matter how hard he tries to push them away. It's actually so bad that he can't fall asleep because whenever he closes his eyes he just sees the terrified expression the man had right before he stopped Smythe from shooting him or how he stumbles backwards when he got hit. To be honest he feels really bad about what happened, especially that he didn't do anything to help him. Kurt knows that it was the right decision to leave but that doesn't take the guilt away.
He wish that he could thank Anderson in some way but the only way would be to say it next time they meet because even if this experience was quite traumatic there is no doubt that they will see each other again even if Kurt would prefer if Smythe would be somewhere else then. Preferably on Mars but that sadly enough is quite unlikely due to that he to start with would need a rocket ship and also that the technology hasn't come far enough to send people so far away yet. He can't help thinking that NASA should use Smythe for some kind of trial which hopefully would give him a lifetime vacation in space.
The thought makes him smile a little even know that sending him out in space maybe would be to overdo it slightly. Sending him to prison probably would do just as well if he would be locked up for long enough. Kurt has no idea where this sudden hate comes from, before he has just found it fun to make a fool out of Smythe but he has never thought anything like this before.
Of some reason he doubts that it's caused by that the man almost killed him which would be the most logical reason. It actually feels more like it has something to do with Anderson which is totally crazy. Sure, the way he treated him wasn't right but that shouldn't be enough to make Kurt hate him, right? Or would it?
He can't imagine that it would since he hasn't reacted this strong to someone being mean to another human before but it probably is because he got so emotional. That must be the explanation because there is no way it can have something to do with those warm hazel eyes or the way they looked at him after the kiss some days ago. Or how cute the man looked when blushing. Or the way their lips moved together. Totally not.
Somehow he did fall asleep after all but when he wakes up in one of Puck's guest rooms it feels more like he just closed his eyes for a couple of minutes instead of sleeping for hours. With a yawn he looks at the clock on the opposite wall to see what time it is. Only 7 am. Even though he's really tired he just knows that he won't manage to go back to sleep so instead he leaves the bed and gets dressed to have a look around because it was more than a year since he last was here and if he knows his host right there will be a lot of new things to see.
He doesn't get disappointed when he looks out through the window and sees a new part of the pool with what seems to be a bar. The fact that it's something that has to do with parties is no surprise because if it's something Puck is good at it is to fix huge parties where everybody actually seems to have a good time. Kurt has a feeling of that there are a lot more parties here than what he is invited to and then it still show up an invitation to some kind of party almost every second month which would explain why parts of the mansion actually looks more like a nightclub than a home.
On the other hand, if there is anyone who magically can make that work it's Puck since he to be honest seems to be more at home on places like that than in the parts of the house which most people would prefer to live in.
Since Kurt is staring to get hungry and still needs to get out some tension he starts looking for the kitchen so he can cook some breakfast. Some people would find it strange that someone like him would enjoy being in the kitchen but it's one of his favorite places. It could have something to do with that he used to help his mom with cooking while she was alive and then had to take over the responsibilities in the kitchen completely when she passed away.
Not because his dad didn't try, but because it felt like a way to keep connected with Elizabeth. To be honest one part of it could have been because Burt's limited cooking skills but since Kurt enjoyed it there never was a problem for either of them.
It's with a smile he think back on his teenage years even is school was though the first years at McKinley. Most of the good feeling actually comes from the glee club and his family at home. He don't know what he would have done if Burt hadn't been there for him when he needed someone. These very strong relationships with his family made it hard to take the step to move to New York but he is so thankful that he and Rachel actually went to chase their dreams because even if his life in the city isn't as he imagined it would be he has fallen in love with the city and can't imagine living somewhere else.
