Lilly and Ayame leaned on each other as they shivered from both fear and the cold. Ayame had tears in her eyes but Lilly was holding strong on the out side but she was crying on the inside. Kenny and Terry were silent as they sped down the deserted highway to their destination. Lilly and Ayame heard the car come to a stop and the doors opened and they were grabbed rather roughly and pulled from the car.

"Mr. Mason has been waiting for you." A man said. "Goddamn traitors."

Lilly and Ayame were led blindly through the doors of the building and into an elevator.

"Ayame?" Lilly asked.

"I'm here." Ayame said.

"No talking." A man yelled.

There was the sound of a hand hitting a face and Lilly cringed when she heard Ayame give a cry. The cry was followed by the sound of air being forced out of lungs and Lilly thought that they punched Ayame in the gut.

"Mr. Mason said not to lay a hand on them." Kenny said. "Do it again and I'll kill you.

"Yes sir." The man said.

The elevator came to a halt and they were drug out and thrown into a cold room. There was the sound of a door shutting and Lilly rolled onto her back and sat up.

"Ayame are you in here?" She asked.

"Yes." Lilly said through her sobs. "Are they gonna kill us?"

"I don't know." Lilly said. "Listen can you sit up?"

"I…I think so." Ayame said.
"Ok." Lilly said. "Sit up and come to the sound of my voice."

That was Lilly's test to see if there were any guards in the room and when there was no sound in the room besides Ayame getting to her feet.

"Ok good come to me slowly so you don't trip." Lilly said.

Ayame took small slow steps searching with her foot the entire way.

"Lilly you have to keep talking if you want me to find you." Ayame said.

"Ok it sounds like you to my left your right." Lilly said.

Ayame adjusted herself and slowly made her way to Lilly. She was using her foot as a blind mans cane and felt Lilly's thigh. She ran her foot up and down the thigh to find out which side she was on and Lilly smiled.

"Save that until after we get out of here." She said.

Ayame lowed herself down so she was sitting beside Lilly and rested her head on her shoulder. They sat like that for a minute as Lilly tried to think of a way to get out.

"Ok Ayame." Lilly said. "I want you to soot around so we're back to back."

"Why?" Ayame asked.

"So you can untie me and I can untie you." Lilly said.
"I got it." Ayame said as she scooted around to the back of Lilly.

She reached out and after grabbing Lilly's butt once or twice she found the rope that was securing her hands and started to blindly untie them. Lilly was moving her hands back and forth trying to loosen the ropes and finally her hands broke free. She quickly shed the ropes and pulled off her blindfold and turned around and quickly untied Ayame's hands. Lilly swung around to the front of Ayame and took of the blindfold and put her hands on her cheeks and looked into her frightened eyes.

"Are you ok?" She asked.

"Yea." Ayame said and she threw her arms around Lilly.
"Save the hug until after we get out of here." Lilly said.

They stood up and ran to the door but it was locked.

"Shit." Lilly said as she slammed her hand into the door.

They looked around the room for something to use as a battering ram but all there was in the room was a large mirror most likely a 2 way mirror, desk with a box on it and a fire extinguisher. Lilly picked up the fire extinguisher and started hammering on the door.

"Give up." A man's voice said over the PA system. "That door is solid steel."

"Who are you?" Ayame asked.

"I am one of Mr. Mason's partners." The man said. "That is all you need to know."

"What do you want from us?" Lilly asked lowering the fire extinguisher.

"There is nothing more I'd like than to make you watch each other die but Mr. Mason has other plans for you." The man said.

"Like what?" Lilly asked defiantly.

"To see if any of you are still loyal." The man said. "Over on the table is a box. There is a small hand gun inside. If one of you kills the other then you will walk out of this room alive."

"And if we refuse?" Lilly asked.

"Then Mr. and Mrs. Chambers will come in and kill you." The man said.

Lilly ran over to the box and pulled out the 9mm hand gun and aimed it at the door.

"Well then send them in." She said.

"That would be useless." The man said. "They have on body armor and there is only one shot in that gun. So make the choice."

"I'll let you know." Lilly said.

"You have 2 minutes to make a dissension otherwise you both die here and now." He said.

Lilly looked at Ayame who was looking at her with fear in her eyes.

"I'm not gonna kill you." She said taking the gun by the barrel and handing it to Ayame. "I want you to live."

"I won't do it." Ayame said.

"One of us has to live and that one is you." Lilly said.

"No I won't kill you." Ayame yelled as her eyes filled with tears.

"Then give me the gun I'll do it myself." Lilly said.

