Wanted Recovery
Ch. 2 Free of Fate
After they got their clothes back on Wesley takes her by the hand, and leads her out to the road. She looks at him with puzzled eyes.
She asks, "Now where do we go. We can't take you to a hospital they ask questions, and you blew up the recovery room."
He simple says, "Can you find us a car? We can go back to my dads place. He has a recovery tub, and Sloan doesn't know where it is."
She quickly finds, and hot wires a car. She drives back to where he is sitting on the ground, and helps him into the car. She quietly asks, "Where is your dads?"
He smiles at her, and says, "Right next door to my old apartment."
She smiles back, and says, "Really, and Sloan never found him? Wow." She shakes her head in wonder at that fact.
It doesn't take her long to get there. As if she can ever drive slow, especially when someone is in the car bleeding.
She is about to break in when Wesley says, "I have a key." She looks back at him holding a key to her. She smiles again, and takes the key to unlock the house.
She helps him undress, and get into the tub. He slowly pass out. She pulls a chair next to the tub and sits down.
Some time later he wakes up, and she is asleep on the bed. He walks over, and watches her there sleeping. Wondering. She rolls over, and opens her eyes to see him standing over her. She can see the confusion on his face.
He asks, "Why? Why did you kill the rest of them, and stay with me? Was it the code or more?"
She looks him deep in the eyes. Thinking about what she plans to tell him. Then she carefully says, "I killed them because of the code, but I stayed with you because..." Her eyes start to tear up before she says, "I think I love you, but I don't know. I haven't really felt anything since..."
He walks over to her, and pulls her into his arms. He whispers, "Since your father was kill right in front of you."
She doesn't speak. She just sobs into his chest. Not wanting to leave him. He reaches down with one hand, and places a finger under her chin. He raise her face up to his, and there eyes meet. All he can see is confusion in her eyes. He leans to her, and just before he kisses her he softly says, "I love you, and will never leave you." She accepts his kiss, and returns her own back to him.
"But Sloan is still out there looking to kill you" she says as she quickly pulls back from him. She has lost all the confusion about her love for him, but now she is worried for him.
Wesley calmly replies, "Well we just have to kill him first. We need to make a plan." He takes her hand, and pulls her toward a closet. She follows in wonder as he removes the back of the closet to reveal his father's assassin shop. There are several guns now laying on the bench, and files about some of the people they had just killed. She walks over to the pile, and digs out the one marked Sloan.
"This should be helpful." She says while turning the folder toward Wesley. She opens it, and begins to thumb though the file. Which has lots of information on their final target. She sees that Cross was gathering intelligent before he found the kill order for Sloan. She tells Wesley, "Your father must have been wondering about the kill orders before. He has info here from over a year ago."
Wesley walks over, and looks over her shoulder to see notes dated 11 months ago. He wonders what else his father might have done in that past year. "He could have warned me before all this, or just run away." He stated for himself.
Fox looks up at him, and says, "but he didn't run, and he tried to warn you, but I got to you first. I am sorry about that whole thing. I didn't know."
He looks back at her, and says, "I know, but right now we need to plan. Because Sloan is living on borrowed time, and I just want to finish what my father started. Then we can be free to decide our own fate."
