(WARNING: MENTION OF DE-ALIVING SOMEONE, HES A BAD GUY THO DONT WORRY. ALSO I SUPPOSE YOU CAN CONSIDER IT TORTURE TOWARDS THE END :))

Blythe wasn't surprised to wake up the next day and see that Ashton had left her all alone once she fell asleep, even though she would have loved to have woken up with him next to her, she understood that, that would have been out of his comfort zone so she didn't think too far into it. But one thing she did wake up to was a text from Riley.

'Meetup at the spot?'

Nothing more had to be said as Blythe knew instantly of what he was talking about. With that being said she sent back a simply 'yeah' before getting up and getting ready for the day.

The boys, on the other hand, were once again in Radley's office as if they never left from the night before.

"I'm gonna make it my Lock Screen." Maddox practically giggled as he smiled down at the picture of Ashton sitting beside Blythe on the bed, the both of them fast asleep. 

While Ashton was grumbling at the fact that Maddox had that photo, Radley was proud to see that Ashton was making moves to open himself up to Blythe. "Why are you complaining? This is progress, and your the only one to make it into her bed." Maddox smirked.

"I didn't get a kiss though." Ashton muttered as he looked away from his two friends.

This made Maddox burst out in laughter. "You two are children." Radley shook his head. "We've got more important things to talk about right now."

Radley pulled out a file and placed the paper work on the desk in front of the other two. "Giovanni Greco, one of Alonzo's guys. That was the man that was watching Blythe."

The laughter was soon no longer as everyone in the room started taking things seriously. "Where is he?" Ashton asked as he took a closer look at the man in the picture. He wasn't anyone special, just another guy Alonzo could use without a care in the world.

"Where he belongs." Radley replied. They both knew exactly what he meant by that. "Come on. No point in wasting any time."

-

Like last time, Blythe walked once she noticed that the guys had left, and while it was a grueling walk she still enjoyed the time alone considering she knew that she wouldn't be getting much of that anymore. "Oh, yes. Take your sweet, precious time." Riley called out when he caught a glimpse of Blythe walking up the hill.

"My bad, I forgot it actually takes time to walk and you can't just teleport." She snarked as she plopped down at the table and took a couple deep breaths.

"So, are we talking about you and the three extremely hot professors or about our little side quest?" Riley asked as he sat down next to Blythe. "I don't mind either way." He shrugged.

"In that case, I'm supposed to be a relationship with all three of them but I only really talk to Maddox, and I feel like I'm just overthinking but at the same time I'm not sure because we haven't even been in this weird relationship for long. Then there's all of this stuff going on with people trying to attack me and staring at me and I don't know who they are but I have a feeling it's something to do with them but I don't want to tell them that because then they're going to freak out and like lock me inside their very large and beautiful mansion but I've spent my entire life alone so I'm not used to any of this." Blythe took a breath as she let out everything she had wanted to say, well not everything, not yet at least. "With all of this being said, I feel crazy just thinking about them-"

"Oh, you're still going." Riley mumbled but his words went unnoticed by a rambling Blythe.

"Because I want to be with them all the time, and I mean all the time, but it's hard because it's not exactly a normal relationship, but fuck what everyone thinks because when have I ever cared about what anybody thinks, but I don't want them to get in trouble. Going back to what I was saying earlier about the fact that I don't really talk to the other two, even though that's the case I feel like I'm obsessed with them. Okay, that's it."

Riley was left speechless, something not very common to the usually chatty guy, but he wasn't sure what to say after taking in everything Blythe had said. "Uhm- I- So, how are we killing this guy?" Confusion was laced through his voice as he asked the question, still trying to process everything.

"Well, I was just thinking about going for the 'oh, he thinks he's drugged me so he's going to take me back to his place where I do the deed and I don't mean good deed' but his files said he likes men, so... Can't really do that." Blythe responded awkwardly as she rubbed her hands together.

"Can I try?" Riley asked.

"I guess. I don't know if it'll work though."

"Can I actually do the good deed as well?"

Blythe frowned as she side eyed Riley. "You wanna do the good deed with this man." Blythe then proceeded to point her finger at the large sum of crimes that the man had committed.

"Maybe with someone else." He said in a hushed voice.

"Yeah, maybe that."

A couple (a lot) of punches later, and Ashton's fist being coated with the chained up mans blood was when he decided to speak up. Giovanni was practically useless as he truly was a random man that Alonzo Valentino had hired in order to do his dirty business for him, at least that's what he was claiming.

He grunted on pain as Ashton punched him again in his stomach, making him hunch over in his chair.

He coughed in pain as he tried to get his words out. "All he told me was to watch for the girl. I don't know him, I don't her and I don't know what he wants. He just wanted me to watch. I swear on everything that's all I know." The man pleaded, blood flew from his mouth as Ashton punched him once more.

"You really think we're stupid." Radley was stood behind Giovanni, knife in hand as he twirled it around thinking about whether this made deserved a quick or slow death. "We already know Alonzo wants her dead because of us, so tell us where he is and this can all be over with." Radley attempted to persuade the guy with freedom but it seemed he had more to say than what he originally told them.

"It's not because of you." Giovanni looked down allowing for the blood to dribble down his chin and land in a small puddle that was beginning to form. "I can't remember who he said, but it's not for you guys in particular. The only thing Alonzo mentioned you guys with is the fact that it would be collateral damage. Two birds with one stone." The man began to cry as he felt the knife on the back of his neck. "Please! I'm sorry! My family needs me." He sobbed. "I told you everything." One final punch and the man was knocked out cold and it took for Maddox to hold Ashton back from creating more damage than he had already dealt.

"It has to be her boss then." Maddox concluded as he looked down at the knocked out guy with suspicion. "It's the only other person. Unless she has someone she hasn't told us about."

Radley nodded his head in agreement, but he knew it wasn't going to be that easy. If Blythe didn't have any information on her own boss then it was going to be near impossible to find anything. "Let's get out of here before Hulk decides to something he regrets." Maddox nudged Ashton over towards the door.

"I won't regret it if he's threatening her." Ashton went to take a step closer but Radley stood in his way and shoved him out of the room. He looked back at Giovanni before slamming the door behind him and locking it. "Keep him alive." Radley dropped the keys in the guards hand who only nodded his head in response.

"Are you sure about this?" Maddox walked beside Radley as they exited out of the building. Ashton had already stormed off towards the car giving the two privacy.

"I don't fucking know."
