Watching the chopper lower onto the helipad, the brunette raises her arms when Victoria takes her bodyguard's hand to climb down safely.

Both women meeting halfway with Rayn peering over her shoulder at the empty helicopter.

"Where are they?" she shouts over the slowing blades.

"It didn't work out."

"What do you mean it didn't work out?"

"I mean it didn't work out between us," she repeats simply. "It just wasn't meant to be."

"No." Rayn catches her wrist. "No you can't say that. You guys were so close. You were a thingー a team."

"They moved on. I should too. It's for the best."

"You don't mean that. Vic, we need them."

"They have someone else in their life now. Besides, I'm married to my work anyway. I spend more time taking care of business than I do anything else. Look, they're happy. It's about time I focused on myself. I'll be alright."

Rayn frowns when she walks alongside her bodyguard into the stairwell, already back to giving him orders with him nodding in affirmation.

"Like hell am I gonna let them go that easily. They won't dare to say no to me."

"He can't wait thirty minutes?" Kaden pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration. "Fine, yes." He ends the call with an irked grunt. "Said he'll wait ten minutes and then he's leaving."

"Well that wasn't the deal," his brother states.

"Oh he knows, but according to Niko he's got people hunting him down. Can't stay in one place for too long."

"We can't be there in ten minutes, we're meeting another guy in ten minutes."

"Yes, thank you, I'm aware of that."

"We're both expected."

"I'm aware of that too."

"I could go." Sierra wanders over after catching the last part of the conversation. "I have to go pick up Hope from Eiza's anyway, I can drop by on the way."

"Are you sure?"

"In and out, sixty seconds." She slips a jacket on.

"Alright." He sighs. "They're not gonna believe you're with me so take this." He places the metal token in her awaiting palm.

"They don't know who I am? I thought the whole world knew about us."

"Precaution, they don't just let anyone in."

"Alright, see you when you get back."

"Text me when you've been."

She hums in acknowledgement on her way to her car, blowing a kiss and grinning when Grayson scrunches his nose in disgust.

Avoiding the drunken bodies swaying on the dance floor, Sierra squints under the blinding neon lights as she approaches the VIP booth guarded by two bodyguards. Both double the size of her and wearing austere glares as they eye her from head to toe.
