Steph
My eyes popped open and I laid there listening. Something was different. I got up and walked over to my balcony doors and looked around. Just then I saw lights turn off. Someone was on my land and they didn't want to be seen or caught. I turned around and slipped on my boots. I grabbed my robe as I walked out of the room.
[Jose,] I yelled as I was walking down the hallway.
[Mistress?] He asked when he walked out of his room.
[Grab your gun's,] I said as I walked down the stairs. He got dress and grabbed his weapons. He caught up with me fast enough. I throw open the front door and walked out.
[Guards,] He called out. I waved my hand. I didn't want the guards to do my job. I wanted to do it myself. [Mistress, you should let them.] I looked back him.
[They shouldn't have come.] I said to him. I walked the long way around over to where I saw the lights. We stood in the bushes and looked down the back road to where there was a jeep. I held out my hand and Hector handed over a gun.
[I was clear, wasn't I?]
[They might not care, go and when you give the call the guards will move in.] I checked the gun and nodded. I walked forward and headed to the jeep, I stayed hidden the whole time. I looked in the jeep and saw who was there. So, they might not be here to take me back. I moved out of the brush and walked over to the jeep. I cocked the gun and laid it on Lester's forehead.
[You are trespassing.] I said in a cold voice. They all looked at me.
[It seems we're lost,] Lester said to me. I looked in the jeep and saw their bags. I raised my hand and waved my guards in.
[Lost or not, your in the wrong place. Trespassing here is against the law and it's punishable by death.] My guards moved around the jeep. I smiled at them. [Take them to the dungeon.] I told everyone. I turned around and walked away.
[Jose make sure they end up where they should, Oscar.] The kid moved out of the shadows and looked at me. I just kept on walking. He got the message and showed up at my side and walked back with me.
[You really can't be serious in putting them in there.] He asked me.
[They shouldn't have come.] I walked the fast way back to the house and walked throw the open doors. Kid made a sound when he finely saw what I was really wearing. I walked into the study and sat down. He brought over a drink and gave it to me.
[But the dungeon?] He asked me. I looked up at him and he took a step back.
[They were warned, they should have listened to what was said. Now go find Jose.] He nodded and walked away. I folded my legs looking at the wall thinking. I smiled at what I planned. Jose walked in and shut the doors.
[A free show isn't wise.] I waved it away and pointed to a chair. He sat down looking at me waiting.
[You have always been good at following my led. Could you do it again?] He nodded and looked at me waiting for what I was up to. [They are put away?] He nodded again. I got up and walked away. He was following me. We walked throw the house and down to the dungeon. There were a few guards standing around. I walked down to their cells and looked at them while I took a drink.
[Should we kill them now or wait till dawn?] I asked Hector.
[Play with your pray, you enjoy that more.] I nodded and tapped my ring against my glass.
[Yes, let's play with them.] A few guards laughed at that. I looked over at them. They stood up straight and shut their mouths. I waved a set of guards over. [Him, we'll start him him.] They nodded and Hector opened the door for me. He raised an eye brow at me. I turned on my heal and walked away.
I didn't get far when I heard the fighting. So, they wanted to do this the hard way. I turned around again and headed back to the cell. Hector opened the door for me. I grabbed bobby's arm and flipped him around and dropped him to the ground. Hector pasted me the gun and I put it against his head looking at Lester.
[You have came to the wrong place if you think you have any chance to make it out of here or try and stop anything that's going to happen at my orders. Stand back or he will die right here and now.] Lester looked at Bobby really fast and took a setback. He raised his hands. I looked over at Danger and he took a step back also. The guards grabbed Ricker and walked out with him.
[See now you all will live to see another day, learn to listen.] I kicked Bobby and walked out. Hector shut the door and followed behind me. The guards were waiting outside with Ricker. I smiled and moved right in front of him.
[Now we're going to have a little fun. To do this you have to listen very closely and do everything I saw. Do you understand?] I said as I ran my hand down his neck. He was frozen in plane and my lips were still against his ear. He nodded.
[Scream.] I said as I raised my gun in the air. I pulled back and he screamed as I shoot. He was looking at me and didn't understand.
[Leave us.] The guards let go and walked back inside. I looked over to Hector and he folded his arms. I smiled at him. [I thought you were smart enough not to come Ricker?] He folded his arms also.
[They asked me to come with them. I didn't want to come as much as you don't want me here.] I handed the gun back to Hector.
[I might not want you here, but now you're here you're not leaving. Tomorrow we will talk. He's yours to do with as you wish.] I told Hector and walked away.
[No] He said to me. I didn't stop and kept on walking. I walked in the back door and headed up to my room. I slipped out of my boots and robe. I laid down in bed and pulled my sheets up. I was about to drift to sleep when my doors opened. I looked over and saw Hector there and Ricker following him.
