"So this is what, the third time i've captured you this month?".
"Fourth, actually".
"How long do you think it'll take this time?".
"An hour to realize i'm gone and about two to fly over here and kick your ass"
Sam mason perched on the arm of the couch, feet resting on the coffee table in front of her, staring down the older gentleman across from her.
This was the fourth time this month she had been captured as ransom by Vlad Masters and this time was no different from the last.
to be fair he was an excellent host, she was allowed to wander several rooms in his mansion and he made sure she was comfortable before Danny would come and inevitably kick his ass three ways to sunday.
She'd even formed a bond with his cat, Maddie, even if her name unnerved her greatly.
it had become a sort of ritual with the two, witty banter was exchanged, a game of chess or two and she was left to her own devices.
"i'll go get the chess set".
yes, vlad masters was an excellent host, and although she wouldn't admit it, Sam enjoyed their weekly meet ups, even if they were forced.
