A/N: I just want to say, I love Elliot. Enjoy
New Year!
The following day the corresponding police reports were made and the investigations began, Christian called his parents to let them know what had happened, he did not want them to be informed by the press, his father began the interrogation, and Christian responded with all the patience he could have in That moment, when he was satisfied with what he answered, he handed the phone to his mother.
"Son, I'm so sorry for what happened, I hope they can find the people who committed the robbery."
Christian sighed, he expected the same thing - Thank you mom, I hope so.
"Did you have to cut your journey through this problem?" Grace asked in dismay, knowing that Christian was a work obsessed.
-No mom, the negotiations were practically closed, what I have to conclude I can do from here ... .- "I only had to cut the best lunch of my life" he thought to himself-
"Oh, sweetheart, and how was dinner on Saturday?" Christian smiled involuntarily as he remembered the dance he had shared with Anastasia.
"Well, Mom, I met the honoree and I was able to talk to the headmistress, and she only had words of praise for Miss Steel.
"Good, that's fantastic, yes, Helen told me that she is an extraordinary young woman, with a will to unconditional service, I hope I can meet her." At that moment someone knocked on the door of his office. A little later Taylor came in with the police officer they were waiting for.
-Mom I have to leave you, the police are here
-Ok, honey, I love you... - Grace heard a "goodbye mom" and then silence, she loved her son with all her heart, but she could not help thinking that many times his boy was still a lost child who did not know how to respond to love.
Christian received the officer, and sent for Barney and Welch, and when they were all they explained to him what had happened, they showed him the recordings and they promised to give copies to him to verify if it coincided with a criminal, once the statements were finished and The tour, withdrew with the promise of communicating any result.
The weeks passed and December came, there was not much progress in the investigations, Barney discovered that they had actually hacked Christian's personal computer, but it got nowhere, because when they identified the IP that had been accessed, they were able to locate the Computer in a park thrown, and to the review they did not find anything else since once on, programmed a virus that erase the whole disc.
And although they had created the mirror of the mail, it could never be ascertained whether they removed anything from it, or not.
Christian's mood was horrible, he had no patience for anything, the uncertainty of not knowing what they wanted was driving him crazy, there was no publication, no demand, nothing, the police had no clues, they had concluded the same thing as they; It was a disguise that had been used, they also investigated the employees, but they found nothing strange, the checks that were done to GEH staff including security chiefs and their housekeeper, had also come to nothing, no employees had Relationship with anyone of the company that had come to work, and the debts or problems were not flashy, nobody had something that could relate to the robbery, they were in a dead end ...
-ANDREAAAA, OLIVIAAAA, Christian shouted, his secretaries entered quickly, these days it was not convenient to make the boss angry
-Mr. Grey, "they both said at the same time.
"Who was the one who programmed the Markerson meeting without consulting me," Christian said.
Andrea paled and Olivia trembled, the last one scheduled, but she was sure she had told him
-Mr. Grey ... I - but she could not continue since Christian cut her off with a wave of her hand
"How dare you," he said in a very low but threatening voice, "to decide for me? Your job is to do what I tell you, not the opposite
"Yes ... sir." Olivia swallowed hard.
"Canceled ... now." With that, he looked back at his monitor, they both hurried out of the office, and outside they let out the air they were holding, looked at each other, and sighed.
"That was not so bad," Andrea said in a whisper.
"Yes," Olivia said, shivering slightly. "I'd better do as he told me."
Ana was excited, in a few days she would return to Seattle, Ethan had already returned from his tour and brought good news, the foreign business practically managed alone, so the presence of both would only be necessary sporadically; The hotels in New York were also at their best, Ethan was able to meet with the managers and after several meetings, concluded that both were excellent in their work, and that would monitor them from a distance, with Ana decided that he would take care of Hotels Seattle and she of SIP and the foundation that would open in Seattle.
Kate had finished her internship, and although she ruined an interview, her boss gave her an excellent recommendation, so in the end it had all worked out, the only thing they both felt was separating from Mike, he had become a very important friend with Who shared almost all the free time they had, and while he would always be in charge of the legal part of business in NY, they would not see each other as often. He recommended Ana, a very renowned colleague to help her with the legal part in Seattle mainly with the constitution of the new foundation and SIP, since because his father was retiring he could not fly so often.
And so after several days it was time to leave, Ana would return but did not know when, was very grateful for her time in NY, had changed a lot, was not the same young woman who had arrived 6 months ago, this was a new Ana .
