The Vagabond hated the Fake AH Crew. All their heists had failed and even his did even if it was foolproof. Sure, he may have been getting paid anyway but going through all these heists was bothersome.

The Golden Boy would always mess up in some sort of way. Blow something up too early so the police were altered or he'd get seriously injured which would take away the attention of the most important member. It always pissed The Vagabond off.

Mogar was pretty dead set on getting things done. He'd slip up every now and again just because he was put on the wrong job. It's like the crew didn't know each other and always assigned different people to the skillset they were the shittest at. One time Mogar had to hack and well let's just say they spent the night in a jail cell.

Lil J had run over an important person in one of the heists and then just laughed about it. He also would bring all these stupid monster trucks in that don't need to be there. Their cover had been blown multiple times because of the rev of a monster truck engine.

Then The Boss, he was the worst, sure he was the boss but he couldn't shoot for shit. He'd miss by a centimeter or even a whole mile. He always ran into shit and everyone swore when their cover was blown by a mile of wreckage because the boss doesn't know how to drive. You'd think an older man would know but that hadn't been the case. Ryan always wanted to cuss him out because of it but he never did since he was afraid his income wouldn't be there anymore. He still had to make a living.

Then there was The Jetfighter. She was elegant in a sense. All around the perfect pilot and she had a great fashion sense. Her hair was always perfect after she took off her pilot helmet and he'd always swoon. Hell, she wore a Hawaiian shirt most of the time and she made it look so good. She was flawless.

But the one thing that pissed him off the most was that The Golden Boy always held most of her attention. Either he got in trouble or injured and she'd drop everything to help him. Her voice would go all soft as she constantly asked him if he was okay then her lips would touch that tan skin. Sure, they had been together for a long time but it still made Ryan pissed off.

He rubbed a hand over his face as they were in the briefing room yet again for another heist. He glanced over to Gavin and Jack just to see them whispering to each other with smiles.

He knew they had been dating for several years but that didn't mean you brought it into a crew. That was just calling for trouble.

He slammed his hand down on the counter with a growl and he threw his mask on the ground. The leather hitting the ground made The Vagabond clench his teeth.

Most of the crew had looked at him and he apologized then bent down to grab his mask. He mumbled a farewell then left the room.

He just wanted her attention but never got it. He was going to figure out a way to get it though because he was fed up with her not giving him attention. He deserved it because he was better than any Golden Boy.

"Gavin you really need to be more careful," Jack spoke from their shared bathroom.

"I know love. I'm sorry." Gavin was in the shared king sized bed.

He had let Jack strip him down to his golden boxers when they got in. Because he had been stupid and got in the way of flying bullets for her. Most of them missed him fortunately but that didn't mean it still didn't worry Jack.

She was frantic and was panicking as she tended to his wounds. The cuts and bullet wounds were all much deeper than she expected. They were deeper then Gavin remembered. He thought most of them had skimmed him but he had been wrong. He saw it made her worry way more than Gavin wanted her to. He pursed his lips to keep himself from saying something stupid though he'd have to break her heart sooner or later.

"I think I need to tell Ryan to stop these reckless heists. It's not like we can actually do them. They're above our pay grade." Jack sighed as she got up. She had made her way to the bathroom after she was done tending to Gavin's wounds.

"They may be but they're still fun," Gavin told her and Jack came out of the bathroom.

Gavin had been on his phone while she was in the bathroom cleaning herself up. He frowned at the text he got. But looked up when he heard Jack. He didn't want to do what the text said to do but he was thinking that he might have to do it. He didn't want Jack hurt. He also didn't understand why he had to do it so soon. He thought his deadline was longer. He set his phone down and looked at Jack only to smile at her outfit. Her black lacey bra peeked out from the red satin robe that went to her mid thigh. She always looked gorgeous.

"You look gorgeous, love." He told her.

She scoffed to his statement about heists being fun then she smiled. "I'm glad you like my outfit." She purred to him.

