Eliot laid the women in bed. She had the features and build of a porcelain doll, but once in his arms he could feel that she was solid muscle. Dark purple bruises had started to develop on her neck, along her jaw line, and on her arm. Eliot clenched his jaw, how dare anyone hurt this beautiful doll!
Elliot walked out of the room, "Haridson, any word on when everyone will be here?"
"Nate & Sophie are downstairs. Parker is already here, sort of! She's on the roof, she's on her way down!"
Elliot didn't want to invade the women's privacy, but if she didn't wake up soon, he'd have to go thru her purse to find out who she was.
Mackenzie slowly regained conciseness. She opened her eyes to slits and investigated the room.
No identifying pictures or decorations. She could smell a man's cologne, it was spicy. It was a pleasant smell. She heard two male voices outside the room. The last memory she had was of Tobias dragging her into the alley way. Demanding to know who she was meeting, telling her it didn't matter that she wasn't going to make it. She remembered some fighting back, and Tobias dropping her on the ground. Then some big guy with blue eyes picked her up, probably one of Tobias' goons.
Sitting up slowly Mack knew she may only had a minute to steady herself before Goliath came back to finish the job that Tobias started. Slowly she stood up and looked around for a weapon. Great, nothing! Guess I've got to do this the hard way. On unsteady legs Mack tip toed to the door. Slowly it opened, and Goliath walked in. He looked toward the bed expecting to see Mack laying there.
She threw a punch and hit him square in the jaw. Goliath was stunned. Before he could regain his composure she jabbed him in the chin. Goliath regained his faculties quickly and wrapped his tree trunk arms around Mack's arms pinning them to her side.
"Stopped it! I'm not going to hurt you! If I let you go do you promise to stop hitting me?" growled Goliath
Mack hissed out "Yes!"
Mack turned around and delivered a swift kick to his private region and attempted to run. To her surprise it didn't even phase Goliath. He grabbed Mack's arms pushed her on the bed and laid on top of her.
"You promised not to hit me!"
"I didn't hit you I kicked you!"
Mack continued to wiggle to get Goliath off her and get away. She wasn't convinced that Goliath wasn't going to do her bodily harm.
"Let's try this again. My name is Eliot Spencer. I'm not going to hurt you. I saved you from a man hurting you outside Mc Rory's bar! Now who are you? And who was that man? Why was he hurting you?"
"Hardison, what's going on? You said Eliot had a job for us? Where is he?" asked Nate
"He carried some red head into the guest room about a half a hour ago! From the sounds of it she woke up. He didn't even shut the door. That's nasty!"
Nate got up and walked toward the guest room.
"Eliot, get off my sister!"
