Rules of seduction

That Cocky Prick

The interrogation room is extremely cold. I sit there chewing gum in my mouth. It always helped me calm down and relax. A million thoughts keep racing in my mind until i see someone enter the room.
I......didn't expect him. Was he a cop? He didn't seem like one. His eyes were piercing through me and i could barely keep my poker face on..
Will he be interrogating me? Hell I got lucky I thought to myself.
'Such a sweet girl' the guy thought.
What, I'm extremely confused....he likes me?
'If only I could ask her out for a ride, embrace her slowly and kiss her gently'
His thoughts were making me flushed. He was hot, I wouldn't deny that. Maybe they will let me go now?
And might as well get a date with that guy.
He starts chuckling out of nowhere and winks at me.
'She's all yours Steve' he says and exits the room
I am extremely confused. What is happening?
Who the hell is Steve? Was I too obvious? Did i screw it up?
someone else enter the room this time
'Nice to meet you Lucy Romanoff he greets me
I could hear my heart beating, I knew I was going to end up in jail and I know it was sooner than I ever hoped off. My entire life gone.
They knew my name, hell they would've know everything about me by now.
'Bite me' I say 'I am not talking to the cops'.
Steve seems disappointed and says 'Well you should, we found 1000 dollars in your friends car.'
'Its just a thousand dollars' I say, hoping we could be freed by community service only.
'Theft is a crime and you have been doing it since a long time'
of course they found out about everything I did. All the scams. I am dead. We were never masterminds and left behind trails, I should've known.
'I am sorry, I don't know why we did it.' I apologise and accept defeat.'
'It's good you regret it' says Steve 'I won't waste time Lucy, we dont wanna put you in jail because we know who you are.'
'What do you mean?' I asked confused and scared. They know who I am....?
'We are aware of your skills' shoot they must mean something else right?
'We know you can read minds' Steve says.
WHAT? HOW? What do I do.
I laugh not knowing what to say. 'Very funny' I chuckle.
'You are a terrible liar' says Steve. Shoot. I am done for.
'So what i can read minds. Want me to help you with your crush?' I know I shouldn't have said that and I know it pissed of Steve, but I don't think well in moment of panic..
'This is a prison kid, behave nicely'
'Yes Stevie' I say.
'Its Steve' he sighs 'We want you to help us Lucy'
'You want me to help you?' I say even more confused now. How could I help them? What does he mean?
'Sorry I dont cooperate with the cops' I say, I can't help them, definitely not after what they did.
'Your options are limited kid, give us a chance. We are not your enemies' he says in comforting tone.
'I have some questions' I say.
'Shoot'
'Where is Jacob?' I ask, I wonder if he's fine. He doesnt do well under stress at all.
'Dont worry about him, he was sent home. A gift for I should say' he reassures me.
'The guy with the red hair.....who is he?'
'Oh he is my partner, Ryen. You will see him later if you agree to cooperate.'
'Why would i cooperate with you?' I ask with a cocky tone.
'You and your friend will be able to avoid prison. One mission, then you're a free woman' he says and sits down.
How long could I sit there and pretend I didn't care, of course I did, I dont wanna go to jail. My whole life depended on this descion, I hated the police after what they did, but I cannot deny that this is all my fault.
'Fair enough, I agree' I say and start chewing my gum again.
'Great, now listen..' Before steve could complete I got up and said, 'I wont talk here'
'What' I can tell I am pissing off Steve badly.
'The room's too cold' I say and get up.
I can tell Steve is done with my bullshit but he stands up and says, 'okay where do you wanna go..?'
'Ooo i wanna see your office' I am practicaly clapping my hands with excitement.
He sighs, 'Fine I will show you around'.
He leads me to their investigation room.
'Welcome' he says with a smirk.
Its....awesome and I hate that I like it.
'Like it?' he asks in a cocky tone.
'issok' i say even though we both know i can live here for all my life and not complain about it.
Steve scoffs, 'Do you wanna work here?'
I was about to answer but then I saw him, the guy from before. He didn't even look up when i entered, its like I didn't exist.
'What is she doing here' says Ryen in an annoyed tone.
'Wait, is she our hero?' says one of the members there 'I thought it would be someone more impressive.'
'I change my mind, prison is better' I say in a stoic tone. I can't deal with that Ryen guy. Who does he think he is?
'Get out Trevor, all of you, out.' Steve orderes them all out, 'Excpet you Ryen'.
'Lucy wanted to talk in the office so I brought her here' Steve says approching him.
'Now shes the boss? Two minutes alone and she already manipulated you' Ryen says in a bitchy tone.
Manipulation, he had the audacity to use that word. That cocky prick I swear to god.
'Cocky prick?' He says a little offendedly 'One more word you will end up in a cell'
how did he- right he can read minds too. Should've known that the minute he chuckled in the interrogation room.
I can hear him saying be careful around me kid.
So as a mature adult, I start singing a song.
he sighs, nice try but i already got to know all that I wanted.
The audacity-
'Stop it both of you' Steve says annoyed from us.
'Tell him to stop it' I say angrily.
'Told you that this wasn't a good idea, few cheap cliche lines and she was practically wet. Can't expect that won't happen again.' Ryen says that sentence as if he is a genius. Wet my ass.
'Oh you wish mr. prick, I was only looking for an opportunity to get out'.
'Your red cheeks were saying something else'
Ryen says with a smirk.
That's it, jail can't be worse than this right? I hope so because I am not working with that cocky guy.
'I can't' I say almost about to cry.
'Told you she wasn't ready'
'ready for what' I scoff.
'to become a spy' says Steve.
'WTH A SPY' suddenly working with prick doesn't seem so bad. 'WILL YOU TEACH ME HOW TO HOLD A GUN? WITH A LEATHER COSTUME?'
'Hold your horses' says Ryen 'You are going to work undercover in a high school.
Oh no, 'What? I can't' i am suddenly panicking 'I need a minute to go to the washroom' I say and run out
'If you leave the building we will find you' I could hear Steve from behind.
As I enter the washroom I start to breakdown. I look at myself in the mirror only to be surrounded by my high school memories.
I want to quit, but a voice inside of me tells me to think about the others, Jacob....and her....
I get out and go back to the office.
'Alright, I am in' I say.
