Leyna
She darted out of the elevator before I even got the chance to say a word. Correction a syllable. That was how quick she ran out.
" And the chase begin." I muttered. I walked out and managed to catch a glimpse of Reyna before the car drove away.
" And you just lost your date. Wonderful." I said aloud. Because it really is great when your friends get you all hyped up about this amazing girl for at least two weeks, get canceled on twice, and finally have a date with said girl only for her to ditch you the second you have a conversation. Just wonderful. Really.
I turned back to the building and took the stairs back to the car. I was not dealing with that stupid elevator again. I got to the car and drove back to the small apartment I had. I had just settled in for bed when I started getting called by Reyna.
Now there were two things going through my head. Pick up or Ignore until the message gets across that you are not a happy camper.
And I would have been fine ignoring but the calls just kept coming. Until finally I get tired of the ringing.
" You have reached the life-like voice mail of Leo Valdez. Please leave a message if you have been calling me for the past ten minutes and ignoring the fact that I don't feel like talking. Thank you and please. Stop. CALLING!" I say.
" Well maybe you can come get this girl." A gruff voice says.
I sit up. " Who is this?"" I ask. " Where's Reyna?"
I hear him scoff. " Asleep in the backseat of my cab having a fit or something. Listen can you come get her? I don't need my image ruined by this chick."
I sit up and quickly get changed while talking to the guy. " Yeah sure. Where are you?"
" Uh I pulled into a parking structure across from some seafood restaurant... Come to the Sea. Spelled S-E-A."
How convient. That's where I was planning on taking Reyna to dinner. " I know where that is. Uh what level?"
" Top. Only place open on a Friday night."
" Okay. I'll be there is a few. Just don't wake her up. She has a black belt in something... I think Nijutsu."
I heard him laugh. " What the hell is that?"
I closed the door to my apartment and ran down to my car. " I don't know. All I know is that she is a certified Ninja. Okay? Just leave her be."
With that I hung up the phone and drove back to the parking place.
Reyna's P.O.V.
I was being dragged somewhere. I was freaking out. And I still had the bag on my head which made breathing hard and seeing impossible.
When I finally stopped. They pulled the bag off and threw me into a closet. My hands were bound but my feet weren't. Okay so it was a good idea to wear the heels. I kicked the door as hard as I could. I kept kicking until I was small splinters coming out of it. What was strange was that no one was trying to get me to stop kicking. You think people who are kidnapping you would know better than to let you break down a door. Especially a certified Ninja I may add.
I kept kicking until the a hole in the door was made large enough for me to crawl through. I crawled out and found a piece of glass to cut the rope on my wrists. I sat down grabbed it and started cutting. My hand slipped and I cut my wrist by accident. It wasn't deep and it didn't cut anything vital. I looked around and saw I was in an old warehouse.
Large, windows too high up to climb through. Garage doors but too heavy to lift. I heard a noise and I took of my heels, picked them up and started running. It could have been a mouse but I honestly could give too shits right now. It might have been one of those men.
I found the door. It was made of strong wood. I looked around and saw that there was small beam. Metal but not too heavy to lift. Not very sharp though. My heels aren't sharp enough to break through the door. I grabbed the beam and started to bang it against the door multiple times.
I heard low whispers. I tried to ignore them but they kept saying names of people I know.
Stop it Reyna! I thought. They know you're trying to get out. They are going to try to get you away from the door so they can lock you up again! Focus!
I wanted to focus on it but I couldn't help myself. I followed the whispers. There were two large men and one women. Tall and very muscular.
" You idiots! I told you to save her for last." The woman hissed. " She is the smartest. You might have just ruined the whole thing!"
" This might have been the only chance to have her alone! And off guard! Be happy we got her instead of that Jason guy!" The shorter guy said.
The woman rubbed her forehead. " Fine. But next time I tell you to get someone, I want that person. Not the first person off guard. Now go check on her while I see how everyone else is doing. I need to get Leo next. You stay here." She said to the shorter one. The taller one was leaving when he shouted.
" She got out!"
I ran. Whatever was going on I was not going to be the first victim. I heard loud, pounding footsteps.
