"Oh, really?", Salandine sniggered, though still gasping for breath.

"Any idiot could figure it out." I muttered, swiftly elbowing the man on my right inbetween his ribs, whilst ramming my foot into the other heavy's crotch.

"Enlighten us Sam?"

"Like you don't already know" I laughed smuttily.

"Sam," Dauntra warned.

I swirled around to face her.

"You think I bloody care what you think, Dauntra?"

"I never said that..." she hesitated.

"ENOUGH," Salandine bellowed, taking his turn to slam his fist onto the table.

"Sit down Sam," he said calmly, as his heavies pushed me into my seat, "It's not whether or not you want to help us, it's whether or not you'd let your sister go through this..." he paused through the impact, motioning to the Polaroid, "for any longer than she needs to."

"YOU! You absolute...," words failed me as I saw the state Lucy was in. Her normally perfect hair hung tattered and bedraggled over her face, matted with her own blood and sweat, black and yellow bruises lingered over her face where the lasting signs of the hard time these jerks had given her were clear to see.

Her hands were bound behind her back, her mouth gagged but her eyes looked so determined, so angry to get back at her tormentors.

I had never imagined Lucy like this. Becca, maybe, but Lucy, perfect Lucy? Never. Feisty and defiant were words that most definitely did not suit her, especially recently.

"So, Sam," he continued, "What's it going to be?"

"Elaborate." I muttered angrily. "Is what you want me to do what I imagined?"

"You mean infiltrate the white house?" his eyes twinkled with excitement. "Of course. Is it what you expected?"

"Of course," I muttered back, mocking the very way Salandine spoke.

"You better buck up your ideas Sam. As of now, we're a team."
