"How far away is this place?" Gabriella whined, she was starting to become impatient.

"Brie, chill. We're almost there. Stop acting excited, it's not something to be excited about."

Gabriella couldn't help but giggle at his serious tone. "Live a little Troy."

He kept his eyes on the road but still questioned her statement "You're kidding right?"

Gabriella nodded her head, and he saw her from the corner of his eye. "Good."

The next few minutes on the way to the party seemed like an eternity of boredom. Troy wouldn't even let her put the radio on. The whole ride he didn't bother to look at her, or even crack a smile. Troy was taking this way too serious. Everything would be fine. She had faith in him. So why didn't he have faith in himself?

"Lets go." Troy stopped the car and looked at Gabriella who was smiling "You ready?"

"Finally." Before he could reply she stepped out of the car rather anxiously.

He rolled his eyes to himself and stepped out of the car following close behind, and grabbed her arm before she walked inside. The building looked like a small version of the white house, and people were flooding inside every minute. This wasn't going to be as easy as planned.

"Don't speak to anyone. Understand?" Gabriella turned to face Troy and stared at him dead in the eye. "I'll just put on a sexy British accent how about that?" She winked and he shook his head. "Will you loosen up? We can at least make the best of it. Besides, we could accomplish something great tonight."

"Yeah, whatever you say. Just stay close." Gabriella scoffed at Troy. He was clearly not going to make this fun.

"Troy, how do you expect to find them if we stay here all night?" Gabriella pulled away from his ear, the music was too loud for her to talk normally. Weren't these parties supposed to be elegant, and well..calming? This was like a gigantic ballroom, but instead of nice decorations, there was a DJ and a bar, and grinding everywhere. Was this a damn orgy party?

Troy kept looking into the crowd, as if he never heard Gabriella. Which he did, he just didn't want her to go out there alone. There were way to many people.

"Troy!" She shouted in his ear and he winced turning to her. "What?"

"I'm going to the restroom. And no, you can't come with me. I'll be back, I promise."

He quickly replied a simple "No."

"Troy, stop! There's so many people here. No one would notice me! Okay? I'm going to pee, no questions about it." As Troy was about to respond another no, she walked away from the bar and made her way into the crowd, and he lost her in the bunch. It was too late to go look for her. In case she came back, he wanted to be there. The last thing he needed was for her to be scared. Even if it seemed like he was more scared than her. "God dammit Brie." He leaned against the counter of the bar and waited impatiently.

God was this place too big for her liking. She got lost trying to find the damn bathroom. And there were even signs planted around the room. She made her way through the crowd, pushing through people and saying and occasional 'sorry' every time someone grunted and cursed at her. It's not her fault people wouldn't move out of the damn way. Gabriella was relieved when she finally came to the bathroom entrance after wandering around for 5 minutes. She knew Troy would be pissed, but it was his own fault he had her on lock down here. Inches away from what she was waiting for she felt a hand on her arm, and she was pushed into the bathroom, the hand still attached. She tripped over herself when she was pushed and the hand gripped her from falling. She noticed in the mirror the man who held onto her, and he let go after he heard her groan.

"Troy? What the hell?" Gabriella could see how furious he was, and backed away when he put his finger over his lips. He came closer to her and pushed her gently into the stall. His mouth came near her ear and she felt his hot breath against her skin, making her quiver. "Don't you ever do that again." Gabriella pushed him away, the tight space they had made it hard for her to look straight at him.

"Why did you push me in here? I was already making my way inside!" She shouted and he put his hand over her mouth. "You were too slow. Besides, I found him." Her eyes widened and she mumbled something, but Troy couldn't make it out. He pulled his hand away and sent her a 'sorry' glance. "You did? How? This place is filled with dozens of people!"

"There were some people at the bar, and they were speaking quietly, trying not to let anyone hear. The names Nick and John were mentioned. So, I followed them to a room not far from here. He didn't have a mask on when he was talking to the two men. And from the picture I saw, It looked a whole lot like him."

Gabriella smiled, and then looked around the stall. "Why are we in the stall than? No ones in here..Shouldn't we be getting him?"

Troy smirked and kissed Gabriella on the neck, making his way to her jawline. "I think it's pretty kinky." He pulled away and winked and she smacked him playfully on the chest. "But you're right, we need to go. Come on." He extended his hand and she grabbed it, leading the way out the girls restroom.

They exited the room, and made a few sharp turns, being careful not to be noticed. The room was only a few feet away, but Troy was having a hard time getting all the way there. This seemed a little too easy to find them. It was never this easy.

"Stay right here. I'll call you in when it's done..we clear?" Troy turned to Gabriella who nodded and nudged him toward the room. "Be careful Troy." Troy nodded as well, looking around the hall to make sure it was clear, and stepped inside the room, opening the door slowly to make little sound. If he was caught, he had a great excuse that he drank a little too much. But that wasn't the case. When he made his way inside, the room was unoccupied and it looked like no one had stepped foot inside. He swore he saw them walk inside this very room not too long ago. They couldn't have left this soon, yet it seemed deserted.

"Hello, Troy." Troy was half way in the room when he heard a voice coming from behind, followed by a hard hit to the face.

Gabriella tapped her foot impatiently and every few minutes she looked around to make sure no one was in sight. She didn't expect him to take this long to knock the man out and call her in. So why did she get the feeling it never happened? Gabriella crossed her arms over her chest and walked slowly to the door where Troy was inside. She was stopped when she saw a man down the hall, and she couldn't hear her heart beating anymore. This time, it wasn't a dream.

"You really shouldn't be alone in this area Gabi. You could get yourself hurt."