[Why will you let him live?] He asked me.
[Because the only reason he came was because of you. That is his only reason for being here. Plus, we could use him. Now I'm going to sleep so leave.] He walked over to the bed and kissed my head.
[Are you sure.] I nodded and he walked away with Ricker following him. The doors were shut quietly and I differed to sleep.
Lester
I moved over and helped Bobby up. He looked at me then down to the door. It was shut and everything was quiet. I jumped when I heard the scream and a gun going off. I looked at Bobby and he looked back at me. The guards laughed, every one of them laughed at the death of Ricker.
[She wasn't in the playing mood anyone.] The closest guard said. They checked the door and left. Every guard left us alone here in the dungeon.
[Fighting isn't wise,] A voice called out to us.
[Should we have let her take him?] Danger asked.
[He would have lived longer, maybe in pain but he would have lived longer.] I knew that voice and looked around.
[You let her kill him.] Kid walked out of the shadows and over to the cell. He leaned against the bars and looked at us.
[No one has control over her, Jose doesn't even have any control. Fitting pissed her off even more and you got him killed. She normal likes to play with her pray, a few days at less.] He pointed down the cells. [They won't be back till morning. But if you plan on leaving I wouldn't. She has some ability to know when people are where they shouldn't be.]
[You want us to sit here and wait for our deaths?] He looked away and pushed off the bars. Then he looked back at us.
[Her bit isn't worse than her bark. She might not kill you.] He just walked away. I moved over to the bars.
[Why have you stayed then?] I yelled after him. He didn't stop walking.
[Because I followed orders. Maybe you should have also. You shouldn't have came, she won't leave with you.] He opened the door and it was closed behind him. I looked over at Bobby and Danger.
"This isn't going as planned." I said to them.
"She's nothing like she was when I meet her." Danger said.
"I think everything has gone to her head. We need to get throw to her. But she might not be the same anymore." He sat down and laid back against the wall. I moved over to him and laid my head against his forehead. He looked at me.
"We'll try." I moved over next to him and sat down also. Danger came and sat down. He pulled off his jacket and used it for a pillow. "We'll get throw to her." I told Bobby. He wasn't happy about losing her in the first place. When Ranger wouldn't let, us come to her he hasn't been the same.
But it came to a point that we had to come anyways. This is what happens when we try and bring her back. Tank and Ranger are going to be pissed off when they find out were gone. I looked around and let out a breath. Bobby lay against me and closed his eyes. I couldn't fall asleep. I just looked around waiting for what was going to happen.
I didn't know how long it was when a chair showed up in front of the cell. Then Steph sat down on the chair and took a drink of coffee. She looked us over and looked me in the eyes. She was still there. She was still the same person. She took another drink and was just watching me. Then held out her hand and our passports showed up.
She opened them and read then over. Then looked behind her. I smiled at what she was reading. She looked back at me. She took another drink, folded her legs and just looked at me. She was going to wait. When I opened my mouth, she held up her finger and I shut my mouth. She was going to wait till everyone was awake.
"Angela." A man in a business suit came down the stairs and walked over to her with a huff. "Did you forget we had a business meeting this morning?] He asked her. She waved him away. When he didn't leave, she handed him her cup.
[I remember and it will wait. Go.] And with a look he walked away. But that got everyone coming around. Bobby saw her and sat up. Danger just looked at her and closed his eyes again.
[Peter my business will only wait so long, you sleep can wait.] He pulled the hood of his jacket over his head. She smiled at that action. [Then I'll come back.] She stood up and put her arms behind her back. [Maybe] She walked away. Hector moved out of the shadows and shook his head at us.
[He didn't send us.] Danger called after her.
[I know, that's why your still alive. For now,] Hector moved to follow her.
[How do you know?] Danger asked her.
[So, your done sleeping and ready to talk.] She asked and looked back at us.
[How did you know?] He asked her again.
[Peter I think you forget how this dance works. I don't have to answer anything you ask me. You are in my cell.] Hector moved in front of her and opened the door. They were gone before he could say anything. He looked around and saw the chair was still there.
[I think I like her better like this. But your right Bobby she might not be able to come back to how she was.] I just smiled. She hasn't changed at all. Still putting on an act. I didn't know how long we sat there waiting when the doors opened again and she was back. With the light from outside we got to see what she was really wearing.
She was in all black, and if I had to guess everything was leather. Then on top of everything she was wearing a floor length jacket. It flowed with her and she was beautiful. She walked down the stairs and sat down in the chair. Danger looked over to her. She just folded her legs and leaned against the arm rest looking at us.
[Business was short.] She waved it away.
[Men end up seeing things my way. It's a wonder men lasted this long in this world without a woman just taking over and doing their job for them and doing it better.] He smiled at her.
