Michael smiled slowly, removing the puzzle book from Ana's hand, he put his arms around her and kissed her, working his way along her cheek until it appeared as though he was nibbling on her earlobe. He whispered, "Play along Ana, this may be our only shot at talking here."
She pulled back suddenly, looking him in the eyes. Then, easing her arms up around his neck, she returned his smile before angling her head and nipping his earlobe with her teeth then whispering back, "Very clever. So what do you think?"
Continuing to look like a couple of teenagers snogging and groping, he replied, "I think his friend the sergeant is on to something, and that if we don't act soon we might not make it out of here at all."
"Why the camera's?" she asked, then moaned softly when Michael kissed her neck, just below her ear. It made her think of Louis suddenly, but for the first time she didn't feel guilty about how Michael made her feel.
Michael, breathing a little unsteadily now, said, "To make sure we don't escape probably. And to trap us a little more easily if we do."
"What..What about Tucker...and Andy?" she asked, starting to have a difficult time concentrating.
"I don't think they're still alive," he began, before Steve's voice interrupted.
"Well would you look at this. Too bad I forgot to bring the camcorder from the mall, we could have filmed this for posterity" he leered, drawing the attention of the other occupants of the room.
"Steve, you're being an asshole again," Monica mumbled, laying back down, trying to make the cot seem more comfortable. It was times like these that she couldn't remember why she'd let him fuck her. Glancing towards Ana and Michael she just said, "It's about time you two did something interesting."
Nicole was also looking at the two on the cot, visibly surprised. It wasn't so much that they were snogging that shocked her, as it was that they were doing it so openly. As Monica had suggested, they'd all seen the attraction between the two almost as soon as they had arrived at the mall together, but to their knowledge the pair had never acted on those feelings, until now.
Ana's face turned a bright shade of red with embarrassment. Without the luxury of being able to speak openly, there would be no easy way to explain why they'd been carrying on the way they had.
Instead of trying to come up with an explanation, Michael grabbed the crossword puzzle book and tossed it in the direction of where Peter, Roger and Fran sat, grateful for their silence. "Why don't you guys try some crosswords to take your mind off of things." He looked at the clock on the wall, it was only 9 in the morning. "I think I'm going to see about using the showers," he said, rising from the cot, trying to act as though nothing had happened.
"I'll come with you," Terry called, also rising from his cot. Nicole automatically got up to follow him.
"I guess I'll go too, seeing as how breakfast seems to be late this morning," Ana said quietly, still red-faced over being caught with Michael like that.
"Well if you guys are going to be making all this noise," Monica complained, "I guess I'll come along too." She wasn't very happy about having to deal with Nicole, who'd probably insist on bringing the dog along, but she couldn't resist the opportunity to give Ana a little bit of a hard time about Michael. In a way she was jealous of the two of them,
if they made it out of this alive she thought they could actually have something together. Not like herself and Steve, once the sex got boring they were finished.
"Come on Chips!" Nicole called to the dog who'd been sleeping beneath her cot. He trotted over to follow them out the door. Marshall was there to accompany them to the gym, where the showers were located. Walker remained at the door to guard
