It was the next day and Declan was feeling better. His wound was healed closed now and he didn't feel as much strain on it anymore. He came to the breakfast table to find Aiden was reading the paper and eating some eggs. Aiden said "Made you some, their on the encounter." "Oh thank you." Declan replied with a smile. He sat down and prayed and then began to eat.
As he did this Aiden brought down his newspaper and said "Maybe you should take the day off. You got hurt pretty bad yesterday." Declan sighed mentally and said cheerily "I'm perfectly fine. Don't worry. The doctors said I could come back to work today no problem." Aiden didn't reply as he went back to reading the paper.
Declan frowned slightly at this a bit worried. He could usually tell what was on his brother's mind, now he didn't have a clue. Suddenly their radio's clicked and an announcement said "Calling all units a bank robbery is in progress, repeat bank robbery in progress." Goodcop swallowed his last bit of food and said "Well duty calls. Let's go buddy." Again Aiden said nothing, not even grunt. Declan was getting a little worried about that.
The two rushed off to their cruiser, Aiden taken the wheel again. Declan swears he sometimes thought his brother had control issues. They rushed silently to the scene of the crime, this wasn't uncommon but this silence was more thick. Declan said "So who do you think is doing this?" Aiden just said "Don't care, but whoever they are they're getting a chair to the face." Now that was more like his brother.
With the tension down they spoke no more on the way to the bank. Once there Declan grabbed the door to get out but for some reason it wouldn't budge. He noticed the car was locked and he tried opening the lock but, click click lick, it wouldn't budge. "Hey what's wrong with this?" Suddenly he heard the other door slam shut and saw Aiden had gotten out and pressed a button. Locking his side of the door.
Declan's eyes widened as he said "Aiden what are you doing?" "Keeping you safe." Replied the older twin as he rushed off. "Aiden get back here, pleas open the door." Declan struggled with the locks to no avail they were locked with these new code protected locks, and for some reason his code didn't work. When did his brother even have time to change it?
Aiden ignored the pleas of his brother, he reminded himself he was doing this for his own good. He rushed in first as usual, his team behind him. He yelled "Alright you scum bags get out here!" "Never coppers. And don't try anything we've got hostages." Yelled a thug from inside. Badcop growled as he said "Fine, I like the hard way."
He shouted "You two run around to the back, you three keep the civilians at bay. And you cover me. I'm going in." he rushed once more breaking the door down. He brought his taser up saying "Back off you scum and let the hostages go." One man in black said "Not a chance Badcop, we're not afraid of you."
The man pulled up his gun and shot, Badcop dodged but still got nicked at the arm, nothing serious but it still hurt. He had hid behind a pole and held his arm. The pain was horrible but he didn't let a sound out. He got back up and said "Big mistake." He grabbed a chair and kicked it.
Everyone was silent as the bank fell quite after a few moments of a fight and a struggle, but soon the four officers that had gone in came out with each of the thugs in cuffs. "Yay!" everyone cheered as the cops came out. Another set of officers came and took them to their cars and to the station.
Badcop started walking towards his car and one of the rookies said "Great job Chief but where's Goodcop." He stopped in mid stride saying "He won't be on mission for a while." Another rookie then said "Then why is he locked up in your cruiser. Yikes. He doesn't look happy." Badcop looked at the cruiser to find his brother glaring at him as he stuck his fact at the window with a red spreading over his face.
One cop said "No offence but a glare doesn't look good on him." "Neither does the color red." Said Officer Rose. There were very few times Aiden felt shock and this was one of those times. This was the first time he'd ever seen his brother so angry, and he knew it was his fault as he felt an uneasy feeling in his chest. Not that anyone could tell as his face stayed neutral.
The door to the cops' home slammed open but not by who you expected. Goodcup stomped in, his faces still red and angry from the situation. Badcop stride in carefully, he had never seen his brother so mad. On the way here Declan had stayed silent and refused to look at him, he felt a slight twinge at that but didn't show it.
But now as they entered their home he found Declan pacing back and forth furiously as he said "What was that? How could you do that to me? I'm an equal member of the team Aiden, we are both the chief officers. I know your being overprotective after the incident with business but you're going too far. Not letting my do my job, not getting to drive, sending me away when theirs an emergency, and now locking me in the cruiser. I could have had your back and then you wouldn't have gotten shot rushing in like that."
Aiden frown deepened as he said "You mean like when you rushed at that duplo?" "That was different and you know it. No one was there to help, the citizens were in danger. As one of the chief of police it's my job to protect the people!" Aiden looked down as he scrunched his fists tightly saying "You can't and you know it." D
eclan froze at this and asked "What, what do you mean?" Aiden looked up and said "You heard me. You can't do it, not alone, I was always there to watch your back and make sure you be okay. The first time I didn't I, I almost lost you and myself in the process. I wasn't going to relive that and then, then the duplo incident happened. You were almost killed once more. I almost lost you again, all because you can't handle being a cop. You could never be a cop Declan, you only passed because you where loyal, and because I was going to be with you all the time. That's the only reason you got in!"
