Chris was about to tell Brian that the keys were in the ignition when Leon pulled up. She was more than glad, and she just about fell into him. She couldn't speak because she was still paralyzed with fear. She almost cried but she didn't because she didn't want to appear weak.
Finally, she found her voice. "A guy was looking for you. He was just....scary." Chris frowned, remembering what else he had said. "He claimed his name was Tristan, but I don' believe him."
Chris was still unawhere of the signifigance of the name Tristan, but she didn't want to ask, either. If this guy was involved with whoever Tristan was, she wanted nothing to do with it. But now that the guy was searching for Leon, that meant he was involved, which also meant that Chris was involved. Over the past few days, Chris and Leon had been hanging out so much so that she felt they were sort of officially a couple, although it hadn't been said out loud.
Slumping into Leon's side now felt comfortable. It felt good to have him in her arms, and it gave her back the strength she needed. She pulled away and ran a slightly shaky hand through her hair, glancing at him. "Who is Tristan? Leon, I'm scared, okay. I want to know everything. No lying."

Leon felt his heart sink at the fear in her voice so he held her closer, his hands running up and down her back, smoothing through her hair. "Your right he did lie" He had personally rang the hospital when Faye had finally informed him what had been happening, he had been on his way over to talk to Brian about things.
At her comment he frowned and nodded his head, he took her hand and led her into the house, "Tristan is Faye's ex, he was an abusive jerk" He felt the anger curl through his body and had to force himself to calm.
"That guy wasnt Tristan" He shook his head, flashing back to the night he had walked into his sisters apartment to find him with a gun at her head.
"Tristan is paraylsed from the neck down" Stepping closer to Chris he pulled her closer.
"Who ever this guy is, im gonna find out" He assured kissing the top of her head.

Chris listened to the story, horrified. But she showed no emotion on her face. She was pacing back and forth until Leon pulled her in. She looked up at him.
"And now this guy has called a hit on you and your sister. And anybody close to you." Christian frowned. "Which means me, Brian, Mia, Rome, etc. Leon, we're all screwed."
She pulled away from him and scratched the side of her head. The fear was gone and now she was just trying to think. "Was this Tristan guy in a gang of some sort? Or even a drug cartel? Anything, Lee, anything. Stuff that can help us figure out who we're dealing with."
Chris had already been through something like this. After her mother had died, she had come to LA searching for something. She had done all kinds of research on the local gangs and drug cartels and had found out as much about them as she could without a police badge. She sighed, trying to remember all that she could about her research.
And then Chris remembered something. The guy had called her by her name, but she had never given him her name. "Leon, he called me by my name. I never told him who I was. They're watching us, Leon. They're watching us all." The reality of the situation sunk in, and the fear was back in Christian. She wasn't really scared for herself; no, she could take care of herself. She was more scared for Leon. She didn't know what Leon had done to Tristan, but she was sure that these people were going to do it to him as revenge.

Leon shook his head "Thats not going to happen"He stated pulling her towards him, running his hands through her hair, but when she pulled away he furrowed his brow, listening to his words.
"I dont think so, he was into drugs, but nothing heavy"He stated shaking his head, but then, there was a lot he didnt know about Tristan, he had always said he was a good guy, what he did to his sister prooved other wise.

Brian slid around the corner to follow Tristan and saw his car parked on the right side of the street. He stopped behind it and saw that it was empty. Nobody was anywhere around it. His fist hit the steering wheel and he turned around.
On the sidewalk he spotted Chris in Leon's arm's. "He's gone." He handed her the keys. "Ditched the car around the corner." He gave Leon a stern look. "You better start telling me who you got mixed up with. He knew who I was and he siad you're next. Leon, who is that?"

