Here's an overdue update of this story. lol. Hope everyone out there is doing well and that you all enjoy this newchpt. Enjoy!
A week had nearly come and gone. . .
Tidus was back up in tip top shape and very much eager to get his hands around Reggie's throat. Yuna had a few nightmares on and off, but is doing much better especially that Tidus was back on the force. Everyone has been waiting for Reggie to come clean of at least drop a clue as to where this mysterious leader would be.
Nightfall. . .
Auron had already left as well as several other officers. Tidus stayed behind to get caught up on paper work and Yuna stayed with him to help out. She had stepped out for lunch, but was on her way back to the station..
Reggie laid in his cell unaware of who was charging down the hall like a rabid animal. It was only when he heard someone unlock that cell door that he looked behind him only to see Tidus lock it behind him and he immediately scrambled to his feet, however, before he could take any action what so ever, Tidus grabbed him by his shirt and violently shoved him up against the wall, his eyes raging with fury.
"You touched the wrong woman when you touched my partner." Tidus said through clinched teeth. "And now I am going to make you pay with your life!"
"You can't do this!" Reggie said. "You're a cop!"
"Watch me!" Tidus said through narrowed, angry eyes. "It's only you and me. There are no witnesses."
"You know what?" Reggie asked. "I think you're doing this out of jealously rather than anger." Tidus listened to him carefully. "I done the one thing that you very much desire to do and that's touch her Yuna in an intimate way. Suppose I tell you how good she felt both inside and out?"
And through a spurt of anger and rage, upper cutted Reggie right square under the chin, which sent him sprawling to the floor where only seconds later he was greeted by a kick to his ribs. Babbling in pain, Reggie tried to crawl back away from Tidus who stood over him like a predator over its prey. Brushing his hair back out of his face, Tidus panted angrily as he glared down at Reggie, grabbed his shirt and drew his fist back.
"TIDUS!" came a timid voice from the other side of the cell. Tidus stopped what he was doing, looked and saw Yuna who was giving him a look of shock. "Stop!" Tidus let his guard down, released Reggie and stepped back. "Open the door now!"
Tidus looked at Reggie then back at Yuna. "Can I hit him just one more time?"
"No!" Yuna yelled.
"How about one more kick?" Tidus asked and when he saw Yuna give him that serious look he walked over and unlocked the cell door and Yuna stepped inside.
"Get out of here." Yuna demanded. Angered yet again, Tidus stormed away as Yuna then looked at Reggie and a sinister smile played upon her features, Reggie only glared at her. "Touch me or any other woman again and I will let him finish you next time." She then left with Reggie looking on.
Moments later. . .
Yuna sat on the edge of Tidus' desk while she doctored his bloody hand up a bit. She dabbed a bit of alcohol on it and Tidus yelled. She looked at him, rolled her eyes and kept fixing it up.
"You are such a baby at times, Tidus." Yuna said playfully. Tidus just narrowed his eyes at her, nodding his head in sarcasm. Getting a bit uncomfortable, Yuna scooted back on the desk a bit, crossing her legs, which caused her skirt to rise very high and that certainly caught Tidus' eye. "Why, Tidus?" Tidus didn't respond. Yuna looked at him and caught him staring. "Tidus, sweety." Tidus looked at her. "Eyes on me."
"Anytime." Tidus thought to himself.
"I want to know why- -" Yuna began.
"Why I beat the shit out of Reggie?" Tidus finished. "Yuna, you're my partner, my best friend. I am going to protect you at any cost."
"Did he say anything?" Yuna asked with caution in her voice.
Tidus recalled what Reggie had said about her and wasn't about to repeat it. "Nothing."
"Who are you trying to fool Tidus, yourself or me?" Yuna asked, releasing his hand. "Reggie said something for you to react the way you did. I know you too well." Tidus looked at the bandage on his hand, rubbing it before turning away from Yuna. "Tidus?" Tidus took a few steps forth as Yuna stood and followed suit. "What's wrong?" She placed her hand upon his shoulder.
Silent for a few moments, Tidus slowly turned, looking upon Yuna's beautiful features only to see the concern and content in her eyes, which made a smile cross his face. "Let's not worry about that, shall we?" He softly caressed her cheek, letting a few loose strands of hair flow through his fingers. "Let's concentrate on finding out who is behind all this and who sent him."
Suddenly, Auron burst through their office door, startling the duo intensely. he glared at both of them for a moment or two before clearing his throat and at last speaking.