"But about heists. Even if they're fun to do doesn't mean we need to constantly be in danger. Remember there are simpler heists out there for us to do. You and I have done them," she explained to him.

"Those are two man jobs, love. You and I can do them because there is barely any danger. You know that." Gavin told her.

Jack sighed again then plopped down on the bed next to him. "Still, I just don't think we are taking enough precautions with these things. We all need to plan them better." Jack told Gavin.

She leaned into him and cuddled into his side. Her fingers tracing circles into his golden boxers.

"So, do you think any of us will?" Gavin asked her. He wrapped his arm around her and kissed the top of her head. He loved that Jack took care of him so well and cared for him so. He really did think he didn't deserve her but he got her.

Jack frowned some as she slid the fabric up then down. She liked the feel of it and she heard what he said. "I just want you safe, Gav. You're a hacker, not a damn suicide bomber." Jack hissed then took a deep breath. "I don't want to lose you just because of one of our crew members were being a stupid ass and didn't plan their heist correctly," Jack explained herself.

Gavin gently grabbed her chin and lifted her face to make eye contact. "I know love but we can't change everyone. You know that." Gavin informed her then finished his thought with a gentle kiss to her lips.

Her hand went to grab his wrist and she brought his hand close to kiss it. "Again... I just want you safe, Gav. You may be known as The Golden Boy but you're my one and only. Remember that." Jack told him. She lifted her hand up and caressed his face. "Never forget." She added and smiled.

Gavin smiled and leaned into her hand. "I'll never forget, love. Promise." He assured her.

"Good, now lets sleep. We have a big day ahead of us now." Jack told him and shifted to lay on his chest again. Gavin had grabbed a controller off of the nightstand and he pressed it for their white noise machine in the room. It made them both sleep better.

Jack spread the comforter over the top of them and she wrapped her leg around Gavin's in an attempt to get closer.

"Remember it gets too hot for that love." Gavin reminded with a small mumble. It formed into a yawn shortly after and he brought Jack closer.

The warmness spread throughout and soon enough sleep gripped them. A soft snore escaped Jack as she had her body pressed against Gavin who had his arm around her.

He stared at the ceiling for a while contemplating everything. Being in this program was a great experience for his job but he felt like he had made a big name for himself. Sure, he actually had a job but this thing he had with Jack was a once in a lifetime opportunity to start a family, maybe. He sighed then looked down to see Jack was still sleeping peacefully. He felt a pain in his gut when he knew what he had to because he wanted her safe and spared.

"Bugger..." He grumbled and sighed again. Things were going to hit the fan and it was going to be soon.

Morning came and Gavin woke up to the bedroom door being slammed. He looked around in his stupor and wondered where Jack was. Was she making breakfast or had she left without him? Leaving without him seemed to be the best bet. She did want him safe. He sighed then heard voices in the next room. He frowned and was about to open the door until he heard Ryan yelling. He frowned then stood still to listen to them as his heart was pounding.

"He isn't right for you, Jack! You know that!!"

Gavin blinked to the statement. Was Ryan trying to court Jack or something? He frowned then began to seethe with jealousy. He then calmed himself as he then realized this was a perfect opportunity to break it off. He didn't want to but he had to. It was the right thing to do for Jack. He went over and checked his phone to see Michael had texted him.

  - So, when can I see the ring, buddy?-
Gavin swallowed to that as he had forgotten about the ring. He cursed and rushed to the nightstand. He pulled open the drawer and saw the velvet box. He nabbed it then proceeded to get dressed. He still heard the other two arguing about him.

"I don't care what you say, Ryan. I love Gavin and you coming here saying that we aren't meant to be isn't helping. That just makes me want to be with him more." Jack hissed. "Besides why would we break up? We don't fight and everything is running smoothly." Jack added.

Gavin winces to her words. Either he had to do it today or Jack gets hurt. He couldn't lose her. She was his everything. First, he had to hear what Ryan says. He heard a scoff then there is a commotion and Jack gasps out.

