The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Jealous

Even though Matt‘s words were firm enough, one look for Elijah made him know that his boss was about to do something stupid and reckless.

“This guy is right...

Zac always carries a gun, and your skin is not bulletproof, so you need to listen to your man.” Lex said, frowning at Elijah.

Reading the faces of the men around him, Elijah knew that none of them was going to side with him on this one, and he paced back and forth for a while, his mind racing and thinking of every single idea possible.

The more he thought, the angrier he became, and then the storm rising in him simply ceased.

“We need to make sure Dr. William‘s great–grandson does not reach that mansion,” Elijah stated firmly as he turned to look at all of them.

“We need to get

the boy and use him to our advantage.” “We can get the kids for you, but it‘s going to cost you,” Teddy said, testing the water to see if Elijah‘s desperation will make him pay more.

“Get the kid, and I will pay four times what Texan offered you guys...

and make sure he doesn‘t get harmed in the process...‘ “Four times! Hmmm, at this rate I can put a bullet in someone if you tell me to–” “No shooting.

Just get the kid and make sure that he is without a scratch.” “Yes, boss!” The sudden change in Teddy‘s tone towards Elijah made the other five men dumbfounded for a second, but when Elijah looked over at them and asked, “Can you guys do it?”

They all replied, “Show thing, boss.”

There was a silent pause as Elijah looked around the room, and then he mumbled, “You guys can‘t bring him back here though.”

“We can take him to my place.

It‘s off the radar and away from human eyes,” Lex calmly suggested.

Looking over at Matt, Elijah could see that his man was alarmed about such decisions, but it was either risking getting bombed or abducted and there was no in–the–middle decision.

After thinking it over for a while, Elijah looked back at Lex and said, “You will take me to your place, and my men will join your colleagues to get the kid.”

“Boss, I...” Matt started to say but Elijah stopped him by raising his hand,

“We have less than three hours to make this happen before four lives get taken away, so let‘s not debate this Matt,” Elijal said firmly.

Knowing that his boss was taking a great risk and putting them in a lesser danger just in case things go south and Lex and the others have a change of heart, Matt was deeply hesitant, but still, he nodded.

“Dan‘s driver picks him up at two o‘clock, so we gotta move now.” Rookie said, reading the energy between Matt and Elijah, and caging his own worry for his boss away.
