Artemis' POV

We are in the basement tied up in chairs like common criminals. This is ridiculous..we have never been caught before...maybe if it was only for me and Delaine we could make it. But Christie is not a trained warrior. She is a tracer and a child damnit!

Delaine: What the hell were you thinking?!

Delaine scream-whispers.. turning her head a bit to look at me.

Artemis: I was trying to save us!

Delaine: Yeah?! And how did that work out?

Artemis: *scoffs* And what should I do?! Let him kill you?!

Delaine: Hah! The cat could not kill me even if he tried!

Christie: I think he could.

Christie speaks in a low voice and we both turn our attention to her.

Artemis: Are you okay Chris?

Christie: Just fine.

Delaine: Don't worry kid we'll get out of here! They'll find us in no time!

She nods but she is definitely unsure of that. Not because she doesn't trust Del but because our situation is a rather tough one.

Artemis: Now what?

Delaine: Now we wait. We can't tell them a thing. As long as they want to fish for information we are alive. If we tell them what they want to hear they'll kill us.

Christie: But...the panther said they won't kill us.

Delaine: Who?! The motherfucker who tried to kill me?!

Christie: No. 

She averts her gaze from us shaking her head.

Christie: Roberto...

I tilt my head not sure of what she is talking about.

Artemis: Who is Roberto?

Christie: The shifter who brought me here. The panther who was in a position to attack me.

Delaine: Did he tell you his name?!

Christie: Yes.

I and Delaine exchange a look, I saw the younger shifter from the corner of my eye. He looked a little lost. He wasn't rough with Christie, maybe because she didn't struggle but still...we can't trust anyone.

Delaine: Don't fall for their game kiddo. They might be handsome but they ain't good news!

Artemis: They?

I arch an eyebrow and Delaine rolls her eyes.

Delaine: Well...the Alpha aggressive bitch was hot. And if he was to use some hypnosis shit on me it would be fucked up to resist.
