Hours later Paul, Isaac, and Kyle are halfway up the stairs when there is a banging on the front door. Three freeze and look down at the door. Scott opens the door and recoils as something is sprayed in his eyes. Scott shouts in pain staggering back before he's slammed in the stomach with the end of a bat. He gasps as the wind is knocked out of him and he stumbles to the floor. "Paul!" Jeff yells kicking Scott in the side before stepping further in the foyer. Derek and Stiles rush at Jeff. "No stop!" Paul yells. Jeff swings at Stiles who catches the bat and yanks it free. Derek rushes around his mate and slams Jeff to the wall hand tight around the human's throat. "Derek don't hurt him!." Paul shouts shoving past Isaac and Kyle when they try to shield him from the intruder. Racing down the stairs he meets Jeff's eyes. "Paul, run!" Jeff gasps trying in vain to free himself from Derek's iron grip. Stiles and Danny both rush to Scott and help him up. "Pepper Spray." Stiles says splashing some water from a bottle in Scott's eyes. "You'd better talk fast." Danny says eyes never leaving Scott as he holds his hands while Stiles flushes his eyes. "Can't" Jeff gasps out face bright red. "Derek!" Paul yells pulling on the Alpha's arm. Derek loosens his grip. Jeff doubles over gasping for breath.
"What the hell Jeff!" Paul says bending over next to Jeff. "Was worried, thought they were the ones following you." Jeff gasps out as his color slowly returns to normal. After a few moments he straightens up. "So you thought you'd come in here with a bat and mace and rescue me from six men?" Paul says with a grin. He turns and looks at Kyle and Isaac who had followed him down. "So this is the guy who can't keep his hands off you." Isaac says glaring at the blond. If looks could kill Jeff would vaporize. Kyle just rolls his eyes and leans against Isaac trying to calm his jealous protective boyfriend. "We would never hurt Paul." Scott says rubbing his eyes. Jeff looks around skeptically. "If he wanted to leave could he?" He asks. "Why would I want to?" Paul says. "We're all friends here these guys would kill anyone who tried to hurt me. This mountain of fury by the way is my boyfriend Isaac." Paul says gesturing to Isaac who is standing ramrod straight giving Jeff a murderous glare. The gorgeous ginger restraining him is my other boyfriend Kyle. Kyle smirks and nods in greeting. Jeff looks at Derek. "Are you also…" He asks trailing off when Derek smirks. "It's not an orgy house. Paul is the only one with two. I'm Derek, I'm with Stiles. I assume you know Danny and Scott." Jeff sighs reaching up and rubbing his throat. "Well I don't know what to say."
"Everything is OK now. The people who were after me were not trying to hurt me. You were right I was suffering from memory loss after a traffic accident. The people who were following me were my friends here trying to get me back to the hospital." "Paul says putting his arm around Stiles's shoulders. "So you have your memory back now? Everything is OK?" Jeff asks flinching back when Isaac suddenly steps forward. "Thanks for looking after him." Isaac says extending his hand. Jeff hesitates a moment before accepting the gesture and shaking Isaac's hand. "He means the world to me. I would do anything to keep him safe." Isaac says firmly. The subtle threat just under the surface. "Can I drive you home?" Paul asks trying to break the tension. "No, uh I'm parked just up the drive a little. I should be going. I'm sorry for barging in here like this. Sorry for the mace, and then uh stomach." Jeff says to Scott as he walks out the front door. "Over a decade fighting as a wolf and you get taken down by a human with a bat and a can of mace." Stiles chuckles quietly poking Scott in the side. Paul follows Jeff out the door pressing back gently on Isaac and Kyle on the bond requesting a moment of semi privacy. He closes the door behind himself. "Jeff." He says before his friend steps off the porch. "Look I'm sorry." Jeff says turning to Paul smiling sheepishly. "Jeff I'm the one that should be apologizing to you. I'm sure I really freaked you out. I should have called you the moment I regained my memories. It's just all happened so fast." "You don't have to apologize to me Tex." Jeff says with a grin. "I'm just glad you're OK. As long as you've got a bevy of hot men to look after you I don't see how anyone could ever do any harm. Especially Derek fuck he's as hot as he is strong. Pretty sure my feet actually left the floor at one point." Jeff says with a smirk. "You're OK though right? Man that's probably going to bruise." Paul asks looking at the dark marks on Jeff's throat. "Yeah I'm fine. It's still cold enough I can get away with something like a turtle neck for a few days." "Isaac is fond of scarfs." Paul says with a grin. "Inside Stiles chuckles looking at Isaac who shrugs "They keep me warm." He says defensively stepping forward to open the door. Kyle grabs his arm. "Come on, let them be. Jeff isn't going to dare to try anything." Isaac growls but pulls back and stands waiting for Paul to return.
Moments later Paul comes in the front door. He pauses to close and lock it before turning to face the pack loitering around the foyer. "You're OK?" He asks Scott. "Yeah I'm fine." He says with a grin. "I'm sorry that happened. I should have called him. Sorry guys." Paul says with a shrug. "It's Ok. You've had a thing or two on your mind you know?" Isaac says reaching for Paul's hand and pulling him close. Slipping his hand up Paul's back the tall wolf pulls his mate in for a firm loving hug. "Sleepy?" He asks quietly giving Paul a soft kiss on the cheek. "Yeah." Paul whispers yawning and stretching. He's gently lifted off his feet causing him to squalk in surprise. "I can walk you know?" He says putting his arm around Isaac's neck. "Shhhh." Isaac says with a smile. He looks over at Kyle with a grin "Let's take our mate to bed."
