Love Struck

Chapter 194 – Weird

Shadow's POV Next Day

So...I went to sleep finally after all that happened last night.

Feeling weird for basically the whole morning all I could think about was Raptor and what he did to me. It was stuck in my head, like someone burned it to my brain. I don't know how he's doing simply cause I haven't seen him since he left to do whatever it was to stop Reacher from preforming an attack on the city. All I know is he must feel awkward considering the look he gave me when we woke up for breakfast. After that he took Dom, Archer, Carver, and Hannon out to the boarders. They also took all the C4 and mines we had in storage. I can guess what they're for.

As I went to find someone all I was hoping was no one knew about the little accident.

Entering my office I found Alicia behind her desk.

Instantly she smiled and shouted.

"I heard you kissed my man!"

Immediately I shut the door and locked it.

"It was an accident!"

Alicia smiled as I blushed red and replied.

"He told me when I came by to see him. I will admit it was pretty funny. He had to have been out of it to think you were me."

Relaxing I replied.

"Yeah."

Slowly I came to her in front of the desk.

"So?" She asked as I gave her a look of confusion.

"So what?" I replied as she asked.

"Did he taste good!?" She asked while cracking up.

"Shut up!" I shouted as she died in her chair.

"Does anyone else know!?" I asked as she replied.

"No! Just me!"

Feeling safer I replied.

"I wanted to know why you called me here?"

Alicia tried to relax and in laughter she replied.

"For that and what you asked Raptor last night about Midnight!"

Slowly she calmed down and I asked.

"Did you talk about it?"

"There was no point in talking about it. Raptor wants me to have his kid." She replied as I felt sorrow.

Alicia had me fooled till she shouted.

"But since that won't be for a while we wanted to take care of her!"

Immediately bringing a smile to my face I replied.

"I can't thank you enough!"

"It's fine really! We love Midnight!" Stated Alicia as I replied.

"You better go get her, cause she's been all over Silver since last night!"

"I heard he's fluffy! Haha!" Laughed Alicia as I replied.

"Yeah."

"You ok?" Asked Alicia as I replied.

"I'm fine. Just a little embarrassed still."

"You shouldn't be! Raptor must love you!" Stated Alicia as I went to grab her.

Quickly she evaded me and I pointed at her.

"Not a word to anyone!"

"Got it!" She replied with a smile as I went for the door.

Raptor's POV

"How many more!?" Asked Archer as I replied.

"We nearly done don't complain!"

"We have enough planted to blow up china!" Replied Archer as Hannon shouted back.

"It will be enough to make Reacher fall back!"

"I hope!" Replied Archer as I set down another mine.

"You ok Raptor!?" Asked Carver as I broke from thought.

"Yeah! I'm fine!"

Looking back at my mine I went to arm it.

I really wasn't ok. Shadow still covered my lips. I can't believe I did that to him. I wish he would have seen what I did to know I wasn't kidding when I said I thought he was Alicia.

As I thought Hannon suddenly shouted.

"Can you guys finish!? I got to get ready to go out to dinner with Shadow!"

"You two dating!?" Asked Dom as Hannon replied.

"Watch it Dom!"

Dom just laughed as I replied.

"Yeah!"

Hannon nodded and finished arming his C4. Once it was set I watched as he went into one of the Humvees and drove off.

At least he bought Shadow dinner first.

Shadow's POV 5:00pm

My suit remained in the closet along with the M1911 and I was all ready to go. My dress shirt looked good and my dress pants were neat. I had other things too, but I guess I'm not really expecting much but Blaze. My M9 at my side and armor under the shirt just in case of anything, plus a little surprise.

"Knock! Knock!"

I looked up to see Raptor there.

Smiling I laughed and asked.

"Come back for another taste?"

Raptor immediately shut the door and replied.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know. I thought you were Alicia."

"Sure." I replied as he gave me a look of confusion.

"Shadow I like women. Not men." He stated as I laughed.

"Are you sure?" I asked as he came at me.

