Remus was working on nothing but coffee and some left over sandwich Logan had insisted on him to eat. Ever since the coordinates had been said he'd been too caught up in the newfound hope over finding Remy, and the anxiety of finding them dead or not finding them at all, to even think about food.

Logan had quickly converted the coordinates into an actual place. It was a random part of the atlantic ocean, but when he looked it up it did say that Enfuel had bought that specific part of land- or well ocean- a few years back.

"Are we there soo-" Remus began to ask but Janus moved his hand over his mouth.

"Be quiet" Janus hissed back under his breathe.

They sat cramped together in a mini submarine. Janus had given more space to his snake carriers than to himself and the agent. Logan sat in the front, right by the only window of the submarine, steering it.

"008, M, you might want to see this" Logan whispered.

The two men moved closer and glanced out into the deep ocean. They had to be at least 50 feet underwater. They had just come into the part of the ocean which Enfuel bought. The water was grim and hard to see through.

"Oh holy hell" Remus let out when he saw it.

Not so far away from them a building towered. It was completely underwater, it would be impossible to see it from above. It was tall and dark and parts of the building seemed to extend like limbs. The top of the building was shaped weirdly, like a circle with windows in strange positions.

The entire building had been built like an octopus.

"Your mother isn't invovled right?" Logan asked.

Remus looked at him with a deadpan expression "More than one person can use octopus symbolism Lo"

"Noted"

He scanned the building and found a loading dock at the end of one of the 'limbs'. The submarine was quiet as it drove towards it. A part of the limb opened when they got close so they could dock.

Remus shut his eyes and took a deep breathe. In the background he could hear Janus reload his guns and whisper to his snakes. He could hear Logan check so the engines were still working well. His hands shooks. Everything had to go perfect. He had to find Remy again.

Logan laid his hand on his shoulder to make Remus look at him. He sent him a, in Lo standards, warm smile "Good luck. I will stay here and make sure you have a quick escape way in case anything goes wrong"

"Nothing will go wrong" Janus replied. He loaded a gun before holding it towards the agent so he could take it "008 you have a licence to kill, use it"

"Of course" Remus took it and put it inside his holster.

He had on a simple dark green long sleeved shirt and loose pants. He had 2 gun holsters on either side of his chest and enough places to put knifes, gadgets and other weapons it was almost kind of ridiculous. The seamtress people at MI6 really deserved a raise.

Janus went first. He swung the backdoor of the submarine open. He already had a pistol out. The two guards looking over the loading dock didn't even have a chance before the man on the right had been shot in the knee. He hunched forward out of pain but Janus was already right in front of them.

He slammed the back of his elbow into the hunched over man's head, knocking him out. He moved seamlessly from slamming him to kicking the other man in the face. The guard immediately fell to the floor passed out.

"Clean cut" Remus commented, coming up behind him.

The agent took ahold of the guard closest to the door and dragged him over to it and used his finger to unlock the door. Janus swept out into the hallway and glanced around. A few silent gunshots were fired before he motioned for Remus to follow. Several guards laid littered over the floor.

The hallway was wide, probably to drive carriages through. The walls were a dim blue and the floors a grey concrete. The light in the roof were so light it hurts Remus' eyes just to look around. The hallway went off into two different directions.

Janus had put down a few of his snakes on the ground, the rest were still slithered around his torso and arms. He was whispering to them and patting their lil snake heads. He'd trained some of them to rattle their tails if they smelled other people coming towards them.

"So uh De- Jannie which way are we going? Are your snakes like dogs? Can they smell Remy? Or cocaine? Both?"

"I'm going to the left, you're going to the right. I understand that you are here for Remy but I have other business to attend to"

His hands closed into fists "Oh of course you have! Rescuing the agent You let get into this whole mess in the first place couldn't be enough for you of course!" Remus spat out in a bitter tone.

"Please 008 this whole mission is obviously much bigger than just 1 agent! When we're here I have to look for all of the information I can! And" His hands were shaking "And I have to know if they have any information on my daughters. I have to destroy it. I have to protect them"

Janus sent him a last look before turning towards the left hallway. He whistled and the snakes immediately started to follow him.

Remus was left alone in the desolate hallways. He collapsed onto his knees. He forced in deep breathes while clamming his arms around his stomach. The only reason the nurses at MI6 hadn't stopped him from going on the mission was because he'd bribed them.

