Ch 16. Arrangements

"Revenge? That's what I like to hear. What kind of revenge?" Faith was feeling like a kid on Christmas.

'This might just be worth hanging around for a little bit longer.' she thought happily to herself.

"The kind that makes you hate and blame yourself. The kind that makes a vulnerable to anything and everything." his voice grew more passionate with every breath. "The kind that haunts a man for the rest of his miserable life. That's the kind of revenge I want."

Faith grew unbelievably happier with each word he spoke.

"Ooh, fun! So I help you with this mission of yours, and you help me to disappear afterwards. But no one can know that I'm involved with this. Everyone has to believe that I've already left town. My objective is to stay low, not walk around the town with a target on my forehead."

"Don't worry, nobody will know about you're participation. As far as I'm concerned I have no idea where you could possibly be."

"Thanks for your help, really I'm touched by your kindness. But where am I suppose to stay when people come around here?"

Apparently by the look on his face he had already thought of that.

"Here take this." He told her and placed a small, black object in her hand.

"What the hell his this?" she asked waving it around.

"Point it there and press the button." he instructed her. She did as she was told and the instant she pressed the button the wall slid back, revealing a small room. She walked inside of it and looked around.

"So, this is the infamous panic room? Nice." she spread a smile across her face and looked back at Ric.

"I think our arrangement just might work."

"Oh yeah? Just a question, how about the little 'arrangement' you had with Capelli? The one where you arranged for me to die in that fire?" she was grateful for his help but that didn't make her any less angry about it.

"You want to hold that against me? Fine. Good luck finding someone else to help you." he said and opened the door for her to walk out.

"Never mind." she really needed someone on her side. So she walked over to the door and shut it. "What's the plan?"

"Well, I'll tell you."