"Trust me if I was into men I could do a lot better then you." Replied Raptor as I stopped with my shoes to widen my eyes in shock.

"Ghost said that too." I thought to myself as he came back to me.

"You ready to do this?" Asked Raptor as I broke from thought.

"Yeah." I replied as he asked.

"So how do we do this?"

"At six thirty you call her and say what I told you to say." I replied as he questioned.

"What is the problem with her anyway? You never told me a thing of why you want me to do this."

"I think she's giving Reacher Intel. I'll know if she gets up when you call her to talk in private."

Raptor widened his eyes and asked.

"What about Silver? If you just kill her there he'll fucking lose it!"

"I'll make sure he doesn't. But when you call her start recording the conversation as evidence to him. He'll hate me, but I can't have her ruining this for us." I stated as Raptor nodded.

"Alright. I hope this works. Are you sure you don't want to wait till we're back here? Silver shouldn't have to see her get shot right at the table." Stated Raptor as I nodded.

"I'll see."

Raptor nodded one last time and turned for the door.

Quickly as a joke I whistled.

Raptor immediately looked back at me in confusion.

In a gay voice I said.

"Keep working it honey!"

Raptor instantly lost his face of confusion and replied.

"Your asking to get your ass kicked!"

"There's only one ass I'm looking for!" I stated as he shouted.

"Shut the fuck up!"

With a laugh I watched as he left my room with a red face and a loud chuckle.

Quickly I turned straight again and stood up.

I get to fuck with him for the rest of his life for kissing me. He can't do anything about it ether that's the best part.

Moving over to my mirror I checked myself over and carefully went to fix my tie.

"You look good."

I widened my eyes to immediately turn to see her there.

I couldn't speak it was a shock.

"Come on! Out with it! Who is it for?!" Asked Amy as I stared at her.

"Amy?!" I questioned in shock as I approached her.

Amy smiled as I stopped in front of her.

She looked beautiful. She was wearing her most gorgeous dress and her hair and make up was done perfectly. She looked like an angel.

"I missed you Shadow." She stated as I reached for her.

In shock I moved my hand away the second I felt her warm skin.

Amy looked at me in confusion and asked.

"Are you ok Shadow?"

Quickly gaining control I replied.

"I'm fine! Why!?"

"You look like you've seen a Ghost, or killed one." She replied as I felt my heart begin to race.

"So where are you going?" Asked Amy as she came closer to me.

"Out to eat with Hannon and my old friend Silver and his wife Blaze."

Amy smiled a little and asked.

"So how's our son?"

Losing everything my heart stopped as she waited for an answer.

"What?" I asked in confusion as she repeated.

"How's are baby boy? You know your son? Shadow jr?"

I tried my best to hold composure as she gave me a look of confusion.

"Is he ok?" She asked as I went to reply.

"He's...! Knock! Knock! Knock!"

Looking at my door I felt my heart begin to speed and in an instant I looked back to see Amy gone.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

Trying to gain control I shouted.

"Come in!"

Slowly Hannon opened the door.

"You ready to go?" He asked as I replied.

"Yeah...I'm ready...?" I was lost as he gave me a weird look.

"You ok? You look a little pale." Stated Hannon as I replied.

"I'm ok I swear! Come on! Let's go eat!"

Hannon stared at me in confusion as I walked by him and out into the halls. In a few seconds he managed to catch up to me.

"Hey slow down. It's ok. We're going to be on time." He stated as I slowed my pace.

"Sorry." I replied as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

"It's fine. Come on. Silver is waiting for us." Stated Hannon as he led me to the entrance.

Death's POV

I watched as Shadow left the base from across on a rooftop. Watching as he went in the truck with Hannon and his other friends I looked to my side to find the body of the G.U.N assassin dead next to his sniper.

I bet Blaze is upset he didn't get the shot on Shadow when he had it.

Smiling I grabbed the assassin's sniper and made my way across the roofs till I found Shadow in his truck heading for the restaurant.

