The moments John's eyes met Stacey's, she knew that he was defeated, but he still stood tall, the two guns in his hands. His suit is roughed up and his hair was scruffy, not that it really mattered to Stacey.

'Gary?'

John seemed as shocked as Stacey was, it seems that John didn't know how close to danger he was, John slowly entered the room, making note that there were others in the room too.

'Lovely to see you John, it's been a while'.

Gary brushed his hand on the back of Stacey's neck and she pulled away from him, 'she's quite beautiful don't you think? Just like Helen?'

John's eyes narrowed, 'how do you know about-', he stopped in the middle of the room, 'you... You had something to do with her?' His eyes had grown wide and Stacey could tell that Gary had struck a nerve. Helen must have been his partner, someone he loved.
Gary pushed past Stacey and approached John, but being mindful of the space between him and John.

'Well, a simple virus made it easy for her to get sick'.

Gary smiled, 'didn't think she'd get cancer, but it worked out all the sa-'.

He dodged a sudden blow from John, and Stacey screamed out as the many guards around them linge towards him.
John was held down, onto his knees in front of Gary, who pulled out a knife.

'You see... I know why I'm here?'

John didn't say a word, but it looked like John wasn't so sure as well. Gary sighed and crouched down in front of John, pressing the knife against his cheek gently.

'Remember that young woman that you killed a few years back? Her name was Elisabeth?'

John seemed to figure out who he was referring to, 'Gary, I never killed her, she killed herse-', before he could finish the sentence, Gary had swiped the knife across John's cheek, and Stacey held her breath as she watched blood seep down John's pale skin. He was still alive and super pissed.

'You caused her death John I-'.

'She tried to kill me-'.

Gary then stood up and went over to Stacey. He pulled her head back and pressed the knife against her jagular and she screamed.

I don't want to die! I don't want to die like this! Please not like this!'

'Gary don't!'

John yelled out, as he tried to force his way out of the gaurds grip, 'say that you killed my sister and I'll spare your lover', Gary sneered, and he pressed the knife against Stacey's throat and began to cut into her skin.

'For fucksake Gary!'

'Say it, or she dies!'

Stacey could feel hot blood seep down her neck, Please! She felt pain and fear all at once.

'Say it! Say that you killed my sist-'.

'Alright! I killed her! I killed your sister!'

John screamed out and Gary finally let go of Stacey, he wipes the blood off of the knife on her top.

Asshole.

'There, was that so hard? Now, I'll let her go, how does that sound?'

Stacey was confused, but she didn't fight back when Gary began to undo her restraints, 'after all, I was only really going to take you out-', he jabbed Stacey, 'if I wasn't able to get to John here, but now that he's in my grasp, you're of no use to me'.
He gave Stacey a smile before pushing her away from him, 'you can go to John if you want, see him die at my hands if you'd like'.
Stacey glared at him, 'you're an asshole, you know?' And Gary shrugged, 'well sweetie, if only my si-'.

'Yeah yeah, if only sister was alive'.

John called out, 'Stacey, that's enough, just go!' But she wasn't going to back off. Gary glared at her, 'careful what you say mis-'.

'Fuck you Gary'.

He approached her slowly, 'well maybe I should kill you then', Stacey could see John struggling, 'no! Leave her alone Gary! Just deal with me!'
Gary laughed and turned towards John, 'well Mr. Jovonovich, you love this bitch?'

Do you Mind!?

Stacey lunged towards him, ramming her whole body straight into Gary, effectively knocking him over. He was taller than her, and she knew that she'd have to catch him off guard in order to tip him over. She ignored John's voice, as she fought threw herself at Gary.

'Get the fuck off of me!'

Gary snarled as he struggled to get to his feet. She had to keep him down, otherwise she would be in trouble.
The one thing she forgot was that he had a knife, she was filled with so much rage that she had attacked him with nothing but her hands.
She fell back when Gary lashed out at her, the knife slashed her cheek and she hissed in pain.

'Stacey, get away from him for godsake!'

John was struggling even harder, trying to break out to get to her.
Gary collects himself, 'you're look death straight in the face right now', he snarled at her and she backed away, blood soaking her cheek, the cut was deeper than she thought.

'I know I am, but so are you'.