When they arrived in Seattle, Ana went directly to Montesano to spend Christmas with her father, had many things to tell, and she missed him, Kate would stay in the city and spend Christmas with her parents and her brother, but both were, In which, Ana would return after New Year to take her place in SIP and look for a new department.
The Christmas went by without much news for Christian, that night he dined at his parents' house and New Year's Eve, he thought about going to work, it was not strange in him since the GEH attack, he had been constantly losing his head and sinking deeper into Work, he lived constantly stressed, and he knew he needed a submissive, but he could not get the idea of any, and not because there were no candidates, Elena was responsible for sending a new prospect every week, the problem was that he did not feel desires For none of them, all had a defect, very thin, very high, too many limits, few limits, etc. Elena was fed up and Christian did not have the patience to deal with her.
It was at 11:00 PM on December 31st, he was looking out of the living room of his apartment when he heard the noise of the elevator, he knew they were neither Taylor nor Gail, he had given them the day off and they would be back just the next day in the afternoon.
"Little brother," cried Elliot, entering the room, wearing a bonnet hat, black jeans, a white shirt, and a leather jacket, his bonnet bearing balloon designs, but when he drew nearer, Christian noted that they were pictures of breasts of women.
"Elliot," Christian greeted formally with a nod of his head, "to what do I owe the honor, I thought you'd be at a party."
"Me too," he said, approaching the bar to pour whiskey for himself and another for his brother, "but I assumed you would be alone here; As you sent Dad, Mom and Mia to your house in Aspen, I thought you would need company. "He handed the glass to her and Christian frowned.
"No," he said, drinking from his glass, "I do not want company."
Elliot did not take it personal, he knew what Christian was like, but deep down, he knew his brother loved him. He gave him a pat on the shoulder, respecting his limits as always, and stood beside him, took a sip of his drink and looked at the city in silence, Christian remorse the conscience, should not relieve his tension with Elliot, he had done nothing but come to see him, to spend a holiday with him, he was being a real idiot ... he sighed.
"Forgive me Elliot," he said, running his hand through his hair. "I should not have told you that, lately I've been very stressed. Elliot turned to look at him, he knew because his brother was like that, and that was the reason why he did not want him to be alone.
"Nothing happens, little brother, you know more about the robbery, did you hear from him?"Christian sipped his drink and headed back to the bar to refill his glass.
-No, and that's what worries me the most, in my mail there are very personal things that if they come to light could ruin me. Elliot nodded, Christian had confessed shortly after the debacle of Libi his lifestyle and his tastes, and shortly after the attack on GEH had called him to tell him that he was robbed and that probably accessed his email containing information of his submissives And other sensitive issues.
Christian was watching his brother, he knew that after this funny and humorous image he had a great friend he could trust, that's why he told him about his lifestyle, but he never told him, it was Elena who introduced him to that world, He feared that if he told that, he would judge him and be disappointed, and he loved the relationship he had with Elliot too much to cause a distancing.
Elliot had come up with the idea of making his brother forget his troubles at least one night, so he set his plan in motion.
-Well Chris, - looking at his watch - it's getting late so go and change that we should go.
Christian raised a questioning eyebrow.
-You did not think we were going to spend the two of us alone in this giant apartment on New Year's Eve ... Noooooo, we'll go to a club to drink, to see people and to dance
-Elliot I do not feel like socializing with any of your friends tonight
-Well you are lucky; tonight is brothers, so let's get ready.
-Elliot I do not feel like leaving, I have contracts to finish and I must check ... -but Elliot did not let him finish
"Christian, you're 29, you're young, one night that you do not work will not bankrupt your business, I do not want to listen to you, so quickly change yourself while I wait for you.
Christian was going to discuss it again, but he thought better of it, Elliot was right, aside he was grateful that his brother had decided to spend the night with him, he certainly did not deserve his family. So, he went and changed, put on dark blue jeans, a black shirt, a black jacket and went to the room, together headed for the elevator.
"And where shall we go?" Christian asked.
"Oh, I think I know the owner of Mile High Club, do you think we can get in?" - Elliot asked laughing, Christian smiled wryly shaking his head, no doubt this would be a memorable night.
The next day Christian woke up with a hangover from those, never in his life had he drunk as much as last night, did not even remember how he had come to his house, the last thing he remembered was the contest of who drinks more, which Elliot had Organized with some people who were in the VIP section. Although he had kept his word and no woman was hanging around him, as soon as they began to drink he became very communicative and began to talk to all the people around him, as he opened the door of the VIP section And let everyone in.
