Author's note: Alright Gajeel to the rescue! Let' s see how this all goes down! Warning: Violence

Chapter 14: Don't Leave My Side

Jose had his men burst the doors of the Phantom Lord hideout open and he forced Levy, whom he knocked unconscious on the way there into the chair. He had his men tie the young lawyer up and make sure that she was tied good to the chair. Once the knots were tied tight, Jose had Aria pour a large bucket of cold water onto the woman. It woke Levy from her unconscious state, coughing and hacking from the water and the tickle in her throat.

"Glad you could finally join us Miss McGarden." Jose smiled snidely "How was your nap?"

"It was fine till I saw your ugly face." Levy spat.

Jose smacked her for those words, no one has ever said that to him before.

"I bring you here as a guest and this is how you treat your host?" Jose snarled "You make derogitory comments on how I look?"

"That's a yes." Levy smirked "You're making a big mistake messing with me."

"Oh? You really think that your knight in shining armor Gajeel would come and rescue you? He's being held hostage right now in the court room along with the rest of the room!" Levy's eyes widened from hearing from that response. Jose leered deviously at Levy's realization and decided he was going to take full advantage of this situation.

Gajeel was driving as fast as this car could take him on the highway. Not caring at all how fast he was going, how many driving rules he was breaking, he knew he had to get there to save Levy. A lot of angry drivers honked their horns or waved their fists outside their windows, causing Gajeel to roll down the window and flip them his over used middle-finger. He didn't care what they thought, just as long as Levy was safe in the end that's all he cared about.

Aria punched Levy in the gut while another member pulled her hair and ripped out an earring. She gasped and wheezed for air while the feeling of no air, pins and needles and pain run through her whole chest area.

"Oh Miss McGarden." Jose smiled "You know you wouldn't be in this situation if you just minded your own business."

"The hell you mean 'mind my own business?'" she coughed "Gajeel is my client and I'm doing what I can to let him stay free!"

"Oh Miss McGarden, you really are clueless, you failed to realize you stumbled onto something far greater than you're stupid little case.

Levy's head looked down to her feet and then, something caught her eye; in the corner of the room, she found Gajeel hiding in the corner with a cellphone. He put it on silent and gave Levy a nod to show her it was going to someone's voice mail. Levy knew what he was planning and tagged in.

"So the whole Belno death was a revenge act the whole time." she spat "You killed her to get revenge on Gajeel."

"Is it that obvious?" Jose cackled "I had her son killed because he was a waste of space in my gang. When she confronted Gajeel that night and advised him to quit, I knew the bitch had to be killed. She was taking away my best man, I framed him to teach him a lesson and make sure he knew that he was staying in Phantom Lord forever! And the cops were willing to help more than anything."

"The cops?" Levy cross-examined "You were paying them off this whole time weren't you?"

"No dear girl!" Jose laughed "They were Phantom Lord Members this whole time! My gang was a lot bigger than people originally thought. I knew my activities would catch the police's eye eventually, so I made sure that some of my men made it into the Magnolia Police Academy and got jobs at the local police departments."

"Just do you could execute your plans with no issues."

"Exactly my dear girl!"

"You're doing this to prevent your ass from being thrown in prison. Despite all the evidence."

"Belno had recently found out about it. Her son's murder went un-investigated because I put in a word not to."

"So you're telling me you set up Belno's son's death as well?" Levy realized.

"He was useless!" Jose accused "He messed everything up! I gave him chances because he was human and it was small things; but when he blew our biggest drug deal of the gang's history, he also planned to quit and I knew he would go to the police on my plans. I had to get rid of him." as he chatted away, Levy felt the knot on her wrists loosen slightly so she began to gently slip her hand through it and keep it upright for now.

"So you went ahead and murdered someone just for being human, murdered his mother for advising someone that they can make something of their life and then framed a former member just because they left your group and then kidnapped me for coming close to finding out the police are Phantom Lord members?"

"Precisely! And now, you're going to die for all of this!" they were closing in on Levy when suddenly, she broke free from her restraints.

"I don't think so!" she hollered. It was right there Levy grabbed a knife a member was holding and stabbed Jose in the leg. She punched Aria in the gnads and then took on each member of Phantom Lord gang. Gajeel hung up when the message was finished and went to help his woman but stopped right before he could go and throw a punch; Levy was handling it all by herself very well. Gajeel couldn't believe how such a tiny woman like her could handle this. Feeling he wasn't needed for this, Gajeel did the next best thing: he fired up Gray's cellphone camera and recorded a video of Levy literally beating the shit out of the Phantom Lord members. Only thing Gajeel needed was a cut version of Get Down With the Sickness by Disturbed and this could go straight on LacrimaTube. Once the cops arrived, Levy stopped and Gajeel stopped the recording, beginning to laugh his ass off.

"Damn Lev!" he laughed "That was something else holy shit!" she threw him a look when he said that.

"Seriously Gajeel?!" she yelled "You don't even bother to help me?"

"I was gonna but you were doing fine on your own." he shrugged.

It was then the cops stormed into the room and began to arrest all the members of Phantom Lord. Levy recognized them right away as Sabertooth Police Department and knew that they were a department that was more-so on their side than Phantom Lord's. As the gang members were thrown into a large SWAT van, Levy noticed in the back was other members of Phantom Lord, the same ones who were holding the court room hostage.

"Oh my God the Trial!" Levy remembered "Is everything ok?! Did everyone make it?!" she suddenly felt a hand rest on her shoulder and found a young police officer with black hair, red eyes and pale skin looking at her with a smile.

"You're friends are fine." he assured "After the Phantom Lord members were arrested, your friend played a message on her phone and handed it to us. Half the police station in Raven Tail Police Department and Sabertooth was arrested and will be facing trial. We did a check on all of them and found Phantom Lord Tattoos on them."

"But," Levy asked "what about Gajeel? This whole situation was involving him because he quit!"

"Yeah," Gajeel replied "what the fuck about me?!"

"Judge Yajima said he could see from the start this was all a set up when we questioned him." the officer explained "So after they were freed, he and the jury met up and decided to dismiss all charges on Mr. Redfox." Gajeel smirked at those words and picked Levy up while hugging her "However, since Jose is going to be brought to trial, we are going to have need to testify." he stopped hearing those words and smirked at the cop.

"Ya got my help!" he admitted I ain't letting that dick get away with it!"

"Are you also planning to file charges?"

"FUCK YES WE ARE!" the officer nodded.

"I'll grab our attorney so you can both file charges." he walked away from the two who then suddenly resumed their hug.

"You really scared me Lev." Gajeel mumbled.

"Sorry Gajeel," she sighed "didn't mean to scare you."

"Don't be sorry. It was that jack ass's fault." a moment of silence passed before Gajeel kneeled down to look at her "Promise me something will ya?"

"What?"

"Promise you won't leave my side." Levy's eyes widened at his words before she hugged him and replied with a small "Mmmhmm."