[And if they don't?] She tapped her ring against the chair.
[Then I move on to someone who can do what I want. Now I believe it's time for you to tell me why you are here.]
[We took a wrong turn somewhere.] I told her. She looked at me and everyone was quiet.
[You took a wrong turn somewhere from Trenton to here? That's hard to believe, now let's try again without lying this time.]
[Your missed Angela.] Bobby said to her. She looked at him thinking about what he said. [We missed you.] She rolled her eyes.
[Coming here wasn't the best chose, because you'll never leave now. They piece you'll have to pay for letting your heart get in the way of your mind.] She stood up and pushed her jacket back and folded her arms behind her back. [You should have listened to him when he ordered you to stay.] She turned and walked away.
[How did you know?] Danger asked her again.
[I didn't get to where I was from behind naive, look at who came with you and you already have your answer.] Hector didn't move.
[Maybe your piece was too high.] Danger said to her. Hector shook his head at us. That wasn't the smartest thing to say. She laughed at us.
[What piece and for what.]
[Killing the one's, you love.]
[I believe your grapping for anything and everything. Clearly you know nothing about me.] She looked back at me us.
[Your heartless.] He told her. She smiled and nodded to him.
[Very good observation, I am heartless.] She turned around and glided back to us. Stood in front of the cell. [What dose a heart do for anyone, beside to be a target to get killed. It gets in the way and it makes life messy. Look at what yours did for you. You're in a fore country in a cell waiting to die.]
[Has living in the spot light really changed you that much? I remember when you cared about everyone and everything. Now all you care about is yourself. You're a heartless bitch, you should be left here.] He told her.
[Finely someone grasp what I want. I want to be left alone, I want to be left here and you fucking right I'm heartless. You don't get to be who I am by not being heartless.] She had a blank face and her voice had an edge to it.
[How did you know Ranger didn't send us Angela?] I asked her finely. Her eyes cut over to me and she looked at me thinking about answering. She flipped her coat back and sat down.
[For one Tank isn't here. He wouldn't send a party for me without Tank, because Tank would be his eyes and ears. Two your ID's tell me you came for yourself and not for your boss. Third Four people wouldn't be a party to send to get me to come home in anyone's mind. You could have sent the whole team and still I would beat you. Last I have ears and eyes within the company. Two times Ranger and Tank have tried to come and get me, I haven't been here. They can't find the leak.] She smiled at the thought and looked at me waiting to see if I had anything else I wanted to ask.
[Did you send Ricker home?] She leaned against the arm rest and smiled at me.
[Why would I do that, it's not the right time to let some people know just where you are and that you failed. Soon I might, or leave him where he lays.] She didn't kill him. I couldn't believe she played us.
[Heartless bitch.] Danger said again.
[Peter I believe we've been throw this already, I wonder what you would really think about me if you knew everything about me. Sham you won't live to see anything but these walls. It really is a pity, the world losing men who look like you three. But laws are law's and you broke mine.] She stood up and looked behind her. Hector moved forward.
[I wonder what you would say if we decide not to leave?] I asked, Bobby was getting hurt every time she walked away. She shoots me a look.
[Why?]
[You know we came here against Ranger's orders. You know we came here because we missed you our friend. What if we came to be with you not to take you home?] She looked right at Hector and looked lost. Finely I was breaking apart her shell. [If you can't beat them join them?] She sat back down and put her head in her hands.
[Why?]
[Because we missed you.] Bobby said. He was catching up. She looked at Danger. [He had contacts we needed to get here without being noticed.] She folded her arms and leaned back.
[Should have left him and came the rest of the way yourself. I don't need any more men.]
[You don't need men that both of you can trust.] I asked her. She laughed.
[I don't trust you enough to be willing to put you anywhere on my staff. Remember where you came from.]
[But here we are.] I told her. She looked us over and I knew she was thinking about it. [You said it yourself, you can't send us back. Let us join you and prove that we can be trusted. Clearly you trust the kid, he works under Ranger.] She waved it away.
[Kid is only here for Ricker. The thought is plausible. But if it's wise I don't have that answer.] She looked over to Hector, he meets her eyes.
[You could?] She nodded.
[It would be faster.] He smiled at her.
[Then what?]
[That is a very good question. Maybe nothing.] He looked her face over.
[You would leak money.] She waved it away.
[We have enough to live on for many lives over.] He nodded again. She got up and walked away. [Risky, pushing and changing everything around. Very risky.] Hector followed her this time. She pushed the doors open and he followed her away. The doors were closed behind them.
"Anyone have any ideas to what they were talking about?" Danger asked us.
"There planning something," I told them and looked at Bobby. He was still upset and worried. I smiled and laid my head back. It was time I could get some sleep.
