this is why I don't trust the police

" Because I could watch you for a single minute and find a thousand things that I love about you "

"Don't you two move, don't you two freakin move!" One of the two cops yelled. "Interlock your fingers behind your head and get on your knees. On your knees! Do it, now!"

"Don't you two move, I'll put a bullet in both of you! Last chance, asshole," The same cop shouted. "I will not hesitate to put you down, on your knees, do it!"

"Keep your eyes on him," The other cop said. "All right, nice and slow."

Lex watched as Matthew did just that, he wasn't sure if 'follow the cops' orders' was the plan but, Lex just followed what Matthew did, unsure of what else to. He wasn't quiet used to having a partner yet. Lex slowly got on his knees and interlocked his fingers behind his head.

"Got him?"

"Yeah, yeah."

One of the policemen cuff Matthew and then other cuffs Lex, Lex grinned his teeth together, he wanted to put a bullet in this guys skull.

"No killing when we're working together though."

"What about this asshole," One asked, clearly talking about the Russians.

"Take care of him like we were told," The other responded. No witnesses."

Oh fuck no, Valdimir was their only shot at getting to Fisk.

Matthew was clearly thinking the same thing as he jumped up and starting attacking the cop that put him in hand cuffs.

Lex simply broke the flimsy chain that kept the hand cuffs together and whipped around, aggressively punching the cop that cuffed him. The police officer fell onto the pavement, unconscious.

"Weakling," Lex quietly sneered.

Lex grabs the keys from the cop and walks over to Matthew, who knock 'his' cop as well.

Lex gently grabbed Matthew's hands, Lex's heart thudded slightly at the contact, god he fell so quickly. He unlocked the cuffs, they clattered onto the ground.

"Thanks," Matthew muttered, pretending not to notice Lex's increased heart rate as it happened a lot.

Lex unlocked his own broken hand cuffs, "Sure."

"How bad are you hurt?" Matthew asked Vladimir.

Vladimir responded in Russian and Matthew responded to that by kicking him.

Lex was going to translate Vladimir but, "Central, fifteen Eddie! Shots fired, shots fired! Three suspects on foot!"

"Let's go," Lex spoke up.

Matthew nodded and slung Vladimir over his shoulder, the three disappeared into the night.

——

Matthew, Lex, and Vladimir took refuge in an abandoned building, it was dusty and dirty, clearly not used in a while and nobody would walk in on them. Good thing, 'cause Lex knew Vladimir was an arsehole that Lex wanted to beat.
