[Text from Luisa:] Are you okay?
[Text] I’m okay, I’m not hurt.[Text] No one in my pack was involved with it
[Text:] Ahahah
[Text:] A trip to the park might help give your walls a break.
[Text:] If you’re not too busy.
[Text] I could swap paint for mud
[Text] Would you want to come too?
Gillette nodded and sat down across from him. She bent over in her seat and plugged the charger in, putting it into her flip phone and letting it settle on the corner of the table. It wasn’t like she texted much anyway. “Um, sure, an ice tea sounds good.” She agreed. She could spring for an iced tea. She’d been pretty thrifty lately with her money and without the cost of living in an apartment, she was saving tones. Three bucks was something she could spare right now. “So.. Where do you work?”
David winked at her. “You don’t remember?” He teased, finally placing the waitress from weeks ago. “I’m the head of security for the Lewellyn Pack. You’re that cute waitress who brought me coffee, aren’t you? The one who said she was from the Argent family. You ever get any of that evil alpha killing down?”
“The real reason you’re a hero is that you have a charger that actually works on my phone.” Gillette said mostly to herself, shaking her head a bit at him. “No, I don’t have anything to call anyway. Thanks, though.” She said, shifting a bit awkwardly. “Do you want me to sit here, or back over there.. Or..?”
“Here’s good.” He said with a laugh. “I could use the company, I’ve kind of been lost in work lately.” And ruining things with his girlfriend. He’d been avoiding everyone lately, it would be nice to have someone to talk to. “You want an ice tea or something? It’s so hot today.”
“Ugh, thank you so much. My phone died almost an hour ago and everyone keeps saying they don’t have one.” Gillette said, brushing some hair behind her ear. “Thank you.”
“No problem, it’s my job to be a hero.” David teased and handed over the cord. “You might be able to get a few minutes out of that. You stuck though? You want me to call someone for you?”
[Text from Luisa:] Are you okay?
[Text] I’m okay, I’m not hurt.[Text] No one in my pack was involved with it
[Text:] I don’t think it’s okay yet.
[Delayed text]
[Text:] How’s Arjun?
[Text] He’s okay. He’s learning how to finger paint.
[Text] In hindsight, that was probably a mistake.
“Do you have a phone charger I can borrow? The crappy one I have frayed and won’t charge it anymore.”
“Uh, I think so?” David dug around in his bag for a cord. “I’m sure I’ve got a charger around here somewhere.”
[Text from Luisa:] Are you okay?
[Text] I’m okay, I’m not hurt.[Text] No one in my pack was involved with it
[Text:] You’re a hard person to think about, David.
[Text] I’m sorry for making you worry. I’m sorry for everything.
Blinking a few times, Otto reach up and rubbed one of his cheeks. “Oh, damn, really? Where?” He asked trying to push at his face to get the marker off.
David grinned cheekily. “Sorry, gotcha. I couldn’t resist. David Whitten, sir. I’m here to assist as a sign of good will from my Alpha, pakc Llewllyn.”
“I am listening.” Otto assured the other. “Just been pulling all nighters at the hospital. Do you mind repeating that last part?”
“Sorry, I said that you accidentally got marker on your face. Don’t worry, happens to me all the time.”
[Text from Luisa:] Are you okay?
[Text] I’m okay, I’m not hurt.[Text] No one in my pack was involved with it
[Text:] I saw it on the news
[Text:] I don’t want you to be the next person I see on the news
[Text] Nothing is going to happen to me, I promise.
[Text] I’m not going anywhere. I won’t leave unless you want me to go.
[Text from Luisa:] Are you okay?
[Text] I'm okay, I'm not hurt.[Text] No one in my pack was involved with it
“Isn’t it your job to protect your alpha? Your job will be kind of futile if you’re dead,” she replied, trying to get him to see the graveness of the situation. Which of course, he probably did. He had to. There was a person lying dead on the floor, and maybe more than that in the crowd. She didn’t know at this point, and she didn’t even know if she wanted to know. She shook her head at his statement. There didn’t seem to be any point in arguing with him; she was sure he’d try to go after the threat no matter what she said. She doubted she’d be able to stop him.
“My alpha is safe, my job is to protect the other alphas too.” And as many other innocent people he could. He’d turned his back on someone before and had lost them, if he could save people now, then he had a responsibility to act. “Just stay down.” He barked the order and left Kira to fight his way through the crowd. Someone here would smell like gunpowder, someone would be a little too calm. All he had to do was find them.
