Chapter 5:

Carmens POV:

We all heard a groan.

"Hello Kitty's awake." Letty said, causing everyone to look at Ramsey.

"She don't like a hacker to me." Roman said.

"Oh yeah? And what to hackers look like?" Tej asked, taking that comment to offence.

"They not supposed to look.....like that. I'm just saying, like, how they normally wear them lil weird glasses that's all crooked, with pimples all over they face from drinking soda. I mean trust me, with a body like that.. I ain't gonna park it behind a computer" Roman said, causing me to roll my eyes and shake my head. The sexism is unbelievable.

Brian crouched down in front of Ramsey and asked, "How you feeling? Did you hit your head? Feeling nauseous? Ears ringing? No?" She kept shaking her head no, answering all of his questions.

She looked down at her feet, "Where's my shoe?"

"It flew off when you crashed." Brian told her.

"When you start experiencing any of those things, let me know okay?" He told her, walking over to Dom and Letty.

"I don't know whether to thank you for rescuing me or to kick your a** for throwing me off a cliff." Ramsey said, causing my sister and I to chuckle lowly.

"Thank us or kick our a** huh."

"How about you tell us where that device is?"

"I mailed it to a friend, In Abu Dhabi." Ramsey responded. That was easier than I thought it was going to be.

Which Brian agreed to asking, "That was pretty easy. The other team would've tortured you for that information."

"I didn't trust them. I trust you."

"Now why would you trust us?" Letty asked.

"...You barely know us." I said finishing what she was going to say.

"I know enough." Ramsey started. "Ex-cop. Military, something like that. The way you took out those guys, serious training." She said looking at Brian.

"Tech guy, offended by the hacker remark, naturally." She said looking at Tej.

"Mrs. Tech and by the way you both seem to have a natural comfort around each other," she started, looking between Letty and I, "you're sisters."

"Alpha, Mrs. Aplha." She said pointing at Dom and Letty.

Roman stood up and said, "Wrong. Double Alpha, man-candy, You know what I'm saying?"

"Man, sit your candy a** down." Tej told him, standing next to me, grabbing my hand and caressing it.

"The disrespect is real around here."

"Life is binary. Zeroes and ones. Only two things keep a group like this together. Fear or loyalty." Before looking at us all.
"And I do not see a drop of fear among you guys."

"Very impressive. Just one thing, they're not married." Tej said, gesturing to Dom and my sister.

"And they aren't either." Roman added on, pointing to us unknowingly.

"She's so off as crack, you're just gonna roll with it?" Roman asked Tej.
"You're telling me there can't be a double alpha in one group?" Tej ignored him.

"You work for the US government?" Ramsey asked causing my sister and I to chuckle and look at one another.

Dom answers, "We got similar interest."
"Tej call it in." He begun to walk away.
