The Badside Of A MobBoss (closed)

[silvertongue217]

He pushed him self up and strained grunting and gritting his teeth as his chin rose over the bar and he completed his 33rd push up, his back muscles were rippling from the strain but he held it giving himself a few more precious seconds of exercise before dropping back down and landing on the rough floor of his prison cell. He finished his work out with a few quick stretches moving his tan muscular body in a couple of loose yoga moves before grabbing his orange prison suit and going over to the guards.

“Hey” Luthor Rudd said drawing their attention “did my bail come in Jones?” he asked flashing his signature smooth smiles as he grabbed his water bottle and took a long sip.

“We just got word it did Mr. Rudd” Jones said smiling back at him before going and unlocking the door “didn’t even take a night” he joked shaking his head and letting the tall brown haired man out of the cell, his smile faltered a little as the dangerous looking man stepped out, his hair was short buzzed in a professional no nonsense do, he was physically large taking up enough space to make him look like a mountain to other men. He was shirtless the sweat still glistening on his muscles as he rolled his shoulder blades to work out the kinks.

“Relax Jonesy my boy” Luthor said smiling at the man and clapping his back “I may look like a grunt but I’m a harmless man I swear” he said as Jones walked him out of general population and to the prisoner release.

“You still look like a grunt” Jones said shaking his head and relaxing at Luthors large boyish grin.

“I’m a teddy bear really I am!” Luthor said his grin widening “how are the kids?” he asked changing the subject as they walked through the electronic doors.

“They are good Mr. Rudd” Mike said before going on and on about his kids, Luthor listened and asked questions chatting with the man as they went through the whole prisoner release bs, his attention was so focused on his kids that he failed to notice the extra file that was slipped in along with the other stuff he had been brought in with.

“Thanks for every thing Jones” Luthor said walking into the room to change and turning to wave at him “ I hope I don’t see you again!” He said winking at him and causing the security guard to laugh as he shut the door and allowed the man the privacy to change.

Luthor dressed quickly pulling on his favorite black and red business suit and sighing as the expensive satin fit him snuggly. He checked to make sure nothing was out of place before going to the door throwing the uniform in a bag and flicking it off before stepping out with the file securely tucked in his hands.

His number two Mr.Cross was waiting smoking on the curb, he quickly stomped it out when his boss appeared and opened the door to the limo. Luthor could see him beginning to ask if he was okay and stopped him with a discreet shake of his head, they got in quickly slamming the door shut as the limo pulled away.

“Jesus boss are you okay?” Mr. Cross finally asked looking at him worriedly, Luthor rolled his eyes and brought his favorite scotch up taking a sip of it before opening the file.

“I am fine I trust the operation is still safe and secure” Luthor asked getting straight to business, Mr. Cross got the hint and methodically spoke about the business, the police may have connected him to some crime but it hadn’t been enough to compromise the real operation, Luthor was the cold calculating type and even though the girl had managed to make him slip up he always had a plan for every type of “problem” that might arise.

It was what made him the top mob boss in the city and the owner of a thousand and one real legitimate businesses to hide it under

“So what are you going to do about the charges boss?” Mr.Cross finally asked fearfully.

“I got a couple of hands in motion” Luthor said looking at the file he had managed to secure on the police women who had managed to catch him in the act, he should have known a women that sexy and alluring was under cover but she had managed to slip under his defenses and captivate him, even though she was the one who brought him down he still found himself mesmerized by her beauty and he remembered the last night they had been together………

“I want you to take me to the police station” Luthor suddenly said to the driver, he exchanged a worried glance with Mr. Cross before they both hesitantly nodded and changed direction.

“Are you sure this is wise boss?” Mr. Cross asked looking at the picture “you have to much heat on you now” he said trying not to sound freaked out.

“You worry to much” Luthor said shaking his head and smiling “Did you get the bugs set up at her address?” he asked changing the subject as they pulled up across the street form the station.

“I did boss” Mr. Cross said nodding his head rapidly.

“Then go check them” Luthor said stepping out and waving good bye to Mr. Cross, he turned looking at the station before going across the street to the bench he sat down and said hello to the people on it.

And then he waited for her

 

[zydrate]

Go in, take out the bad guy, get out.

Yeah, that had been the plan. Nicole Mason thought as she knelt over the toilet, dry heaving and trying to take deep breaths to calm her system down.

