Lightning glanced at his watch one more time before opening Cleo's office door. She smiled sitting at her desk. "Lightning.. Come.. sit down." she suggested. The only seat left in the room was in front of her of the desk. He sighed and walked over. He sat down and wouldn't make eye contact at first. Cleo cocked her head as she thought for a moment.
"Did you think about this all day? Did it torture your mind thinking about what on earth I could possibly have in mind for you?" Cleo asked. Lightning looked to her. He was angry and she could see it. Cleo tapped the desk ordering "Phone. Now." Lightning sighed then took out his phone and placed it on the desk. Cleo smiled and turned it comepletly off. "I'll tell you what I was going to do.. You know, as your punishment." Lightning was giving this look to her. A look that read, I'm going to kill you one of these days. Cleo smiled in continuing "I was going to hire some slut to come in and play the roll as Sally. I was going to show you all the things that would be done to her. Even have her crying out Stickers! Oh,Oh Stickers! Make it stop!"
She was only fueling his rage right now. "But then I realized that I'd have to pay the woman and unlike Sally, she wouldn't be forced and would more than likely enjoy it. Well.. Actually. Maybe Sally would enjoy it." Lightning's fist clenched up. Cleo noticed. She stood up and leaned over her desk whispering "That little outburst you had earlier was unacceptable daddy.. Don't ever touch me again without my permission." Oh Lightning was only being more provoked. But he held back silently. Cleo stood up straight continuing "If you ever touch me again like that, I won't just make you watch.. I'll have you join.." Lightning stared down at the ground. If he continued staring at this woman he was going to do something he shouldn't. Cleo suddenly began laughing. Lightning was lost. What the heck?
Cleo calmed and explained "Who am I kidding! A threat means nothing if you don't follow through with it!" she laughed. Lightning became worried for Sally and shouted "No!.. I'm here.. I'm here so.. P-punish me.." he said. Cleo stared at him. "Alright." she answered. Cleo opened a drawer and pulled out a pocket knife and pressed a button, opening the blade. Lightning's eyes widened. What was she going to do? Cleo then cut her finger slightly. Bleeding a little. "I have nothing to lose now.. Remember?" She then stabbed the knife into the desk which made Lightning flinch in his seat a bit. Cleo stared at it for a moment. "I feel no pain because I have nothing now.." She then put her finger in front of Lightning and ordered "Lick it off. Better yet.. Suck it off." Lightning stared at her blood smeared finger.
"I'm not doing that." He growled. Cleo glared explaining the situation. "You have no choice. Suck it off or I'll be having Sally suck something else." Lightning glared at this woman. This was disgusting. "You can't scare me with your threats.. You wouldn't do that. You can't touch Sally. You are full of shit and threats." He snarled and pushed her hand away. Cleo sighed and licked her finger clean. So gross. Then stood up and began to walk around toward him. "You have no idea the things I'd do now.." She stood next to him. Lightning just sat there silently. "Because of you, I've lost my wealth.. my home... my kids.. I have absolutely nothing.." "As much as I'd love to take all the credit, you lost all those things by your own stupid actions Cleo." Lightning rudely corrected.
THUD
Lightning and Cleo both turned and stared toward her door. Cleo grabbed her knife. "Whose there?..." She asked so nicely it was creepy. Slowly Cleo walked over and opened the door. She stared down the hall. Nothing. She looked over at the assistant's desk. Nothing. "Hmmm." she hummed then grabbed out her phone and called. "Hey... Yea... You'll get your money. Just get over here and do what I am paying you to do... Good." then she went back inside to Lightning, not shutting the door completely.
Under the desk, Sally held her breath as Cleo checked down the hall. Sally snuck in here to catch Lightning and mostly Cleo in whatever was going on. Now she felt the adrenaline pumping as she come to realize how bad Cleo just might be. But then she noticed.. The security room key!..
Cleo had enough of her own toying with him and got straight to the point. "You were suppose to get rid of Rodney. You failed. This time, don't fail me. This next person should be so much easier to get rid of anyway." Lightning was confused a little. "You want me to do your dirty work?" he asked. Cleo smiled explaining "Consider this redemption.. Destroy Jackson Storm. He isn't trustworthy." "And I am!?" Lightning yelled, pushing himself to a standing position. His hands on the desk.
Cleo giggled a little answering "Not really.. But you won't risk her.. You have something to lose. Ha! I knew that game the two of you were playing was a lie. Pretending to hate each other in order to protect each other.. How sweet." Cleo joked. Lightning was just so angry. He couldn't destroy Jackson. "And I suppose by destroy, you mean"-"Destroy his confidence. He was easier to control when he felt the weight of the world." Cleo admitted. "Jackson is a bit of a drama queen." Then raised a brow "Did you?.. Did you think I meant kill him?.. Ha! Well I won't be having you do that. I am not that cruel.." "How would I even do that?" he asked. Cleo raised a brow asking "What? Get rid of Jackson's confidence?"
She turned her back toward him continuing "I think we both know he's extremely weak and emotionally unstable right now. Use that." Cleo said in a growl. Lightning's brows raised. Cleo was evil. He hated her. Needed to get rid of her. But it seemed he was only digging himself a hole deeper and deeper. "I can't do it.." Lightning mumbled. "I think you'll be able to and will change your mind..There's still your punishment after all." She then sharply turned and BAM stabbed the knife into the desk between his right hand's thumb and index finger. Lightning, who looked just terrified looked straight into Cleo's eyes. Cleo, smiled with a sparkle in those eyes and giggled a little before saying "Oops... I missed."
