Lips of deceit

Shadz

Matt's POV

The guys and I have been working on the FBI since Sammy was murdered. Sammy had been wanting to escape the mob life for a while when he died… So when he died we swore to make them pay for what they did to him. Sammy had found out something big and called us to go to his place so he could tell us, but when we got there he was already dead. He had a scribbled note hidden in his clenched fist, all the note said was “Klaus isn”. Sammy had found something about Klaus and that was what got him killed. We actually never expected to be FBI agents, we didn’t have the experience we thought necessary, and despite the fact that we had never got ourselves into the dirty businesses of the Mob we were related with Klaus. I’ve been leading the undercover operation, but the investigation itself was in the hands of the Huntington P.D., but that was about to change… I had been keeping an eye on the detectives that were in charge of Klaus’ case. When we first got undercover, Samuel Gilbert was the one leading it and he had been doing a crappy job about it, that’s one of the reasons I started to check him out… I thought that maybe he was corrupt or being coerced by any of Klaus’ men, but before I got close to figure out what was going on with detective Gilbert, he went missing. His daughter had been running the investigation for the last year and she seemed to be good at her job, not as fast as I would like, but still... She had good instincts, she was following the right leads, but that wouldn’t be enough to get Klaus, that’s why my boss decided it was time the investigation changed hands and he named me to lead the investigation too, we had access to information and we were more likely to gather evidences that she never dreamed of. I had a little chat with the Chief of the Huntington P.D., and he asked me to give him a day so he could get everything ready for me. I gave him the day he asked for and now I was on my way to his office to get Klaus’ file.

When I got to the police station, Chief Rigsby was in his office with a young female. She had her back to me… She was wearing black fabric pants, which clung perfectly on her ass, combined with a white tank top that wrapped her tiny figure perfectly, the holster hanging a little below her waist finished her outfit. As I reached the office she turned around and eyed me curiously. I couldn’t help but notice her badge hanging around her neck, falling perfectly between her firm breasts. She had sparkling green eyes, hypnotizing red full lips, perfect little nose, rosy cheeks coloring her pale skin, her light brown hair pulled up in a bun.

“Good morning, Chief Rigsby! Good morning, miss…”, I shook the Chief’s hand and politely stretched out my right hand for her to shake waiting for her name. I had a feeling I could guess who she was…

“Gilbert, Adrianne Gilbert. And you are?”, she looked at my hand but didn’t show any intentions to shake it. Gilbert’s daughter. Just like I thought! I’d love to ride her!

“Sanders, Matthew Sanders.”, I replied politely and shoved my stretched out hand in my pocket.

“Nice tattoo you have there, Sanders! Is it okay for you to have a tattoo somewhere as noticeable as your hand? I’d thought your superiors wouldn’t approve that.”, she tried to disguise it, but her tone came out bitter.

“What do you have for me, Chief?”, I intently ignored her.

“You should be asking that to agent Gilbert. She’s been leading the investigation since her father’s disappearance. Now that you two know each other you can discuss things together, she’ll give you all you need to proceed, every piece of information she has gather will be

piece of information she has gather will be yours. You two can leave now… I have some other businesses to take care of.”, he dismissed us.

She led the way out of the Chief’s office and I followed her close by, watching her seductively swing her hips unconsciously. She took a seat behind her desk and waited for me to do the same but I stood in front of her.

“Can we please talk first?”, she asked politely for the first time since we met.

“Sure, Gilbert! What do you want to talk about? The weather?”, I couldn’t help but tease her as I took a seat in front of her.

“I want to be a part of the investigation. This is personal for me now…”, she said. I’ll have a hard time getting rid of her… she seems eager in be part of the investigation, too eager.

“I couldn’t care less about what you want. There’s a reason why this investigation changed hands… This matter belongs to the FBI now and as far as I know you’re not an FBI agent. You’re out, just deal with it. Maybe your feelings were what got this whole operation messed up…”, I replied trying to sound cold, I couldn’t risk the whole operation just because she wanted to be a part of it.

“I don’t mix things… If something, my feelings were what got me this far, pushing me to go till the edge to catch this motherfucker! You have no right to make insinuations, you do not know me. If you stayed where you belong I’d catch Klaus within a year. I’m good at what I do, I don’t need your acquiescence.”, she spat bitterly. Attitude! Just what I needed now… This girl means trouble, I’m sure of it. Hot girl combined with brains and attitude it’s a bad, bad equation for me! Keep it in your pants, Matt!

