Chapter 128: Chapter 128

Nicholas was sitting on the floor, going through his emails on his phone. They were all from work, and he wasn’t in the mood for work; he was about to drop his phone beside him when he saw an unreadable email from an unknown source.

He frowned and opened it.

His email was heavily protected; not everyone could send him a message unless they were among his few verified people.

That was why he knew that whoever sent this message was trouble, and as he read the message, he confirmed his suspension.

"You can run, but you cannot hide. I’m coming to get you with your little doctor friend."

After reading the message, Nicholas’ eyes widened when he saw the barcode sign under it as the sender’s logo. He immediately sprang up from the floor and stared at the screen; he was mortified to see that the barcode guy had indeed pinned Ezra’s location under the message.

His heart was pumping in fear; it’d been five minutes since the email was sent, and he was just seeing it then; he wondered if they were almost here or already here.

He hurried inside Ezra’s room just at the moment his towel was leaving his waist.

"Hey, can you knock?" Ezra frowned and picked his pants from the bed, pulling them up his waist.

Nicholas was thankful he had his back to him; he didn’t want to see his soldier down there.

"We need to leave, Ezra, now," He walked over to the bed and threw Ezra’s shirt to him.

Ezra caught it but didn’t wear it, he raised a brow at Nicholas and asked, "And why do I have to leave with you?" He stared at Nicholas.

Nicholas was anxious, he walked over to Ezra and held his arm, "Because they’re coming for me, the barcode guys are coming for me. We need to leave!" He tugged Ezra’s arm but Ezra removed his hand from him, stepping back and sitting on the bed.

"Well, that’s your problem, Nick, you can leave; it’s not me they’re coming for; it’s you. And I don’t get involved in the business of my enemy. Sort yourself out, Nick," Ezra said, lowering his upper body to the bed.

Nicholas was frustrated, he went over to Ezra and placed his phone on his in front of Ezra’s face.

"You think it’s just me they’re after now? Look closer," He gritted out, tapping his feet anxiously on the floor.

Ezra narrowed his eyes as he wasn’t wearing his eyeglasses, but when he finally read the context of the message, he pushed Nicholas’ hand out of the way and sprang up from the bed.

"Why the fuck did you not say they are coming for me, too? I’m not even related to you; why am I included now?" Ezra hurried over to his drawer and picked up his phone and eyeglasses, fixing them on his face.

He dragged his shirt over his head and hurried out of the room, "Well, hurry up, unless you’re waiting to host them," Ezra muttered as he left the room.

Nicholas followed him, trailing behind him as they walked out of the door.

Ezra made sure to lock his door properly before walking over to his car.

"Why are you heading over to your car? Let’s take my-"

"Shut the fuck up, Nicholas. You can ride your car if you want to, make it easier for them to track you," Ezra had already entered his car as he replied.

Nicholas watched in alarm as Ezra started the car without waiting for him.

He hurried over to the car, pulled the front door open, and entered it.

"Just drive," He said, fastening his seat belt.

Ezra rolled his eyes and drove the car onto the road.

He sped on the road, his destination: Sebastian’s house. There was nowhere else he could go to at the moment that would be as safe as Sebastian’s house. He was sure whoever the barcode man was wouldn’t have the audacity to come close to Sebastian’s house.

They sped through the busy streets, weaving past cars and bikes and hoping the barcode man didn’t see them.

But it seemed like their prayers weren’t answered.

"Ezra, I think that car is following us," Nicholas tapped Ezra’s thigh as he stared at the side mirror.

Ezra glanced at the front mirror, and truly, there was a particular black-tinted car driving at a steady distance.

"Fuck, now what?" Ezra asked, stepping on the pedal.

"Just keep driving; we’re still out on the street, they can’t possibly hurt us, right?" Nicholas spoke while looking back at the black car.

"I hate this, it’s all your fault," Ezra muttered.

Nicholas sighed, "Keep your blame aside and drive, Doc," He stated.

Ezra didn’t say a word, he kept his eyes focused on the road and kept driving.

"We’re getting closer to Sebastian’s home," Ezra informed.