Lightning was furious. He reached for his phone but Cleo snatched it up first. The two stared at each other. "No, no, no.. There's still that punishment." Lightning stared at her. Unsure and a little nervous thinking of what it could be then suddnely he felt a hand on his shoulder. Lightning looked over and two men were standing there. He recognized them after staring a moment. "Wait a moment.. You're-OOMPH!" Lightning fell to the ground as the guy punched him in the side of the face! He looked up at them. They were some of the guys that beat him up before, that night at the academy.
Sally heard the loud fall and crawled closer, peeking through the cracked door...
Lightning stood up and immediately one guy held his arms behind his back. "So you wanna beat me up? That's your plan!?" Lightning shouted! Cleo stared a moment. She didn't say anything, but she did a simple nod to the other guy and he reached in his pocket pulling out some brass knuckles. Lightning sighed and stared at them. He knew what was coming now for sure. "I won't just stand here and let these two beat the hell out of me.." He warned. Cleo glared "It wouldn't be as fun if you did.." She replied. Then the man punched Lightning in the face. The only thing holding him up was the guy holding his arms. Lightning breathed heavily. He was angry and that really hurt!.. The man reared back to hit him again but Lightning used his feet and kicked the guy back!
Cleo rolled her eyes and sat down. "Stop messing around and kick his ass." she scolded. "To teach the dog to obey, you gotta beat obedience into him." Cleo snarled. The man hit Lightning in the stomach but Lightning pushed back, smashing the guy holding him into the wall and was free. "Oh good grief.. Hold him!" Cleo ordered. The two men grabbed him then Cleo marched over. Sally's eyes widened! Where was the knife!? Was Cleo going to stab him!? Cleo reared back and Sally turned away and heard the punch and Lightning screamed this horrible short scream that almost sounded like drowning then a fall! Did she seriously stab him!? Lightning was almost in tears and on his knees. His hands between his legs as he screamed up at Cleo "BITCH! YOU FUCKING BITCH!!.." spit even flew from his mouth as he spoke. Cleo smiled and began to reply "Relax.. The pain won't last that long.." Sally scrambled to get her phone and call for help!
In doing so, she dropped it on the ground with a loud thud. Cleo and the two men looked that direction. Sally gasped and grabbed her mouth. She was scared. Not only scared but why on earth did Lightning come here!? "Someome else is here.. Lightning isn't going to be walking anytime soon. You two go." Sally heard Cleo's ordered and grabbed her phone and began to run! "You ain't paying us to chase!" one said. Cleo glared snapping "Go or I won't pay you at all!" The two men pushed the door open and caught a glimpse of Sally taking the stairs and began to chase after her!
Sally ran down the stairs, which weren't many at all. She ran through the halls and the men ran down the stairs and into the hall. She ran out the doors and headed toward her car with the two men on her tail Cleo peeked out the window and snickered. Lightning was still on the ground and groaning in pure pain. "Well, well.. Turns out our little unwanted guest was Sally." Cleo exclaimed. Lightning looked up at Cleo. Now he was scared. He was scared Cleo would hurt Sally! "Please.. Don't.." He begged as he breathed heavy in pain. Cleo looked at him. "Please don't what?" she asked. Lightning growled and hit the floor. He was panicking "Tell me whatever you want me to do! I will do anything if you just let her go! I beg you!.. I'll.. I'll ruin Jackson for you!" he yelled!
Cleo sighed and watched as Sally got into her car. By the time the two men got to her she had sped off. "Awe... Well.. She left you behind.. Now what does that say about her love for you?" Cleo asked. Lightning was panting. The pain was going away but he was braking. Begging like that instead of fighting. He frowned and stared down. Cleo was very satisfied with this. Turns out Sally sped the process up. The two men ran back into the room admitting "She got away.." Cleo sighed but shrugged "It's fine." she replied. The two men stared at eachother as one asked "Aren't you worried she'll go to the police!?" Cleo seemed way too calm about this.
"I am." she answered. "But Lightning won't let that happen." Lightning stared up at Cleo. She had a sly smile on her face. "Stand up.." Cleo ordered firmly. Lightning slowly and a little painfully stood up but wasn't making eye contact. Cleo was so happy about this. "Good job.. Now go and stop Sally. Convince her that what she saw here.. Never happened." Lightning frowned but asked "How would I do that?" Cleo glared and looked at one the guys. He reared back and punched Lightning in the side of the face! Lightning fell to the ground with a thud! "You know her best.. You figure it out." Lightning looked up and so furious. He wouldn't do it. Cleo needed to go to jail! "Or else these two will oay Sally a visit tonight.." She threatened. Lightning looked at the the two men. Yeah, they'd be more than happy to do that. He had to stop Sally.
"How will he catch her in time to even stop her!?" one guy asked. Cleo and Lightning stared at each other as she answered "He's a professional race car driver. He can catch her.. Escort Mr. McQueen out to his car please." The two men grabbed Lightning up by his shirt and tossed him outside roughly onto the pavement. "Better hurry!" One snapped before they shut the doors of the building. Lightning staggered up and got into the car. He wanted to let Sally go to Sheriff. Tell everything Cleo did but.. If Sheriff couldn't find those two guys or their friends before he could.. Lightning couldn't protect Sally from that many men at once! The quickest way to protect her right now was to stop her.
