“Seems simple enough…” Hayden mumbled.
Of course, he was worried about Malissa’s safety and nothing else. It would be enough for him if she would just make it out unharmed.
“Just do as I say, Doc. You’re a doctor and I’m the real gangster here. You just make sure that Malissa is safe, ok?” Ethan said after summarizing his plans.
“I will not thank you for this,” Hayden snapped.
“I’m not doing this for you,” Ethan said without a care.
…
Now that the appointment time was almost upon them, the three men exchanged a few words of alignment before preparing their teams to perform their duties as planned.
“Don’t die in there,” Luka reminded Hayden sternly.
“I’ll get Malissa out,” Hayden replied with certainty.
“I know that. I’m reminding you to get yourself out too,” Luka reminded Hayden again.
Hayden just nodded his head a little, clearly his mind was focused on anything but his own safety. A frown formed on Luka’s brows before the older man reached out his hand and pulled on Hayden’s arm.
“Listen, it won’t make the little missy very happy if she makes it out, but you are harmed. You will do well to remember that you are not alone anymore,” Luka warned as he stared into Hayden’s light blue eyes.
“Taking relationship advice from a single man is just…” Hayden teased with a dry laugh.
“Hayden…” Luka muttered scornfully.
“I hear you. If something happens, the boss will want to save me first but you know what I want you to do, right?” Hayden asked as he turned to face Luka straight on.
Luka couldn’t meet Hayden’s gaze. He knew that Hayden wanted to save Malissa first no matter the cost.
“Hayden…you’re the only one left…” Luka replied with desperation in his voice.
“Promise me that you will get her out. No matter what happens. Even if no one helps you, promise me that you will personally get her out,” Hayden pressed without backing down.
“Fuck…I promise…but you better make sure that it doesn’t come down to that. She’s your girl, you save her yourself!” Luka was forced to agree.
“Thanks. Well, if I die you can take over…that would be perfect…” Hayden replied with a grin.
“Don’t joke around with me about that! Hayden!” Luka called loudly after Hayden.
