True Love Once One is Removed
Chapter 18: Ireland; Beginning of the End
Staring out the window, watching as the sun shown clear revealed hills of Irish hue. Green grass that extended far spoke to Brady. It spoke of not allowing the car to sit and revel in the simple beauty's of nature. Even if the sun was particularly bright that day, it was the message of the green grass that conveyed it's essence.
It was the green light for the hurried business man who'd been stopped so often. It was the sign for someone wanting to know if they should go for it or not. Green grass being stretched for miles on out told him to 'Go for it.'
Sighing, Brady turned his tired face to a sleeping John. Nancy and Phillip had stayed behind at the hotel Bo reserved for them ahead of time. Upon the notice that the group of them were on their way for the last big event.
Brady kept going back in his mind and telling himself it had all happened in 24 very short yet long hours. After months of trying to find her, he had been close to her hours ago. She had been in his arms, up under the hairs of his head, and for one secret second while the two stood in the garden that night, they kissed. Remembering the kiss and the sweet taste of it, her warmth and gliding tongue that darted to match his rhythmic notions.
For a brief moment Brady had lived in the past until he felt the car jerk to a stop. They were here….
***************
The slip of saliva that glistened from his dry mouth had made it's way out of his open mouth to a rough surface. It stood sticking to his mouth until the bottom lip began to tremble in nervous gasps as his slumped body awakened from its slumbered state. The drip fell from his lips without the assistance of his hands to wipe away any last drops.
His hands had been tied up in the moment. Pulling against it caused his joints to shutter in pain as they were tied on a little extra tight making the urge to thinking of maneuvering his way out of them a spaced idea.
Blurred vision, dazed eyes is how useless his mind was helping him with. He felt heavily drugged up on something he couldn't place, one thing was for sure was that he had been given chloroform to knock him out because if what he saw last night was true, there wasn't no other way he would've rode with the ignorant kid. The ignorant kid being that of one Brady Black.
Chris nudged his mind to straighten his vision further and he began to see a figure, standing before him adjusting their gun belt on the shoulders. Clearing up a little bit more he soon began to recognize the man, he was the same guy Stefano had told him about once before a while back.
Staring at Bo further, Chris spoke up to let his friend know he was woke, "Yo, mi amigo let me out of these! I haven't done anything and I can have you brought up on charges for doing this."
Bo turned around quickly and smirked before he responded, "Aw, and I didn't even get to kiss you, Sleeping Beauty, but not so much in your case huh? Got a trail of saliva on the side of your face….there" as he patter him on the cheeks.
"You are so going to get it when I get out of here," Chris said as he watched Bo step behind him and begin untying him.
Rubbing his wrist Chris spoke, "Geesh, did you really have to tie me up so hard? We're both on the same sides, remember or did you forget?"
"I didn't say I tied you up, and it need to look believable so the others wouldn't suspect anything. Brady tied you up, hell, it brought him pleasure dragging your body up the steps and after that he dropped you of in front of my room until I propped you in this ole chair right here and he took the honor of tying you up personally," remarked Bo as he went back to adjusting his self, "So you think you can be ready in 5 minutes?"
"5 minutes?! Why didn't you wake me up before then?," Chris said rushing to the closet and obtaining his tux.
"Well I'm not the one who's an undercover agent now am I?"
"And you still didn't have to him tie me up….,"Chris stated from the bathroom.
"Who's fault is it that he thinks your in love with his friend, girlfriend, lover, soul mate, I don't know what she is to him but the fact does remain you were undercover while working with AJ, I mean Chloe. And I myself am even interested to know if your in love with the enemy's *daughter*?," Bo said stopping what he was doing so that he could see Chris's reaction.
Chris stood quiet adjusting his tie looking at the bathroom mirror which was framed in an exquisite green color that stood out in his eyes. He looked to the mirror and saw his green ones and imagined staring directly into a pair of exquisite blue ones. Ones that took the shape of virgin seas that had yet to known the destruction of ships rolled over its' vast waters. Chris went back to working on his tie for the Ireland celebration tonight, since this would probably put all of AJ/Chloe's moves to the test if she lived to make it so far.
"So can I take that as a no and that Brady thinks wrongly about you" Bo questioned as he stepped into the doorway of the bathroom.
Chris turned to him and said nonchalantly, "Actually you think wrong, Brady knows what's up with I and AJ, I think I might have muttered something last night that gave that away seeing as I have a pinch of a bruise on my cheek."
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that," Bo said as Chris walked past him out the bathroom.
"Yeah, I imagine so," Chris smiled as he gathered up his jacket and waited for Bo to do the same, "So are you sure that no one knows that I'm an undercover agent and what my actual relationship to AJ/Chloe is right?"
Bo shook his head as he replied to him, "Nope, no one knows you're an agent, nor do they know that your actual relationship to Chloe/AJ is her bodyguard. I can't believe you put up with some of things you've done for months now."
"It was worth it," Chris said as he stepped out the door while Bo stepped out next to lock it and muttered, "I bet it was."
The two left that night with the knowledge of what was to come and there was one thing that was sure, if this was AJ night to shine, her life would have to be sacrificed. Her mission to begin with would cause her to sacrifice her life but it wouldn't be her who would die since Chris had been assigned to protect her and keeping the situation under control. But since the flaw last night, things had been changed around and now he was separated from her which made protecting her all the more difficult and more risky.
There was so much no one had knew of this case, and it had all occurred in a little amount of time. Tonight was finally here, after all the months of training and exploring it had finally come. It would be the beginning for most or the ending for some, but one thing was true tonight. Right now, at that moment it had been the beginning to one person's fatal end….
********************
AJ stepped off her vanity chair and looked at her reflection in contempt to her appearance. The hair and make up stylist had done an excellent job, they had been fully rewarded for their efforts as she no longer looked to be dressed as the Cinderella of the Ball as she did last night. Tonight she was dressed fire red in a sleek dress that hugged her bodice, snuggled against her curves and expanded a little.
"You look magnificent my dear," Stefano said hugging his daughter who'd now been program to not know him as having the last name Johnson anymore, but now having Thomas as hers did now. Because she didn't know him any longer as just a friend of her fathers, she knew him as her father. Which made her loyalty closer than ever to him, and any man to corrupt her mind to be set adrift since nothing could penetrate her systems, no Chris Riley, and definitely not any Brady Black. Last night had been the end of it and the beginning to something that destroyed another.
"I'm ready for my close-up father," she blushed jokingly as he held out his arms for her and guided her out the door to escort her an awaiting limo. Which had been heavily loaded with guns and other missionary's of Stefano's who were out to complete the task at hand tonight. The mission that needed to be done since the beginning, 'To search and destroy John Black, Bo Brady, and any and all their clan who might be of threat"…..
Tonight. Kill them all and let God sort them out………..