No, this assignment was supposed to put her on the map in the department. Well, it still could.

Actually, it still could, just in a different way. Yeah, she'd be known as putting Luther Rudd away all the while, pregnant with his child.

Leaning against the cool tile wall in front of the toilet, she panted before letting out a big breath of frustration. What should she do? There was no hiding. But she might have to after her cover was blown earlier last night when the arrest was made.

No, today she was to report to the station for debriefing and see where to go from there. Hopefully her testimony was worth something but word had it was that Luther already posted bail and was set to get out later this morning.

Great.

*********

After leaving the station, Nicole walked down the steps, pissed off for more than a few reasons. None of the evidence she had gathered in her time spent with Luthor was going to be admissible in court.

Fuck.

But she would have to go under protective custody.

 

[silvertongue217]

There she was

He watched her walk out admiring her form. She was still just as beautiful as the day they met in that club. Even now he could feel his heart tugging, feel the desire for her taking root. It was strange even though he had every reason to be angry with her he found himself wanting her more than any thing.

“What kind of hold do you have on me” He murmured leaning back and smiling at her “you are one of a kind my dear” He said to himself before getting up.

He ignored the police milling about ( all on his payroll) walking straight up o her with out a second thought

“Hello Nicole” He said smiling at her “your looking lovely today”

 

[zydrate]

Nicole stopped dead in her tracks as she heard that voice. That one voice she had heard over and over call her name in the throes of passion.

She reached for her gun but remembered, she wasn't one to carry it while off duty. Turning around, she came face to face with Luther, the look of surprise was evident on her face. It was rumored that he was going to get out, but she didn't think it would be this soon.

Probably him and his damn connections.

Taking a deep breath, Nicole squared her shoulders and tried to deny the first feelings that crept up on her...she had fallen in love with the man during her assignment...damnit.

"Luther..." she said, looking around, noticing other went along with their business, "What are you doing here?!"

 

[silvertongue217]

“I needed to see you my dear” He said smiling at her his hands tucked into the pocket of his coat casually as if this was some thing they usually did. His eyes traveled up and down her body taking her in before he finally gave her a small smile.

“I just got out on bail” He said shaking his head “Didnt see you there waiting for me ready to apologize ready to submit and be loyal to me which is sad because I am madly in love with you and I thought what we had was much more real…. Yet you betrayed me” He said his eyes narrowing slightly.

“Would you like to try again” He said his voice low his voice serious and more of all deadly.

 

[zydrate]

What was she supposed to say?

Her cover was blown. The case was probably being closed as they spoke. What was left for her after this assignment took so much time and energy and she was ready to just let it all float away?

"Yeah, well..." she said, shrugging before she turned, "It was a job..." that was all she could say as she started to walk away.

 

[silvertongue217]

“Well I am sorry to hear that” Luthor said watching as she walked away “Boys” He said whistling. Two big beefy guys stepped out of the alleyway directly in front of her. Each of them crossing their arms to prevent her from moving past them. At the same time a limo pulled up onto the curb and the door opened to reveal another guard holding a silenced Ruger pistol.

“I tell you I love you and that’s what you have to say” He said shaking his head and tsking sadly “Fine you leave me no choice I suggest you get in the car detective or there will be collateral damage far beyond you”

 

[zydrate]

She stopped in her tracks at the sight before. "Goddamnit.." Nicole muttered and whipped around to face Luther. She had wanted to slap him but didn't because of the 'help' might do to her since she had more than one life to look out for.

Glaring at him Luther, Nicole walked by him, hitting him intentionally with her shoulder as she got into the limo. This wasn't the time to get into any situation in the public's eye. It was bad enough she failed at her assignment, she didn't need rumors to swirl about with her name in the news.

"When they were finally alone in the limo, Nicole crossed her arms across her chest and looked out the tinted window, "You didn't have to get all dramatic out there...all you had to do was ask."

 

[silvertongue217]

“You’ll have to forgive me” He said dryly nodding at the man to get out of the limo “I’ve had a bit of a bad day what with finding out the woman I proposed to less than 48 hours ago was an undercover cop and then put me away then decided to tell me it was just a job” He said his voice very very controlled.

