A/N: ENJOY!

Chapter 10

Mercedes closed her eyes, rubbing her temples. "No! No, I did not agree to just sit back and let you go put yourself in danger." She paced the floor shaking her head. "Not on your life Evans!"

Sam sat on the bed with a smile. "Mercedes."

"Don't Mercedes me! Sam, this is your life we are talking about!"

Sam nodded listening to her go on and on about why leaving her behind was wrong and he couldn't help but smile at how adorable she was being.

"Sam! Are you even listening to me!" She said, placing her hand on her hips.

Sam nodded standing from the bed. "Of course I am listening Merce, but this is for the best." He said pulling her close to him.

Mercedes tried to pull away from him. "Sam, I can't just sit back and do nothing."

Sam kissed her neck. "Uh huh, I can understand that."

"We are a team so I should be right there beside you!" She said frowning.

Sam started to unbutton her shirt. "I understand Mercedes."

Mercedes sighed. "You understand?"

"Uh huh." He said, kissing a trail down her shoulder.

"So you are going to let me come with you?"

Sam pulled her shirt completely off, nipping at her neck. "No."

Mercedes pulled away from Sam but he pulled her back against him, nipping at her neck, chewing her ear lobe. "Baby, I want to keep you safe."

"The only way that is possible is if I'm there with you." She countered absentmindedly tilting her head and letting out a soft moan. "I can be helpful… a distraction or something."

"No you won't, they want you baby, and when they see you they will try to kill you." Sam whispered in her ear as his front hit her back, thrusting himself gently into her. "I need to protect you."

"Mmm, then… umm I should be there because I can draw them out then run away." She mumbled grinding against him.

Sam let his hand move down her shoulder and over to her breast, reaching into the cup and tweaking her nipple. "The answer is no, Mike and I are trained for this, you aren't. You are staying here."

Mercedes rolled her head back and moaned. "I am n-not st-staying here alone." She stammered, enjoying how good it felt when he touched her.

"You are, it's safer this way." He whispered, letting his other hand sneak into her yoga pants. "I can't lose you baby." He hissed, running his finger over her clit.

Mercedes shuddered. "Th-that'd n-not going to work!"

Sam nodded. "I know you want to help…" he said as he ran his finger down her slit, pushing it deep inside of her. "You are staying here baby." He moaned as he tugged at her nipple.

Mercedes took in a sharp breath. "N-no, I'm… I'm go-going." She replied breathlessly.

"Not gonna happen." Sam growled as he sucked on her neck, working his finger deep inside of her as he added another finger.

She felt her knees buckle and fell forward onto the bed, trying to stifle a moan. "This isn't playing fair."

Sam smiled, flipping her over. "Life isn't about being fair, it's about protecting you." He said moving between her thighs and removing her pants.

Mercedes tried to wiggle away but he grabbed her ankle and pulled her back. "The only way this is happening is if I get to go with you."

Sam licked his lips moving to slide her panties off with his teeth. His eyes never left hers as he did, tossing them to the side, he kissed his way up her thigh. "No."

Mercedes moved up further on the bed, sitting up and crossing her legs. "Then this isn't happening." She said squirming under his gaze.

Sam spread her legs. "I am both keeping you here while I have my way with you, and keeping you here to be safe Mercedes."

Mercedes shook her head. "You can do that without having to have your way with me." She countered but she didn't move away from him.

Sam nodded and stood. "Okay." He said removing his shirt, and then he took his time stepping out of his pants and boxers. He stood in front of her stroking himself. "Guess you will stay here safe and sound. And I will stand right here, and take care of myself."

Mercedes crossed her arms over her chest, shrugging and looking away. "I don't care what you do because I'm not staying."

Sam moved over to her, pulling her up to him. "Mercedes, I want to keep you safe. If anything happened to you I wouldn't know how to handle it. I know you are a strong, beautiful woman, but I need you to be strong for me right here. Please." He linked her hands with his. "I know it's been a whirlwind for you and me, but what I feel is real and I will protect it, you, with my life. Please let me focus on my sister and save her, knowing you are here safe."

Mercedes looked at him, really listening to him and sighing. "Okay but I still want to be close…" She said pulling him down and kissing him.

Sam kissed her back wrapping his arms around her. "What do you mean close?" He asked, pushing her towards the bed.

"In the car… or city?"

Sam hovered over her, spreading her legs. "Okay baby…I will put you up in a hotel."