He knew he hadn't healed nearly enough from the injuries Jaws had given him. He could barely even walk for more than 5 minutes at a time. All his hope laid on his muscle memory and bursts of adrenaline doing everything for him if he got into a fight.

He leaned his arm against the wall and forced himself to stand up again. The gun laid unsteady in his shaking hand as he walked down the right hallway. Everything was eerily quiet. Sometimes he heard footsteps but he didn't see anyone.

There were lots of doors but Remus didn't check any of them. They looked like storage closests or meeting rooms. All he was focused on was finding the cells. A scream was heard. The kind of muffled half begging scream someone let out during torture. He followed the sound.

The agent turned a corner and caught sight of someone in a long laboratory coat standing in the middle of it. She was playing candy crush on her phone while downing a coffee. Remus got ready to sneak up behind her and very nicely make her pass out, but as soon as he took his first step another person in a similar coat ran up to her.

Remus pressed himself close to the wall. He held his breathe as his heart beat out of his chest. If he'd been a second slower the person would have surely seen him.

"Lee! There's a fucking vampire in the building!!!" He overheard one of them say. Probably the person running up to her.

"Please we're scientists!! We're smarter than believing in vampires!.......Was it a hot vampire? Big boobs?"

"I didn't actually see the vampire! But- but I-I came down the hallway and Gustav he was just- he was just laying on the ground so I checked on him and there were bite marks on his neck! Like a-a vampire or a snake! You know something like that! Is Mr. Impur creating interdimensional portals behind our backs??"

"I hope the vampires eat his head off. He still hasn't given me the healthcare benefits I've asked for!"

"Okay. Okay. Okay. There are vampires in the building what do we do?? Theo! Theo will know what to do! He always knows! C'mon lee. Go go go!"

Quick footsteps were heard leaving. Remus let himself breathe again. He checked so the hallway really was empty before following where the scientists had been going. He muttered under his breathe about how Janus should have hidden the bodies better. Now he would at least get a chance to shoot Theo.

It was hard to move his feet in the way he needed to to stay as quiet as possible. The wound at his neck kept aching. He liked to think every time it ached it was because Jaws was thinking of him.

He heard a single sound and his entire body immediately went into action. He pointed his gun and tensed up, ready to see Theo coming towards him. But no one was there.

There was a door though. A heavily locked one. It looked like a cell. It looked like a cell! All of the logic left Remus' brain as he stumbled towards it in the fastest pace he could muster.

Stupidly enough he pulled in the handle. Obviously it didn't open. He started banging on the door "REMY? REMY ARE YOU THERE?"

There was some sort of keypad next to the door. When all else fails: Gun! Remus pointed the gun towards the keypad and was about to shoot when he heard a gun load behind him.

"Please Remus couldn't you have choosen any other days than a monday to do this?" Theo asked sarcastically.

He had a tired look in his eyes as he aimed the gun directly at the agent's head. He only stood a few feet away. All Remus could do was slowly turn around to face him.

"You sure are quiet for a 00 agent right now" Theo had a smug look on his face "Jaws got your tounge?"

For a few moments everything was still as they both looked at each other, waiting for the other to do something. If a needle had been dropped they both would have shot it.

Remus suddenly burst forward. He took out a knife and threw it far away to the left. Theo glanced to the knife for just a second out of instinct. Enough time for the agent to get up to him. He punched Theo in the face with the back of the gun.

The guard stumbled for a moment but quickly regained his ground. Remus pointed his gun towards Theo's knee and was about to shoot when Theo grabbed him by his hair and flung him to the ground.

The agent landed in a roll and quickly got up on his feet again but just as he was about to fully stand up Theo was already in front of him. He slammed his knee into Remus' stomach, making him gasp for breathe. But that wasn't enough. Theo lifted both of his elbows and rammed them right into the wound on Remus' neck.

Remus fell to the ground. Theo put his foot on his neck and held his gun to his forehead. The agent tried to get his gun but it'd already been kicked far away from him.

"You're weaker than I remember" Theo said coldly.

"I hope your toes get torn out you sick fuck" Remus spat back.

No matter how much he moved his legs or tried to force the guard away with his arms nothing happened. He really had gotten weaker. He looked up at the cold metallic barrel of the gun.

