Chapter 6

RPOV

"Got five bucks, sugar?" a filthy homeless man asked from the alley's entrance I past not three seconds ago. I stopped and turned back slightly.

"Before you asked me that question, what did you think I'd say?" I asked bitterly.

"No," he flashed me a sick grin and eyed my body up and down. "But then I'd show you this," he said, pulling out a revolver gun. I so did not need this right now. I was in the city and all I needed to do was get on a plane to Spain. But since he wanted to play this game, I didn't mind playing along.

I walked up to him lazily and stood right in front of his gun.

"Go on. I dare you. Because you sure aren't getting any money from me, buddy," I said, grinning sweetly at him, making sure not to show my fangs.

He barked out a laugh, sending his spit everywhere. Lucky, none landed on me.

My face was shadowed so he couldn't see my blood red eyes.

"See ya in hell," he spat, and pulled the trigger. A second before he fired I flipped the gun backwards so the bullet went straight through his forehead. He slumped backwards and landed in a heap. Dead.

I grabbed the gun, tucked it under my shirt and in my jeans near my lower back and walked on as if nothing happened.

A few pedestrians a couple blocks away screamed and broke into a wild run in the opposite direction of the gunshot.

And me? Well, lets just say I was deep down in casual mode. The incident that occurred not two minutes ago didn't faze me one bit. He was asking for it, so he got it. End of story.

There was something that the bastard and I had in common though. We both needed money.

I needed to call Raiden and there was a local phone booth in sight but I needed change. Apparently the two women that just rounded the block didn't hear the gunshot as they were chatting anxiously away. I knew I had to ask them for change but I wasn't sure whether they'd hand some over. Still, it was worth a try. It was sad to say, but they were hookers. They were dressed in practically lingerie with knee-high leather boots and showing alot of skin. Ugh, tonight was so no my night.

Walking up to them, they slowed to a stop and looked me up and down.

"Look, I know you're probably thinking that I've got money and that I'm just tricking you, but I'm-"

"You need money?" one of them asked softly.

I nodded. "Yes. I just need to make one phone call."

They looked at each other and after a moment they looked back at her.

"Look, babe, we're happy to help you if you help us. Ok, here's the deal: we've slept with a few rich-assed men tonight and they paid us money. Like five thousand dollars. The cops are after us because the dudes claimed that we stole their money when we didn't. We have enough money to get outa town but by then we'll be searched for the money. We need you to take the rest," the other girl spoke.

Free money? Sweet.

I smiled at them. "Sure."

After giving me three thousand dollars, one thousand each for the girl to get out of town, I then went on my way. So not only can I make a phone call, but also I can go home.

Running up to the phone booth, I paid the charge and punched in Raiden's number.

After the third ring, he picked up.

"Sonya, for the last time. Stop calling me," Raiden spat.

"Raiden?" I gasped.

There was a moment of silence before he spoke. "Rose?"

I closed my eyes and sighed with relief.

"It's me, Raiden," I said, clutching the hone.

"Rose, where are you? Are you okay? Did he hurt you? I swear I'll-" I cut him off.

"Sweetheart, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm in Novosibirsk. Where are you?"

"Really? Where?"

"I'm in town. Raiden-"

"I'm coming. I'm in the city as well, with Marco and Joe," he sighed happily into the phone, which made my heart miss a beat.

How'd they know where to find me? Oh well, I'll ask them that later.

"I miss you," I whispered.

"I miss you too, baby," he replied softly.

"Oh, what was with you talking about Sonya and saying…" I cut off because I could hear something strange in the background of his phone. It sounded like he was…struggling. And then I heard a low boom, as if he dropped his phone or something.

"Raiden? Baby, can you hear me?" I said frantically through the phone.

"Rose!" he yelled, but he seemed to be in the distance.

"Don't you dare talk to her! I'll fucking kill you!" he cried. But he wasn't talking to me.

"Raiden!" I yelled.

I heard a scuffling noise again and then I heard someone breathing deeply.

"Raiden?"

"Hello, Roza," Dimitri said harshly.

Oh my God.

"NO!" I screamed.

Dimitri's got Raiden. He'll hurt Raiden to get through to me. Oh God, no.

"Listen very carefully. Or else your Raiden's dead. Meet me in Dipaculao, its in Philippines. We'll be waiting on the beach. It's almost impossible to miss us. If you ever want to see your beloved again, meet me there in four days," and then he hung up.

I was on the verge of crumbing the phone into pieces when I realized I needed back up. I dialed Sonya's number and was thankful that she picked up on the first ring.

Before she could say anything I said, "Sonya, we have a big problem."

A/N: I can update more often now because I'm officially on holidays. I'm really sorry I haven't updated.

Please review :)
