(Lui's POV)
I was waiting in my car in front of Nogla's house. I was impatiently tapping on the wheel, silently mumbling song which was playing on the radio. I hadn't got any special plans for today just finding Delirious.
Sometimes I felt that everybody was right, and I truly am possessed by him. But it was the only thing that kept me going, that kept me sane. I wasn't really sure what would have happened if I found him and kill him.
I was dragged into the reality when Nogla sat down next to me.
"I'm so sorry. We can go now," he greeted me, and tried to catch his breath.
"You remeber that billionaire guy Evan Fong? He has been found! Boss called to get there," Nogla informed me.
I frowned in confusion and shrugged my shoulders.
"What am I suppose to do with that?" I replied without any interest.
"Uhm... hello? It's amazing that one human life has been saved!?"
"Saved? I was predicting he ran away from his wealth father to enjoy his life, swimming in the pool full of money," I replied.
"You're so annoying today," he mumbled
He's right. It is amazing, but I want to find Delirious. I have no interest in some spoiled rich man.
I glanced over my partner. He seemed to be angry and disappointed. I sighed and started the engine.
"I'm sorry. It's amazing. Tell me what do you know so far?"
"Well... he hasn't been rescued yet. We only know his location, boss is sending there some men, along with us."
I don't have time for this shit. I need to return to my office, I just need to.
"Where to?" I asked, cursing myself not being faster with this important detail.
"Abandoned work site, not far away from L.A."
I slowly nodded and head over there. We arrived into the complete silence. There were like fifty well armed men, minding their business, lost in their thoughts. Both Nogla and I got out the car, walking straight to our boss.
"All right, boys. Glad to see you here. This man here is Craig Thompson, he will tell you more." Our boss greeted us.
I glanced over his shoulder to see devastated and shivery man, talking to our psychologist.
Nogla exchanged look with me, as we headed to that man.
"Hi," I waved at him.
"What are you waiting for? Can't you just rescue him?" He asked frustrated.
"We're working on it. Just tell us what you know."
I admired that calmness in Nogla's voice.
"I-I really don't know much. And I already told everything to every men that was speaking to me. Look, my best friend is dying there, can you fucking do something?"
Maybe I can return to office without anyone noticing.
"I'll wait for you in the car," I whispered to Nogla.
He stopped me in my middle step.
"Wait! Aren't your going to go inside to see?" He asked me.
"What for? Boys will do fine without me. Besides I think you can do best!" I replied with fake smile.
"I'm with ya," he said firmly and started to walk towards my car.
My body froze for a few seconds. I was in shock from his reaction. I thought he would have went help rescue that guy. I got to him quickly and sat down in my car next to him.
"You don't have to do this. I know you're happy that mister Fong is going to be rescued. Be a hero." I tried so hard to be alone.
"I don't, true, but you're my partner, and I've known you for couple years. You're driving to your office, I know that. I want to help you, Lui. Let me help you, tell me what happened with Delirious, please."
Right before my eyes I saw images of my former lover, my life and my everything. He was lying in his own blood, choking, trying to breath. And then there was me, trying to save him, but the only thing I could do was stare at him, crying. And his last two words were the worst of them all.
"Help me."
My body started to shake from the memories of the past. I sensed my tears forming in my eyes.
Maybe it's time for him to know.
"That fucker killed somebody dear to me. And I didn't make it on time," I replied silently, squeezing the wheel in my hand to force my tears back up.
"Someone from your family?" He asked silently and I shook my head.
"Your lover?" He guessed, and my heart skipped a beat.
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry to hear that. I had to be hard."
"Help me."
I quickly shook my head to get rid of those two words.
"But Lui it's really not his fault. Somebody had to hire him. You should be looking for that guy not for that hitman."
"You're defending him?" I growled in anger.
"What? Of course not, I'm just pointing at the fact that he was hired to kill. He didn't do it cause he wanted to. You found out who hired him?"
"That's why I want to have little chit chat with him," I replied.
"You're going to kill him, aren't ya? Where's the difference between him and you if you do it. "
I looked at Nogla and sighed.
"Can we please stop with this interrogation? You want to help me, or not?"
He seemed to be sad about something, disappointed.
"Sure, mate. You know you can always count me in."