"Glad you two are still here!" Auron stated with urgency in his voice. "We've trouble and a break!"
"Meaning?" Tidus asked
"While you two were here messing around with useless paper work, three goons were busted for possession of an illegal substance." Auron informed the duo.
Tidus whistled. "Sounds big."
"Cut the sarcasm, Tidus!" Yuna warned.
"One of them cracked under pressure and spilled everything." Auron stated with small chuckle. "He's down at the docks in the old abandoned warehouse. He's getting ready to ship out a large amount of the substance we obtained from those goons. I want you two to stop him."
"We're on it!" Tidus said and Auron nodded his head in satisfaction.
An hour had nearly passed. . .
The water swayed gently underneath the Zanarkand Docks. The stars twinkled as the moon hung low in the sky. It was surely a beautiful night in Zanarkand, however, things were about to turn ugly.
A motorcycle slowed to a steady pace where it then came to a full stop. The engine was turned off and a pair of dark shades were removed, unveiling a pair of deep ocean eyes. The shades were folded and put aside.
"You're late." came a sweet voice from behind. "Nothing unusual there." Those same ocean eyes slowly turned and were greeted by a pair of mix matched eyes of cyan and jade.
"Better late than never." Tidus said with a shrug of his shoulder as he got off his bike.
"That cocky attitude of yours is going to get you smacked if not killed one of these days." Yuna warned.
"We'll worry about that when the time comes, eh?" Tidus said with slight sarcasm in his voice.
"Totally impossible!" Yuna said to herself as she rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"So. . ." Tidus began as he walked over near the docks, looking down at the warehouse below. "He's down there?"
"Yes." Yuna said as she walked up beside Tidus. He looked at her then back towards the warehouse, withdrew his gun and cocked it.
"Let's do this." Tidus said.
"We'd better sneak up on him." Yuna suggested. "There's no telling what he might do to the girl if he were to find out we we're here and there's no telling how many of his goons are down there with him."
"Any ideas?" Tidus asked.
"We sneak in." Yuna said.
"One of your more brilliant plans." Tidus muttered
"Excuse me?" Yuna said
Tidus cleared his throat. "Let's get going." And with gun in hand, Tidus headed forth to his destination and Yuna followed suit.
Moments later. . .
Pointing his gun, Tidus leaped out around the corner only to find everything in the clear and with a motion of his hand, Yuna soon followed behind, covering his back. One foot after the other they quietly edged their way towards a window located high above, but how would they get to it to see inside?
Yuna observed her surroundings and saw a window high above. "There's a window." Yuna whispered as Tidus looked at it above. "But how do we get in?"
Tidus looked around, taking notice of some rather large crates located near the opening. He walked forth and tested the sturdiness of them before coming to a decision. "We climb."
"What!" Yuna spatted out. "Tidus, those crates are too large for me to climb up and over on."
"Then what do you propose we do, walk through the front door?" Tidus argued. "I'm sure they'd love to give us an open invitation of bullets and a stampeding heard of goons and more goons!"
"Fine!" Yuna almost yelled loudly. "I'll climb the damn things, but if I fall, it's your fault. I am not as tall as you!"
"Would you relax?" Tidus asked as he stepped aside to allow Yuna to step in front of the first crate. "Get you a good grip and I will help you up."
"And give you a chance to look up my skirt?" Yuna asked. "Hell no!"
"You should have known better than to wore that outfit in the first place." Tidus said. "A skirt and three inch heels don't exactly work when you're on duty."
"I hadn't anticipated on running down here to slay someone on such short notice." Yuna said. "I didn't think we'd get a break in the case so suddenly."
"Let's go while the getting is good." Tidus suggested. "Things always have a way of going from bad to worse in a split second."
And with a nod of her head, Yuna stepped up, grasped the crate firmly as Tidus put his hands on the lower part of her waistline and jumped up. Tidus watched as she had to bed over, her short skirt rising high in the back. He let his hands slowly glide down her backside, feeling the firmness and did he ever like what he felt. Yuna felt him and glared back at him. Tidus seen her and gave her a crooked grin as he lowered his hands to the outer portion of her thighs.
"Are you getting fresh with me?" Yuna pondered as she raised an eyebrow at him.
Tidus shook his head innocently. "No, I was just helping you up is all."
"Yeah right!" Yuna said as Tidus jumped up onto the crate beside her. "You were feeling of my ass! I felt you squeeze it!"