I came up to one door and tried to open it. Failing. I turned around. The taller one was coming the fastest. If I jump at the right moment then maybe I can escape him. I jumped just as he was coming a foot close to me. And it worked. He barreled straight through the door. But the shorter one got me before I could escape.
He grabbed me and threw me to the floor. The woman came up and kicked me multiple times before telling him to take me back to the other room.
" Make sure she doesn't leave. Do what ever you have to do." She kicked me one more time.
He grabbed me and threw me into another room. Locking the both of us in there.
Leo's P.O.V.
I drove through until I got to the top and found the cabbie waiting in front of is cab.
I parked next to him.
" Hey I'm Leo." I said.
" She's inside. Having some fit or something."
I opened the cab door.
And there Reyna was. Asleep with a face of either horror or confusion.
" What happened?" I asked him.
" Well she told me her address and it had only been ten minutes when she just lolled over and fell asleep. I figured I would call the last person she was on the phone with and that was you buddy. Again. I need her out. And a hundred dollars."
I looked at him. " Excuse me?"
He scoffed. " Look kid. I left the meter running. I'm still on the job. Now you can pay the hundred or I'll call the police and say you were gonna kidnap her or something. I can get pretty creative."
I pulled my wallet out and handed him the hundred I was going to use for the dinner I planned for me and Reyna. " Happy? No will you please help me get her out?" I asked.
He helped me getting Reyna into my car. I drove back to her place. I looked in her coat and found she didn't have the keys. Okay so my place.
Now this is tricky. Because the place I live is filled with families and old ladies. Now considering that its past midnight they should all be asleep it will still seem strange to my doorman that I'm carrying a random girl, who is asleep, into the complex.
I check in quickly. And I mentally high-fived myself. The door guy was asleep. I quickly picked Reyna out of the car and ran into the elevator. It was a long wait to get to my floor. I walked to my apartment to found I was smart and left it unlocked.
Typically it is a terrible idea to leave your door unlocked, in this case, it was miracle because I didn't have to set Reyna down.
Now she is not at all fat or anything but having to carry a person for over ten minutes gets a bit tiring so I kinda threw her on my sofa, by accident of course! But it sadly woke her up.
She sat straight up.
" What the hell is going on Valdez?" She demanded.
I tried to act natural. " Well after you ditched me in the elevator and hoped into a cab, you passed out in the back and cabbie called me to come pick you up. You left you keys inside you place. So I had to take you here. By the way, your dogs are a wonderful security system. I mean the second I came into view with you they started barking like crazy. Hell I was about drop you and run."
Reyna stood up and dug into her pocket to show her house keys. " I guess you only looked in my coat."
" Well I figured it would have been safer to just stick with the coat. Want some coffee?"
She scrunched up her nose. It was kinda cute. " God no. That stuff is vile. Do you have any hot chocolate?" I gave her a look.
" Not only do you call coffee vile but you want hot chocolate? Were you some lab experiment gone wrong or something?" I asked.
She smiled. " No. I was naturally born. And I have never had a taste for coffee. Too bitter. I prefer sweets."
" Well you are lucky I keep a stash of instant hot chocolate."
I got the drinks ready and handed hers.
" No marshmallows?" Reyna asked.
" What are those little things floating in it?"
" Those are the gross processed ones." She said in a duh voice.
I rolled my eyes. " Hey be happy I have hot chocolate okay? So do you want to explain why you suddenly passed out in the back of a cab?" I asked.
She looked down. " Uh I've had a problem with blackouts and passing out for about a year now."
" So is this just spontaneous?"
She set took a sip and set down her mug. " I guess. Normally I can sorta feel when one is coming but not always."
" What started them?" I asked.
She smiled in a sad way. " One secret at a time okay? Mind if I stay here for the night?" She asked.
" I guess. Normally I don't allow coffee haters to be here."
She laughed.
I smiled. " You can take my room and I can take the couch if you want."
" Is this high school? I can take the couch."
" It's not high school. It's called being a gentleman. And trust me this couch is twenty years old. I don't think you want to break you back."
" Fine." She walked over and kissed my cheek.
" Goodnight Leo." She said.