When inside he was boiling with rage and hurt

“Well in a few minutes it will all be over” He said pulling the gun out of his jacket and placing it in her general direction “I just want you to know I really did love you my feelings for you were genuine they were the whole time”

 

[zydrate]

She should have flinched at the site of the gun and the fact that he had it pointed at her but Nicole didn't. Instead, she looked away and tried to hide the shame in her eyes too, "Yeah, I know you love me... I love you... which is why I had to do what I did..."

It was true, she had feelings for him that she knew were wrong because of her job...

"So you're going to resort to killing me Luther? Going back to the animal I know you're not. But...you're going to do what you have to, but know this... I'm pregnant and well, I don't know...I give up."

 

[silvertongue217]

The words hit him like a ton of bricks

Pregnant! She was pregnant…. Going to have his baby! Luthor always dreamt about being a father and when he proposed to her it was with the full intention of them having a family. Now here they were, he was about to kill her and she was snitching on him. Yet according to her she loved him said he wasn’t a monster.

Luthor didn’t say any thing instead looking down at the gun on his lap before pocketing it. He reached over pouring himself a glass of whiskey and sipped it his eyes never traveling off of her.

“Then here we are me a hardened criminal you a cop both in love with one another and a child on the way” He said looking at her “what do we do now?”

 

[zydrate]

Nicole shrugged as she proceeded not to look at him. "I don't know, I haven't planned that far ahead... all I know is that I'm done with this job...The first thing they'll do is put me behind a desk for being pregnant." That and there was no way she could get ahead here... the corruption was too deep and the only way she was going to get ahead was if she was part of it.

"Look, Luther, you can hate me or what but this wasn't intentional. I had a job to do and I failed. Now I had your trust and I failed at it."

 

[silvertongue217]

He mulled over her words “So then come work for me” He said looking at her.

“Be my right hand like I was training you to be for the longest time” He said fixing her with a hard stare “that way we can have our family with out being on separate sides of the law that way we aren’t enemies and instead we can be partners” he said eagerly placing his hand on hers.

“We can be together” He said softly

 

[zydrate]

Finally, Nicole looked at Luther when he said what he did. She was amazed that he still wanted her around after what she did to him. He had talked about wanting a family but she thought it was just talk but the look he had when she told him she was pregnant...that said a lot.

Looking down at his hand on hers, Nicole gripped it and smiled, "You want me to leave the force and join you?" As tempting as that sounded, could it be done?

"I don't know Luther... can I think about it? Please?" She knew he wouldn't deny her that..would he?

 

[silvertongue217]

He thought about it for several long moments before reaching over and tapping on the divider with his knuckles. The Limo slowed down and he turned giving her hand one final squeeze before opening the door and revealing her apartment.

“I hope you make the right choice” He said leaning back and regarding her with conflicted eyes “I hope you know what your getting into if you don’t make the right choice…. And I love you” He said leaning in and giving her a deep passionate kiss before helping her out of the Limo.

 

[zydrate]

The kiss was intense, as were every kiss they had shared since their first time together. Nicole watched as the limo drove off and the words of what Luther had said echoed in her mind.

Yeah, she knew what would happen if she didn't chose his side.

Nicole stood in front of her apartment building for a few more minutes before finally turning around going inside. There were a lot things to consider right now...
****

Later that night, while in bed, Nicole stared at her phone before finally sending Luther a text telling her of her intent.

"Yes. I'll do it." She sent to him.

 

[silvertongue217]

His text came back minutes later

“I am glad you choose right….. but now I need a test of loyalty”

“If you are serious about this and serious about us then tomorrow you will go to the police evidence room and destroy any thing else on me after wards call me and let me know it was done I will believe you I will trust you I will love you”

“I will see you tomorrow my love mi amore tomorrow is the next chapter of our life”

 

[zydrate]

"Damnit.." There was no way she could do that. Even as corrupt as the system was, Nicole still had morals with in her. But yet, she loved this man.

Talk about stuck in between a rock and a hard place...

This totally sucked. She didn't want to do it. But yet, if she didn't, she was dead.

If she did it, then she was dead...at least career wise. But then again, she was dead career wise even if she did go with Luthor.

Perhaps, if she were to lay low for a couple of days...yeah, that wouldn't work. He'd find her in a second. If she wanted to hide, she'd need to get out of town and quickly. But as it was, he had eyes all over. She'd never get out without someone seeing her.