Leon shook his head, pulling Chris tighter to him "I havent got a clue"He stated honestly "But it wasnt Tristan, hes still locked up, i checker earlier" He bit the inside of his lip, he couldnt belive that after all thsi time something was finaly happening.
"Looks like form now on we're all looking over our shoulder"He kissed the top of Chris's head.
"Im sorry youve been dragged into this"

"Leon, if these people are after you, then they may as well be after me, too."
Chris smiled half-heartedly. She half-turned to Brian. "Do you have any connections that you could use? I have mine. But we need to find out who we're dealing with. We have to fight back."
Chris wasn't going to run; she had only ever ran once in her life, and she wasn't planning on doing it again any time soon. She frowned.

brian looked from Leon to Chris and back to Leon. "Are you two together?" He shook his head and couldn't help but remark. "I have a couple of other friends you could make out with." As soon as the words had left his mouth he regretted them because it was very rude and because he was afraid of what Leon's reaction might be. "Sorry."
Brian nodded in regards to her question. "I used to work for the FBI. I still have friends there. If you see a picture of him, will your recognise him?"

Leon raised a brow, looking down at Chris "Who else were you making out with?"He questioned with an amused smirk, it didnt bother him, he simply shrugged at Brian.
"What did this guy even look like" He questioned with a raised brow, looking between the both of them.

Christian bit her lip at Brian's comment. She wanted to say something nasty back, but she refrained. "Brian, I can still see his face. I'll never forget it." Chris frowned. "Short brown hair, I think green or blue eyes, around six feet in height. Muscular build. Damn, he sounds like every other average guy out in LA. I don't think he had any tattoos or scars. Not that I remember, anyway."
"Can you get Leon and Faye into protection? They're obviously the targets here." Christian frowned as she thought more. "No, forget that. They need to stay as far apart from each other as possible. That makes it harder for them both to be taken out." Chris nodded, satisfied.

"Hm, Chris can tell you who she's making out with."
He nodded at Chris' description. "I'm not with the FBI anymore and not exactly in their good books. But I still have a friend who could help us. She works in the office. Let's go and check out the database."

Leon nodded his head dropping his gaze down to Chris "Please just tell me it wasnt Rome"He laughed, trying to lighten the mood, he shared a look with Brian, it sounded like a long shot, this guy could be any one, shaking his head he followed behind Brian.

They arrived at the FBI headquarters downtown and asked to speak to agent Trinh who luckily was at her desk and signed them in.
"Brian, long time." She got up and hugged him. "You look different." She stated. It was quite a change from suit, tie and short cropped hair to shorts, t-shirt and wavy longer hair with no shave.
"Hey, good to see you." he hugged her back. "You look great. is the old guy treating you allright? Trinh, I need a favour. Somebody threatened my friend here and this lady saw the guy. Could we have a look through the database?"
He lifted her brows. "I have to ask permission. Hold on."

Chris really didn't want to go to the cops; she was wanted in her home state, after all. But they didn't need to know that. She wouldn't have to tell them her name; she would just have to look at some pics and identify the guy.
She smiled at the agent, but hovered next to Leon.

Leon held her close to him, she was nervous he could tell, "Il be right there"He stated, wrapping an arm around her wasit., He hated being here just as much as everyone else was, swallowing he waited for the kind Agent to do her job.

Trinh came back and told Brian that the boss wanted to see him. Instantly Brian got a creepy feeling that this might be one of the many occassions that got suckered into doing another job for a government agency. The man motioned for him to sit down and Brian did so without asking why.
At the same time Trinh opened up the application with all data and pictures of convicts and wanted people. She pulled another chair up and said. "Sit down, please. So you're Brian's friends?" she looked at the office he was in. "I wish things hadn't gone so bad for him. I miss him around here. He used to be my partner."

Chris sat down, kneeding her hands in her laps. She smiled at the agent. "I just moved in down the street from Brian." Chris looked down at her feet. She wanted to be out of her ASAP, but she had a feeling that wasn't going to happen.

Trinh entered the age range, eye colour, height and showed Chris and Leon at least 300 different guys that matched within the LA area. Another 400 from outside. "Knock yourself out, guys." She smirked while she went away and came back with two cups of coffee. "You might need those!"

Leon smiled up at Trinh "Thanks"He smiled nodding his head, one picture capturing his attention and it instantlly got his blood boiling.
"Thats Tristan"He stated, he had no idea how such a good looking guy, according to his sister, could turn out to be such an abusiv assewhole.