When he got up in bed he found himself fully dressed, he had not even taken off his shoes.
He looked around and confirmed that he had not vomited, the last thing he wanted was to have to clean, since Gail would not arrive until afternoon, when he checked the hour confirmed that it was past noon, did not know what time exactly there was Returned, but presumed it would have been near dawn.
He went straight to the shower and after a bath of ice water he recovered some sense, took an aspirin that he found in his cabinet and got dressed, put on a pair of light jeans and a black v-neck shirt, and left his room , Walked to the kitchen to look for something to eat.
As he descended the last few steps, thinking how Elliot would have come to his house, he looked up and froze in his place.
The room was full, in the armchairs and on the floor were bodies scattered both women and men, there were about ten people, all dressed but totally unconscious, all over the floor were empty bottles and plates thrown, looked with his eyes and his anger Grew when he met his goal.
In the middle of the room in the largest white armchair was Elliot, face up with his legs spread open, one hanging out of the chair and another leaning on the back, one arm covering his face and the other on the floor, completely naked, Christian Tried to count to 10 to calm his anger, but the expected effect did not arise and lightning came down the last section of the stairs, and the shouts awoke everyone.
-ELLIOT, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED, WHAT IS THIS ? Eliot was startled by the scream, and with a dull thud fell to the floor, Christian's cry made everyone begin to wake up.
"Chris ... God ... why do you have to scream?" - he said getting up little by little, with closed eyes and rubbing its buttock, where it had hit.
When the others woke up Christian looked at them with a murderous face, quickly they all sat up and looked around, no one was sure how he got there. He took a few steps back and went to the door, opened it wide and in a voice that would have scared the devil himself threw them all from his house.
-OUT, GET OUT IMMEDIATELY! He shouted, everyone hurried out and entered the elevator at once, no one wanted to stay for another minute in that place, Christian thought he had to change the access codes, but before he would kill his brother.
Elliot stood up, stretching, yawning and scratching, he was totally relaxed, last night's party had been sensational, and while it was not over with any woman it had been great.
- I can know why shit, YOU NAKED, AND WHO THE HELL WERE THOSE WHO WERE IN MY HOUSE!? - The last Christian said it screaming and the headache returned, Elliot was still standing there undeterred.
-They were the friends we were with last night; do not you remember when you said we could continue the party at your house? - With this, Christian stepped back, he had said WHAT? That was impossible...
-You're crazy; I would never invite anyone to my house, much less drunk, God if the press finds out about this, and if someone took photos? Christian was furiously running his hand through his hair, this was a monumental shit.
Elliot walked to the kitchen and Christian followed, opened the refrigerator and after checking the contents, took a carton of juice and drank.
"Calm little brother, you made everyone leave their cell phones at the club reception and you took the data from everyone and sent them to Taylor to send them a copy of the confidentiality agreement and they will take the electronic signature as valid, Receive and take effect - said this and finished drinking the juice, Christian looked at him stupefied.
"And how do you remember this and why the hell are you naked?" He growled, Elliot made a twinkle.
"I have better tolerance for alcohol than you do, and Tiger likes to feel freedom when he sleeps," he said, raising his eyebrows suggestively and pointing his hands at his member. "Are we going to have breakfast?"
"You're going to clean up the mess before Gail arrives and for God's sake can you put some clothes on!."
At that moment the kitchen door was opened, which connected the access to the personnel department, and a very smiling Gail entered, who, seeing the spectacle, stood in one piece and blushed furiously
"Excuse me ... Sr ... I ..." And she could not finish the sentence, quickly covered her eyes and stood still. Christian put on all the colors and covered his face with his hand, his brother was naked in front of his housekeeper, could anything more embarrassing happen?
Elliot found it all very amusing, approached Gail, kissed her on the cheek and wished her a happy new year, then walked back into the living room.
"I'm going to take a shower, when I come back and after breakfast, I'll fix everything, by the way Gail," he said humorously before leaving, the one just made a nod to confirm that she was listening, she was still red. Don´t tell Taylor what you saw, in case he can´t match the competition, I don`t want him to feel bad. "And after that he left, if it could be, Gail turned redder, she knew Elliot was joking, but just as it had been all very shameful, Christian was speechless, whispered a sorry to Gail and retired in search of Elliot to drown him in the shower.
