Re: Fill: Joe/Nicky -- Bad guy targets immortal husbands due to Joe's job (7/7)
Date: 2020-11-17 02:14 pm (UTC)Looking up, Joe saw Andy standing in the doorway of his office with an expression on her face that was a combination of confused, worried, and tired. Joe also noticed a woman he had never met before had also arrived, standing just behind Andy at the door.
“Quynh?” Nile spoke out from the floor. “What are you doing here?”
“Well, we were having a very pleasant meal just a few blocks away. But….” Andy’s voice trailed off her eyes still moving and assessing her surroundings. “Why didn’t you call 911 yet?” A dead body and a hurt Nicky, something was seriously messed up about this situation.
Quynh had made her way into the room at this point before going over to look appraisingly at the body on the ground. “David Keane. He’s a dirty cop. And, one of the top errand boys for the Merrick crime family. His uncle is also the police commissioner and an old family friend of the Merrick family.” She mused as she turned back to the people behind her. Most of them staring up at her with a confused look on their faces.
“I work for the FBI. We’ve been tracking these people's movements for months now.” She answered back to their confused faces.
“So what are we supposed to do if we can’t call the cops?” Booker asked the million dollar question of the night.
“Quynh, can you call your people at the FBI? Maybe handle this as a federal investigation?” Andy bustled about going into her 'Boss' mode that Joe both loved and was terrified of as Quynh walked out of the office pulling out her phone. “What were you doing here, Joe?”
“He wanted me to destroy all of the evidence I had collected about my investigation into the dirty cops and Merrick connection. I don’t even know what they thought I had. You know what I had, there was nothing concrete or substantial. I had just finished deleting everything off my computer and was just finishing up with shredding hard copies when everything went to hell.”
Andy was using a pencil to open up the files still sitting next to the shredder. Face contemplative, “Booker, do you think you could recover whatever Joe just deleted?”
“Oh, I definitely can.”
“Nicky needs to go to a hospital.” Nile spoke, “I'm pretty sure he has a concussion.”
“Do you think you could go with Joe and Nicky to the hospital, Nile? I don’t know what exactly happened tonight, but the level of escalation that seems to have happened from dropping off pictures this morning to whatever just happened in this office makes me want a 24 protection on you two.”
“Boss, I think I should actually stick around. I am technically the one that shot him.”
“My partner Lykon is almost here. He can escort you guys to the hospital. I trust that man with my life, so, you’ll be in good hands.” Quynh said as she walked back into the office.
Everything became a blur after that for Joe as people began to arrive and move about his office. Eventually, Lykon showed up and took Joe and Nicky to the closest hospital to get both of them checked out.
Finally having their first quiet moment together all night, Joe found them sitting quietly in a private room, Lykon standing guard outside. Nicky was laying in bed dozing on and off. Joe sat in a chair off the side, both hands grasping at Nicky's bandaged hand, his forehead pressing gently against them.
Joe started as Nicky gasped awake, wild eyes moving quickly around the room.
“Hey, hey Nicolo, you’re safe.” Joe spoke as calmly as he could as he finally made eye contact with Nicky's crazed gaze. “We’re at the hospital, remember?”
Nicky closed his eyes, letting his head fall back while nodding. “I dreamed that he had shot you. That I wasn’t quick enough.” Nicky pulled in a shuddering breath.
“Sono qui,” Joe whispered into Nicky’s palm as he gently cupped it to his face.
“He grabbed your curls,” Nicky continued as he brought his other hand over to pet at the top of Joe’s head.
“He grabbed your hair too,” Joe said looking up to make meaningful eye contact with Nicky. “Do you wanna talk about what happened?”
Nicky began to shake his head no, but the movement turned into a shrug. “I don’t know if I can go back to the apartment.” He confessed, feeling slightly embarrassed when he heard the words come out of his mouth.
“Of, course, we will figure something out,” Joe agreed immediately.
“I… he…” Nicky tried to find the words to explain how the man had now made him feel terror each time he thought about his home. Their perfect small kitchen full of soft touches now made his chest feel tight with the thought of being trapped in it. Their hardwood floors, he now had intimate knowledge of what it felt like to have his face smashed into it, repeatedly. That meal he had cooked, the thought of it now making his stomach turn.
But, he could feel more tears begin falling from his eyes and knew he didn’t have the words yet to describe what had happened tonight.
“We will figure it out hayati,” Joe smiled up at Nicky. “I am just so glad you are awake. As much as I like watching you sleep...”
“Bed head?” Nicky answered back with a smile. “Joe, I love you so much.” Despite the ache in his hands, Nicky tightened his grip on Joe’s.
“I love you too,” he answered back.
For the first time all night, Joe actually felt himself relax. He wasn’t gonna say it out loud yet, but their lives were about to change in ways he didn’t have the mental capacity to imagine. But, whatever happened, there was absolutely nobody else he would want to do it with.
“So, Booker and Nile? Who saw that coming?” Nicky mumbled sleepily with a small smile on his face.
With a laugh, Joe answered back, “Did hear how she yelled at me?”

Date: 2020-11-18 06:30 pm (UTC)I have the ideas of a sequel kinda thought out... what I am finding in actually writing down my fanfic ideas is that they never really end haha
I do think that writing a sequel would be a fun way to push my abilities because it would mostly be a lot more comfort than hurt
I am so glad that so many people have enjoyed this little universe I have created as much as I have!!!!! :)
