Chapter 19-

Alexis couldn't believe it. Her eyes were shut tight, but all she could see in her head was Jaden's smile. Her heart reformed itself, and like a muscle that you work out, it tore and grew back stronger. She didn't want this feeling to end, her and Jaden. But after a couple of seconds he broke away. After all they had a job to do.

"Thank you" she said to him.

He nodded "when this is all over, will you…"

"Yes" and she pecked his lips one more time. They were soft ,like her own, but still maintained that manly feeling to them.

He smiled back at her, and then it turned to a serious face. It was time to get this done with. Alexis still felt happy even though he had stopped smiling. He was hers and she couldn't get over that as fast as she could.

"Alexis, we got to do this and fast" Jaden said.

She nodded and Jaden handed her a pile of envelopes that he had been carrying in his coat pocket. On each envelope was a stamp with the letter A in bright red ink on it. Inside each envelope was a small detonation charge.

The plan was simple. Alexander had contacted a couple of people he wished to live from this ordeal. This included Alexis's father and a couple of the other politicians and business man. It did not however include the current governor. Alexander had decided to take this mission to the next level, to where he would wipe out all of the corruption in the government at the same time. Quite smart if I must say so myself, accomplishing his own goals while doing someone else's.

Alexis and Jaden went to each table and dropped an envelope into the middle of it. They told its occupants not to open it until the raffle, which was never going to happen. A couple of the listed people stood up when they saw the note and left the room. They knew it was happening and they didn't want to stick around.

When Alexis's father stood up and left, he nudged Alexis and gave her a knowing smile. She scowled at him and finished handing out her stack. The stage was set and all Alexis had to do was go to the bathroom, and not come back.

She walked by Jaden who wrapped his arms around her. He was never this affectionate to anyone before, but it suited him quite well. He put his lips to hers and said in a soft voice, "I love you Lex"

She nodded "I love you too" and she broke away. He stretched his hand out to Alexis who was walking away to go to the bathroom, but Jaden's job wasn't done just yet. He went over to the corner and waited, a safe distance that the explosives wouldn't affect him, too much.

Outside the building and peering through the window, Alexander scanned the scene like a hawk. He smiled when he saw Jaden and Alexis kiss and he was very happy for him. However he felt like something would go wrong. He had a large MG in his hands which was very bulky. After the explosive charges blew he would go in and finish off any survivors, Jaden was there as back up. But for some strange reason, he didn't feel confident in the plan, he felt like he was missing something.

It was 10 seconds till countdown and Jaden ducked under the nearby table and pulled out his pistol. After the next 9 seconds were over, a large bang rang through the whole room. When it died out Jaden peered over the counter and saw a sight that would make the bravest of men tremble. Bodies littered the floor and their blood filled the air around them. Missing pieces of clothing were falling down from the explosion and the organs of those decapitated spilled out. The tables were in ruins and blasted to the nearest walls around them.

Alexander hoped through the window and surveyed the scene and felt a large thump in his heart. He forgot to make sure that his main target was actually here.

A shot rang out and hit Alexander, his own blood flying over the place. It had hit near his heart and Jaden looked terrified at what he saw. Standing in another corner was a large man, with a spike of brown hair. He wore a police jacket and had a smug look on his face. This man was viper.

"Thought you could kill me now" he said mockingly to Alexander.

He just stood there and grimaced at the pain, dropping his MG. Blood trickled down his torso and he looked at Jaden, telling him with his eyes to stay put. Jaden wanted to run to Alexander who had only moments to live, but didn't. He couldn't disobey an order.

Alexander staggered towards Viper, but he just laughed. "Always so determined now aren't we" he mused and Alexander grimaced.

He was only 5 feet away from him and he turned to Jaden. "Get Truman for me, will ya Jay" and he pulled out a switch and clicked it.

Alexander always had a backup plan, however easy the mission. This one was that of a kamikaze. He had placed c4 that was covered by Kevlar around his body. If by any means he couldn't shoot his target, he would blow himself up with it.

And that's exactly what he did.

It was a month after that awful day. Jaden was standing in front of his grave. The body was not recoverable because he blew himself up, so only his ashes were placed in the grave. Jaden leaned his head over in respect for his good friend, his brother, his family. Life was different for Jaden because of him and he couldn't thank him enough for everything he had done for him.

Taking him in when he was younger and feeding him. For nurturing him, when he needed it the most. Keeping him safe from danger and teaching him how to protect himself and others around him.

Alexis walked up behind Jaden, wearing a black dress and had a sad look on her face. She had let Jaden have a moment of peace with him, but she had things to say to him. Jaden felt her approached and backed away a little.

She knelt in front of the grave and pulled her head down. "Thank you so much… for everything"

A tear left her eye and sank into the soil that surrounded the grave. Jaden approached her, this time with something else in his hands. He bent down to face Alexis and she turned her head To face him.

He gave her a warm smile, which made her stop feeling so sad. He started using it more frequently now and she loved him for it.

"I want to do this in front of him" Jaden said and pulled out a small box. Alexis's heart leapt and she immediately wrapped her arms around Jaden, before he could finish the saying.

"Yes I do" she said and planted her lips on his.

-Done- think of this as an intro for a more Jay-Lex oriented story. I know cheesy end, but it's not over now. Jaden's getting married and Truman is still out there. Expect a sequel soon and I hope you read my other stories too.