"G-Get away from me..." Jack growled.

Gavin couldn't see what was going on but he had a pretty good idea. He sighed softly as he wondered how he could escalate the situation. He glanced around then spotted his golden pistol. He bounded over and grabbed it then went back to the door. He opened it and cocked it then pointed it towards Ryan.

"Let her go!" Gavin growled to him. He saw Ryan had Jack's arms pinned above her head and a leg between her legs. Ryan shifted slightly and looked at Gavin though Gavin could only see his mask. Gavin swallowed to the situation. He knew Ryan had a HUGE reputation. It was always talked about at work and him being in front of the subject of those talks didn't bode him well.

"Finally coming to her rescue? You were asleep for so long." Ryan sneered. "You're not even half of the man she deserves." Ryan hissed.

Gavin couldn't help but agree. Ryan was right for reasons he'd never reveal. Not even to Jack when she would ask in the future. Gavin sighed then lowered the gun.

"Let her go, Ryan. There is a more civil way to do this." Gavin told him. Either he could get out of here alive or dead. He was more okay with death which struck him as odd. Maybe because he didn't want to hurt the woman he loved.

Ryan chuckled lowly. "Is there Gavin? Is there really? Because I don't fucking think so. You don't deserve this goddess! She is everything that I want and have been trying to get. But she has been blinded by your shininess. But all of it is a lie that you've been doing for years." Ryan hissed.

Gavin stared at Ryan and believed him for a second before remembering he never gave his former life away. They knew he was an internet star before and that was true. His website and everything was still up. Maybe that was he was referring to. Gavin shook the thoughts away as he didn't have time to think that over right now.

Jack squirmed where she was. "Let me go, Ryan. You know I love Gavin. Doing this won't change my feelings for him or you." Jack muttered.

Ryan heard Jack and sneered at her. "Shut your trap. This is a talk between Gavin and me." Ryan growled as he squeezed her wrists. Jack makes a soft sound and looked to Gavin.

"I'm sorry, love." He said. "He's right about me. I'm not the man I say I am." He clicks the safety on for his gun then lets it drop to the floor. "You don't deserve a guy like me. You deserve Ryan. Besides, he'll protect you better than I." Gavin laughed at himself then rubbed the back of his neck.

Jack opened her mouth to try and protest but Ryan covered her mouth. "Let the guy finish. I want to hear him praise me more." He chuckled lowly. Jack glared at him but looked at Gavin.

Gavin shrugged then smiled to her sadly. "Because I mess around. I'm just a child you have to take care of since I don't act my age. I have gotten injured so much that you have to nurse me back to health. Why would you want to be with a screw up like me? I'm just worthless, love. Ryan is your best best. He'll protect you better and kill better too. He isn't afraid of anybody and he'll do anything for you. He is the best bet here, love." Gavin told her.

Jack listened and slowly felt her world crumbling. Sure, all those things happen but she doesn't care. She loves Gavin for himself and would do anything for him.

"G-Gavin, none of that matters as long as we have each other. I've told you that before." Jack shouted then finally pushed Ryan aside. She rushed over to Gavin's side and grabbed his hand.

Gavin shut his eyes when he saw the pain in her eyes. He pulled his hand from hers in an attempt to separate them. "I'm sorry love but this can't go on. For your sake, I can't bring you into any of this. I'll come back for you but for now please don't try and find me." Gavin told her as he looked at her.

Ryan looked at the two bewildered. We're things going bad between them before and he just hadn't noticed? No, Jack said things were fine. What was going on then?

"What are you talking about Gavin? You're talking nonsense! Nothing needs to end between us! Please don't end what we have. I love you!" Jack went to grab his hand but Gavin slapped it away.

He glared at Jack who took a step back. "Hey, you can't hit a lady like that. Step the fuck back and leave." Ryan demanded as he stepped between the two.

