Hey everyone! I took some time and got away from everything, and i'm feeling a ton better. Thank you to everyone who left a comment, it means the whole world to me, and i'm ready to crank out a couple chapters in the next couple days. So without further ado, chapter 4!

''Ahhhhh.'' What the fuck happened last night?
Was he dreaming? Or was it real? As he checked his heavily tattooed chest, he knew he wasn't dreaming. It was very evident that he had been pushed to the ground last night, indicating the blood and red marks. Why did that girl let him up? Wait, who even were those people? They weren't police or SWAT, they were all wearing different uniforms. Hitmen? Really shitty hitmen? Really, really shitty hitmen? Well, he had to get out of here. but to leave he needed a car. And he definitely had one in mind.

''Oi, we saw him. We almost had him too. But Aria here thought he was still stunned, he got up and ran.'' Mike stated, pointing an accusatory glare at Aria, who was clearly embarrassed that he had gotten away so fast.
''I just didn't know what to do. I didn't want to hurt him. And he was so fast. One second there, another gone. I know it is unacceptable. it will not happen again.''
''Aria, this is not okay. we needed him. He can be anywhere now.'' Six stated. '' You are to go find him now. No one goes back to hereford until he is found. Am i clear?''
"Six yes Six!''
"dismissed."
"Aria, a moment, privately?'' Asked Eliza?
''Yes''
As the two female operators began the walk back to Eliza's room, Aria spoke.
"What is this about?''
''You will see.''
As Aria entered the room, Eliza locked the door behind her.
''Sit on the bed, honey. We need to talk about our suspect. So why did you let him up so easily? You should have known better.''
''I...uhh..well I mean i would have fel-'' Aria stammered painfully, before she was cut off. '' Cut the bullshit. I want to know why you let him up, and I want a straight answer.''
''When i was on his back and he tilted his head so he could see me, the only thing i saw in his eyes was fear. Complete and total fear of what laid ahead of him. Which makes sense. if 5 random people started chasing you through the streets, you would probably run too. But his eyes... they were magnificent. i don't know what it was about them, but they captured me. And I-I''
'' Froze?'' Eliza suggested. The same thing happened in basic training, with her and Jordan. Only this was quite a bit more concerning.
'' Yeah. I just felt this kind of sympathy. Going through alot as a child too, I knew what he had been through was 10 times worse. And i felt so bad for holding him there, i just...just let him go.''
''I understand Aria. But right now I need you to be completely honest with me. Did you feel ANY attraction at all towards him? Yes or no? I understand it can be a natural reflex, but I need to know.''
''I...um...uh.'' Aria responded, not knowing what to think.
''No. I didn't''
"Are you one-hundred percent sure?''
''Yeah.''
''Okay. Now go get some rest.''
Ok.
As Aria began the short walk back to her room, she began questioning herself. Was she being honest with herself? Yeah, she was going to be fine. But right now, she needed sleep. As she crawled into bed, her mind pondered. what if, it was really possible to get to know him? The mystery man?
Hey- Another chapter coming out tomorrow, sorry for the shorter one.
