Signs of the past - Ash Lynx x Reader

Chapter 30

Your POV:
"You'll let me buy you a drink now, won't you? Mr. Lynx." Foxx asked Ash.

Like fuck he will.

"Where are you taking them?" I asked when they were loading some of Ash's and other members helping us into a truck.

"I'd worry about myself if I were you two." Foxx replied.

"Don't worry about them. Dr. Mannerheim will take good care of them." Foxx added.

Bullshit.

"What?" Ash said, slightly shocked.

As was I. Mannerheim wouldn't take care of them. Not at all. Kong then got hit in the head with the butt of a gun as he wasn't moving fast enough for them. Max crouched down on his knees next to him before speaking.

"Soldiers shouldn't treat hostages like that." Max shouted.

"Too bad, but the international laws don't apply to us. We don't "exist", you know." Foxx said.

"Now then. Take Mr Dino's son and daughter inside. I'd like a word with them." Foxx ordered the soldiers.

"There's nothing to talk about." Ash said in a serious tone.

"I have nothing to say to the likes of you." I spat back.

"You'll both change your mind." Foxx said to us both.

Both of us were then forced inside and tied up on chairs. The rope wrapping around our necks. It was uncomfortable, yeah, but I had a really bad feeling about how they tied us up.

"To think you've both killed so many of my seasoned men. A young boy and girl with such innocent faces." Foxx said, nodding at the soldiers behind him to go outside I guess.

He puffed out smoke in our faces before speaking.

"You're like a leopard. A wild demon of the forests that the jungle dwellers dread the most. But it's graceful and beautiful. And you, a snake. Elegant in killing and in nature." Foxx said to us both.

"Those who hate us call us the devil, reaper, whatever." I start.

"But you, I will not let you say it. We don't go around carving out eyes from people who are still alive." Ash finished.

Foxx then punched us both before pulling on the rope tying us up, strangling us as he did so.

"Why do you both resist the monsieur? You're both talented, young, and beautiful. You could have anything you want." Foxx said.

"Anything? Only on his agenda. We have nothing to do with it." Ash replied.

"Why don't you join hands with me, Ash and Y/N?" Foxx asks.

Then, his grip slackened.

"If you become the head of the Foundation, and Y/N the underboss, the world will bow before you. I'll take over the shady business, you two won't have to soil your hands. Join me, and the world will be ours." Foxx said.

We both then started laughing before Ash spoke again.

"Are you serious? I'd rather kiss a slug than join hands with you." Ash replied.

"Nah, I think I'd much rather eat a slug." I replied.

Foxx did not like that answer and used the rope to strangle us both again, though tighter this time.

"The son and daughter of a distinguished man shouldn't speak like that." Foxx said, letting go of the rope again.

"I noticed the monsieur seems to have a trump card against the US government. You two know what it is, don't you?" Foxx said as me and Ash were coughing.
