Captured for Interrogation

"Nikolai's been shot, I'm drugged and have a few injuries," Alexis reported. "Want me to fire?"

 

[bindingeagle]

"I'd like you back in one piece," she said. "How many guns are on you two?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis thought. "I have about four, Nikolai two," she said. "So six total. However, I also have a Ruger trained on me."

 

[bindingeagle]

"Toss him the phone," she said.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis held up the phone. "Sweet Georgia wants to talk to you," she said, tossing Sergei the phone. Still training her SIG on him, she turned her attention toward Nikolai for a moment. "Hey there. Thanks for coming," she said, still keeping pressure on his wound. She kissed his forehead, the simple act hurting her jaw.

After a long conversation, he tossed the phone back. "Apparently my daughter is still alive," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Safe and sound in Baltimore," Alexis said, catching the phone. "Honestly, I know what usually happens to your people when they fail a mission, you think I was going to send her back to Daddy? Nikolai and I staged the whole thing. Well, St. Petersburg was real, but not when she was on U.S. soil."

Sergei lowered his gun. "Jonas, Grigori, patch him up and bring me the antidote." He led her back to lie down on the bed and got her water.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis drank the water, unsure of what caused the change in behavior. She looked over at Nikolai and gave a soft smile.

Sergei stroked her hair until the pills arrived and gave her two. "I apologize, but like you said, we couldn't trust each other."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis nodded and knocked back the two pills. "And for someone being drugged, I put up a hell of a fight," she said, attempting to grin but retracted and she massaged her jaw. "How are you doing, Nikolai?" she asked softly.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Nikolai gave a thumbs up as he was taken from the room to somewhere that was more hospitable for surgery.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis gave a small smile as he was taken away to get himself stitched up. She looked up at Sergei. "Honestly, how horrible did you beat my face?" she asked.

 

[bindingeagle]

"It's bad," he said, getting a washcloth to clean her up. He gently scrubbed the blood off and took a grip on her jaw. "This is going to be uncomfortable," he said, popping it back in place.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis let out a loud shriek of pain as he snapped her jaw back in place. She rubbed it once he was done. "Anything broken?"

 

[bindingeagle]

"No, I trie not to break anything," he said. "If things went badly, I had very devious plans but that isn't important now. The situation is resolved.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Good," Alexis said. She sighed and rested her head on the headboard.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Is your head getting straight?" he asked. He got out ointments to put on her bruises, taking care of her injuries before thinking of his own.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Oh, it's been straight, believe it or not," Alexis said, chuckling. "Despite the drug. But I now longer feel like I'm going to pass out and my gun fire accidentally- that has happened, we do not discuss that- so that's good."

Sergei laid down, tired from the fight. He left an arm out on the off chance she wanted to cuddle.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis got up and doctored him, like he did her, not speaking, just doing.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Thanks," he said as she worked. "Anything broken?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"Your nose. I wasn't as careful," she said, examining it a bit more closely. "I'd get an expert to look at it, I break bones more than I fix them."

 

[bindingeagle]

Sergei sat up and taped his nose after resetting it with a pop and a groan. He laid back down. "You were very spectacular this evening, that much was honest," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Which part of the evening are you referring to, the sex or the fight?" Alexis asked dryly.