"Oh like I'm gonna let you kill yourself?" Ayame said.

"Then what are we gonna do huh?" Lilly yelled. "Are we both gonna die?"

"No." Ayame said. "I have an idea."

She put the gun on the table and pushed the table over to the mirror.

"Toss me the extinguisher." She said.

Lilly had an 'I know what your doing' look ob her face as she tossed the extinguisher to Ayame. Ayame laid the extinguisher on its side right against the mirror and she and Lilly ran to the other side of the room.

"They will be on us in seconds." Lilly said. "If we don't act fast we're dead."

Ayame nodded and aimed the gun at the extinguisher and fired. There was a deafening boom and the room was filled with orange smoke from the extinguisher. They both rushed the mirror before the smoke was cleared and jumped through the hole that was blown in it. They say a man in the corner of the room cowering. And saw Kenny and Terry coughing and holding their throats. Their weapons were laying on the table just in front of Lilly and Ayame and they picked them up and aimed them at Kenny and Terry.

"You traitorous sons of bitches." Lilly said as she and Ayame pulled the triggers of the weapons.

In less than 5 seconds over 30 rounds were fired at Kenny and Terry and once the smoke in the room cleared they saw Kenny and Terry laughing as they dusted themselves off.

"What the hell?" Lilly yelled as she dropped the clip from the weapon and saw that it was filled with blanks.

"Oh you should see your faces." Kenny said as he started laughing.

"What!?" Lilly asked.
"You're in the STAR building." Terry said. "The man in the corner that looks like he was cowering is just hiding his face."

Lilly and Ayame turned to look at the man as he got to his feet.

"This is Jack Walther. The CEO of the STAR Corporation." Terry said. "He's always liked a good joke so he was moor than interested in helping Kenny and I scar the living shit out of you."

"So…so you're saying that this was another joke?" Ayame asked lowering the gun.

"Yep and aside from shooting your fathers tire it all went off without a hitch." Kenny laughed.

"You assholes!" Lilly yelled. "I was gonna kill myself so Ayame could live over a joke?"

"Calm down Lilly." Terry said.

"Fuck calm." Lilly yelled. "I could have died."

"That wouldn't have happened." Jack said. "I had a team of security guards out side that would have flooded the room with a powerful knockout gas as soon as you raised the gun to each other or you're self."

"We are very safe with our jokes even it doesn't look like it." Terry said.

Lilly was so mad she was actually shaking as she looked at Kenny and Terry.

"It's ok Lilly." Terry said. "It's all part of the game."

"What game?" Lilly yelled.

"We started it by throwing flash bangs into your room." Kenny said. "You played right along by chasing us down and throwing us into the pool. So we cooked this up. Now it's up to you two to top that."

"That's how the game is played." Terry said. "Ask your father he invented the game."

"Take us home." Lilly said throwing Terry's sub machine gun at her.

"I can't believe you two." Ayame said. "I…I really thought I was gonna die."

She broke into tears and fell to the floor. Terry stepped forward but was pushed back by Lilly who gave her a 'stay the hell away from us' look. Lilly kneeled down and put an arm around Ayame and helped her to her feet and out of the room and down the hallway. One of the security men that was to intervene if needed was in the hallway.

"Hey listen." He said. "That got out of hand. I shouldn't have slapped you."

"Don't worry." Lilly said. "Your gonna get off easy."

They walked past him and into the elevator and took it to the first floor and walked to the car and got into the front seat. Kenny and Terry were running for the door as Lilly pulled out into the street and drove off.

"You left the keys in the car?" Terry asked.

"Shit happens." Kenny said shrugging

Lilly and Ayame were silent as they drove back to the Silky Doll. Ayame was ridding low in the seat with her arms folded across her chest.

"Are you still mad?" She asked.

"Furious." Lilly said.

Ayame lowered her head and looked at her legs. Lilly looked at her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Not at you." She said.

"I know." Ayame said. "I can see the humor in the joke but they went way to far with it."

"There gonna pay." Lilly said.

"Oh yea they are." Ayame said with a smile.

"Their gonna pay tonight if they come back." Lilly said as they pulled into the Silky Doll's parking lot.

"What do you have in mind?" Ayame asked as they got out of the car.

"Well to start this." Lilly said as she walked along side of the car dragging the key along the new paint job.

"Oh." Ayame said covering her mouth. "Kenny is gonna be pissed."

"Good." Lilly said.

"So what's next?" Ayame asked as Lilly put an arm around her waist and they walked into the building.

"I'll think about it." Lilly said with a smirk.