"Mmmmmmmm" Paul sighs stretching languidly. He drapes himself over Kyle and reaches out behind him for Isaac. "Just a moment." Isaac says softly rushing about to turn the lights off before stripping and slipping in bed behind his mate. Isaac presses against Paul and kisses him on the neck. "Love my boys." Paul says softly dropping rapidly towards sleep. "We love you." Kyle says back sliding his hand down Paul's arm lovingly. "Wanna get you another Bumblebee." Paul whispers more asleep than awake. "Insurance is taking care of it. Just need to find one." Isaac says sliding his arm around Paul's chest.
Stiles sighs and drops his magazine on the table. Derek looks up from where he is reading across from the couch. "I know." He says. "We need to figure out who the hell is impersonating Mark." Stiles says needlessly. "I know." Derek says. "We're just acting like everything is fine and it's business as usual." Stiles says standing and pacing. "Stiles, I know." Derek says closing his book. "Danny is working on it all we can do right now is be patient." Stiles groans and runs both hands over his buzzed hair. "We need to try and keep him here as much as possible. He's safer at home." "Isaac and Kyle will most likely be with him every step of the way. Three wolves should be enough to keep him safe." Derek says. Stiles shakes his head heading for the kitchen. "I don't like this Derek. Not one bit."
"I'm starving…. " Paul says emerging from the closet the following morning. Isaac and Kyle are sitting on the bed putting their shoes on. "Like…. I'm probably going to die in about 30 seconds." Paul says earning a smirk from Kyle. "What would you like? Can't have you expiring now can we?" Isaac says crossing the floor and capturing his human's lips with his own. "I wanna go see Peter." Paul says as they are descending the stairs a few moments later. "I wish he'd spend more time with us." He says as Kyle hands Paul and Isaac their coats from the closet. "If anyone can change that it's you. I think you're his favorite." Isaac says with a nudge as they file out the door. The trio approaches the rental car causing Paul so groan. "From Bumblebee to a Ford Fiesta." "We'll get another one don't worry. Just taking awhile to find one in good enough condition." Kyle says sneaking a kiss to Paul's cheek before slipping in the back seat.
Later they are halfway through their meal in the crowded restaurant. "I'm gonna go see if Peter needs any help." Paul says standing. "I thought you were seconds from death?" Kyle says with a smile gesturing at Paul's half eaten breakfast. "I'll live a little while longer." Paul says with a grin caressing his two mates over the bond before walking through the door leading to the kitchen. "Employees only Mr. Brace." A voice says behind Paul. He turns and smiles at Peter. "Hi Peter." Paul says giving the wolf a brief but firm hug. "I hadn't seen you so I wanted to come see if I could help. I've never seen it this busy." "There are a couple of conventions in town so it makes things pretty busy." Peter replies. "Want me to take that?" Paul asks gesturing to the bag of trash Peter has in one hand. "No it's fine…" "Peter you're pack. Let me help. I love you just as much as I do Stiles, Danny, Scott…." Just then there is a loud crash further back in the kitchen followed by arguing. Peter sighs heavily rolling his eyes. "Please." He says handing the bag to Paul then moving off to see what had happened. Paul smiles when Peter briefly clasps him on the shoulder and pats him affectionately over the pack bond..
The rear door swings open with a squeak and Paul walks towards the dumpster. He's holding the foul smelling bag as far away from himself as he can. "Hope this smell doesn't linger." He mutters to himself He is nearly to the dumpster when the sound of skidding tires and an engine being pushed hard draws his attention.
Inside the mess of the kitchen is being cleaned and Peter is about to step out the back door when he hears it. Faintly from the dining room
PACKAGE BEHIND BUILDING, MOVE IN. INTERCEPT UNITS ENGAGE.
In the dining room Isaac and Kyle have both frozen and turned to the source of the announcement. A table nearby with several men who are now looking right back at them. "Ear piece." Kyle whispers. Suddenly Peter's voice rings out. "Paul!". Isaac and Kyle are on their feet and moving towards the kitchen when the men at the table attack.
Peter races outside just as a large white van pulls up. Several men jump out of it and race towards Paul. In a fluid motion Paul spins and catches one of the men firmly in the jaw with his heel knocking him out. A second is knocked off balance when he's hit with the bag of trash that Paul had released mid spin. The third takes an elbow to the throat. Before Peter can take more than a few steps a shot rings out. He instantly pivots the snipers slug meant for his head instead hits the side of the building catching Peter in the face with an explosion of concrete bits. He grunts and goes down. "Peter!" Paul screams. At the same instant Paul's vision explodes as he takes a blow to the back of the head.
Moments later Peter is hauling himself to his feet pulling pieces of concrete from his healing face. Kyle and Isaac rush out looking wildly around. "Peter!" Kyle says rushing to his side. "Where's Paul?!" Isaac demands. Peter closes his eyes then anguish heavy in his tone says. "He's been taken."
Well that's it for Four Points In The Dark! I've already got a bit of the sequel written. I'll try to get chapter 1 up as soon as possible.