“How do you accidentally chat with someone for-” Days? Oh god no, weeks. Months, almost. Luisa couldn’t think about now, not with the wave of shame and betrayal that batted against her, threatening to drag her down. She wanted to stare David down, make him understand just how uncomfortable it felt to be in her position. She couldn’t meet his eye, and it was easier to stop trying. “Sorry, wrong number works for most people, David.”
His voice trembled towards the end, nowhere near as scathing as she would have liked. He hadn’t looked for her, but he apparently thought about it, and Luisa wasn’t sure she could believe him right now. “I’m - I just can’t be here right now.” She said, hands balled into fists as she snatched her car keys off the table. “When I get back…”
She sent him a look over her shoulder, hoping that made sense of everything when she was struggling to herself.
David hunched his shoulders, regretting every word. He’d wanted so badly to tell her the truth, she was too important to lie to. Now, he wished he’d never opened his mouth. The guilt was better than ruining everything because he’d made a stupid mistake before he’d even known Luisa. Or how much he’d come to care about her.
“This is your place, I should be the one to go. I’m the one who screwed up, Luisa.” Stupid, stupid, stupid. He was so used to things going wrong that the second his life had turned around, he started sabotaging himself. He moved towards the door to show himself out.
“Just...know that I’m sorry. I never in a million years meant to hurt you. I never thought we’d even meet. I just thought you were wonderful. I’m so sorry.”
“And do what if you do? Get shot? You’re not going to be able to help anyone if you’re dead!” If the crazy person had been without a gun, it would still be dangerous. He couldn’t very well go after a crazy person with a gun. “Just help me get people out. If the cops have been called, they’re more equipped to handle the shooter. They have helmets and bullet proof vests and stuff,” she said, hoping that he’d listen to her. Going after someone with a gun who clearly wasn’t afraid to shoot to kill just sounded like a plan for suicide. She couldn’t let him do that, but she wasn’t sure if she’d be able to stop him. She had to at least try, though, she knew that. There had already been more than enough death today. If she could try to prevent any more, she would.
“I’m a guard, getting shot is part of the job.” David said matter-of-factly. He wasn’t afraid, this was what he’d trained for. There were enough people to help and his alpha was safe, finding the shooter was the priority before they managed to slip out with the crowd. If he could pick up the scent of gunpowder, maybe he could actually find who was responsible. “Go find the police and help everyone out, I’ve got this.”
“Omega’s these days are just so insufferable, you’d think they’d know better than to run off with an Alphas child.”
David quirked an eyebrow in surprise. Someone had stolen an alpha’s child? That was almost unthinkable. “Are you alright, sir? Is there something I can do?”
Kira hadn’t been expecting much when she came back to Beacon Hills. No grand welcome, just running into people she used to know here and there. She was staying with her parents until she found a place she could afford, enrolled in college classes to follow in her dad’s footsteps of being a teacher. However, she had no idea how he handled high schoolers every day. No, she’d be perfectly fine in elementary (my dear Watson). What she hadn’t been expecting, though, was for gunfire to break out at this political gathering. Everyone around her began to take cover, the smart thing to do. She wasn’t prepared to handle this. Her belt that turned into a sword was rendered completely useless against someone with a gun. She looked around, as though if she found the source, she could do something about it. Everything was chaos, though, and she felt powerless.
David’s training took over in an instant. He tackled his alpha to the floor, shielding his body from any attack. When it was safe to move, he passed the rattled alpha to his team and whisked him away through the crowd and back to the safety of his estate. David stayed behind. His duty was to his alpha, but now that he was safe, he could focus on the others and try and evacuate as many as possible. It was too late to save the target, the poor omega was lying dead on the stage, but there were other innocents that needed help. He put a hand on Kira’s shoulder, shoving her towards the door. “Get as many people as you can and get them out. I’m going to find the shooter.”
“Gone for a few days and this is what I come home to.”
“David right? Who am I putting this under? What day? I require a five hundred dollar deposit fee and then the fee itself will be close to three thousand for betas.”
“For betas?” David blinked, a little taken aback. Was he going to get short-changed because of his dynamic? “I, ah...I guess that would be okay, Alpha. It’s for me, you can put it under David Whitten. I was hoping that we could get a little bit of a private gathering?”
