Layla swept the living room of Buck's mansion. She kept her gaze down. *Mr. Buck...if only you knew of the feelings for you* she thought sadly. She noticed a glass still sitting on the table. It had some liquid in it. She smelled the liquid to check it for poisons. She shrugged smelling nothing. She took a sip for it only to cough. She dropped the glass letting it shatter on the floor. She collapsed on the ground. Kora smiled watching the half breed coil up in pain. Buck heard the commotion. He ran downstairs finding Layla on the floor. "Layla!" Yelled Buck. He ran to her side. " Layla darling what happened?"Layla coughed weakly. Her lips were turning blue slowly. Buck lifted her up. " come my dear. I'll get you upstairs." Buck carried her up to one of the spare rooms. He laid her down on the bed gently. "Stay here. I'm getting you an antidote." Layla coughed into her hand. Buck fetched an antidote from a spare box in his room. He went back to Layla's room. "here." he handed it to her. She took downing as much of it as possible. It tasted bitter. She coughed handing the empty vile to him. "it will taste bitter for a while but it should help." Layla sighed. "I'm sorry Mr. Buck. I didn't mean to make a mess in the living room. "Buck held up his hand. "I want to know what you were drinking, Layla." Layla thought for a moment. "it was one of your alcoholic drinks. I think someone poisoned it." Buck frowned. "I see." Layla laid her head down on her pillow. "get some rest, Layla." Buck left her room. Layla was one of his best servants. He was disturbed by her near-death experience. Kora watched him go into the Living room. *Damn I nearly killed her. I want her out of the way so I can deal with him* she thought. *I'll have to try another time. That poison took a while to make*
Penny woke up a few hours later. Her arm felt numb from the medication's effect. She tilted her head to the side to see Elvis sitting next to Finley. Elvis stood up seeing her stir. He ran over to her hugging her tightly. Penny winced. "Elvis...let go." she whispered. "you're hurting me." Elvis let go of her. She sighed leaning back. "I was so worried about you." Elvis had his gaze down on the ground. "I should have taken those bullets not you." Penny reached for him. "That was not your decision to make Elvis, it was mine. Besides, I rather not see you in the hospital. I'll be okay, I promise." , "I know, listen I got to go in a few minutes, but I need to tell you something that can't be said to anyone, not even Sam, because it's about Buck," Penny nodded showing she understood. "I'm going after Buck. I don't know when I'll return." He had his gaze down. "If something happens to me, just tell Sam that I loved him." Penny grabbed his arm. " Elvis, are you f*** crazy!? You can't go dangerously involving yourself that way!", "Well if I don't go, Buck will continue to kidnap our friends until Sam decides to give in, and I can't lose him Penny. Besides, I got Finely with me," Penny sighed, "I always knew that my sister had a liking to adventure. Alright then, but if you're not back by the time I get out of the hospital, I'm telling Sam and everyone else, deal?" , "Deal,"
Finley looked outside. "we better get going. The sooner we find Buck, the sooner we can get this done and over with." Elvis nodded. Finley and Elvis left the hospital without anyone knowing. Finley grabbed her bow out of the back of her car. She slung it over her back. "I'll be needing this." She then took out a clean feather. "and this. If I can get some of his blood then it proves that I've done my job." She turns to Elvis. "are you ready for this? Killing a man isn't easy and I want to make sure you don't have second thoughts." Elvis shook his head, "No, this is my decision and I won't back out it." Finley smirked, "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go," Finley and Elvis started running to get a better head start. Finley was much faster than Elvis. She parkoured from building to building without a problem. She chuckled seeing that Elvis was still far behind her. "oops my bad. I keep forgetting that I'm an assassin." She offered him her hand. He gladly took it pulling himself over to her. "now we'll need to steal us a boat. Something that isn't trackable. We can't take Neptune or else my sister will notice her dingy is missing." Finley thought for a moment. "we should head down to the docks in Cardiff. They should have a boat there that we can use." They both looked around for a second until their eyes landed on a boat right near the end of the harbor. Finley went over to check on it before she nodded in satisfaction, "This one's good," Elvis instantly hopped in and got the boat started as Finley had control on the steering. Finley checked the GPS. "okay now where are we going?" she asked. "I heard Buck's main headquarters is located in Ireland. We should check there first." replied Elvis not looking at her. He only hoped Sam was going to be okay by himself. No telling which family member Kora was going to kill next.
