Shorter never meant to get caught up the way he did. He just wanted a different life away from all the gang activities and that so happened to be with Y/N. What happens when Y/N finally finds out? How was such a man suited for the things he did?
Typ...
You scrolled through Instagram as you lazily laid in bed. It had only been a few days since Shorter left, but you were already sick to your stomach. The sheer thought of him never coming back to you was tearing you apart. You hadn't physically gone to work instead you turned in all you needed from home and contacted your team via Groupme.

At least Aubrey is having fun
You rolled your eyes and scrolled on to find more pictures of the new couple.
That's enough IG today Y/N
You whined and decided you'd at least take a shower today and move to the couch instead. After not showering since Shorter left the shower you were having now felt like heaven. The warm water softly beating against your tense muscles was exactly what you needed. Your mind was blank as you hummed being at peace for once this entire week. After you finished brushing your hair you moved to the couch and began braiding it. Your phone buzzed multiple times making you groan thinking it was work. You looked only to see messages from Aubrey and you definitely wished it was work related. Smacking your teeth you swiped the messages from your screen and set your device back down.
You're gonna die alone a sad ass bitch
Your head fell onto the arm rest of the couch making a shirt fall onto you. You picked it up curiously only to notice that it belonged to Shorter. Tears threatened to spill from your eyes once again, yet it seemed you had nothing left to actual cry. Instead you choked on tearless sobs before falling asleep once again clutching Shorter's shirt.
Meanwhile Shorter had made it back from California a week later. He still spoke nothing of his arrival to you as the situation he was in was still ongoing. Shorter had good reason not to tell you as he wanted to make sure you weren't apart of anything happening.
The situation was growing sticky and he found himself in a bit of a bind. His vision was blurry as he felt bodies on either side of him hoisting him up. The voices were unfamiliar, but he could hear someone struggling behind him. The yelling made his head pound making it hard for him to figure out who it was from. The cries could be heard getting farther away as he heard choked Japanese.
Eiji.
Ash would be walking right into that one and Shorter was absolutely useless at the moment. If whoever had him didn't kill him first Ash surely would. This was it he was dying either way and might as well go out now.
Y/N...
Images of you swirled through Shorter's mind. A tear fell as the thought of you attending his funeral came to mind. Adrenaline to get out of the situation hit him like a ton of bricks. His vision still feeling fuzzy he used brute force to get out of the grasp of his captures. Shorter stood to his feet he staggered to the left his head hung low trying to regain himself.
"This guys basically out of hit lets just grab him and go." One of the men says.
No
Shorter lifts his head the pounding still continuing, but he had felt worse. He knew his men were scattered all throughout the building along with Ash and his. Shorter landed a bunch on the first guy he could see straight then wasted no time taking out the other. There was no way he'd be able to navigate the building, but he had to get to Eiji while Ash took care of his other business.
The first set of cameras were already shattered and a few men lay on the ground. Their throats had been slashed and Shorter new exactly who had done it. He smiled to himself and followed the trail of bodies. He was led to a room where two voices could be heard. It was Dino and what sound to be Yut-Lung. Eiji was definetly in there, but Dino seemed to be leaving for Ash.
What happened next was a bit of a blur all Shorter knew is that he ended up in the room with Eiji and Yut-Lung. A bullet wound and many voices screaming as they faded in and out.
Y/N, thank you
More tears streamed down his face. The look of horror and panic settled into everyone around. Everything was moving slowly and it was black the voices he heard once before faded back out and took longer to come back in.
