Chapter Eight
We jogged out of the train. Stark was decked out in a classic rich person disguise.
"Well, here we are. Max Snyder's apartment complex he lives on the fifth floor." I stated and ran into the building.
We rode the elevator up. I patted my holster where my taser sat.
"You can do this Sam, I know you can." Stark told me with a smile. I smiled.
We stood at the front door. I glared at Stark. "Stand back." Stark took three steps back. I kicked at the dead bolt and the door shattered open.
"On my six." I told him. He nodded and got behind me. I looked in to down the hallway. And turned the corner where Stark took the spare bedroom. I took the master bedroom where Max stood with his back toward me. He heard the door swing open and whirled around, I pulled the trigger and Max dropped to the ground.
"Sam!" Liz smiled when she saw me. I ran and cut her bonds.
"Never let me do that to you again." I told her. She chuckled and smiled
"Dually noted." I smiled and hugged her a bit more. I walked out and found Stark in the living room.
"You okay Liz?" he asked. She nodded.
I smiled. "Thanks Stark, I owe you the world." I told him as Liz and I ran out.
"You already owe me your life; the world ain't much of a step up." He called back at us. Liz laughed as we ran into the elevator.
"Stark seems to like you." she singsonged at me.
"Shut up, he does that every girl he wants to whoo." I told her. She scoffed her famous, Oh please.
"Denial..." she muttered. I rolled my eyes.
"I'm not in denial, I'm just sensible." I told her as straight faced as I could.
We got back to the apartment and I sentenced her to the couch. "You are staying there. I'm gonna go to the theater and tell Williams everything is okay." She nodded and I grabbed my phone.
"Also, call Clint." I told her.
"But, I don't have his number." then her phone vibrated with a text from me. "You have it now, and if you don't, I will tape the phone to your ear." I told her before I left for the theater.
"Williams?" I called when I got there. The older man comes out from behind the curtain.
"Sam, where's Liz?" Darren asked with concern in his voice. It was the joke of the cast that the leading male had a crush on the starlet and she didn't have the slightest clue.
"She's just sick, D." I called to him on stage. He accepted the lie. Williams spoke up. "Sam, do tell Liz we hope to see her at practice tomorrow. I bowed. "Will do Williams." I walked out onto the streets when I called Clint.
"Hey Sam, what can I do for you?" he responded.
"Clint, can I ask a favor?" I asked cautiously.
"Sure, what do ya need?" he told me.
"Can you drive Liz home from the theater for the next few days?"
"Of course. Totally, when do I start?'
"Can you do tomorrow at six?" I asked.
"Yeah, listen Sam, I gotta go. I'll call ya later."
"Wait, have you gotten a call from Liz?" I asked before he hung up.
"No... Should I have?" I rolled my eyes.
"Yes." and then hung up. "Liz..." I growled.
I burst into the apartment with scotch tape in one hand.
"Elizabeth Bennett!" I called.
"What!?" she responded. I picked up her phone and typed Clint's number into it and then stuck it to her ear with the help of the tape. I then left the room and locked myself in the bathroom. I must assume they talked for a good few minutes. But then she started pounding on the door. "SAM ALLYSON MASON OPEN THE GOD DAMN DOOR!" I laughed.
"Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin." I laughed.
"I'm serious Sam!" She shrieked.
"I am too!" I called back. "You swear not to kill me if I open the door?" I cautioned.
"I make no such promises." She called back. I stepped very carefully out of the bathroom. "What the living hell Sam?"
I rolled my eyes. "Because you promised me to call Clint and you didn't. So I carried out my threat of taping your phone to your ear."
"Whatever Sam." Liz called as I was walking out of the room.
"Oh and Clint's picking you up from the theater for some time." I called.
"WHAT!?" she yelled at me. "Sam Mason, I'm going to kill you."
"Please don't, I'd like to live until my 25 birthday." I called back to her. I laughed and crashed in my room.
A/N: I'd like to thank for shipping Tam as hard as we (Luna and I) do, you receive hugs.
