Mila landed on her feet to the ground with a thud, still carrying Ramon in her arm. She saw that she was in the garden maze as the hedges stretched and twisted for miles. "Now to look for Leon." Mila stood up and looked back up towards the balcony to see the two verdugos staring down at her silently. Ramon squirmed trying to get free.

"Let me go, peasant!" He shouted. Mila ignored him and saw the two bodyguards beginning to leap from the balcony.

"Time to go!" Mila quickly ran and the two verdugos crashed down, landing where she was and quickly chased after her. Mila took quick turns around corners and continued running. She could hear the bodyguards were approaching fast behind her. "Shield your eyes!" She shouted.

"What are you talking about-" Ramon hissed and Mila pulled out a flash grenade and quickly tossed it behind her. Ramon quickly closed his eyes before the bomb went off. The two bodyguards shrieked completely blinded by the flash. The two verdugos quickly looked around and saw the Mila had vanished. The two continued to pursue and ran past her while she hid behind a hedge. Mila let out a quiet sigh of relief. "Looks like we've lost them for now."

Ramon pried Mila's hand from his mouth and bit down. His eyes widen in shock when he saw Mila didn't even flinch. What is she!?

"I cannot feel pain, you know. You can hit, bite me, and kick me all you want." She set him down. "Now, I'm going to let you go. Do not run or scream, got it?" She warned him. Ramon quickly shook his head and Mila slowly released her hand from his mouth. "You are going to answer a few questions-" Ramon quickly slapped her across the face.

"How dare you! Do you know who I am!?" Ramon shouted angrily. Mila slowly turned back looking at him then she raised her hand and slapped Ramon back. Ramon stumbled back, holding his cheek, then stared at her in shock. "Y-You hit me!"

"You hit me first." Mila retorted. "Do you know how to get out of this maze or not?"

"Like I'd tell you." Ramon frowned.

"Okay, then I'll just leave you here all alone to your so called "pets." I'm sure they'll love having you as a chew toy." Mila smirked.

"You wouldn't dare-" Ramon saw Mila about to walk away before he quickly grabbed her wrist. Mila turned back to him.

"Changed your mind?" Mila asked.

"Answer me this, woman-" He saw Mila look away from him and growled and stomped his foot on the ground. "Look at me while I'm talking to you!"

"My name isn't "girl, peasant, or woman" it's Mila." she told him. Ramon's hands trembled and he made a twisted scowl getting more and more annoyed by this woman's antics. She acts like a spoiled brat! Who does she think she is!?

"Mila..." Ramon said her name like it was venom in his mouth. Mila looked at him with a smile. Ramon blinked and felt his chest growing hotter.

"Yyyes." She sing songed.

"You're different from the people that I've come across. Tell me this, what do you see when you look at me?" He asked her. Mila blinked at him confused before staring back into his golden eyes. Mila felt her cheeks growing hotter and opened her mouth.

"Uh, sexy?" Ramon's eyes grew wide in surprise. What? Well, that was a first. Mila sputtered before quickly looking away from him. "Did I say that? I mean, you're bratty." She saw Ramon's eyes grew colder, glaring at her. "You're a sassy old man!" She laughed. Ramon twitched and he gritted his teeth. "I'll have you know, I'm only twenty years old!" He spatted out.

"You're twenty? Wow, you're a year younger than me!" She smiled. Before either Ramon or Mila could say another word, the leaves of the bushes began to rustle. A plaga infested wolf jumped out and saw the two of them. Ramon quickly ran, leaving Mila behind.

"Get back here!" Mila shouted at him, while shooting at the wolf. Ramon laughed.

"Have fun, mi belleza!" He cackled. Then another plaga wolf pounced out and slammed into Ramon, knocking him to the ground, pinning him down. Ramon screamed as he tried to hold the wolf back from chomping down on his face. Mila gritted her teeth. "Damn it!" She fired another shot at the wolf in front of her, taking it down and quickly ran over to Ramon.

"Hold on!" She called out. Mila fired a few shots but missed. She saw the wolf's head coming down to Ramon's neck. "Ramon!" Then the two heard barking and a flash of white jumped out of the bushes. Hewie knocked the infected wolf off of Ramon. Ramon quickly crawled as he backed away and Mila ran in front of him, watching Hewie and the wolf fight each other. "Hewie!"

The infected wolf knocked Hewie away and Mila quickly fired her TMP releasing multiple rounds into the creature until it fell to the ground, finally dead. Hewie barked. Mila smiled and bent down calling the dog over. "Good boy-!" Hewie ran past her and Mila turned around confused. "Huh? Hewie?" She saw Hewie jumping on Ramon, licking him. Ramon pushed the dog away from him. "Get away from me! I told you to never come back!" Mila's eyes widen.

"Wait a minute...Hewie's your dog?" She questioned.

"No, this mongrel is not my dog!" Ramon shouted. Hewie was still jumping on Ramon and licking him.

"Really? Cause it seems like he knows you." Mila frowned, not believing him. Ramon pushed Hewie off of him and stood up brushing himself off. "Not anymore."

"How can you say that?" Mila glared at him. Then the two heard another rustle in the bushes. Ramon backed away and Mila held her gun out, getting ready to fire. Leon stepped out with his own, aiming it Mila before dropping realizing it was her.

"Hey, it's you. You're okay." He said.

"Leon! Boy am I glad to see you!" Mila smiled. "What happened to Ashley?"

"She started to cough up blood and when I tried to help her, she attacked me then freaked out and ran." Leon explained to her. Mila frowned.

"Ashley's coughing up blood, too. This is not good."

"What happened? I've been trying to get in contact with you for almost an hour." Leon asked.

"Not important." Mila ignored him and pointed to Ramon. "Look who I got!"

"Salazar!" Leon shouted. "Why is he here!?"

"The feeling is mutual, Mr. Scott." Ramon smirked at him.

"I kidnapped him." Mila told him. "He can help us out of the maze and maybe find Ashley." Leon shot her a glance.

"Can we really trust him?"

"What choice to we have?" Mila said. Leon turned back to Ramon, glaring down at him.

"Lead the way. But no funny business. got it?" He warned Ramon. Ramon smirked.

"I wouldn't dream of it." He said, innocently and walked away. "Shall we?" Mila, Leon quietly followed behind him, with Hewie.
