Slade's POV

"Do you really turn people into wood?" He asked while looking at me in the eye.

"You just found out I was a mafia boss and that's the first thing you ask?" I said in disbelief.

"Yes." He said dead serious.

"Unfortunately, I cannot turn people into wood, I don't even know how to carve." I confessed with a blush, I could tell he was disappointed making me smile slightly.

"So what the fuck am I doing here?" He said calmer than before.

"As I said before, you are wanted by powerful people, people even more powerful than me." I said quietly as to not upset him again.

"Because of my parents?"  I just nodded my head to his question. "What have my parents done?"

"Die."

"Really?" He asked in a bored tone as if I didn't just tell him his parents are dead. "Took them long enough." He said with a chuckle.

"They left everything to you." My legs started to hurt so I sat on the floor. He sat in my desk chair and crossed his legs, he would have of looked sexy if not for the dirty beat up clothes.

"That's the most surprising thing you've said all day Slade." My name sounded heavenly coming from his mouth. He pulled up his sleeves and I could see a cute little dino tattoo on his forearm.

"Do you know what kind of dinosaur that is?" I asked while pointing at his arm.

"Nah I just got it because it was cute." He shrugged. I just nodded. Even though I knew, I didn't wanna seem like a smart ass. "I know you know, go ahead and tell me." He said with a small smirk. He probably guessed from all the dinosaur picture in my office.

I played along, "Ostrich Mimic Ornithomimids."

"Bless you." He joked. I just kept looking at the tattoo, I had the same dinosaur but mine was a lot more realistic "Tell me about him."

"It's the fastest dinosaur ever, it doesn't have teeth, and it's my favorite dinosaur."

"No teeth?! How doors he chew his food?!" He sounded like a distressed child, I found it cute.

"It ate small food like ants and termites, that way it didn't have to chew." He just nodded his head in understanding while his hands held his chin.

"How do you know so much about dinosaurs?"

"I'm stuck in this room all day with nothing but paper work and the Internet." He just nodded.

"What floor are we on?" He asked.

"Three, why?"

"Oh, no reason." He said nonchalant. He opened my drawer and pulled out my gun. My eyes went wide, what was he gonna do with that?? I was suck an idiot to think we were getting along at all, same mistakes different people. He got up from my chair and came towards me with the gun in hand, "You are such a fucking fool." He said as he slowly shook his head. I closed my eyes not being able to look him in the eyes anymore. I suddenly heard the gun go off five times but I didn't feel any pain. I opened my eyes slightly and I saw holes in my wall. "Help my break this wall it's hell a fucking thin." I couldn't move, I was in total shock. "Come on! The guards will be here soon!!" I got up slowly and helped him break the wall of the building with metal objects. "I thought you said third floor?" He said.

"I guessed." He just smiled as he rolled his eyes, and jumped out the wall which was only about 10 feet from the ground.

"Your turn." He said as he reached his hand out to catch.

" It's funny that you think you can catch me." I said as I looked down at him.

"It's funny that you think I can't. If I catch you, you have to spend every day with me until I'm ready to let you go." I laughed.

"And if you don't."

"I'll pay your medical bill and let you have whatever my parents gave me."

"I like those odds." I said just before I jumped out of the wall. I was ready to feel cement against my ass but all I felt was his arms and chest.

"I win." He said with a smug face. "Looks like your stuck with me for awhile."

"Oh no I don't know what I will do." I said sarcastically. "You do know you just broke a mafia boss out of his own office, right?" He just nodded and kept walking. "Put me down."

"No."

"What do u mean no??" He just ignored me and kept walking, I tried pushing myself off of him, he just held me stronger. After a few minutes I got an idea, I suddenly bit his arm  making him drop me on the cement.

"Fuck!" We both said at the same time. I got up quickly and started to run from him.

"Come back here dipshit!" He yelled as he ran after me making me laugh. He started getting closer and closer and before I knew it he was sweeping me off my feet, literally. "You're fast you little shit."

"You're Just slow." I said as we tried to catch our breath. "Fuck, that was awesome! I haven't left that room in almost a year." I said as he just looked at me in pity.

"Why don't you leave more often? No one knows what you look like so you're not in danger."

"People don't know who I am and people don't trust people they don't know. Meaning I have to make them trust me without them seeing me to keep the Medusas safe."

"Well I'm sure you can leave for a few hours to hang with me then I'll take you back before you turn into a pumpkin Cinderella, okay?" He joked.

"Where would we go?" He put me down and searched his pockets for something, finally he pulled out his wallet checked the money, put it back and finally picked me back up.
