The ear splitting blood curdling scream of his jewel, serves to piss him off 1000 times more than the searing hot cupronickel bullet lodged in his arm! He's quick to cover his precious jewel with his jacket, it's not the bundling up in his own arms he wants but it will have to do for now. The jacket will shield him from the shattering glass around them, and hopefully hide him from the vehicles he knows will be following them. He can feel the adrenaline in his veins starting to spike, just as the burn of the bullet starts to intensify. Never more thankful that it was him and not Baekhyun to be shot. That soft luminous skin will never ever be blemished by the scars of his profession.

"Stay down, don't make a sound!"

The soft distressed whimper he hears makes him wince, he knows he should not of been so abrupt and sharp with his precious Jewell. Once they are a safe distance away from being continuously chased and shot at, he will apologise on his knees if that is what Baekhyun wants. Right now he he has to focus on the chaos surrounding them. Another screech of tires followed by more gunshots, gunshots far to close as they take out a wing mirror, make what to roar in anger. Thankfully his Range Rover does the talking as it speeds down the street. Quickly turning his head from side to side Chanyeol sees two black SUV'S flanking his Range Rover, The glare in the windscreen indicate a third is behind them.

"Suho Floor it!"

"Foot's to the floor boss!"

Shit! They need to get out of here before the last of the windows is taken out with a bullet! The longer they stay here the higher the risk of all of them getting injured. He vowed not so long ago that he will keep Baekhyun safe, he will use what ever arsenal he has at his immediate disposal to keep the focus on him and not the trembling precious cargo at his feet. He's not mad at his Jewell for screaming, seeing a gunshot wound for the first time can do that to even the staunchest of men. He won't deny either that his arm aches like a bitch, because it really fucking stings as he races to undo his belt to stem the blood flow, the saving grace is that he can flex his fingers! Meaning hopefully no lasting nerve damage, and with the blood only just starting to stick to his shirt no major artery damage.

20 seconds later he has the taunt leather of his belt wrapped around his sticky covered arm to stem the blood flow. Yes it's not serious but blood loss is no laughing matter, the 20 seconds he took for the tourniquet could prove to be deadly if he doesn't loose the band of wagons behind him. If they continue to follow him they will uncover the manor! Something he's become more secretive of as it's now Baekhyun's sanctuary, something else he silently vowed to do for his precious Jewell after discovering the hell hole he lived in. The manor he will always strive to keep separate from the dark underbelly of the city. His own business would never pose a threat, the threat that dares follow them now will never step foot there. Not whilst he still breathes!

Chanyeol makes a mental note to thank his ever stoic second in command, even with the fire of bullets raining down. Suho has not just managed to keep his cool he has even managed to drive smoothly towards a more deserted part of the city. Thats the difference between himself and the men loyal to him, the Russian and Chinese mob they don't care who they gun down in the process of getting what they want! Chanyeol remembers how his mother died and the trauma that followed the gruesome way she was shot down. It's probably the proudest he's been of his father his choice to operate with out the drugs and guns have kept the Park family the right side of the law in sticky spots. Yes there are more situations where his business hasn't been strictly lawful, most of the time he chooses to operate with out the fanfare the others so love to do.

The Sudden smash and jolt of the car, followed by the whimper he hears snaps him out his thoughts, this is getting more dangerous the longer they are out here. As he is about to call out to Suho does he feel a third jolt this one stronger as the car almost stalls. Clearly Suho too has had enough as he slams the car into to the rogue SUV on the right. Slamming hard enough on the breaks that the car beside them ends up wrapped around a lamppost. One down two to go!

"Boss, Yixing is on loud speaker!"

Chanyeol catches the eyes of his right hand man, he doesn't miss how they flick towards the base of his car. He follows Suho's eyes to see just how his jewel is trembling under the Italian wool of his jacket. Now is not the time to curse up a storm, he has a pretty good idea who is behind this cheap attempt to attack them brave too as they could quite easily attract law enforcement. Whoever is behind the attack is not something he really wishes for Yixing to reveal either! He knows he treading in cold water continuing to keep Jimmy's Escape secret, mid high speed car chase with guns firing probably not the best time to say anything. Hoping and preying Yixing understands he confirms he is indeed with his Jewell!

