After Scarlett left me on the roof I realised the actual fuck-up I had made.

Siding with Scarlett's father is the utmost stupidest thing I have ever done in my entire life. And I've done some stupid shit. 

She left me to revel in my emotions and actually realise how badly I hurt her.

She's wondering the streets of Barcelona in nothing but her freaking underwear and I'm sitting in an air-conditioned hotel room drinking a whiskey. 

"She's on foot, sir. Heading into the corner shop on Marlow Avenue." My friend Jackson said, knocking on the door. I nodded, "Grab her, alive. Do not harm her or I will shoot each of your fingers off one by one. Understand?" 

Jackson nodded, "Got it." 

He left and I downed my drink, getting up off the leather couch and following Jackson down the hall.

"We're flying back to New York, tonight. No interruptions."

At least she had clothes and shoes. My thoughts of her walking around naked have been squashed.

I need her back. I know she's mad at me right now but it's not safe. 

Suddenly, the doors of my office were burst open, and an angry looking Cassidy charged through, holding her phone up to my face.

"Tell me why my best friend is wandering around the streets of Barcelona alone while you're here getting drunk at two in the afternoon?" She fumed, waving her screen around.

I grabbed her phone, showing a small circle moving in a straight alone. "You're tracking her?" I yelled, "I've been tracking her this whole time. What, you think I'd let her do this alone?" Cassidy rolled her eyes, "I learned that shit the hard way." 

I growled, plugging her phone into my computer.

Her database loaded up on my screen and I watched Scarlett moving around, turning corners and ducking into alleyways.

"We're flying back to New York tonight, so I need her here, safe with me before we do that." 

Cassidy scoffed, "Yeah, goodluck with that. She hates you." She had a smirk on her face. My jaw ticked with anger, "I hate myself too, trust me."

It was nearing sundown. 

I had every single one of my men roaming the streets looking for her. They all had her logged into their phones, GPS'ing her every move.

I was with Cassidy, walking alongside her as we watched street vendors close their shops and restaurants open theirs.

"You know, I may hate you with a burning passion and want to spit on you every time I see you..." I looked over to Cassidy, who wasn't looking at me. 

"But you're a good guy, Kai. And as much as it kills me to say this, I think you're really good for her." 

I smiled, a warm feeling invading my heart. Maybe it's the heat, or the insane love I feel for Scarlett, but I wanted the feeling to last forever.

"Thanks Cass." I smiled, "I'm really sorry things ended how they did... last time. I did actually like you. As a friend, of course." I winked. She chuckled, "Don't flatter yourself." 

At least there was peace between us now. 

"Wait, Regenance street? Isn't that in New Caledonia? The one where all the massive movie stars live?" Cassidy points, looking closer at her phone. 

I nod, "Yeah, why?" 

"Why the hell is Scarlett is New Caledonia?" 

My head whips to my phone, a sinking feeling growing in my stomach as I realise it may not be her. "I thought you were tracking her?" I asked.

Cass looked just as horrified as I did, as she gave me a small nod, "I thought I was too." She swallowed, "It was hooked into the loop of her bra." 

She was still wearing the bra on the roof when I last saw her, but it's been hours since then. "You don't think she would've taken it off do you?" Cass asks me.

I shake my head, "She may hate me but she's not stupid." I stop walking, "She knows we're her only chance of getting out of here, and besides, she likes you, why would she take off the one thing she know's is still helping her?" 

Cass began to panic as I made a few phone calls, getting everyone to meet by the train station in twenty minutes, "Come on." I said, "Lets go find our girl." 

And so we headed off in direction of the train station. Silence bestowed upon us. We had nothing to say. We thought we had her.

No wonder none of us were getting close.

"So, if there's a chance Scar is still in Barcelona, where the hell is her bra?" Cass asked. I shook my head, "That's what I'm wondering. She's not dumb, she's still here." 

I heard a few grunts and words if disapproval emitting throughout the room. I raised my head, "If anybody has a problem with this mission, you can kindly wait for me here." I yelled, heads turning to face me, "I explained this to you before you all willingly, got on a plane and got your asses over here." 

"If you do not comply with what I am telling you, you will be killed. Trust me on that." I threatened.

The room was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.

It wasn't until a train drove past, shaking the entire room that I snapped myself out of the cold-blooded killer act. 

"I need teams of three. One at the airport, one at the apartment and one with me. Understood?" 

Cassidy stood idly by my side, watching and waiting for me to give her an order. "What do I do?" She asked. "You stay here." 

We were about to depart, until the chord-less phone attached to the wall began to ring. Everyone was silent, "Nobody move." 

The place we were in was an abandoned train station just a few minutes out of the city. We were hiding inside the old building, sweating and angsty.

It doesn't help we're basically on a suicide mission in one hundred degree heat.

I walked over to the phone, my shoes scraping against all the rubbish and dirt on the floor. I looked at the phone, my heart steadily beating faster and faster as I reached up to grab the phone.

When I put it to my ear I didn't say hello. Instead, I waited for them to speak.

An automated voice started by saying 'hello' before a dial tone clicked. "Casa Blanca, seven o'clock." I heard heavy breathing and the rustling of something before the spoke again.

"Do not be late."