"Just so you know this isn't set until you give a really good reason to stay in that hotel." She said teasingly, running her hands along his chest and down his stomach before grabbing his dick and stroking it.

"The reason is if I put you up in the hotel, I know you are safe, and I can come back up there and have my way with you," He groaned. "I will make you cum so many times that you will forget your name." He let his hand reach between them and stroked her clit. "I will give you everything and anything baby."

"Then do it." She challenged.

"Oh you wanna test it out? Get a teaser about what is gonna happen when I victory fuck you all over that hotel?" He took her lips to his, kissing her hungrily, teasingly before moving to her shoulder and down to her chest. "Mmm I love your body." He moaned, removing her bra and sucking on her nipple."

"Oh God…" She hissed, arching into his touch.

Sam smiled moving down her stomach and spreading her legs moving between them and blowing on her clit. "I have been dying to taste you all day baby." He said leaning into her and running his tongue over her clit.

"Sam!" She arched up tugging at his hair.

Sam smirked as he worked his way to her slit. Hearing Mercedes encourage him he gripped her thighs tossing them over his shoulders and hungrily ravished her pushing her over to the edge, hearing and feeling her cum but not letting up, needing to get at least one more out of her.

Mercedes tugged at his hair to move him back up to her, but Sam stayed where he was, taking control of her body, moaning against her as he pushed her further to another orgasm.

"Come on baby, cum for daddy against so I can taste more of you." He coaxed her, needing to know he could pull the sounds and actions out of her.

Mercedes screamed arching up as she gripped the sheets, hips moving against his lips.

Sam smiled moving from between her legs smiling as she fell back but he had no intention on letting her off the hook that easily. Moving up her body he kissed her as he flipped them over and pulled her up his body so she was straddling his face.

"Sam…" She hissed, gripping the headboard. "I don't, I umm."

"Uh uh you told me to prove it, and that's what I am gonna do baby." He gripped her thighs, flicking her clit feeling her legs shake beneath him. "Mmm ride my tongue baby." He murmured before he shoved his tongue inside of her.

Mercedes felt her head fall back as Sam moved her hips for her slowly, then she sped up needing more. "Yes!" She cried out gripping the headboard tighter as she rode his face.

"Cum for me!" Came his muffled demand and she came hard, toes curling as she fell backwards onto the bed.

Sam smiled, spreading her legs, looking down to her as she stared back up at him, hair flowing wildly around her, breath ragged. "You look perfect." He said as he lined himself up with her and thrust inside of her. "So good baby, so good."

Sam slid his pants on, smiling at a sleeping Mercedes before it fell because now he needed to get his head on the mission. He walked out of the bedroom, seeing Mike sitting there with his headphones on and chuckled.

"Hey dude." Sam said nudging and Mike turned slipping his headphones off.

"Ahh, silence. I take you two came to a compromise?" He asked smirking.

Sam chuckled. "We did. She's agreed to stay at a hotel while we get Stacey and Marley out but we need to have an airtight plan."

"Well it's a good thing I know the layout of the compound and they don't know I switched because Tina made me."

"Maybe we could use that… stage a few pictures of me and Cedes? I'm sure they want proof right?"

Mike nodded. "That could work but has she told you about her parents?" He asked.

"Just that they were retired and that her dad might've worked for some unsavory people. Why?"

"Her father used to work for Tanaka… this makes more sense on why they were hunting her the way they were. She's an asset and the best leverage."

Sam sat back and sighed. "So that's why they were trying to kill her to get to her parents."

Mike shrugged. "Or they wanted to send a message, she has a sister with kids… they usually go after a single one first them escalate. So her sister's kids would be next… we can't let them get those kids."

Sam nodded. "The question is, are they trying to get her parents to kill or to recruit?"

"I think it's personal, her parents quit working with them even after they threatened their family. Her parents are really connected so they've been able to keep them at bay but… this shit with Justin put a very large mark on them." Mike replied.

"Okay, so what if we get in there under the guise of you having taken care of her and bringing me in to either work for them or die. If they hired you, I am sure they would love an FBI agent."

Mike thought it over before sighing. "You can't go in with that pretty face." He said smirking.

Sam laughed. "Is this gonna be payback for Houston? Dude that was what? Five years ago?"

Mike stretched and shrugged. "I was supposed to be home putting a baby in my wife and you kicked me in the balls."