He opened his mouth to let out another insult, some snarky comment. Instead a weak sob came out. He couldn't die. He had to protect Remy. He had to.

Theo looked down at him, at his crying shaking form and sighed. He didn't move the gun away. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his free hand and shook his head.

"Why are you here?"

"You know there is only one reason for why I would ever be here!" Remus forced out between shallow breathes.

"Yeah.....yeah I know.....You know 008, I'm supposed to go see my family tomorrow....My daughter is having a theater showing at her school....My wife has sounded so excited about it during every phone call"

Theo let out another long sigh. He put his gun back in his holster and moved his foot away. He even held out his hand to help the agent up.

"You were completely wrong with the cell just so you know" He said with a tired smile.

Remus let out a choked sniffle before taking his hand. Just standing up made him dizzy so Theo let him lean on him. He followed along as the guard started to walk through the hallways that he knew like the back of his hand.

"Is Virgil doing okay?" Was the first thing Theo asked. He kept looking around for other peple just in case, he didn't want to have to fight one of his coworkers.

"Who cares! Where's my partner? They're here right? In this building? Tell me they're here!"

Theo squinted at him "They?"

"They!"

".....Oh....Oh I have done many mistakes. I won't say anything about them until you tell me if Virgil is okay! For all I know MI6 are a bunch of fuck ups drinking child blood for fun!

"He's doing finnnnee. He misses you but that's it I think"

"And Jaws?"

"Last time I saw him he and Virgil were playing uno"

Theo let out a breathe of reflief "Oh good. I've been worried they would have been forcibly separated" He grimaced "Virgil must be so anxious about being forced to stay at MI6. I wish I could have come along with him"

"Who cares about that! What the fuck have you done t-"

Remus got forcibly shut up as Theo clamped his hand over his mouth and slammed him chest first into a wall. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw guards walking by. He could feel Theo's warm breathe against his ear as he also hid.

"I thought spies were quiet" He whispered as he checked the hallway.

"Yeah well I thought you were gonna blow my brains out. It's a day of surprises!"

He grabbed onto Remus' wrist to make him follow him as he swiftly dashed through hallways "I haven't been keeping tabs on them, your husb- partner, too much lately. It's been quite busy. The bitc- Mr. Impur and the others are planning something, I can tell. I think most of the torture stopped once they gave us the information Mr. Impur wanted. Some of these people....they're real sadists let's just say that so maybe your partner has kept being hurt. I've tried giving them some food now and again but not much more than that"

Bile rose in his throat just hearing it "Are they- they remember me right? RIght? They haven't become like Jaws r-right?"

"No. No. I- I still have nightmares about what they did to Jaws. They're not- nothing of that sort has happened to them as far as I know"

He suddenly stopped. He let go of Remus' wrist. They were in a hallway lined with cells.

"Are they-" Remus began.

"Stay quiet. And be quick!" Theo instructed.

He took out a keycard from his pocket and put it against the keypad to the closest door. The door swung up into a pitch black room. He motioned for Remus to go in while he stayed outside.

Mold had started to grow next to the water tank in the corner of the room. It was so dark it was hard to see more than a few inches in front of him. The floor had been stained with blood and puke. No kind of cleaning could take those stains away at this point.

A whimper was heard. "not again. not again please"

Remus' eyes filled with tears at hearing their voice. Remy's voice. "REMY! It's okay! It's just me! It's Remus. I won't let anyone hurt you again!"

He hurried forward to them and hunched down next to them. They were laying on the ground, facing away from him. Chains were keeping their wrists and ankles together. He could see every single bone through their bruised skin. Their hair had started to fall out in clumps and parts of their left leg was bent the wrong way.

He so so carefully moved their head so they were looking at them. He cupped their cheeks. Even with bits of old vomit on their cheeks and enough grime on their face to make their skin look gray he still looked at them like they were the most precious thing on earth.

Remy looked at him. Their mouth slightly agape. They couldn't believe he was real. It had to be a hallucination "No. No. No." They cried out "I can't be dead. I can't be dying. Remus can't find my corpse. No. No. I have to- I have to-"

"Shh. Shh. Honey. Honey I'm here. I promise. I'm here. I'm real. I'll take you home okay?"

Their eyes widened. They tried to move their hand to touch him but the chain held them back. They started to sob "Remus?"

