Author's note: Hey readers, thanks so much for the new reviews! I've been away for a while, but I'm back and I know this chapter may not be up to par, but another one may be coming today! Enjoy!
"Wait, Abby where are you going? You don't even know where he's at!" Rusty yelled.
"Oh, I have a pretty good idea," I admitted as I kept walking. Rusty pulled me around to face him and met me with a passionate kiss. I pulled away, smiling.
"Finish this later?" I joked as I headed around the corner.
"If we don't die or get captured or get locked up in prison for fifty years." I stopped and turned around to see Rusty standing hopelessly in front of me.
"Wait, who's going to prison?" Livingston's squeaky voice cried in my ear.
"No one is going to prison" I sighed as I pulled out my ear bug, and walked toward Rusty.
"What is this talk about prison Rusty? It never concerned you before."
"I didn't have something to lose then."
"And what would you be losing?" I asked my mouth inches from his. In one swift motion he grabbed me and dipped me with my head barely above the floor and proceeded to kiss me.
I turned around and began to walk away when I felt Rusty's eyes on back.
"Don't do anything stupid," he called after me. I smiled, my back to him.
"We both know this plan was built on stupid," I replied back as I pushed the elevator button.
WITH DANNY
"Danny, I-" Tess started. But she was interrupted as the song "Hero" by skillet, lit up the dance floor.
"One dance for old times sake?" Danny smiled, taking her hand.
"Okay, you obviously think that just because you paid the d j to play our song you have a chance with me. But I am happy with Ben-" Tess started, intent to decline his offer.
"I know Tess, I know. It's just a dance, and you have my word after it's over you'll never see me again."
"The word of a thief? What good has that ever done for me? A loveless marriage and a daughter that wants nothing to do with me?" Tess scoffed as she began to walk away. But he caught her hand.
"Tess, for all the dances I missed, give me this one," he pleaded. Her face softened and he lead her to the dance floor. She rested her head on his shoulder and they swayed to the music. The dancers dispersed as the music ended.
Tess broke away, and the room had already started to fill with chatter again. "At one time you were my hero, Danny. But not anymore, and nothing you can do will change that," Tess said softly as she let go of his hand and walked away.
Danny smiled sadly and headed to the bar. "What will it be?" the bartender asked.
"What do you got for a heart that's been broken for ten years?" Danny joked.
"Miss Benedict?" the bartender asked, knowingly.
"How'd you know?" Danny asked as he drank a shot.
"Cause she's come in here many nights saying that exact same thing."
Danny nodded taking in this new information. He laid down a tip and then proceeded to walk away, but stopped remembering something and walked back to the bar. "Could you get this to the d j?" he asked handing over a fifty dollar bill.
WITH ABBY
"Livingston call Linus's cell phone and tell him Danny's gone rogue," I ordered into my bug as I tried to quickly walk through the halls, without drawing attention to myself.
"But, I thought Linus-"
"was not to be contacted while he's stalling Benedict, I know. But the worst calling his phone would do right now is make Benedict annoyed, making Linus even less memorable," I replied as I continued through the hallways.
"So, are we still going with the same plan?"
"Well, there's no time for a new one. I just hope Danny knows what he's edited or were all in deep trouble."
