Chapter 425 JAYDEN
Jayden cursed himself for being caught in a situation like this, he looked to his left side and found Pyro in a much worse condition. His head bodyguard was gasping for air. Blood was pouring from the side of his head as he had his eyes closed.
The sound of his heavy breathing was the only indication that the man was still alive.
"Hey, you can\'t just die," Jayden kicked Pyro in the leg, because that was the only way to reach the man.
Now the two of them were tied up in an old warehouse which was located quite far from the residents\' residences and not only that, their assailants left them both in quite a pathetic condition, after they were satisfied with beating both of them.
"I\'m not dead," Pyro grumbled. His voice was hoarse, as if saying that one short sentence alone had consumed his remaining strength. "It\'s because of you that we ended up in this situation."
Jayden grimaced, he had to admit that he was the one who had been looking for trouble to make things difficult for both of them.
"I just wanted to know," Jayden said, shrugging his shoulders, but then he regretted what he did because his shoulder hurt. He could even feel the bone shifting. tsk!
"Your curiosity can be a problem for you," Pyro said, too tired to scold the young man before him.
Jayden did inherit his mother\'s inquisitive and sometimes reckless nature, but at other times, he seemed like the calculating and considerate Ramon.
"Don\'t worry, help will come soon, I\'m not that reckless to get caught without reckoning," Jayden said in a fairly calm voice. And immediately, he could imagine Pyro rolling his eyes at that, not at all believing what he was saying, to him. Jayden was too unpredictable.
"Yeah, hope the help comes before I bleed to death." Pyro leaned back, leaning against the cold wall behind his back. With his hands and feet tied, he had to listen to Jayden\'s ramblings in front of him.
"Don\'t die yet, my mother will be angry if you die." Jayden imagined his mother\'s anger when she found out he was in trouble again. "At least, wait until we\'re somewhere safe and you explain that it\'s not entirely my fault."
"You are truly unbelievable," Pyro muttered, clicking his tongue. "What made you think that I would defend you in front of Hailee?"
"Because you love me like your own child," Jayden said calmly, feeling very sure that Pyro would agree with him on this.
"No thanks, I have a child of my own to care for," Pyro groaned in pain. But by talking to Jayden, he was able to keep himself awake. "I don\'t want to have a child like you anyway, you\'re troublesome."
"I\'m not troublesome, I am just a little bit adventurous." Jayden corrected Pyro\'s words.
Jayden was deliberately engaging Pyro in a conversation so as to keep him awake. Because in a situation like this, losing consciousness would be fatal.
"Where did you have a child from? You never married," Jayden pointed out.
"I\'m not married," Pyro admitted.
"I never saw your daughter."
"I don\'t want you to see my daughter," Pyro said. His voice was now shaking while his body was cold. Looks like Jayden\'s method is no longer effective.
"Tsk! You are so damn petty," Jayden mumbled, his eyes darting around, but this old building was just an old abandoned barn, devoid of any secrets. "They\'re hiding something in this place," Jayden said.
"There aren\'t any secrets here." This time Pyro\'s voice sounded more like a whisper.
And then silence enveloped them both again, making Jayden even more nervous. The help should have arrived by now, but where were they?
"Pyro," Jayden called.
No response from Pyro.
Jayden kicked his leg again. "Pyro!" This time, his voice was louder than before.
There was still no answer from the middle-aged man.
Pyro should have retired last year and was enjoying his days in peace, but he didn\'t seem to like that kind of life. So, six months ago he came back to Jayden and offered to be his head bodyguard.
Of course Jayden immediately agreed to that, because he had known Pyro before he could even remember, it was this man who taught him to use various weapons. Therefore, even though his mother did not approve of it, Jayden welcomed Pyro\'s return with a wide smile.
Pyro was like an older brother to his mother, therefore, Hailee wanted Pyro to enjoy his old age better.
But, if tonight Jayden really lost Pyro because of his stupidity, then he would not forgive himself for that stupidity.
"Pyro! Hey! Don\'t die yet, mama can kill me if you die on me!" Jayden exclaimed. "Sh*t!" he cursed angrily.
At first, Jayden just wanted to wait for help to arrive, but it seemed like the situation was getting out of hand.
Jayden then dropped to his side and squirmed on the cold floor, trying to move his handcuffs behind him toward the front. Pyro had taught him this trick and he was quite proficient now.
And after he brought his hands to his front, Jayden used a small iron bar to open the handcuffs on his own hands.
This trick was quite difficult to do in a position like this, but not impossible.
It took Jayden about five minutes to free himself from the damn handcuffs and without wasting any more time, he rushed over to Pyro who had slumped limply.
"Sh*t!" Jayden cursed again, because of the lack of lighting in this room, Jayden had a hard time seeing how badly injured Pyro was. Because during the whole conversation, he didn\'t say anything.
It was only after taking a closer look that Jayden realized that Pyro\'s injuries were quite serious.
He then took off his shirt and wrapped it around the man\'s waist, hoping to stop the blood that was constantly flowing from his stomach.
"Don\'t die on me," Jayden muttered, now all the carefree vibes that he exuded earlier had disappeared.
He looked calm enough, but calculative.