“Why haven’t you caught him yet? You don’t have the clearance or the skills to do what’s necessary to get him good. Maybe you’re good… but not good enough. Now… May I have his file?”, I found it amusing to tease her… I stretched out my hand asking for the file.

“Fine!”, she spat venomously. She gathered Klaus’ file and handed it to me.

“Is everything in here?”, I asked.

“Yeah, everything is there.”, she replied.

“Good! I’ll see you when I turn Klaus in.”, I provoked her once again and smiled widely.

I left and drove towards Dean’s house, where the guys were expecting me… Josh opened the door for me when I got there, Dean and Mack immediately stopped playing guitar to hear whatever I had to say.

“So? How was it?”, Josh asked impatiently.

“I got the file… We’re officially in charge of everything. I met the girl, Gilbert’s daughter…”

“So… How is she? Typical female officer?”, Dean smirked amused.

“No… She’s hot, dude! Nice breasts, firm ass, sparkling green eyes, and her lips… You gotta see those lips, man! I’m telling you, all I could think about was getting a little taste of those red full lips! But she has trouble written all over her face… I got a feeling she won’t let go of this so easily…”, Dean dropped the smirk.

“What makes you think that? Her father wasn’t fully committed to the case… what makes you think she is?”, Mack asked.

“It’s just a hunch… She’s definitely more proficient than her father was. Her file on Klaus is twice as big than her father was, and she’s only been working on the case since last year. I don’t know, I guess we’ll see what happens.”

“Klaus wants you at the docks tonight, Shadz!”, Josh said to me.

“Yeah… I’m aware of that. He told me yesterday…”, I replied.

I spent the rest of the day at Dean’s, analyzing Gilbert’s file on Klaus with the guys. I left Dean’s house a little after sunset… I parked my SUV close to the building where Klaus was. And I began my round to see if everything was in check and that was when I saw her, crouched, with her camera ready, about to ruin everything.

“What are you doing here?”, I asked harshly as I reached her.

“f**k! You scared the hell out of me… I was just out for a walk.”, she got up and I lost myself looking at her bare, toned legs… she was wearing shorts, a strapless top, some flip flops and her camera hung on her neck.

“Out for a walk? Like I buy that s**t… I’m not stupid, Gilbert! What the f**k are you doing here, woman? You’re gonna ruin everything if you don’t stop nosing around.”, I hissed furiously as I grabbed her arm and started to drag her out of the dock, I needed to get her out of there before someone saw her.

“Hey, Shadz! What do you have there? New friend?”, f**k! Here goes my plan to take her out of here unnoticed.Donovan asked curious to meet the hottie I was dragging along.

“She’s hardly my friend, Donovan! She’s a cop. She was snooping around…”, I replied coldly trying to put up a good act.

“What? A cop? How do you know that?”, Donovan asked.

“I saw her a couple of times wandering around driving a patrol car. I’m going to take her to the boss to see what he wants to do with her.”, I lied.

“Good thing you recognized her, man! I bet he’ll lock her up at the very least…”, Donovan chuckled lightly.

“Lets go... Move that lazy ass, woman!”, I blared at her trying to sound pissed as I kept dragging her by her arm.

“Let go of me, you asshole!”, she struggled to free herself from my tight hold.

“It’ll be worse for you if you keep fighting.”, I warned her as I tightened even more my grip on her arm.

“I’m not scared of you. Let go of me or I…”, I pushed her roughly to face me and cut her off.

“Or you what? What will you do?”, I asked trying to sound threatening. Donovan was watching the scene from a far distance with his arms folded across his chest.

She kneeled me in the groin, I instinctively crouched a little in pain and she threw her head violently against mine. I still had a grip on her so she punched me in the face and freed herself from my hold and started to run away from me. She had a pretty good right hook! f**k! She was getting away! I reached her in no time, I grabbed her and threw her over my shoulder effortlessly.

“Let me go! Why are you doing this, Sanders? What’s in this for you?”, she struggled and punched me repeatedly on my lower back. I’ll be all bruised in the morning if she keeps punching me!

“Shut the f**k up, woman! Don’t call me that. Not here... Here I’m Shadz or Shadows. Stop struggling or I’ll drop you.”, I threaten her. If someone had heard her calling me Sanders I was screwed!