As soon as those words came out he regretted them, he saw the look of pure betrayal in his bothers face, worse than the time when he found out what he and Business were truly doing. He wanted to take it back and he was about to when Declan rushed out the door "Declan come back I didn't mean it!" it was no use.
Declan could only feel the rush of adrenaline in his ears. Aiden rushed out after him trying to catch up to him. Declan didn't let him. His brother may of thought him week but they were physically the same. They both worked out the same to stay fit for their jobs. Declan only ran, he could maneuver himself around the city even with his eyes blurry by tears. Aiden tried running as fast as he could, almost catching up to his brother, but he didn't suspect what happened next.
Declan ducked into an ally, Aiden went after him but it was tough as he had turned over some trash cans, he could jumped over those but it would make him lose time. What Aiden didn't know was that Declan had climbed up the fire escape, he had thrown he trash cans down to make him think he was still running. He sniffed a bit, his heart clenched at what his brother had said.
Nothing had ever hurt him so badly. He didn't want to go back home, it be to hurtful to see his own brother after what he just said. Ma and Pa lived too far away out in the country and they would only call Aiden and he really didn't want to see him right now. Then an idea popped up in his head. There was one place he could go. And so he slid down the fire escape and started running in the direction of his intended destination.
Emmet was having a nice cup of coffee while hearing the radio, relaxing on his double decker couch. He would miss this place but he and Lucy needed a bigger place once they were married, but at least it would feel more like a home since he wouldn't be alone. Suddenly he heard his door bell ring furiously.
He raised brow thinking 'Now who could that be?' the person wouldn't stop ringing and even resulted to banging the door. Emmet was confused by this but got up to looked in the peep hole and was shocked to find who was there. He opened the door quickly and said "Goodcop, what are you doing here?" "Emmet, I'm sorry to bother you buddy but…I need a place to stay." Emmet raised a brow and said "But you have a house, what happened?"
Declan swallowed down his tears as he said "Aiden and I had a fight. His over protectiveness finely went over the edge. I, I can't go back. Pleas I just need to be away from him for now." Emmet smiled saying "Oh come on it can't be that bad." Declan had a slightl glare and red face as he said "He locked me in the cruiser with the new lock protectors with a code only he knows. In the middle of a robbery." Emmet then said "Okay that is pretty bad."
Declan swallowed once more and aid "And then he said that I could of never been a cop without him." The tears finely sprung and Emmet said "Oh Goodcop." He rapped an arm around him continuing with "Maybe a few days apart would help." "Thanks buddy. I owe you one." "Nah we're friends. Come on in. I have a guest room, so that's good. But what about cloths?"
Declan replied with "I can go shopping tomorrow. I have my own card in case of emergencies. I guess this does count as one." Emmet then said "What about your job?" He shrugged saying "I never really took any vacation time. Now maybe I can. I'll call Rose at the station and tell her that I'm taking my vacation days now and that if my brother calls to tell him not to worry."
Emmet nodded and said "Well let me show you to your room. Oh this will be great. We can have like a slumber party. I always wanted to do something like that but I never really had friends as a kid so it was never really an option." Declan then said "Me neither. Sometimes Aiden and I would do our own sort of sleep over party for the two of us and sometime our parents would join." Emmet said "That's sound like fun. Well here's your room. Try to get some rest. You look tired."
Declan nodded and he said "Thanks buddy and your right I do feel really tried." Emmet nodded and walked of as Declan came into his new room and closed the door. He sighed as he leaned against the closed door and slid down a few tear slipped but he whipped them away as he grabbed his phone out, he had blocked his brothers calls so he wouldn't be bother by them since he knew he be ringing him none stop.
He dialed the police station, more specifically a certain officer and a feminine voice said "Hello." "Hello Rose its Declan I just wanted to say I'm going to be taking my vacation days now." "Oh that's good to hear you work very hard you should get a break. Is your brother doing the same?" He frown and replied with "No he isn't, by the way if he asks were I am tell him I'm okay."
"What do you mean, doesn't he not know where you are?" "Don't worry abbot it Rose it's between me and my brother." She sighed but said "Yes sir. Anything ells?" "Not that's it thank you." "You're welcome sir." And so she hung up.
Declan did the same as he walked over to his bed and slumped down. The exhaustion from running and the emotional stress won over and he fell asleep instantly. Though for some reason his dreams where not unpleasant. He dreamed of a special girl that helped him take down a duplo. He smiled in his sleep he thought 'I'll call her when I get up.'
