That week, Moonlight worked day in and day out in Lektro to make sure Reena would be okay. In fact, for a whole day after Moonlight talked to Tequila, Reena hadn't woken up but when she did, Moonlight was over her trying to dress her wounds which Reena responded to by getting a bright red face and grabbing his arm.

Moonlight looked at her and feeling a little lively when she grabbed him, he got close to her face and smiled. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you."

Reena looked at him in the eyes and pushed him back with what strength she could muster which led Moonlight to laughing quite a bit as Reena sat up slowly. She stared at him in embarrassment until he sat up and snickered at her. "What the... What the hell, Moonlight?" Reena huffed as she rubbed her face and looked at the needle in her arm.

Moonlight explained the situation that day and at the end of that week, Reena began to get restless. She stayed in the stash, hiding like a scared rabbit in a burrow from a man who may have been taller than her. Who may have even been stronger. But had used a cowardly bastards tactic to kidnap her!

Moonlight walked into the stash and Reena was balled up in the corner, leaning on the wall, and looking pissed off. Noticing this, Moonlight thought that she would say something and when she didn't, he looked over at her. "Reen?" He called out to her.

She didn't say anything but when she finally did, she got up and walked over to him. "I want a kill order on Rambo!"

Moonlight looked at her and looked away but having processed what she said, he took a double take. "What?"

"I follow your orders. You're my leader. But Rambo should be following your orders too and he isn't! He kidnapped me and tried to kill me! I want a kill order on him! Please!"

Moonlight grabbed her upper arms. "No." He said firmly before walking away and when Reena followed him, he turned to her.

"Moonlight. Please. Rambo is a cowar-" Reena was silenced by Moonlight grabbed her upper arms tightly and backing her into a wall. She tried to push him off but he only tightened his grip and only released her when he knew she was cornered.

While she was cornered, he removed his grip from her arms and pressed his left hand under her side and his right hand rested firmly against her neck. "Moonlight! What are you doing!?" She yelled as she pushed on his chest, her heart thumping out of her chest.

He turned her head away from him and whispered in her ear. "When you can get out of this, you can kill Rambo." He said as he let go of her.

Reena leaned against the wall, looking at Moonlight as he turned away and finally just left into the other room.

When she was gone from the room, Moonlight placed a hand over his mouth and sighed into his glove. He ran a hand through his hair and shook his head.

In the other room, Reena sat on the mattress and covered her face. "This is so dumb. I should be able to protect myself. But... with him, I..." She whined and laid on the mattress looking at the ceiling.