"Yixing, Baekhyun is here with me!"

"Got it boss, are you either of you injured!"

"I have GSW, the bullet still lodged in my arm!"

"Can you still move your fingers?"

"Affirmative, blood loss is minimal!"

Neither man can ignore the soft whine they hear, Chanyeol yearns to lean down and comfort his Jewell. He really doesn't want who ever is in the cars to cotton on to such precious cargo being in the car.

"I will be the judge of the extent of the blood loss boss, i will have everything ready to remove the bullet when you get here. I also have the details of the number plates, you can guess who it is! I have sent the number plates to our friends in the blue!"

"I'm sure I can too Yixing, have the repot on my desk I will deal with it later. Are the cars electric can you do any computer magic to force them to stall?"

"No they are diesel Boss, listen to me you not far from our former processing site- head to the car park I have a man waiting with a different car!"

"I'm no coward Yixing!"

"I know but It will give you a chance to get Baekhyun to safety whilst you and Suho can deal with SUV's!"

"I like the way you think Yixing right we will head there make sure every available member is enroute to the car park too!"

"Yes Boss"

Chanyeol conveniently doesn't mention that he wants all the spare men not station at the manor or on patrol at the abandoned car park to send a message. He has had enough of Jimmy evading cameras and being goaded by the Fengs! If he has to send a message by sending the SUV's and the men who drive it back to the Fengs, in tiny pieces then so be it! It can only be them who are behind this, and he has good idea why. He is about to put his hand on the still trembling body on the floor of his car, when he hears the tell all sign of a machine gun shatters the rear window glass. Making it crack and fall like beautiful deadly stardust. Instinctively he leans his body over his precious Jewell to protect him. He doesn't have to say anything as Suho speeds up before taking a sharp left heading towards that car park.

He should be surprised at the sleek black pistol he sees Suho place on the footwell in front of him. That adrenaline that had spiked earlier comes back full throttle, it's not just the adrenaline or the searing hot burn in his arms to think about. He's beyond pissed he's been shot at, that the idiots chasing them  have compromised Baekhyun's safety. Everyone in this deep underbelly know he never travels with any of his products, this attack is personal and has him all but roaring intro the setting sun. Taking the gun he feels a shiver down his spine as a plan forms in his mind, he doesn't think about any thing else save the rage cursing through his veins.

Even the gasp and clear "Chanyeol" from his Jewell doesn't penetrate the dangerous fog that has descended as he heaves himself half out the window! He is too far away for the car behind him, he isn't however far enough away to do the same to the asshole beside him, he shoots once at the window watching gleefully as he the window break.  Feeling smug as he watches that black window break and rain down over the passenger like acid. Chanyeol instantly recognises the gleaming dragon tattoo on one of the car inhabitants forearms. Proof this cowardly attack is all down to the Fengs, Chanyeol doesn't think before he acts and instead of taking the life of the idiots. He aims the gun at the tyres taking out both the left front and back tyres with just one bullet! He may not support the same mantra of most of the deep seedy underbelly of the city. Doesn't mean he's not been fully trained in how to handle this deadly weapon in his hand.

Returning to the back of the car, he notices Baekhyun is sat up in a slumped position still sat on the floor and leaning against the leather! Chanyeol instantly panics thinking the look on that beautiful innocent face is trying to hide pain. Something he never wants to see, sliding closer he instantly stops when he hears a sad whisper of "only one person could do this, Chanyeol be honest Jimmy is behind this isn't he?"

Chanyeol is pretty sure he resembles a guppy fish, his mouth he can feel is constantly making that O shape. What he says next will forever define their relationship, he doesn't want this to end before it's had chance to start. Especially looking at those beautiful eyes filled with tears, ashamed of what he has dragged this amazing innocent creature into, he can only nod his head. Lowering his head so as not to see the hurt he is positive will be there, something he hates that he put there. He's been so wrapped up in his self loathing that he hasn't realised the car has stopped! Everything hits him at once the pain of his gunshot wound, and the pain he feels in his heart is indescribable he's never felt anything like this before. He's never had to explain his actions, so this pain it almost cripples him when he realises Suho already has Baekhyun out of the car. At least his show with the pistol has given them precious seconds to get Baekhyun to safety.