I plan on making this a fun night. I hope Blaze is ready to get three strikes.

Shadow's POV

I sat in back and waited as Blaze took a look at me.

"You don't look too good Shadow. Are you sure your ok?" She asked as I replied.

"I'm fine."

Gently I felt Silver turn my head.

"Your hot." He stated as he felt my forehead.

"I'm just worried about Reacher." I lied as he nodded.

"Don't worry about that Shadow. We have Archer and the rest on it. Thanks to Raptor he will not be ruining our night." Stated Hannon as I relaxed a bit.

Amy still filled my head.

Death's POV

Shadow wasn't looking too good it seems as I saw him through the window of the truck.

No matter. Good or not I have to do my job. I would watch your back Shadow, I won't help without you trying to help yourself first.

Watching as they stopped I stared at Shadow as he stepped out of the door along with Silver behind him.

I took a seat down on the edge of the roof and watched as they entered the restaurant.

As Shadow was greeted like a king I glanced to see a black figure coming from behind him.

"No no no." I stated as I closed my eyes.

G.U.N Assassin's POV

I held the knife in my side pocket and went in as I saw Commander Shadow enter the building.

Getting close I gripped the blade.

Just as I was about to kill him I stopped in my tracks.

Shadow's POV

I stopped to look back to see this man still. It was like he was frozen or something.

Quickly a waiter came and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Sir?" He said as the man broke from deep thought I guess.

"Oh! Sorry my good man"! He stated as I turned back to see Silver and the rest of my friends heading for the table.

Death's POV

The waiter stared at me as I held this form.

"Do you need help sir?" He asked as I replied.

"No! I'll just be going mind me!"

The waiter smiled and watched as I took this assassin out of the building.

Walking down the street I lead the body into an alley and took out the hidden knife.

"Teaches you to get in my way." I stated as I slammed the blade in my head.

"Aghhh!" I left the body and watched as the man fell over dead next to some trash cans.

Looking back at my hands I smiled and quickly went back up onto the roof.

Grabbing the gun I got down on my stomach and aimed to see Shadow and his friends through the windows. Looks like he's ordering and I know what is to come next...Mr. Wiater. I said to myself as I aimed at the waiter who was taking Shadow's order.

Shadow's POV

"I'll have the Steak." I replied to the waiter as he wrote it down along with everyone's orders.

"Alright Commander, it will be here as fast as possible!" He stated as I replied.

"Take your time, I can wait."

The waiter gave me one last weird smile and quickly left to go for the kitchen.

Death's POV Ten Minutes later

I laid here and waited as the food came out.

Shadow went to get a knife and a fork and quickly I shut my eyes.

Shadow's POV

I stopped instantly to drop my fork and knife and instantly my friends looked at me in worried looks.

"You ok Shadow?!" Asked Hannon as he took my shoulders.

I wanted to reply, but couldn't.

"Relax Shadow." I heard him say.

"What do you want!?" I asked in my head as he replied.

"Don't eat if you know what's good for you. The waiter is G.U.N." Stated Death as I felt him release me.

"Shadow?" Said Silver as I looked up.

"Yes?" I replied as Hannon asked.

"Are you ok?"

"Just a headache." I replied as Silver said.

"I think your getting sick. I say we finish here and get you to bed."

I nodded as I began to look around.

Death's POV

"Time for some fun."

I shut my eyes and focused on the waiter.

In seconds I had him. Looking around with his eyes I saw I was by the kitchen door looking at Shadow's table.

"Nice to give yourself away to him." I said to myself as I went in my carrying pouch.

Pulling out the order notepad I wrote down a few things and began to go for Shadow who was beginning to fear for his life.

Shadow's POV

I stared at the waiter and watched as he slipped me a piece of paper and continued to walk around the room.

Trying to hide it as best as I could I opened it under my legs to read.

"I got the waiter. Two to your left next to the bar and three outside on their way. Just do what you have too while I stop the one's coming."