"First, we appreciate you being here. Second, we had to make the fight look real and someone yelled for me to do it. I did get you ice and apologize." He laughed.

"Tough, I would have three kids but I only have two." Mike said smiling before punching Sam in the face. "I won't break anything I swear and unlike you, I'll make sure you can give Mercedes plenty of kids." He added punching him again this time slightly harder.

Sam gripped his jaw shaking his head. "I guess we are doing this. I can't have them thinking I went down without a fight. If I did, they won't take me seriously." He said swinging on Mike and connecting with his chin.

"Well you know I've always liked a good fight." Mike replied, punching him in the gut then sneaking another hit to his left jaw.

Sam laughed, spitting out the blood and stepping back narrowly missing a hit to his head and punching Mike in the side and then elbowing him in the shoulder.

Mike groan and shook his head. "Still predictable I see. After all that training, you still fight like a bitch." Mike teased, hitting him quickly three more times before getting him a head lock.

"Oh see I was going easy on you, but now I am gonna kick your ass." He said pushing out of the headlock. Sam charged him into the wall.

Mike laughed. "Typical." He said head butting him, then swiftly crouching to tackle him. After Mike slammed Sam on the floor he began hitting him in the abdomen before one final blow to the nose.

Mercedes woke up hearing crashing noises and grabbed Sam's shirt, putting it on as she walked out the room, seeing Sam and Mike fighting. "Lord, what in the world is happening here? Do I have to call Tina again?"

Mike looked up in horror. "Oh for the love of everything, don't call T. It's a part of our plan, I need to rough him up…" Mike explained.

Sam wiped his nose looking at her. "It's alright baby, Mike just has to make it look like he won."

Mercedes side-eyed them both folding her arms. "You both look tore the hell up."

"Look like, dude I'm still handsome you look like shit." Mike joked standing up and helping him up as well.

Mercedes sighed. "Let me go get something to clean y'all up, unless looking a hot mess is what you all were going for?"

Sam laughed. "Nah you can help, it will just look like Mike won and spared me. It still works."

Mike rolled his eyes. "I will say if he's tired… it'll be more convincing and they're not expecting me back for another three hours so… you could help him in that way being that you wear the pants in the relationship." He teased, wiping his lip.

Mercedes blushed, shaking her head as Sam pulled her close. "I have no problem with that." He teased.

Mercedes rolled her eyes tossing Mike a gauze. "I will tire him out, don't worry."

She pulled Sam back into the room and pushed him on the bed as she pulled the first aid kit to her and she straddled him. "Can't believe you put my ass to sleep just to go out and fight with Mike." She said, wiping the blood off of his face.

'Well to my defense, I didn't know we were going to fight and you told me to prove myself." He teased, nipping at her lips before wincing.

"Mmm That you did." She smiled, wrapping her arms around him. "Thank you for doing this Sam. I know I wish I could be there but thank you."

Sam smiled and kissed her. "I hate to admit it but Mike has one heavy punch." He said, chuckling.

"He was about to feel my left hook had you not clarified it was a part of your plan." Mercedes said, hugging him close. "Now let's get you good and tired before ya'll do this thing."

Sam smirked. "I bet you were gonna kick his ass."

Mercedes smiled, swirling her hips against him. "Oh I was gonna kick both ya'll asses for disturbing my sex coma."

Sam laughed. "Don't worry, I'll put you in another."

Mercedes kissed him softly and stood. "Not before you take me to that hotel. Don't think you gonna sex me up and leave me here." She smirked. "You better hurry, you only have less than three hours."

"Then we better get you to that hotel."

Sam sighed staring at the dark building, he and Mike were outside about to head in and put their plan to work. He had kissed Mercedes goodbye, though she was asleep and placed a call to his mom, letting her know where Mercedes was and the plan, in case things went wrong.

He looked over to Mike. "you ready for this?"

Mike sighed. "We only have one shot to get this right. Remember they're gonna want to see your face then they're going to put you in the basement. You will only have an hour to get back out. Here." He said handing him the handcuff key. "They put the girls on the opposite side of the compound and with you here security won't be guarding them."

"Okay, and where will you be? You need to get out too, I can't have something happen to you and then Tina and Mercedes would be on my ass." Sam said looking over to his old friend.

"I'll be fine because you're going to knock me out when I go looking for you. As soon as you get them out the alarm will trigger and you will only get one chance to make it look real."