Nicholas nodded, "And it looks like they’re backing off," He replied.

Ezra sighed in relief but didn’t slow down the car. It might just be a trap to get them to relax so they could corner them.

Nicholas suddenly received another message on his phone, he wasted no time reading it when he saw it was from the same barcode man.

"I just got a text from them," he said to Ezra.

Ezra frowned, "What does it say,"

Nicholas rubbed his face before reading it out loud, "Say hi to Sebastian Orion. We’ll meet again, Nicholas." He stared at Ezra’s side profile, waiting for him to reply.

Ezra was speechless, "He doesn’t seem like he wants to hurt you, Nick," He stated seriously.

Nicholas furrowed his brows, "What do you mean? He’s a dangerous man, Doc; what do think he wants with me, a coffee date?" He questioned.

Ezra smiled, "Then he must have a bad choice in choosing his dates; who would date you?" He smirked.

"Ha-ha-ha...not funny," Nicholas replied dryly and relaxed back on the chair.

They soon reached Sebastian’s house and got out of the car, hurrying into his house.

Sebastian was busy speaking to Andre in his living room when he saw Ezra and Nicholas walking inside.

"What now, Doc? Why are you here with your patient...uninvited," Sebastian asked from the sofa, hiabfcae showing how bored he was already by their presence.

Ezra ignored him and sat on the sofa couch close to him, "Make yourself at home, Nick," He said to Nicholas, who had yet to sit.

Nicholas eyed Ezra before he sat beside Sebastian.

"Andre, ask Jasper and Jeremiah to make sure they return with him, or they know what is at stake," Sebastian ordered dismissively.

Andre bowed his head, "Yes, boss," He replied and turned away from them, walking out to inform the concerned people about the order.

"What’s happening? Who’s taking who?" Ezra questioned, pointing at Andre who was walking out of the house.

"The barcode man, no one has found him. I can’t play those games anymore. My men will have to accompany one of his men to my house, preferably, Baron," Sebastian informed.

"Baron?" Ezra asked in surprise.

"You know, that’s like the second in command, right," He leaned in Sebastian’s direction and asked him in a low tone.

"I don’t care if he’s their boss, Ezra. He’s Messing with me, with us. He needs to stop," Sebastian replied.

Nicholas frowned, "Ezra, can’t you tell him why we’re here? You’re more concerned about who he is kidnapping," He glared at Ezra.

"Yeah...about that. I think we might just be mistaking this barcode’s man agenda," Ezra started.

Sebastian frowned, "What do you mean?" He asked.

"Yeah...what do you mean?" Nicholas narrowed his eyes at Ezra.

"Just this morning, he sent Nicholas a text, don’t be shy, show him," Ezra pointed to Nicholas’ phone.

Nicholas gave Sebastian his phone, waiting for him to read it, "So what do you mean that we might be mistaken for his agenda?" Sebastian returned Nicholas’ phone to him.

"Maybe he’s just a shy guy who has a crush on Nicholas and is angry because he’s finding it hard to reach him. And he’s targeting you because, just maybe, he feels that you’re close to his crush and might be jealous, so that’s why he’s threatening you. In my opinion, I say we just give him what he wants, and he’s left us alone. What do you say?" Ezra explained seriously.

"Bastard," Nicholas cursed from his position.

Sebastian sighed in disappointment, he stood and faced Ezra, "We’ll know what he wants when they bring Baron over," He walked away from them.

"Hey, where is Zeno?" Nicholas questioned before Sebastian could disappear upstairs.

"Out with Ken," Sebastian replied and moved on.

"Oh," Nicholas murmured.

Ezra scoffed, "What is ’Oh?’ The earlier you get over Zeno, the earlier you find yourself a better partner," Ezra commented.

Nicholas turned toward him, "You’re so concerned about my heartbreak. Do you want to be that partner for me?" He asked in a calm voice.

Ezra removed his eyes, Nicholas, "I’d rather electricity my dick than date you, Nicholas. You know it," He spoke.

"Do I now?" Nicholas questioned.

Ezra ignored him and took out his phone, standing from the chair and walking out of the house.