Even if he can hear the screech of a car quickly approaching, he knows he need to pull it together and channel his earlier rage. It's that rage he will need to put the idiots following them in their place.

"Chanyeol."

He can't ignore that soft gentle voice, even if he's afraid he has blown what ever chance he has had. Completely taken aback that Baekhyun has his door open and has his soft petite hand on the burning skin just below his tourniquet. Chanyeol would be stupid to not notice the glassiness in those beautiful eyes. He goes to say something when a finger is placed against his lips!

"I'm not mad, you say your not a good guy but you are! Chanyeol don't you see it every time I'm in danger you become a lion uncaged too protect me. Inappropriate right now I know to say it but you look so sexy when you become this lion uncaged!"

Chanyeol feels all kinds of things he never felt before invade his senses, this time he's not afraid of his emotions. He gently kisses the tip of the finger up against his lips, revelling in the arousal he can feel and the love and trust in Baekhyun's. The car chasing them he can hear is fast approaching, but he won't let his Jewell go with out a gift.

Using his good hand he sneaks it around the back of his jewels swan like neck, gently placing his hand on the slender muscles between those shoulder blades and his neck, gently yet quickly pulling Baekhyun in to his chest before slamming their lips together. Making sure he pushes he runs his tongue across those soft plump lips. gasp in to his mouth is music to his ears. It's the moment he needs as he pushes his tongue in to that hot mouth and fully plunders those lips in a constant bruising kiss, his tongue licking every part of his Jewels mouth he can. The zings of all things carnal alight under his skin when he watches Baekhyun whimper as his hand massages the back of that swanlike neck.

He can feel himself getting hard at the demure yet sinful submission his Jewell always offers him. He so desperately wants to lay claim to all this beguiling creature will offer him. He'd happily too have this creature flat on his back, laid out prettily just for him to mark every part of perfect shimmering skin for the world to see just who he belongs with. Have Baekhyun come apart just from his fingers, hands, tongue, all before doing it all over again. Sadly that's a show for a another time as the glare of the headlights from that still chasing car infiltrate the car park. Regretful that Baekhyun will think he tricked him, Chanyeol uses his sheer determination to protect the jewel in his arms abs heaves them both to their feet and out the car.

It takes him 5 hard steps before he is depositing Baekhyun in the back of the car Yixing sent. He would normally revel in the dazed look of his lover, but will settle for a quick cup of those soft cheekbones before he agonisingly steps back as Suho slams the door to the hatchback. He has a second to place his palm on the window where Baekhyun's hands rest against the window. He doesn't want to be apart but he will not let Baekhyun remain here for the Fengs to then alert Jimmy of his whereabouts. He nods once, as Baekhyun smiles back just as Suho knocks on the bonnet. Thankfully the man driving is one of his more skilled drivers pulling away his Jewell without the lights on for added protection. Just in time as the last remaining SUV careen in to his already mangled Range Rover.

Chanyeol shares a look with his right hand man, surprised to see him produce two 9mm pistols with a shrug. He will demand answers later right now they have some rodents to exterminate. Without thinking he aims the pistol in his hand straight to spot he knows the driver will be sat at, and fires off two bullets. He wouldn't normally resort to this level of violence himself but his patience is over! A deep satisfaction fills him when he sees the glass brake and a body slump forward. He feels very much like the hunter stalking his prey when he sees the panicked and fearful face of the man sat next to the dead driver. He should feel something about taken the life of a man simply following orders, but right now he just can't bring himself to care as the next click of the pistol in his hands as a bullet lodged between the poor fuckers eyes.

He turns around to find his right hand man Suho has his phone out already, a cloth in the other hand. Suho takes a walk towards him taking the pistol from his shaking hand!  Before running the cloth over his hand holding the gun and the gun it's self, it's almost like an outer body experience watching Suho care for him. That's before the intense fire in his arm ignites and almost consumes him, he's been so focused on eliminating the threat that he hadn't noticed just how light headed he truly feels. He goes to call Suho back from the wreckage of twisted metal, only to hear nothing. Something is not right as his vision becomes increasingly blurry and he loses his footing on the asphalt beneath him.

The last thing he sees is Suho running back towards him, as his wrecked car erupts up in a sea of bright orange flames.
