Chapter Three:

Tomas woke up to AJ burying his face into Tomas’s neck, he looked at the clock and saw the time. It was almost time for them to get ready, and he realized they had just about slept away the entire day. He looked at AJ and gently shook AJ awake.

“Hey AJ, wake up. We have to get ready…” He said and AJ groaned, not wanting to wake up yet.

“I don’t want to…”

“We have too, the mission is going to start soon.” AJ sighed pulling himself from Tomas and looked at him with a small pout. Tomas leaned up and kissed AJ gently, AJ almost instantly began kissing him back. Tomas quickly switched positions, so he was on top. AJ closed his eyes, hugging his neck.

Tomas nibbled on AJ’s bottom lip, and AJ gave him access. Tomas slipped his tongue past AJ’s lips and claimed dominance. AJ sighed softly into the kiss, before Tomas parted. AJ puffed his cheeks out slightly and Tomas couldn’t help but laugh slightly.

“We have to get ready. After the mission, I promise.” He said and AJ nodded his head slightly and Tomas pecked his lips before going to his closet to get ready.

“I am going back to my room.” He said and Tomas nodded. AJ left only to find Ido standing there with a grin on his face.

“I thought I was going to have to interrupt again.” He said and AJ rolled his eyes.

“We didn’t even do anything.” AJ said and Ido chuckled slightly ruffling his hair before going into Tomas’s room. AJ went straight to his room and began to shower and change. He knew it was going to be a rough mission, he just hoped it went by fast.

Despite this wish, he still had a bad feeling, and he didn’t know what to expect. He just hoped everything went well and his feeling was paranoia.

When he was done getting ready, he hid his knife and gun. His knife was small enough to be in his pants pocket, his gun was safely tucked in the side of his pants. He also had another knife hidden under his pants on his ankle. After all you could never be too safe.

He walked out of his room, to see Ido and Tomas waiting for him already. He didn’t say anything, and the three friends walked out of the building that the gang hid in. They never had a specific hideout because they were always on the move. AJ got in the back seat like normal while Tomas drove and Ido sat in the front.

“So, what’s the plan?” Tomas asked as they drove out, and Ido put his arm out of the window.

“Simple, we will have AJ scout out the place since he is good at staying hidden. Something tells me that their boss won’t exactly be there. It was too easy to find them… they did a sloppy job.” Ido said and Tomas nodded his head.

“No kidding…” AJ said and Ido nodded before continuing.

“AJ, since you are the best at this. We will send you in first, be on the lookout for anything that could give us a clue as to where they could possibly be keeping the new member.” Ido said and AJ nodded his head.

“Alright.”

“Don’t do anything reckless, if something happens. Give us some sort of signal or high tail out of there.”

“Yeah. Okay.”

“I am serious AJ; you are the best at this, but you are also the most reckless.”

“Well… I can’t argue with that.”

“AJ please be careful.” Tomas said and AJ nodded his head.

“I promise, I won’t do anything…. too reckless. Or try not to, depending on the situation.” AJ said and Tomas nodded his head with a smile and Ido rolled his eyes slightly.

“Seriously, how am I stuck with you two? The boss could have at least given me another person, so I wasn’t third wheeling.” Ido complained and Tomas laughed slightly, shrugging his shoulders.

“Well, you don’t seem to mind too much. After all, you have been invited.” Tomas said and AJ turned a dark red mumbling thing incoherently.

“Yeah, no… not my thing…” He said laughing slightly, and Tomas shook his head.

“No, but seriously we are the best team.”

“That is true, no one else’s teamwork works as flawlessly as ours. Right AJ?”

“Yeah, whatever. I work better alone.”

“That’s how you get killed.”

“Don’t care.”

“Man, you are always so cold AJ…” Tomas said pouting slightly and AJ realized what he said.

“Sorry Tomas, I didn’t mean it.”

“I want a kiss after we get out of the car to make up for it.”

“Hello, I am still here…” Ido said, rolling his eyes slightly.

“You literally saw me and AJ naked, we don’t care if you see us kissing.” Tomas said with a tick mark, and Ido grinned slightly.

“It was a nice sight too.”

“Right? AJ is just naturally nice to look at when naked.”

“Can we not talk about this? Seriously?” He said blushing; Tomas and Ido started laughing.

“Sorry, sorry. It was too good to let go.”

“Ido, needs to learn to knock on the door.”

“And miss that chance, to see you?”

“Shut up.”

“But I don’t want to… plus I am sure Tomas wants to talk some more about you.” Ido said and Tomas grinned slightly.

“Who doesn’t want to talk about their cute boyfriend, who is totally tsundere?”

“I am not tsundere… and I am not cute.” AJ groaned slightly and Ido leaned back to pinch his cheek, but AJ slapped his hand away.

“Go on with the plan idiot.”

“Right, right… after you see what we are dealing with. Meet us back to the meet up point which will be in the back about 20 feet away. Stay hidden and don’t be spotted. After we know what we are dealing with, that’s when we will choose one of the three plans I have. I will discuss them depending on what you find.” He said and AJ nodded his head.

“Okay. Seems easy enough.”