"Don't flatter yourself, Yuna." Tidus said, climbing up onto the next crate. Yuna's mouth dropped open as she glared up at Tidus who looked down at her. The wind caressed his golden strands of hair, which instantly made Yuna's heart melt. A smile appeared on her face and Tidus narrowed his in bewilderment. "What?"
Yuna shook her head. "Nothing." A small sigh followed as she then frowned. "Aren't you going to help me up!"
"No." Tidus said coyly. "I don't want to feel you up like you accused me doing just a few seconds ago."
Yuna bit her bottom lip in annoyance. "Would you stop messing around and help me up!"
"Fine!" Tidus said, kneeling down and taking Yuna by her forearms and helping her up. They slowly stood, staring into each other's eyes, which them seemingly got lost in.
Tidus let his hands glide down her arms, feeling the softness with his fingertips. Yuna smiled nervously, moistening her lips with her tongue as she gazed upon a luscious pair before her. How she secretly longed to kiss to those lips. What would he do if she were to try and kiss him right now? Thinking the same, Tidus leaned his forehead against Yuna's, edging his way towards her lips with his own. Yuna noticed the heated tension between them and began to back away a few inches, however, that only made Tidus move in even closer.
"Yuna. . ." Tidus whispered seductively, brushing a few loose strands of chestnut from the side of her face. Yuna smiled nervously as she watched Tidus lean in even more, his lips parting slightly. Yuna herself closed her eyes, barely parting her lips.
Voices suddenly broke the silence. Tidus and Yuna gasped loudly, pulling apart as they gazed upon the window above and they quickly headed up towards the opened window.
"Who is that?" Tidus pondered
"I can't tell." Yuna said as she tried to get a look at who it was that was talking.
A pair of sinister eyes slowly turned, glaring at the four goons that stood off in the distance as he picked at his nails with a rather large hunting knife. He then took the knife and thrust the blade deep into the wooden table that sat to the right of him.
"Boss, can't hurry up?" complained one of the goons. "We're tired of waiting."
"The shipment will be sent out soon enough." the man said as he began to walk forward.
"But I thought you said- -" the goon began-.
"Quiet!" the man urged as he listened for the slightest hint of a noise. "Someone is here!"
Tidus shook his head as he moved away from the window, looking at Yuna who was wondering what in the world was going on and why they hadn't proceeded onward.
"He heard you!" Tidus whispered.
"Me!" Yuna pondered, placing her hand on her chest. "You were the one that farted!"
"I did not fart!" Tidus said
"Then who- -" Yuna began though was cut short by a major sound. "Gross!"
A huge fart was let off in the distance below. . .
Tidus broke into whispered laughter as Yuna began to wave her hand in front of her face. She looked down only to see a good below breaking wind and sighing in relief about it. The goon then proceeded onward.
"You think the stupidest things are funny, don't you?" Yuna asked through clinched teeth.
"Not nice to talk about yourself like that." Tidus said while glancing inside to see in the coast was clear.
Yuna's mouth instantly dropped at that remark. "I beg your pardon!"
"Shhh!" Tidus said, looking at Yuna then back inside.
"Don't you shush me, mister!" Yuna warned.
Tidus immediately grabbed her, placing his hand over her mouth. Her eyes widened in shock though quickly began to glare at him. With an aggravated sigh, Tidus began to speak.
"You need to be quiet." Tidus said. "We are only 2 feet away from the head boss, because he is right under the window. One false move, one sound and his goons will be all over us like bees on honey." Yuna kept a cold stare on him. "Now, I am going to take my hand away from your mouth and you are going to be quiet, aren't you?" Yuna shook her head. "Yuna!" Yuna began to babble at him, however, her words were muffed out due to where his hand was still over her mouth, which he didn't remove until she at last stopped babbling all together.
"You are impossible!" Yuna spatted at him.
Tidus looked inside once again and when he seen that everyone was gone, he knew that it was now or never. "Let's move." And with that said, the proceeded onward, unaware of what possibly awaited them inside. Tidus jumped down as did Yuna. He looked around, however, stopped dead in his track when he heard a sinister cackle coming from behind.
"How nice of you to join us!" the man said.
Tidus turned only to be greeted by the handle of a hand gun and was immediately knocked unconscious. Yuna gasped, kneeling to his side as she looked at their nemesis before her as three goons stepped forth and aimed their guns at her.
"What shall we do with her, boss?"
"Leave her to me." the head henchman said as he approached a very vulnerable Yuna.
