Yes, I'm aware that the timings are off with when Hyde gets in the apartment but it makes sense in context basically. Hope you enjoy. x
Jade slipped through the doors and closed them behind her immediately, crouched slightly, the weight slightly on the balls of her feet, knees a little bent, her Walther held tightly in her right hand, her arm down by her side.
Jade's senses were heightened and it was like being back in her basic training again.
It was a second later that she came around the edge the main room and saw Luke fighting with someone. Jade knew inherently that she couldn't fire at him, there wasn't a clear shot. In the next second, Like had been punched in the face, a hard blow that sent him reeling back, his nose gushing blood.
Jade had put the safety on and holstered her gun in the waistband of her jeans before either of the men had moved again. She was behind the black clad figure within a second, kicking him sharply in the back of his shins, causing him to collapse to the floor.
She knew immediately who it was.
Jack Hyde.
Before he could get back up, Jade was sat straddling him, pinning him down with her legs and her hands gripping into his arms, holding them above his head, pinned to the stone floor.
In this position, Jade immediately noticed the object in Jack's right hand, clutched tightly in his hands. It was a knife, a sharp, curved hunting knife. She saw the blood on it and felt herself go cold, looking back at Luke.
She knew now why Luke hadn't been able to easily overpower Hyde, he was wearily sitting where he'd fallen back, face pale and clutching at his left shoulder, his hand covered in blood.
Her moment of distraction had allowed Hyde to wrench himself out of her grasp and immediately tried to grapple at her, a sneer in his face 'love makes you weak'. This was the last thing that Jade wanted to hear and Hyde saw her pupils dilate quickly and she knocked the knife from his hands, sending it spiralling across the stone floor, leaving smears of blood in a trail behind it.
Hyde struggled against Jade and sat up slightly- her legs still pinning down his own- he managed to scratch at her bare arm but that was it before Jade threw her head forward and hit Hyde's temple, making him crumple beneath her.
Jade immediately moved fluidly over to where Luke was, ripping open his shirt quickly to look at the wound. He looked her in the eyes, voice a little shaky 'I'm fine, Jade, I'll be okay'. She swallowed and glanced around the room 'is there anyone else?'.
Luke shook his head 'no, I saw him coming up the service steps, didn't expect him to have a fucking knife'.
Jade made a face 'some people never play fair'. She loudly whistled and a second later Taylor, Christian and Ana appeared in the room, looking horrified.
Jade's voice was authoritarian 'Taylor, call Grace Grey, get her to the hospital immediately, I assume we don't want too many questions'.
Taylor nodded and glanced at her, though she answered his question before he spoke 'it was only Hyde, it's clear'. Jade wiped the trickle of blood from her forehead and examined the wound on Luke's body and he glanced down, letting out a hollow laugh.
'At least now we'll match'.
Jade wasn't amused and Taylor moved swiftly over, car keys in hand 'come on mate, I'll take you, I've told Mrs Grey to meet us there'.
Taylor helped Luke to his feet and Jade nodded 'nothing majors been damaged, he'll be fine'. Taylor nodded and as they started moving off Jade moved over quickly, grabbing Luke's arm and pulling him back around towards her.
She kissed him suddenly and deeply. Luke dropped his arm from around Taylor's shoulders and slid his hand onto her jaw, pulling her closer to him and kissing back. It was like everything was fine again and after a few seconds, they pulled away.
Jade looked awkward, glancing at Taylor 'look after him'. He nodded 'of course'.
As Luke and Taylor left the apartment - after Taylor had handcuffed the still unconscious Hyde in a store cupboard and called the police (with an extra punch to the face to keep him out for longer)- Jade took the gun from her jeans and took the cartridge out, putting both parts of it on a side table before she looked around at Ana and Christian, who were the only ones left in the room.
Jade suddenly pushed Christian up against the opposite wall so hard that he was nearly winded. He knew his daughter was strong but he had no idea how powerful she actually was.
Her eyes were dark and hooded and she muttered darkly to him 'if you EVER let my family be put in danger like that again- you'll pay the consequences. Tonight my daughter was nearly orphaned. I grew up without a parent, and I'm not letting the same happen to my baby girl'.
Jade pushed Christian roughly back on the wall before turning and leaving the room, slamming doors behind her as she went.
Lincoln was unaware of what had happened until much later, when he was contacted to post bail for Jack Hyde.
He was pissed off to say the least, but agreed to post the bail none the less. It wan't like he didn't have the money, and he needed Jack for the last part of his plan, which was already in motion.
Lincoln was straightening his tie in the mirror before he left to post bail, vaguely noting that he had similar grey eyes to Jade, but he brushed it off without a second thought.
Please review, let me know what you think and what you want to see happen x