“Why should I make it easy for you? Maybe I’ll call you Sanders so your dear boss knows who he’s really dealing with.”, She threaten back. She couldn’t let me have the last word, she always had to riposte.

“You wouldn’t risk it…”, I replied coldly.

“What wouldn’t I risk?”, she asked.

“The whole operation… you said it yourself.This is personal to you now. You wouldn’t blow on me without knowing for sure if this isn’t just an act… I may be undercover. You wouldn’t want to risk it, would you?”, I hoped it was enough to keep her mouth shut.

“Can you please put me down? I can feel the blood pumping in my head…”, she asked.

“We’re almost there…”, I informed.

“We’re almost where? Where are you taking me?”, she asked again.

“I’m taking you to Klaus, of course! He’ll decide what he wants to do with you…”, I tried to sound detached.

“You’re taking me to Klaus? You’re f*****g kidding me, right? Why are you doing this to me?”, she began to struggle against my shoulder again, punching me even harder than she did before.

“STOP STRUGGLING! I swear to God I’ll drop you… Stop hitting me.”, I yelled furiously. I was about to drop her if she didn’t stop that bullshit.

“Stop threatening me! Why don’t you drop me already?”, she dared rancorously.

I took her to meet Klaus, I could only hope he wouldn’t order me to finish her. I played my part, pretending not to know her or even her name but he knew her! He knew who she was, who her mother was and of course he knew her dad… Klaus knew that she was the one behind his investigation which made me wonder what else could he possibly knew.

“What do you want me to do with her, Mr. Saltzman?”, I asked after he finally addressed to me.

“Blindfold her, take her to the safe house and keep an eye on her. She cannot be left alone at any second. If you ever need to leave the house ask Sin or Vengeance or Christ to cover for you. You’re responsible for her until I say otherwise… No one will lay hand on a single hair of her, do you got me? No phones or wireless laptops on the house, she’ll have no contact to the outside world. Do I make myself clear?”, Klaus asked firmly.

“Crystal clear, Sir!”, I replied. Not only does he know her but he specifically wants me to keep an eye on her… Better yet, he doesn’t want her harmed. I’m missing something here… I just… I can’t seem to put my finger on what it is yet! But I’ll figure it out! “Now I’m babysitting… That’s just great!”, I muttered under my breath loud enough for her to hear me.

“It was a pleasure to finally meet you, Adrianne!”, Klaus said.

“Can’t say the same. Can I ask you something?”, she spat bitterly.

“If you change your tone I might answer that question.”, he replied severely.

“You’re behind my father’s disappearance, aren’t you?”, she accused him furiously.

“You’d like to know that, wouldn’t you? Maybe I am, maybe I’m not…”, he was smiling evilly at me.

“I know you are. I know all about your businesses... All I need is to gather the evidence to lock you down for life. And I will… I’ll find my way out of that safe house of yours and I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to haunt you down. I’m gonna get you! I’ll make you pay for every single one of your crimes.”, she promised him. She seemed to despise him… How come does he want to keep her unharmed? If she’s acting, she’s pretty damn good at it!

“Your obstinated and opinionated just like your father. He would have been proud… Shadz, take her…”, Klaus ordered me.

I tossed her over my shoulder again, carrying her to my black SUV parked outside. I made her sit in the front next to the driver’s seat while I searched for something to use as a blindfold.

“f**k! What the f**k I am going to use as a folder now?”, I cursed. “Get your shirt off.”, I ordered her, but I knew she wouldn’t just obey.

“What?? Yeah, right… Good luck with that! I’m not giving you my shirt.”, she said scornfully.

“If I tell you to take it off, you do it.”, I replied demandingly.

“I’m not staying half naked in front of you.”, she stated firmly.

“Such a prude! It’s not like I haven’t seen women breasts… I have, way bigger than yours.”, I laughed.

“You have? WOW… Good for you!”, she said sarcastically. “You haven’t seen mine yet, and I’m not changing that… Find yourself another folder.”, she spat harshly.

“Fine!”, I took off my T-shirt and folded it to cover her eyes.

I caught her staring me, watching my every move and I couldn’t help but tease her a little. “See something you like?”, I gave her my best smile.

“You’re so full of yourself! What’s with all the deathbats? One on your stomach, the other one on your hand...”, she intently avoided the question.

“It represents my crew, a friend of mine came up with this symbol to represent us. As for my hand deathbat… One of my best friends died a couple years ago.”, I couldn’t just lie to her face…

“I’m sorry about your loss...", she muttered sympathetically.