Sam nodded. "Yeah make it look like you tried to stop me, then tell them they should have had better security and quit yeah I know the game. Just be safe, man." Sam placed the in his palm, the moment they go to pat him down he will put it in his mouth. Thankfully his mother taught him that so-called magic trick when he was 10. "Let's do this."

Mike nodded before balling his fist and catching Sam off guard by punching him in the face. "Sorry man, they're gonna want some fresh blood." He said before getting out and walking over to get Sam out. "Hope you're a better actor than you are a fighter."

"Go to hell man." Sam spat as Mike pulled him up. In case anyone was watching he tugged his arm away from Mike. "I can walk on my own asshole." He said walking inside with a limp. Lesson two from good ole mom. If you seem more hurt than you actually are, they will underestimate you.

"I knew hiring him was the best decision I made." Justin said smirking as he watched Mike drag in Sam. "Where's the bitch?"

Mike knew that was to get a rise out of Sam so he shoved him at Justin's feet. "She got in the way of my bullet." He answered, handing over the pictures they'd taken of Mercedes.

Justin looked at the picture smiling. "Nice, one less problem I have to deal with. Take this piece of shit to the basement, we'll have fun with him later." He instructed before tossing Mike two big black duffle bags. "I doubled your pay and got some whiskey with your name on it."

Mike looked at the bag smirking. "Thanks, let me get this asshole to the basement and I'll meet you there."

"I got a few girls waiting." Justin said and Mike shot him a bright smile.

"Hopefully better than the last bunch." He replied picking Sam up and dragging him downstairs to the basement.

Sam struggled against Mike as his cuffed hands were pulled up by Mike. As they made their way to the basement Sam took in the layout, memorizing it as well as the map he studied before. "They are to the left of here, correct?" He whispered.

"Yes, to the left on the second floor. Oh and I swear to God if you tell Tina that I was around other women I will kill you."

"Yeah yeah if you die I will tell her that and other shit I just make up." Sam threatened.

Mike chuckled. "Good luck man." He said before walking out and barely closing the door, so Sam could get out easier.

Sam waited ten minutes before taking the cuffs off and set a timer on his watch before peeking his head out to make sure the coast was clear. He eased out of the door, slowly walking up the stair to the left before making a run for it. He had to make it across a long hallway before he reached the other side of the compound, luckily for him there wasn't any security like Mike said.

When he reached the far side, he went up the flight of stairs and looked around. "Fuck." He said under his breath.

There were at least seven rooms and he wasn't sure which one had the girls in and he couldn't risk going through them all so he chose to do something that would alert his sister. He walked to the middle of the hallway before tapping on the wall four times then again three more times. He waited for a few moments before repeating the action again. This was something they would do with their dad when they'd play hide and seek to trip him up and she would know it was him because he taught it to her.

Stacey laid on the bed, she had been locked up for at least two days since Mason was gone and she was getting stir crazy, the longer she spent away from him the more clearer it became that this was a mistake.

When she heard a knock on the wall she swore she was hallucinating, there was no way Sam was there, no one was coming for her.

Marley sat up looking around. "Do-do you hear that?"

Stacey's eyes widened. "Sam? Oh my God, Sam?!" She ran to the door and banged three times, waited and then four more, which was the response he gave her. "Please let it be you…" She prayed out loud stepping back and taking Marley's hand.

Sam heard the response coming from the fifth door on the left and quickly ran to it. He swung the door open seeing his sister and another woman he assumed was Marley before finally letting out a breath.

"We don't have much time, can you run?" He asked.

"Ye-yes we can. Come on Marley." Stacey said. She wanted to hug her brother tight but she knew now wasn't the time. "You are late, big brother. I almost thought you weren't coming." She joked so relieved that he was there.

Sam looked over his shoulder smiling. "I didn't know you were here." He said, leading them down the stairs where they ran straight into Mike. "Go out the door, I'll handle this." He threw the car keys to Stacey.

Stacey nodded, taking the keys and pulling Marley out of the building.

Sam smirked. "See you on the other side." He said, balling his fist and punching Mike with enough force to make it look real. Mike fell back and Sam took that as his chance to catch up with the girls.

Sam ran out but stopped right in his tracks when he was met by Justin standing there shaking his head.

"Good luck getting past me." He said holding a gun up aimed directly at Sam's head.

Welll... that didn't pan out too well!
