Chapter 7:
Tommy groaned when he regained his consciousness, he looked around in confusion. Trying to remember what had happened. His head was hurting like hell and his ribcage felt like elephants had danced on him. He saw another body in the corner of his eye. Everything was starting to get back to him now. How he felt a dart in his neck and woke up in this place. That's when it hit him, he looked beside him and found Jason knocked out.
"Jase? Jason? Bro, wake up?" Tommy tried but couldn't get his friend to regain consciousness.
Jason, on the other hand, heard a voice in the back of his mind, a voice that sounded a lot like Tommy. He tried to go to the voice but he was struggling to open his eyes. He hoped that Tommy kept talking though. If only he could find himself to wake up.
"Jason, please come on man. I can't live without you." He heard Tommy say. Did he really heard this right, it couldn't mean what he thought it meant. No, Tommy was as straight as they came. He kept focusing on Tommy's voice that became more clear by the second.
"Jason, come back to me. Don't leave now that we found each other again, now that I finally can say what I should have said a long time ago." Tommy said in a broken voice, "please, Jason I am in love with you. Just let me tell you that in your face."
Tommy's voice was clear now, did he just hear that right or was his mind playing tricks with him, "Can you say that again?" Jason answered in a sleepy tone of voice right before he opened his eyes with difficulty.
"Jason, you are alive!" Tommy almost yelled out of happiness but regretted it immediately. His head was still hurting, "How much did you hear?" He asked a bit shyly.
Jason groaned it was hard to wake up from this freaking sleeping draft, "Did you just tell me that you loved me?" Tommy could hear a spark of hope in Jason's voice or was his mind playing games.
Tommy sighed there was no way back now, "Yes, Jason I am in love with you. I always have been since the moment that you broke the spell over me. I never played with Kimberly's heart because I really loved the girl but it was like my soul found what it was looking for. If you don't want to see me again I will understand. I will pray to my friend Lucifer, he will get us out and after that, I will disappear out of your life."
Jason didn't know what to say but he needed to say something before Tommy would see this as a rejection. He knew how sensitive Tommy could be, "No, Tommy I don't want you out of my life not now that I finally found you, I mean really found you. You see the fact that I went to Switzerland was also because I became way too jealous of your relationship with Kimberly. I couldn't help it. Perhaps I wasn't ready to really start a relationship with you either but I don't want to waste this second chance we got. You are all that I ever wanted, I love you too." Jason smiled as far as he could.
Then something hit him, "Did you just say pray to the devil? Tommy, do you feel all right? Did they hit you too hard on the head? There is no such thing as the devil and if he was why would the embodiment of all evil help us?" Jason asked curiously.
"That's just it, he isn't evil you will seeā¦" Tommy stopped in mid-sentence when he heard someone clapping in his hands.
"That's so beautiful, isn't it? Oh, I followed everything on the security camera." Ryan laughed with Bryan standing on one side and Jose on the other side.
"Finding love before death will separate you." Ryan laughed.
Both men struggled against their ropes but they were just tied up secure plus the beating they had received had weakened them.
"Oh Thomas, before you die I have one more revelation for you. You will die with thought that your own half brother managed to kill you. Oh yes, Tommy, Bryan is your half brother." Ryan smirked, "You see I took him under my wings, I am the only family he ever had."
Ryan was playing with an injection with a green substance. "This product in my hands is called Vortex. It will end your life in a matter of hours. The only thing that helps it is this blue product but to bad that nobody will be able to help you because the moment they find you it will be too late." The gang leader rolled the blue substance to the other side of the room out of reach.
Lucifer his phone out of his pocket and opened the app, the app was custom-made for Lux. He would only use it in situations like this when someone needed to show up for work and didn't respond to calls. His job in Hell, as well as his job with the LAPD, made him a bit more careful when it came to his staff. They all trusted Lucifer so they didn't mind.
The signal was leading Lucifer and Daniel to the beach only five minutes from Lux. They were both looking around in confusion.
"Are you sure this is the place, Luce?" Dan asked while scratching his hair.
"I am sure, Daniel, this thing has never been wrong." Lucifer said right before he spotted something in the sand, "Hello, what have we here?" Lucifer said while he took Tommy's phone from underneath its sand cover.
"Is that Tommy's phone?" Daniel asked, looking at the thing in his boyfriend's hand.
The devil nodded, "Yes, it appears to be... his." His came out like something was demanding his attention. Lucifer tilted his head slightly like he was listening for something.
"What's wrong?" Dan asked but was shushed immediately by the devil who lifted his hand to shut him up. Daniel watched him curiously.
