Reese POV

"Family of Rico Knight?" 

We had been in the waiting room for the last 3 hours, stressing over Rico. Lance being stressed more then us all. 

"Thats us," He said walking over to the doctor with his shoulders hunched and his eyes wary. I watched as the doctors lips moved and Lance tense shoulders relaxed and a small smile form on his face. Lance shook hands with the doctor and walked back to us swifly. 

"He's fine guys. They were able to get the bullet out of his shoulder and patch him up. He'll be able to come home in about 2 days," He said, grinning all the while. I could tell he was relieved. He and Rico have been getting the bad guys together for about 15 years and it would kill him if Rico was seriously hurt. So much. 

"Great, thats such good news," Chloe said squeezing my hand and smiling her beautiful smile at Lance.

Mines. 

Lance looked around before coming to me and dropping to his knees so his face was level with mines. "Listen kid. Me and Rico, we're old guys. I'm leaving this in your hands ok. Your the new generation, the young one out of us three and i trust that you will lead this well. Not only do you have a smart and skillful mind but you have one of the best teams that i have come to know in all my years of being in this business. I have faith that you guys will get this sick guy and put him in his place. Do you get what im telling you kid?" 

I looked at him for a while, finally noticing the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes and the grey hairs peeking out in his hair and on his beard. The guy was old and tired and i was foricng him into our mess. I laughed.

"I get what your saying man. Take a break, relax. We'll get him. Stay here with Rico if you want," i said laying my hand on his shoulder. 

His eyes held nothing but relief as he pulled me into his arms. "Be safe kid. Please safe."

"Ow Chloe! That freaking burns!"

"Stop moving! I'm almost finished!"

I felt the sting of the alcohol on my forehead  and jerked away again.

"Owwwwww!"

I could tell Chloe was biting back a grin as she yanked my head back against her stomach.

"Are you done?" I asked, attemptibg to pry her hands of my face but she only held tighter.

"I would be if you stopped moving Reese, Jesus. Just be still."

She continued to clean my wound, with me whining all the while, before grabbing a rag and washing my face off.

"There," She said as she kisses my face gently. She moved away from me to clean up her bathroom and put away the first aid kit.

Her bedroom door gently opened and her mom's head popped in.

"Hey kids, i just wanted you to know that there is food on the table."

Chloe released a breath and smiled.

"Oh thank goodness! I was starving."

"When arent you staring?" I whispered but she heard me and before i could react she had thrown a teddy at me ans hit me directly ob the wound on my head.

"Owwwwww!"

I watched as Chloes mom placed a kiss on her forehead and did the same to mine before leaving the room.

We ate in a comfortable silence. We were both tired and just wanted to go to bed. As we pulles back the sheets in Chloes bed, She looked at me.

"We have to go see David tomorrow. We have to talk to him."

I nodded. She was right.

As we drifted off to sleep, i couldnt help but wonder would we ever capture Moon.

"I Love You."

"I Love You Too."

"You're about to be walking on the side of the rode in the next 2 seconds, if you dont cut it out!"

I rubbed my hand in annoyance as i watched Trey drop crumbs on my cars floor before he looked at me and smiled sheepishly with stuffed cheeks.

"Sowwy."

I heard the girls laughter from the back but i didnt find this funny.

I let out a breath before turning into the hospitals parking lot.

I turned the car off and caught trey as he accidently got sauce on my door handle.

"TREY!" I yelled, quickly snatching one of his napkins and cleaning it off. I turned to Amber.

"How do you put up with him? He's worse then a baby!"

She laughed and too grabbed a napkin and Trey's face, wiping it clean. .

"He is a baby. My baby. My Big baby."

Trey smiled and kissed her cheek then stuck his tongue out at me.

I huffed and got out of the car the same time as Chloe.

i tugged her to me and together we walked to into the hospital, letting Trey and Amber follow us.

"You're so mean to him," Chloe whispered against my shoulder.

We were on the elevator and I had pulled her into my chest.

"Do you still love me?" I asked.

She nodded and looked up at me in confusion.

"Then it doesnt bother me." I smirked and pulled her head back into my chest just as she was about to argue.

We stopped on the 5th floor and stumbles out of the elevator and to the front desk.

"Hi, we're here to see David Moon," Chloe said.

"Friends Or Family?" The lady asked, as she pulled his name up on the computer. Chloe hesitated.

"Friends," Amber said from beside her with a smile.

The lady smiled back and nodded. "513."

We thanked her and bagan waking down the narrow hallway. "Why the hesitation?" I asked as we walked.

Chloe shrugged then smirked.

"My answer was going to be along the lines of killers but i held it in."

I shot my head to her.

"We're not going to kill him."

She laughed and pulled open his door.

"Im serious Chloe!"

SHe waved me off and sat in the sit next to Davids bed.

One of his hand were handcuffed to the bed and there was an officer in the far corner who i nodded too.

"Hey David." Chloe said leaning back in her chair.

God she was beatiful.

"What do you want," He asked in a bored tone, still not looking at us.

"David, i honestly want to know one thing. One thing only. What do you believe your dads motive is. Its obvious you guys have to different mindsets because if you both had the same, then he wouldnt have left you bleeding from your leg on  the floor in the schools classroom," Chloe said sitting straighter.

It was then that i noticed how perfect Chloe really was for this job. I couldnt deny it anymore. I didnt like it, but i couldnt deny it.

David finally turned to look at us. The entire room was silent. He just looked at us for a really long time before using his free hand to push a snall envelope in Chloes direction.

She grabbed it and walked over to me so we could read it together.

David,
Such a pity. You were a great help kid. Thank You. I'm sorry you've gotten yourself hurt but i simply cannot help you. I have things to do, however i do believe that you deserve the truth.
I'm not after Reese because of my jailtime for sexual intercourse with a minor. I'm after him because that minor was very important. That minor was involed in a huge drug deal that i had going on for years. She was the perfect nanny for you, but most importantly a GREAT money provider for me and your nosy little friend messed it all up. Such a shame. So yes, i was using you. And yes, my motives were different. I apologize if your feelings are hurt. Have a nice life. You are a great son, but i simply cannot wait on you.

Moon.

Chloe sighed and looked over at David who was once again looking out the window.

"David do you know where your father may be hiding?" I asked as i stepped to him.

"Some sort of warehouse, "He muttered.

Warehouse? Something inside my head clicked as a looked at Chloe. I knew exactly the warehouse he was talking about.

"Lets go," I said walking towards the door, Trey and Amber in tow.

"David," Chloe started but David quickly cut her off.

"Just go."

She nodded and followed us out.

Once in the car, i called my eldest brother.

"I have news. Big News. Meet us at tomorrow at my house. I think we can finally end this."

Chloe laced her fngers through mine and closed her eyes.

"Reese if i do say so myself. I dont believe this will ever end."

I looked at her and started the car.

It will end. It had to end