None of that would work. Running would be good if she weren't pregnant. Defying him when pregnant. It wasn't an option to run. but it also wasn't an option to do as he asked.
***

The next morning, after a shower and getting dressed. Nicole looked at her phone and read the message again. There wasn't any point by making this harder. It was time to see Luthor and tell him, in person, that she couldn't destroy the evidence. As much as she loved him, it wasn't right.

Within 30 minutes, she had made her way to his office, where she knew he would be and waited to see him. The secretary gave Nicole a hard look and told her that Luthor would see her in a few minutes, then she turned her nose up at Nicole and walked away. All this time, Nicole ignored the woman, whom she knew Luthor was probably banging on the side.

 

[silvertongue217]

He had expected this

“Send her in” He said his voice flat and neutral. He leaned back in his chair watching the door as he trid to figure out how best to proceed. He got up nodding at her to close the door as he folded his arms.

“You didn’t do it” He said not asking her but making a statement “which of course puts me in a predicament my men wont trust you without a show of faith and as long as that evidence is massed against me there will always be a threat to me and this family”

He pinched the bridge of his nose “I admire that loyalty I do but we are on opposite sides here which leaves us with quite frankly a mess the question is are you going to remain a cop or do you want to really join the family” He said crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow.

“The choice is up to you” He said “You know I love you and you know your safe both of you are but with this evidence circulating I may have to leave the country”

 

[zydrate]

His words didn't surprise her. Nicole just listened to Luther as he told her that he might have to leave the country. She leaned against the closed door to his office as she didn't say anything for a while.

Sighing, she pushed away from the door as she let it all sink in. Nicole was absolutely torn between duty and love.

"I don't know what you want from me Luther. I have morals and I don't want to jeporadize my career because of your shady dealings that you let yourself get caught in."

She ran a hand through her long, dark hair before looking at him. "You do what you have to do Luther..." She told him before walking out of the office. Would she get far? Who knew. But at least she made her point.

 

[silvertongue217]

“Wait!” Luthor said raising his hand in exasperation. He walked over to the door and gently pulled her away form it before closing “what do you want from me?” He said looking her in the eye.

“I want to be with you I though I made that point clear” He said crossing his arms “I thought I made it clear I am not only in love with you but want you and this baby so what do YOU want to do? Tell me that and I will try my best to do it!” He said resisting the urge to kiss her and instead staring into her eyes trying to make his honesty as apparent as he felt it.

 

[zydrate]

Nicole regarded Luthor before she felt so overcome with emotion, she sighed loudly and shook her head, "I don't know what I want Luthor, I really don't. Everything...it's just all happening so fast! The pregnancy, the case...you..."

She sat down on one of the couches in his office and buried her face in her hands and took a few deep breaths, "The only thing I do know is that I want to get away from it all...I just need some time to think about it all..."

 

[silvertongue217]

“I can understand that” He said sighing and running a hand through his hair “I cant imagine how overwhelming this is for you the thing between you and I the duty and oath you took the fact your pregnant I cant imagine it’s going to well inside of that mind of yours” He said trying to make a joke.

“Why don’t you get away for a while” He said coming over kneeling at her feet and taking her hand in his “You deserve a break I have that cabin house I’ve always talked about taking you to it’s peaceful there and relaxing perfect for you” He murmured looking into her eyes.

 

[zydrate]

"Just me?" Nicole asked as she looked at Luthor. "Baby, I don't know..can't you come with me?" She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned against him, "I don't want to be alone... please?" she pleaded quietly.

"I mean, think about it...just you and me away from all this...we can talk a little more and get to know each other...the real each other.." she kissed him before pulling away and looking into his eyes.

 

[silvertongue217]

“I would love to do that” He said sighing and touching his forehead to hers rubbing her arms slowly and sighing at the contact “but we cant be seen together I would have to travel separately from you so that no one sees us together and leaks it to the press” He said getting up and narrowing his eyes as he paced.

“Why don’t you go home and pack a bag?” He finally said turning to her and leaning down to capture her hands in his “go pack a bag and I will have some one come around to take you to the cabin I will already be up there and that way no one can be the wiser after every thing that we have been through and you have I am sure no one will mind you disappearing for a while” He said leaning in and giving her another deep kiss.

“How does that sound?”
