The Light Chp 2
Matt grabbed out his cell phone and dialed up Elektra's phone number. As he waited anxiously for her to answer, he let out a deep sigh as her voicemail picked up. Instead of leaving her a message, he figured he would surprise her. As he walked down the street he stopped as he saw a vendor on the corner selling flowers. He stared at the buckets full of different colors roses and decided on a dozen of peach. After he paid the lady he walked over to his favorite coffee shop. A smile came to his face when he remembered meeting Elektra there for the first time. He hadn't even gotten her name but he knew that she would play an important role in his life. He walked up to counter and ordered a cup of coffee. As he glanced around the small restaurant he was shocked when he saw the small silhouette of the woman that had stolen his heart. Her back was to him and she sat quietly by herself reading a book. He grabbed a lid for his coffee and quietly walked up behind her. He took a seat in the booth behind her and just watched her for a couple of minutes. She put the book down and grabbed her cell phone from her purse. As she dialed Matt's number a smirk came to his face, as he knew that his phone would start ringing any second. He decided to surprise her then and wrap his arms around her from behind. She froze for a second and then instantly realized whom it was when she felt a soft pair lips tickle at her neck.
E- I was just calling you.
M-I know. I saw. I was just on my way to find you.
She turned around in the booth to face him.
E-I'm sorry about this morning. I didn't mean to get so personal.
M-You have nothing to be sorry about. These are for you.
He handed her the bouquet of roses making her smile.
M-Forgive me?
E-I think I can manage that just this once.
She reached a hand to his cheek and leaned in to plant a soft kiss on his lips.
M-I know things are going to be different. It's a lot to get used too so fast. Will you help me?
E-Of course I will. How did the appointment go?
M-I'm not sure. He said everything seemed to be normal. He has absolutely no explanation as to why I have my sight back.
E-Is it permanent or just a fluke?
M- He made it seem like it's here to stay, but he's not sure. He's never heard of anyone else ever having this situation.
E-Maybe it's a gift from some superior being. Someone special who's been watching you and knows the good that you're trying to do.
M-Sometimes I wonder if I'm really the good guy or not.
E-Don't say that. You're making a difference.
M-There's always going to be some new bad guy. It never ends.
E-That's exactly why you do what you do. The help that's out there is not enough. Now you have a new partner for fighting crime.
She pulled him close and gently kissed him. His hands reached to frame her face, as he was lost in the sweet moment. As the kiss deepened he heard the loud sound of screeching tires right outside the small café. A moment later shots rang loud as glass shattered and wood splintered all around them. Everyone in the restaurant began to scream as they dropped to the floor trying to avoid the bullets and glass. Matt dove on top of Elektra trying to cover her.
E-What's going on?
M-Stay down!
He slowly leaned up and saw the black Mercedes as it sped up and turned the corner. The car was gone within seconds. He climbed up and helped Elektra stand. They couldn't believe their eyes from the amount of damage the spray of bullets had caused.
M-Is everyone all right?
He heard a little girl crying and looked over to see her leaning over her mother he presumed. He quickly went over to her and saw the puddle of blood that grew around her head. With his head hung low he grabbed one of the tablecloths from the table and covered the woman. Elektra quickly grabbed the small child in a tight embrace. Within minutes police and ambulance vehicles were pulling up to the front of the building.
E-Why would somebody do this? Did you see anything?
M-Only the car. I couldn't get a plate number or a look at the person.
They took the girl outside to the ambulance to have some cuts and scrapes bandaged and gave a statement to the police. A short while later they saw a man come running down the street. He quickly ran up to the little girl and pulled her tight within his arms. Obviously he had gotten news about his wife and daughter being at the diner.
Elektra stood there fighting back the tears as she heard one of the police officers tell the man that his wife didn't make it. The man crumpled to his knees and started crying as he held on tightly to his daughter. A moment later a strong pair of arms wrapped around her waist. She quickly turned around and buried her face in his chest as she felt the tears fall from her eyes. Perhaps it was the connection she felt to her own mother. The painful memories of her own mother's murder were very similar to what the little girl had witnessed today.
M-Are you ok?
She nodded her head and looked up at him. He noticed the small trail of blood on her temple.
M-You're hurt.
He quickly ripped a part of his sleeve off and applied pressure to small wound.
M-Maybe we should let the EMS check you out.
E-I'll be fine. I just want to go home.
They quickly made their way back to her apartment. Elektra came out of the bathroom wrapping a towel around her head and looked at Matt as he watched the news. She took a seat next to him on the sofa as he wrapped an arm around her.
E-Have they found anything out yet?
M-No, not really. Look, why don't you rest and I'll go grab us something to eat. Are you hungry?
E-That sounds good. I'm starving.
M-Alright
E-Matt.
M-Yeah?
E-Be careful.
M-What's wrong?
E-What if that shooting had something to do with us?
M-We don't know that for sure.
E-I know, but something doesn't feel right. Bobby and Fran have had that café since I was a little girl. They've never had any kind of trouble there. Maybe we were targets today. What if someone found out who you were? Maybe it's one of Fisk's goons.
M-I'll be fine. I'll be back in a little bit. I love you.
E-I love you too.
He gave her a soft kiss and winked at her. She forced a smile as she watched him walk out the door. Even though he tried to make light of the subject, she couldn't shake the feeling that the drive by shooting was a warning.