"Lucifer, I hope you can hear me." It was Tommy, he was praying to Lucifer.
"Lucifer, please, help me, this is Tommy, a man named Ryan had kidnapped me and Jason. The only thing I know is that I am in an old building with broken windows. They used sleeping poisons on us. I only have a few hours to live, please hurry."
"Tommy had been kidnapped and had for some reason only a few hours to live. A sense they hold him in the old tire factory about ten minutes from here. Do you know where it is?" Lucifer said in a hurry.
"I do but how do you know where he is?" Daniel asked curiously.
"He has used the direct line, that's why I zoomed out, it has been literally eons that someone prayed to me for help. Come to the factory and bring help. I am taking a fast way but we need an explanation of how we got there in the first place. I will take Tommy's phone and I will ensure people believe he called me." Lucifer said while unfurling his wings and taking off leaving Daniel a bit flabbergasted. He knew who or what his boyfriend was but it was still an adjustment to see him actually take off. The male detective shook his head, there wasn't time to think it over. He took off towards his car to drive to the only old tire plant in town.
Lucifer landed only seconds later in front of the old building where his prayer came from. He kicked against the door, which flew to the other end of the factory. His wings folded behind his back, he looked around.
Ryan was about to leave the room with Bryan and Jose when the men heard the sound of iron hitting against the wall.
"What the hell was that?" Ryan said, "Jose you said that nobody could follow us."
"If I am right, it is your worst nightmare. I am sure Hell is coming to you." Tommy said between coughs, with his last strength.
"Bryan you stay here and guard the prisoner, Jose you come with me. We will show his Hell." Ryan said with a tightened jaw.
Lucifer shook his shoulders backward to make his wings disappear. He liked the surprise effect when he shifted his head or when bullets didn't wound him.
The devil was looking around but a smirk appeared on his face when he heard a voice behind him.
"You just made a deadly mistake, sir." Ryan laughed before he fired. The gang leader repeatedly fired until he was out of bullets, "What the hell?" looking confused towards his gun.
"Oh not just yet but soon I promise." Lucifer smirked, "Now I don't have time, you have someone here I care about and you are going to tell me where he is!"
"Try me, Jose finish him," Ryan ordered.
Lucifer tilted his head, "Well, come on then. I am in the mood of throwing people." The devil walked towards the men and lifted them both in the air by their neck like it was nothing.
"I don't ask again." Lucifer threatened, shifting his eyes from brown to red, showing them the flames of Hell.
"It's all right, Lucifer. We got them." Came a familiar voice. It was Daniel with the rest of the LAPD. He shifted his eyes to the brown ones before he turned around. Throwing the men in front of Daniel's feet.
"Please, arrest us!" Ryan said crying like a child. This wasn't the first time Daniel saw Big men crying like a child with one look from Lucifer. He never understood, he really likes his devil face, perhaps he was a bit biased but still...
"Where are they?" Dan asked sternly.
"On the first floor, the second door," Jose said with a trembling voice, both men had wet themselves.
"Bring them away, I will go look for them with Lucifer. Stay here to ensure that no others escape." Daniel ordered, he was glad that he was a full detective again.
They both walked the stairs, Daniel, more carefully than Lucifer but that must be because no gun could kill him anymore not even with Chloe near him.
The second wooden door was splintered by one kick of Lucifer's feet. Daniel was aiming his gun towards the man near Tommy.
"Hands in the air if you know what's good for you. Step away from Tommy." Daniel said in fully cop mode. Bryan looked up and did what he was told.
Lucifer ran towards Tommy and crouched beside him, "Hey, we got you, buddy. We are going to bring you to the hospital."
Tommy looked up, "Blue bottle..." was the only thing he said before he closed his eyes and lost his consciousness right there in Lucifer's arms.
Lucifer's breathing grew heavy, his eyes grew cold when he looked towards the face of Bryan, "Time for punishment." He growled through his teeth.
Daniel stopped him, "He will get his punishment, Luce. Calm down. Untie the other one. I will call an ambulance."
"You're lucky for now, but I know where you are going so I will be patient and get my turn," Lucifer growled flashing with his eyes before he walked towards Jason, who was struggling against his ropes.
"No! no! That's not possible, please keep him away from me." Bryan trembled. Daniel smirked before he asked, "What did you give Tommy?"
He didn't see how Jason ran towards a blue bottle in the corner of the room and crouched beside him, "Come on, babe, don't leave me, drink, please. Don't leave me alone now."
Lucifer crouched beside Jason, seeing Tommy taking the product even in his unconscious state but he didn't wake up.
"Tommy come on." Jason cried but it was no use.
