"Okay, if you can get the acid for-" Logan was cut off mid-sentance when his younger, blonde cousin came in practically dancing with a huge smile on his face. It warmed Logan's heart to see Kendall so happy after what happened to him many months ago. The reason why he's living with Logan in the first place.

His last boyfriend use to beat the holy hell out of him and said if he told anyone he would go to his parents house and murder his family. Thinking that he wasn't all surious, he told Logan about his boyfriend, Travis, and what he said he would do if he told anyone. He only told Logan because he thought the secret would be safe with him. But Travis found out and I think you know the rest. Kendall was only sixteen, and hasn't been the same since. When Logan found out that he went though with it, he wanted to hunt him down and gut him like a fish. Of course when he went to Travis' house the b*** had already skipped town. Logan's been locating him ever since.

Logan excused himself from his gang of followers to go see his cousin and find out why he is so happy, and today of all days. He just worked a twelve hour shift which must have been hell and today was also the anniversary of his family's passing.

"Hey you, why so happy? Not that it's a bad thing." Logan asked, leaning against the door frame of the kitchen to watch his cousin unload his work bag and prepare dinner. Kendall turned around to face his cousin with a huge smile placed upon his face, a real smile and not one of those fake ones that you wear to keep people from worrying about you. "Oh nothing, it's just," he stops then turns away from Logan going back to the task at hand of making supper.

"Just..." Logan edges on for Kendall to finish what he was going to say.

"Well, it's just that I met someone really nice today at work." Kendall said and blushed at the very thought of James smiling sweetly at him and remembering how he saved him from Jett and Dak that afternoon.

"Oh? And who is he?" Logan asked, wanting to know who has caught his baby cousin's attention.

"Well, his name is James and he is SO sweet Logan. He saved me from Jett and Dak this afternoon when they came in."

"Wow, that was really nice of him to do. Are you sure you don't like him just because he saved you from two perverts?" Logan asked, coming more into his kitchen.

"Logan, he's a really sweet guy and very handsome. When he smiles I swear I feel my heart melt, but don't worry I'm going to get to know him better before anything will happen between us." Kendall mused to Logan as he started peeling carrots in the sink.

Then Logan started to think about the name. James. Could it be James Diamond? The very same James Diamond that he's planning to kill in the next few weeks so he can take over his land? If that is the same person and he goes through with killing him, Kendall will be crushed all over again and this time, it will be his fault.

"Did you say his name was James?"

"Yeah."

"James Diamond?" Logan asked, raising an eyebrow at Kendall even though he doesn't know it because he's busy peeling.

"Yeah, why?"

Logan was going to kick himself for this and he knows it's better to nip this in the bud now than have a big mess to clean up later.

"Kendall, you can't ever date him."

Kendall put down the peeler and the carrot to face Logan with a look of confusion, "Why the hell not Logan? That's MY choice."

"Because I don't want you to. And yes, I know that's your choice but things would be a whole lot easier if you didn't." Logan explained.

Feeling angry, upset, and sad all at the same time, Kendall ran from the kitchen with tears falling from his emerald-green eyes, down his pale face and onto the floor as the thought of not being aloud to see James again sunk in. Who did Logan think he was anyway? Kendall layed down on his bed and buried his face in his pillow and just let the tears fall.

Logan can't stop him from seeing James. If Kendall wants to at least be James' friend then there is nothing in this whole wide world that can stop him. Not even Logan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

James entered his headquarters which also happens to be his house. He was feeling over the moon about a certain blonde waiter that he finally got to meet today. He couldn't stop thinking about Kendall he was in his every thought.

When he went into the livingroom he was greeted by Carlos who was just sitting on his black leather couch watching My Strange Addiction on TLC. James cleared his throat and Carlos nearly jumped half a foot in the air before turning the TV off and standing up straight.

"Hey boss," Carlos said with a bit of a goofy smile, knowing he'd been caught. James just rolled his eyes.
"What are you doing here? Don't you have work to do?"

"Actually no, you haven't given me anything to do for today."

"Oh, well than how about you do a patrol or something?" James suggested. Carlos then gave James a childish pout.
"But Jaaaaames, patrol is so booooring." He whinned.

"Don't care, you're the one who wanted something to do." With that, James left Carlos to go upstairs and into his room. He then stripped down to his boxers and made his way to his attached bathroom to take a shower. When he was done, he put on fresh boxers and a grey muscle shirt with dark skinny jeans and his favorite leather jacket and gloves. When he was done changing, he went back downstairs to take care of buisness.

"Tony, Matt, you two are coming with me. We're going to the warehouse for a special meeting with a very special client." Both Tony and Matt nodded their heads and all three of them left to take care of buisness as usual.