“Whatever… Turn around!”, I demanded as I tried to cover her eyes. After I successfully fold her eyes, I closed the passenger door and in less than five seconds I was in the drivers seat..

“Seat belt… s**t! I forgot to fasten yours… Let me help you with that.”, I muttered leaning against her to reach the seat belt.

She pushed me away harshly. “I can handle it.”, she spat.

“Fine! Suit yourself. I was just trying to help…”, I said coldly.

“You could have thought about that earlier tonight. Too late to help me now…”, she snapped roughly.

“Don’t you blame this whole situation on me, woman! It’s your damn fault… You should have let it go. You were no longer involved in this, so tell me what the hell were you doing here? This didn’t concern you anymore.”, I snapped back as I started the engine and put the car in gear.

“I knew he had a shipment coming tonight and that it held important s**t… I thought I might find him here so I took my shot.”, she confessed.

“Ouh! And you did find him…”, I sighed. “This piece of information was not on the file you gave me this morning.”, I didn’t remember reading it in her file on Klaus. Besides all the information she had gathered, she had a few cards under her sleeve, the file wasn’t complete.

“It wasn’t? I must have forgotten to write it down…”, she played dumb.

“Stop lying to me! What else did you hide on the file?”

“You say that like you’re the most honest person on earth… Pleeease!!! You’ve been lying to me since we met. I’ll come clean if you do the same. Are you undercover? Are you on Klaus side? Which side are you on?”, she inquired.

“Enough with the stupid questions!”, I turned the radio on, loud enough to make a conversation impossible, so I could avoid any more questions.

I drove silently all the way to the safe house that was somewhere near Santa Ana. I parked in the driveway and I let myself out of the car. She was trying to do the same after she had already unfastened her seat belt, but before I hauled her over my shoulder before she had a chance to set foot on the ground.

“I can walk, you know? Put me back on the ground.”, she demanded while struggling against my hold.

“Not happening! I’ll put you back on the ground after we’re inside the house. Now… STOP FIGHTING ME, Goddammit!”, but she didn’t stop as I told her and I smacked my hand on her sweet ass twice.

“What the f**k is wrong with you, man?”, she shouted and punched me a little below my ribs making me crouch involuntarily in pain. I dropped her as I crouched in pain.

“What’s wrong with me?? What’s wrong with you?”, I hissed in pain.

“What’s wrong with me? I don’t know… Maybe I’m being kidnapped by someone who’s supposed to be on my side. JERK!”, she snapped loudly.

“f**k, f**k, f**k, FUUUCK! Does your head hurt?”, I asked softly as I held her in my arms.

“Like hell... I’m feeling a little dizzy, Sanders.”, she admitted.

“We’re almost there… Don’t fall asleep, Gilbert!”, I ran as fast as I could towards the door so I could lay her on the couch and take care of her small bleeding.

“Why would I fall asleep? Is this safe house under surveillance? Any hidden cams or bugs I should know of?”, she asked.

“It’s a safe house, Gilbert! No surveillance necessary…”, I assured her before she blacked out.

*****************

“Gilbert! f**k!!! Adrianne! Wake up…”, I kept trying to bring her back to consciousness.

“What’s that smell?”, she asked annoyed pushing away the small vial I was holding close to her nose. “Take that s**t away from me. Are you trying to drug me??”

“You passed out, you were out for thirty minutes. I was just trying to wake you up. You scared the s**t out of me, woman! I thought you had a serious concussion. I stopped the bleeding…”, I was so relieved she was finally awake… I thought I lost her for a moment there.

“What bleeding?”, she asked alarmed. f**k! You should keep your damn mouth shut, Matthew! More drama… She didn’t need to know. f**k!

“You hit your head in the pavement when you fell, you had a small bleeding in the back of your head and I stopped it.”

“You dropped me.”, she accused me.

“Don’t blame it on me. You’re the one who punched me… You had it coming!”, I snapped back.

“Whatever!”,she stood up from the couch and headed to the front door.

“Where do you think you’re going?”, I got a tight hold on her wrist.

“Away from you!”, she snapped. I pulled out the handcuffs I had on the back of my jeans and closed the metallic band around her left wrist. “Handcuffs? Really?”, she asked incredulously.

“I didn’t want it to be like this… But I have no other option.”, I closed the other metallic band around my own wrist.

