My psycho side

Plans

Maya's POV

   Emotions flash through Rita's eyes changing every micro-second one could almost miss them if they weren't observing. I feel her hesitate but I don't try to change the topic or make it any easier or better for her. I truly want to know what happened.

        "Jeff...he...umm. His men...were able to defeat me and he ordered them to lock me up." Here I thought he loved his sister at least. I gently touch her shoulder and she flinches. Oh no, don't tell me it's what I am thinking.

        "Did he hurt you?" She doesn't answer and it fuels the anger already brewing inside of me.

       "Well?" She still keeps her lips in a tight line. I grip her shoulder harder so she can tell me what happened but she doesn't even when she's in pain. Walker walks in then with a glass of I think lemon juice. He walks towards us and quickly rips my hands of Rita's shoulders.

        "You are hurting her, can't you see?" He hisses. He pulls her closer to his chest and glares daggers at me. I just smirk at him. He's stupid if he thinks I will let her off the hook that easily.

        "Do you know what happened to her? She's injured and do you know who did that to her? " He looks at her and back at me and I give him a smirk.

           "Just as I thought. She didn't tell you. Well I hate to be the one to break it to you but the person she's trying to protect is the same person who did this to her. Jeff did that." He's face drops. He gently pulls her away from his chest and looks down at her. By this time, her face is all soaked in tears, she sniffles and looks down clearly avoiding Walker's eyes.

          "Well there you have it. I wasn't trying to hurt her but get answers from her. She's trying protect that bastard for a brother she has or maybe..." I trail off capturing Walker's attention.

            "Maybe what Maya? Speak up darn it" He snaps literally fuming right now.

            "Jeff likes threatening people...." Before I finish, he turns to Rita questioning her impatiently.

           "Did that jerk threaten you?" He lowers his voice and looks at her with a softness I haven't seen in anyone before except for mom. A heavy cloud forms covering my sight and I shake my head to rid myself of the thoughts.

            "She won't tell you anything Walker, that's how powerful Jeff's threats are."

             "How would you even know? Did you ever meet him? I will kill that man the moment I set my eyes on him."

           "It's not that easy." For the first time Rita speaks up. We both turn to her.

            "Got your tongue back huh?" Walker rolls his eyes clearly displeased with me but this scene seems to please me more than I thought. I have always been termed as heartless and a sociopath and maybe it's that side of me that is here now.

           "Look Walker, I know you think of me as an enemy right now but I am on your side. I met Jeff for only a short while and this is what it cost me." I point to my head.

          "I know for sure how powerful his threats are. Camaya wouldn't have kept silent if it wasn't the case. At least she would have told someone about what happened... that...night. Anyway what I am saying is we should work together to bring him down. He is much stronger than we estimated." He seems to calm down a bit after my speech and sinks to the couch behind him with a big deep sigh.  Rita wipes her face and sits a little further from Walker. We all pretend that the air hanging over us isn't there. It's something thick with anger, revenge, pain and everything in between.

        "So what do you have in mind?" Walker asks as he rubs his bottom lip between his thumb and forefinger. A thing I think he does when he is in deep thought.

        "That I have no idea. That's why I wanted to meet you two." I look at the both of them.

           "Do you really need me to spell it out for you guys?" I rub my temples since I feel an oncoming headache caused by these two... I don't even know how to describe them right now. Just a couple seconds ago they seemed to have brains that actually worked. Okay. I take a seat realizing this will take a while.

            "Rita, since you among us is the only one who can actually get closer to Jeff without much suspicion, maybe you could be our inside informant?"

          "No. Absolutely not." Walker disagrees with the idea before it even registers.

          "Oh come on Walker. She's not in much danger since I am not there anymore. Besides, I have seen her fight before. She sure can take very good care of herself." And I mean it. Despite myself, I admit that she's good.

          "She's right. Jeff never once laid his arms on me expect for when I helped her escape." I smile. She finally admitted it. Walker looks at me in understanding but he never says anything because we both know if we say anything she will go back to not saying anything. I just need to push the right buttons and I will get the info I want.

        "Okay just be very careful. So what's my role in this scheme of yours?"

           "You.Are.The.Backup."

           "You must be kidding."

           "Do I look like am joking?" Rita laughs and Walker shifts his gaze to her which puts her in place but I see her smile after he turns to look at me.

            "You will be the man power Walker. You know I won't be able to handle Jeff on my own. I need someone beside me and you fit that post very well."

            "How about your Prince charming Clark?" I feel my face redden with embarrassment. Did he really have to bring him up right now?
