The minute they put her back in the room and locked the door, Ebony started kicking at the walls. The minute she got out of there, she was going to kill Jay. She was going to make sure he suffered. Someone unlocked and opened the door slightly and slid a tray of food inside. Ebony looked at the tray and smiled when she saw that there was no utensils.
"Afraid I might kill one of you pathetic excuses for fighters." she yelled as she threw the tray at the door. "Why don't you come face me Jay? Are you that afraid of what I'm going to do to you?"
She slumped down on the floor and placed her head in her hands. She needed to know what was going on. Where was Lex? Did they kill him after they knocked her out. What was Jay's plans? What was her part in them? But most of all, she wanted to know if everything between them had been a lie?
Sasha opened her eyes when she felt Jay get out of the bed.
"Where are you going?"
"I've got things to do."
"You're going to see Ebony." she snapped.
"You know Sasha, jealousy really doesn't become you. And I find it highly annoying."
Jay finished getting dressed and left.
Ebony was still sitting with on the floor when the door opened.
"Hello Ebony." Jay said walking in the door.
"So you finally decided to grace me with your presence." she said standing up and slowly moving closer to him.
"You knew I'd come sooner of later."
Ebony went to slap him, but he caught her arm. She struggled but Jay somehow managed to push her against the wall and pin her there.
"If you keep this up, I will have you tied up."
"Go ahead because as long as my hands are untied, I'm going to keep trying to kill you."
"That's what I like best about you Ebony. Your fighting spirit."
To her disbelief, Jay began lowering his head to kiss her. His lips touched hers and for a second Ebony responded. But then the pain and anger of his betrayal quickly took over. She shoved him away and then punched him with all of the strength she had. Ebony felt a surge of pleasure as his head snapped back and he stumbled.
"Guards!" he yelled.
Five Technos rushed in and grabbed her. She fought them as best as she could, but there was too many of them. They quickly wrestled her to the ground and handcuffed her hands and legs. Afterwards they left. Jay knelt next to her. He took his finger and traced along the top of her shirt.
"I didn't want to have you tied up, but you gave me no choice."
"Why don't you just kill me and get it over with?"
"Because your more useful to me alive. And before you ask useful for what, I'll tell you when the time comes."
"Why me?"
"Why not you?"
"Stop talking in riddles and tell me what's going on." she yelled as she tried to kick at him.
"All in due time Ebony."
Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in." Jay said standing up and backing away.
Ram walked in.
"Nice to see you putting those legs to use. How about you use them to help your wife get out of here?" Ebony said laughing.
It was either laugh or cry and she wasn't about to give Jay the satisfaction. Ram looked at her strangely, whispered something to Jay and then left.
"Was it something I said?"
Get a grip on yourself Ebony or you're going to crack up, she thought to herself.
"It's been good visiting you, but I've got work to do."
"Taking over a city is hard work." Ebony stated.
"You're not going to trick me into revealing my plans Ebony." Jay said with a laugh. "But I will admit that taking over the city is just the beginning."
"You're going make it seem like I betrayed everyone aren't you?"
"My plans for you are ever changing."
"Why the whole charade?"
"No more questions."
"I would've stood by you and helped take over this city. You only had to ask." she admitted.
"Why do you think I aligned myself with you in the first place? I knew who the power players in this city were before I got here. But you've proved to be too unpredictable." he said once again kneeling next to her. "You actually shocked me when you married Ram."
"Wasn't that part of your plan?" she snapped.
"You weren't supposed to marry him. But it worked out even better than I hoped for."
"Why?"
"I needed to keep you occupied while I attended to some things."
"A simple get lost would have done the trick."
"Like I said I wanted you occupied, not gone. So why did you married him?"
"It's like you said, I'm unpredictable."
"That you certainly are." he said grinning. "As fun as this has been, I really have to go. Maybe if you're a good girl, I'll have you untied."
Jay leaned closer, kissed her again and then left. For the rest of the night Ebony laid there thinking. What did Jay mean by his plans for her were ever changing? By the time she fell asleep, she still didn't have any answers. But one thing had become obvious. Jay didn't know anything about the cd Ram showed her to get her to marry him. Which, to Ebony's joy, meant that Ram had an agenda of his own.
"And I'm going to use that little crack to bring Jay to his knees." she silently said to herself with a smile.
"Afraid I might kill one of you pathetic excuses for fighters." she yelled as she threw the tray at the door. "Why don't you come face me Jay? Are you that afraid of what I'm going to do to you?"
