The Bad Batch: A Heart-breaking Secret - Modern AU(Hunter x Crosshair) Complete!

Chapter 36

"I couldn't care less about my reputation or my life! I just want Cody found and safe in my arms!" Obi-wan roared out in anger. He threw his hands up in the air, slamming a fist on the nearby table. Jesse and Wolffe winced as they watched Kix flinch, the doctor was still a bit jumpy and trying to recover from years of trauma.

"Okay, switch off the mics and turn off the camera's and I will explain why I sent the Elite Squad on a wild goose chase" Crosshair spoke up, surprising them all. 

"You what!" Echo shouted at the marksman who could only smile. 

Wolffe opened the door gesturing for them to come with him. All of them moved even the still handcuffed brothers which Rex couldn't help but chuckle at Fox's look, the middle brother watched as Kix removed his own and Howzers with Jesse's stolen key. The officer glared at his husband while Rex moved to help Fox when he found the cuffs on his own wrists. Wolffe could only chuckle helping his baby brother out of the cuffs while Rex just cursed out Fox.

Wolffe smirked, leading them to a room he kept hidden for a reason. It was a command room, Crosshair made himself comfortable on the bench beside a pistol that was in glass. Echo stood beside him to keep a strict eye on him. To be honest, Crosshair was the most dangerous of them all in the room. Howzer moved over to the computers to sit while Wolffe leaned on the chair beside him. Kix and Jesse moved to take the sofa, Jesse pulled his partner closer leaving Obi-wan and Rex to take the spare chairs. The door to the room locked and was secured. 

"Woah! Wolffe this is enough security to keep a nuclear warhead in here" Rex exclaimed, the older brother could only nod looking in the direction of Crosshair who was playing with a rubix cube Echo had given him. 

"Are you going to tell us or do we have to…" 

Crosshair could only smile, "Cody has been taken by Jango Fett, Boba Fett and Fennec Shand". 

Wolffe took a step forward, tightening his grip on Howzer who looked up at him in concern.

"Are you sure?" Wolffe questioned, nerves flew up and down his body. 

"Wolffe, what's the matter?" Rex asked, looking over at Jesse who had climbed to his feet.

"Is this proof enough?" Crosshair said, bringing up an image on his phone. Obi-wan could only gasp, Cody was hanging from the wall on chains while Boba Fett took a selfie with Jango and Fennec in the background. 

Wolffe stumbled into Howzer who grabbed him, Rex and Jesse were instantly by their brother's side. The older brother was struggling to come to terms.

"Wolffe, speak to us. What's the matter?" Jesse asked, rubbing a hand on his brother's back.

"I thought they were dead. They should be dead!" Wolffe whispered looking at Howzer who turned his head over to Fox, the man shaking his head.

"You TOLD Me! They were DEAD!" Wolffe roared at Howzer who took a step backwards into the comfort of his own brothers.

"Wolffe?" Obi-wan spoke up from where he was fighting tears. A video came through, Echo watched as the monitor showed Anakin panicking in a chair, he was tied to it and yelling, "Get away from him! Get away from my dad! Cody! Wake up!". They all watched as Cody was tasered awake, the man slumping in pain but holding his head high, defending his adopted son. Fennec could only laugh, turning to the camera, "This is on you, 99" as the video switched off. Echo gasped as lost his trace on a possible location. 

"Jango is my father and Boba is younger than Rex. I never told you two the truth to why they left" Wolffe said through gritted teeth avoiding Howzers look of comfort. Jesse and Rex shared a look.