"I'm right here dear"

"I knew it. I knew you would be so stupid you would try to rescue me. I knew it"

"I could never even think about not rescuing you"

Remus quickly forced the chains open. Remy tried to sit up but their arms were to weak to even hold them up. He wondered how many of their bones were broken. Some of their ribs stuck out wrong. Some of their fingers looked mangled. Some of their teeth had started to rot.

Their husband gently moved them into a hug. He pressed their foreheads together and held his arms around their shaking shoulders. They painstakingly moved their hand up to his cheek, to really make sure he was real.

(He saw that one of their fingers were missing. That just a stump was left where it should have been. He felt sick, but most of all he felt rage)

"Did they hurt you?" Remy quietly asked.

"No. No honey. They never even got to me. You protected me. You made sure I wasn't taken"

They smiled for the first time in months "I've- I've been so worried"

"I know honey. I know. It's okay"

For a few moments they sat in silence. Just feeling each other's bodies pressed close together again. Their tears got mixed together. Remus leaned in and finally kissed them. It felt like it'd been years.

"Okay honey, we have to go. I'll carry you okay?"

Remy let out a whine and sunk further into the hug. They had a feverish look in their eyes, like they were on the edge of delirium.

"We have to. You'll be home in no time I promise"

They cried out in pain as soon as he picked them up. He mumbled apologizes while pressing a kiss to their forehead. They leant their head against the crook of his neck as he carried them bridal style out of the cell.

Theo rolled his eyes when he saw them "There you are. We gotta go. I got a call from one of the other guards that a spy had been spotted"

He didn't even give them a chance to respond before he'd started to walk. Remus followed close behind. He kept his gun in one of his hands in case he had to protect his spouse.

"..Virgil...we have to...we can't leave..Virgil..he's..Impur is abusing him...babe we have to- we have to find him- I haven't seen him in a long time....worried he's been hurt so so bad...we have to" Remy slurred out with half open eyes.

"It's okay. He's already at MI6. He's safe. You're safe" Remus assured.

"mhm...I'm so tired babe"

"You can sleep. It's okay. Everything will be okay"

Remy gave him one last exhausted look before leaning closer to him and promptly passing out. Their husband held onto them even harder. They were so easy to carry, too easy.

"Get out of my way!" Theo yelled.

Remus got startled away from focusing on Remy. He saw Theo pointing his gun towards another man. He had on a pristine suit and a grey ring. He didn't look like a guard.

"That's the 00 agents isn't it? You're crossing sides now?" The man shouted back.

"Just look away! The agents aren't hurting you in any way if they leave! Or if I leave! I mean Virgil is gone, Jaws is gone, Really my work is done!"

The man cocked his gun "We've put too much time into this for you to suddenly backstab us. Sp-"

He never got a chance to finish his sentence. A shot was fired from behind him. The bullet went perfectly through his brain. He fell forward onto the ground, dead. Janus blew the steam from his pistol.

"Who's he?" Janus asked while pointing to Theo. He didn't even seem surprised to see Remy.

Theo dropped his gun and held up his hands above his head "Theo Gundersen. Affiliate of Mr. Impur. I am willing to work with MI6 as long as-"

Janus snickered "Oh great. I was worried that I hadn't found any useful information at this place but it looks like I actually have"

He let out a low whistle and one of his snakes immediately bit into Theo's ankle. His eyes rolled back into his skull before he passed out. He almost looked harmless where he laid.

Janus looked at Remus as he started to drag in Theo's sleeves to force him with them "What are you waiting? Move! We tooootally have all day!"

"Oh- oh right"

He turned a corner and there it was. The loading dock. They'd made it. Remy let out a whine in their sleep.

Logan was already ready to drive as they got into the submarine. His eyes filled with tears of happiness as he saw Remy but he forced his attention back to the steering panel. Janus pushed Theo onto the floor of the submarine before counting his snakes to make sure no one had been left behind.

"Drive!" He ordered.

Remus sat in a happy flutter of shock. He was still holding Remy. One hand on their back, one behind their head. He had so much to explain to them, so much about Jaws. But for now all he did was sit and watch as the building the light in his life had been tortured in for months slowly disappeared out of his sight.

"I love you" He mumbled as he kissed them on the forehead.
