Ruby drop the apple, watching as it hit the tile and rolled towards Roman. He picked it up and started tossing it in the air. Ruby couldn't help but follow the motion of the apple with her eyes. Roman never failed to capture the apple when gravity pulled it back down to the earth.
"So Red, how'd you manage to sneak this apple in here?" He asked the same question every time. It was always the same story she told.
"You know the story," Ruby couldn't help but roll her eyes "I told them I wanted to eat in front of you and watch you suffer from starvation… which we both know isn't true." The grown man laughed from behind the bars. Finally he stopped tossing the apple, pausing slightly before putting it under the weak metal frame of the bed.
They both stared at each other for what seemed like forever. Finally Ruby broke the silence.
"Roman… we're running out of time…" She'd told herself that simple fact so many times, it still hurt her to say the words out loud.
"I know Red. Don't worry I have a plan…" He said, he didn't even sound worried. They both knew that the end of the month was approaching faster than either had expected.
"THEN WHY WON'T YOU TELL ME!" She screamed, Ruby hated being left out of things, it was like torcher. Worse than torcher. Now more than ever she needed to know what Roman was planning since Yang had plans of her own. Each day things seemed to be getting worse and worse for Ruby.
"I can't put you in that position Red!" They we're like a broken record. Speaking in circles, always asking each other the same questions.
"How will I know that you're safe? How will I know that you're okay? How will I see you when this is all over?" The tears came sooner than Ruby wanted them to. She usually made it back to dorm and locked herself in the bathroom before they fell. The same questions plagued her since day one.
"I'll have the answer by tomorrow. That okay Red?" Ruby could only manage to nod her head before Ironwood showed up. He entered the room, gun in hand. It was as if he expected Roman to be able to attack him. Maybe that wasn't it, maybe he was going to kill them both and put them out of their misery. That wasn't the case.
"Miss. Rose," his voice boomed "I was looking for you. If you could stop by my office later today, that'd be wonderful." He smiled. The smiled suggested that he knew something.
"Yes sir…" She said, a smile on her face as she walked towards the door. When she was out of sight the smile dropped into a grin.
~O~
Juniors club was in worse shape than ever. It was almost midnight and there was no body dancing on the dance floor. Rumor was that his club was going to close soon, finical trouble or something like that. Luckily, Yang found the club before it closed.
Music blasted from all directions as the doors ever so slowly opened. She walked in, a sassy walk that would announce that she was there. The club had its usual attentions. Juniors men, the twins and Junior himself. Yang wouldn't waste her time with the others, it was Junior she wanted.
"Hi Junior!" She said leaning against the counter. The sarcasm was dripping off her voice. He turned around, the look he gave her was priceless. A cross between Yang grabbing his balls and him shitting his pants.
"Blondie, what do you want…" The man was stiff with fear, his hand inching ever so slowly towards his gun. Yang noticed, she didn't hesitate to reach over the counter, she grabbed him by the collar.
"Listen here Junior, why don't you be a good little boy and just listen to me. You know I will kill you!" Her voice was playful, her actions were rough. "Why don't we take this outside?" She dragged his stiff body over the counter and across the dance floor.
The back door to the club slammed shut with a metal clank. Junior shook in the as Yang held him up , fist in the air ready to swing at a moment's notice.
"So Junior, I'm going to ask you a simple set of questions. You're going to answer the truth. You lie and you die." A sick and twisted smile formed on her face.
"Ok! Ok!" Junior screamed, his voice cracking under the pressure.
"Good boy. What really happened to my sister two years ago?" His eyes went wide in fear, then slumped back in thought. He seemed to weighing his options. He grinned, as if he thought of this as a game.
"Ok, the truth is that your sister was kidnapped." Yang laid a punch on his face before he could say anything else.
"I know that smart ass, what happened while she was kidnapped?" Her hair sparked up in ball of flames. Her hand returned to where it rested previously, just at the right distance to punch him if he continued to be a smart ass.
"She was kept in an apartment." He flinched as her hand almost hit him, stopping just in time.
"Who kidnapped her?"
"Roman Torchwick." Junior couldn't help but stare in confusion as Yang grinned, finally getting the answers that she wanted.
"Is there anything else you'd like to add to that statement?"
"He's in love with her or something!" Junior screamed, wishing he could take it back right away. The look on her face killed him, like the news was killing her. She lifted him up, her arm reaching behind her. She was going to kill him, he knew it. Words started to spill out his mouth before he could stop himself. "She loves him back or something. I don't know! Please don't kill me! I gave you what you wanted to know!" It was useless, she punched him.
In seconds Junior was under Yang, she kept punching. She couldn't control herself, punching him felt so good. He didn't even do anything wrong, but she felt the need to beat him until he was dead. She would have killed him too, if it wasn't for the girl who kicked her off him.