In tension I shut the paper and placed it in my pocket.

In a bit of fear I looked at Hannon who was eating his food.

Nudging his leg he stopped to look at me.

"What's up?" He asked as he went to wipe his mouth.

Quickly I nodded to our left.

Hannon went to look but I grabbed his leg to get him to stop.

"Slowly." I whispered as he turned.

Hannon in the same pace came back and looked at me knowing the trouble we were in.

Silver saw our faces and asked.

"What's going on? You two seem distracted."

I nodded to the left and slowly he glanced over.

"Those two?" He questioned as Blaze began to look worried.

Hannon nodded and Silver watched as I began to undo my M9.

"Get her out." I ordered quietly as he asked.

"How?"

"Bathroom." Replied Hannon as we pretended to let them out.

The men watched Silver and Blaze as they went to the restrooms and Hannon and me rested back down to begin talking.

"Who you want?" He asked as I replied.

"I got the one closest to the bar."

Hannon nodded slowly and went back to eating as I gave him a signal with my left hand to wait for my draw.

He nodded and continued to eat as I pulled out my M9 from under the table.

Death's POV

I stood still above the dead waiter and smiled as the broken neck satisfied me. Looking back into the building through the window I watched as Silver and that traitor got up. Shadow must be moving them.

Refocusing I entered the street to see the group of three coming his way. They were all dressed in black coats. I let out a breath at their appearance and quickly shut my eyes.

"Ughhh!" The man I got groaned and immediately his buds stopped to ask.

"You ok?!"

Quickly I got out the man's hidden G17 and aimed at the assassin's who had no idea what was coming.

"BANG! BANG!"

They dropped with nice head holes and quickly I aimed at my head.

"BANG!"

I watched as the body hit the ground among his friends and quickly made my way back to Shadow.

Shadow's POV

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

The sound of the gunshots made the assassins at the bar panic and immediately I stood up with Hannon and aimed my M9.

The men went for theirs as we opened fire.

"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"

The two men splattered blood along the wall behind them and quickly every person in the bar ran out screaming.

As the place ran in fear I went to head for the exit.

Hannon stayed on my ass as I ran through the kitchen door.

Seeing the exit I bashed through the door and went for the Humvee where Silver and Blaze were waiting.

"Come on guys!" Shouted Blaze as I went around to get in.

Hannon almost got in when we heard rounds go off to our right.

"Toof! Toof! Toof!"

Death's POV

I panicked as Shadow's blood splashed along the Humvee.

"SHADOW!" Screamed his friend Silver as the blood hit his face.

Looking up I saw the shooter.

G.U.N assassin's POV

I smiled in shock of hitting the target and watched through my scope as he went back first into the passenger door.

Getting up I tried to run away.

Widening my eyes in confusion I saw a man in front of me.

"Where you going?" He asked as I went to aim at him.

"Toof!"

The bullet went into his chest but he didn't budge.

I panicked and went for another.

"Toof!"

The round sailed by him and in an instant he took my arm.

"AGHHH!" I screamed as he lifted me up.

I watched as he slammed my head straight into the roof.

Death's POV

Quickly as the assassin screamed I twisted his head.

"Snap!"

Quickly I pushed the body to the side and stood up to look down at the blood covered truck.

Hannon's POV

"SHADOW!" Screamed Silver as I saw Shadow get gunned down on the other side off the Humvve.

His blood splashed me and in shock I looked up to see the assassin run off.

Ignoring him I went straight to Shadow.

"Shadow!?" I shouted as I saw he was hit three times.

Quickly I went to my comm link.

"General Hannon to all forces! Commander Shadow is down! I repeat Shadow is down!"

In an instant I got a response.

"Zulu 2-9 to General Hannon! We heard the gun fire and we're a minute out from your location! What is the Commander's condition!?"

Quickly I felt for a pulse.

What do you think? Plus did anyone ask why Death is trying to save Shadow? Why would he want to do that? And didn't I say he wasn't real last night?