“f**k YOU! Handcuff me to something else, at least…”, she spat.

“NO! This way I can keep an eye on you constantly. I know how to unlock these without a key, so my guess is that you know it too, so I won’t risk it. Whenever you need to go to the bathroom I’ll take them off, but that’s it. Everything else you have to do it with me around.”, I said with a s**t eating grin plastered across my face, I enjoyed messing with her, getting on her nerves… She surely was messing with mine!

“How do you expect me to get dressed or undressed?”, she asked with her voice drenched in hatred and that bothered me… As much as I enjoyed messing with her, I didn’t want her to hate me. I was so physically attracted to her, so drawn to her…That was f*****g crazy…I had just met her.

“In the bathroom, of course! I’m not trying to see you naked… I don’t think your nudity is worth the trouble. I’m doing this because I have to... Don’t flatter yourself, Gilbert!”, I said trying my best to sound casual.

“Do I have to sleep with you?”, she asked distressed.

“Of course! I’m not letting you out of my sight. My neck is on the line, you know?”

“Why are you doing this? Why? I thought you were one of the good guys… Chief Rigsby told me you were one of the best if not the best agent to lead this case. And look at you… You’re on Klaus side, for God sake! Everything I worked for in the past year, all my dad’s work is going down the drain all because of you. You’re a traitor, you make me sick! I don’t want to be near you, much less to be handcuffed to you… Ask Klaus to find me another babysitter.”, she yelled furiously at me.

“There’s a reason why Klaus assigned me to babysit you… I don’t know why, but you are of value to him. He assigned me because I’m the one he trusts the most, he sees me as his own son. There’s no way he’ll assign any other of his men to babysit you.”, I let my mouth speak up my thoughts. “Have you eaten?” , I asked.

“I ate a sandwich on my way to the dock…”, she answered absent-minded.

“I’m ordering some pizza… Do you want some?”, I asked but she was lost in her thoughts.

“WHAT?”, she spat irritably as I waved my hand in front of her face.

“Do you want me to order you some pizza too?”, I asked again quietly.

“No… I’m good! I just need some alcohol in my system to deal with the idea of sharing a bed with you.”, she kept her spiteful tone.

“Alcohol is not a problem here. You have a whole bar for yourself right there.”, I pointed to the bar at the furthest left corner of the room. I reached my cell phone from my front pocket and dialed Mack's number before I pressed the phone against my ear. “Hey, V! Order me some pizza and had it delivered at the safe house.”

”Safe house? Let me guess… That Gilbert girl made her first move at the docks"., he guessed.

“Yeah! I’m babysitting…”

We were sitting at the bar and she was drowning in Jack when the doorbell rang. I stood up and began to walk towards the door before I remembered the damned cuffs…I dragged her behind me as I reached the door and before opening it, I hid my cuffed hand behind my back.

The delivery guy handed me the pizza and asked for his money. “Baby, do you mind reach the twenty dollar bill that’s on my left back pocket?”, I asked her sweetly, praying she would just stick with me without causing some scene.

“No can do! My hands are chained…”, she smirked widely as showed our cuffed wrists to the delivery guy.

“Kinky s*x! Have you tried it yet? I strongly advise you to try it…”, I smiled and winked at the frighten boy standing at the doorstep. “Can you please pay the poor guy, Adrianne? He’s feeling uncomfortable here knowing what were about to do, baby! Hand him the money…”, I spoke softly so I wouldn’t draw any more attention to us.

I felt her hand slide into my back pocket as she reached the twenty dollar bill out of my pocket and handed it to the delivery guy. “Keep the change, man!”, I said before shutting the door in the guy’s face.

“You won’t pull that stunt again if you know what’s good for you!”, I threatened her.

“Take this off my wrist and you won’t have to worry about something like this again.”, she replied defiantly, she wasn’t easy to intimidate.

“I was being reasonable… Your attitude changed my mind. From now on the only private moments you’ll have will be whenever you have to pee or poop. You can shower with your clothes on if you like, ‘cause we will be showering together until you behave yourself.”, I stated firmly. I knew she would be beyond pissed with the new rules, but payback is a b***h!

“Are you out of your f*****g mind? Showering together? You gotta be f*****g kidding me! I’m not showering with you.”, she spat fuming.

“We’ll see about that… Now shut the f**k up so I can eat quietly.”, I demanded hiding a smile.