"N-No! Don't listen to Ryan, Gavin! He doesn't live here! You do! Please stay so we can talk this out! Please!" Jack begged but Ryan kept her from touching Gavin.

"No Jack, I think it is best that I leave. I don't want you to get hurt more than you have to." Gavin muttered and went to gather his things. Things worked out for the best. Gavin disappeared into the bedroom.

Jack hit Ryan to let her go as she watched Gavin. She couldn't let him go! Not after all the good times and years they had. How could he just break her heart like that and leave? That wasn't her Gavin at all. Something was up and she wanted to know what.

"Let me go to Gavin, Ryan. He isn't making sense!" Jack hissed and tried to wiggle away from him. "Something is up! Fake AH Crew can't lose their hacker!!!" Jack hissed.

"Let him go. He seems pretty determined and I am sure he'll come back once he is needed. Gavin is a man of his word. I may hate him because he was with you so long and has your heart but he is a man of his word, Jack. Besides, why would I let go after my confession that I just did to you?" Ryan asked.

Jack scowled at him. "Let me go to Gavin or else you dick!" Jack hissed.

"Or else what? You'll kill me? Fake AH Crew needs me. You know that Jack." Ryan stated.

Jack hit his chest with both hands to try and get him to step back. Ryan didn't stumble but took a step closer to her.

"Try that again and see what happens." Ryan dared her.

Jack then hit his chest as Gavin had slid past them. Jack heard the front door open and her head flung up. She swiftly went to the ground and crawled away from Ryan to go to Gavin. She grabbed his wrist before he left.

His back was to her and his head was bowed as he tried to get his wrist from her hold. "Let me go, Jack," Gavin demanded. He thought he had gotten away for sure but her grip was strong and he was still pretty weak.

"No, not until you tell me why you're breaking my heart. You love me and I love you. You wouldn't do this just because of some other gang going after us or because of the reasons you gave. I know you don't think that anymore." Jack told him.

Gavin pursed his lips. He couldn't tell the truth to her. He had to lie. "I cheated on you and I can't bear to be with you anymore knowing I hurt you like that. I even have proof if you need it." Gavin felt her grip loosen but then it tightened.

"No. You were too busy lately. You couldn't have been cheating on me. Gavin, please stay." Jack begged.

Gavin had forgotten how busy he actually was during the past few months. He was also always with Jack because it all involved Crew stuff which they worked on together. Early morning money runs and late night inventory checks. There was a lot of heated lovemaking and soft touches. He couldn't risk Jack getting caught up with his past though.

"I have to leave, love," Gavin mumbled and Jack let him go. He hadn't thought just telling her that he has to leave that she would let go but she had. He sighed as he left the apartment and didn't look back. He got down to the lobby of their shared apartment and clutched his chest. This was all too much to bear but he had to. He walked outside and met up with his boss.

"Everything good?" He asked and Gavin nodded. "Good, now let's go Agent Free." He opened the door to the all black car with tinted windows and Gavin stepped in. He pulled the velvet box out of his pocket and stared at it. If only he had gotten to that point then none of this would be happening.

---

Jack closed the door once Gavin was out of sight and she gasped to being pushed against the door.

"You motherfucker let me go," Jack growled.

"Why? It's not like Gavin is going to change his mind if you go after him. Just accept that you're single now because of him." Ryan hissed at her.

Jack hit his chest then sighed as she slumped against him. "I know..." She muttered. She wanted Gavin back but she knew there was no way she was going to get him back. "I... I don't know what I'm going to do now." She muttered.

Ryan wrapped his arms around her. He forgot how bad some people got after a breakup. He'd have to be there for her to get on her good side. "I know. Just rest today and I'll tell Geoff what happened." Ryan told her.

Jack nodded and pulled away from Ryan. "Thank you." She muttered then walked back to her room.

Ryan stood there as he heard the door shut then squeezed his eyes shut. "Gavin, what the fuck is wrong with you?" He whispered as Jack's sobs could be heard from the other side of the door.
