Chapter 12
(Karlie's POV)

Luke pulled me aside to a hallway. "Karlie... What the FUCK are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing Luke."

"I asked first."

"What are you, five?"

He groaned. "Karlie!"

"I was looking for you. Ashton was upset that you bailed on movie night again."

"How did you find me?"

"That bartender at Booze Blues told me. She also told me that apparently we're fucking?" I tilted my head to the side. I saw his cheeks turn a light pinkish tint.

"Now is not the time Settles. You need to go."

"Why are you here?"

"That's none of your concern."

"I'm already here, and I don't plan on leaving until I get an answer. Might as well tell me."

He groaned, and punched the wall beside me.

"I'm here for intel."

"What kind of intel?"

"Boss sent me here to take out a guy."

"Which reminds me, who is this boss guy? You always bring him up."

"You ask too many goddamn questions."

"And you keep dodging them."

"Now is not the time."

"And why did he only send you? Why not Ashton, Calum and Michael!"

"Karlie, I-"

"And why do-" he clamped his hand over my mouth.

"Look, I don't have time for this. There's a guy here who has whereabouts on where Vincent might be. I'm here to get it out of him." He lifted his hand from my mouth.

"I thought Vincent died in that explosion?"

"Vincent doesn't go down that easily. Look, obviously I'm not gonna be able to send you home because you're stubborn as fuck, so you're just gonna tag along. Don't say anything, don't interact with anyone." I nodded in response.

We got out of the hallway, walking through the immense amount of people. We made our way over to the bar and I sat down.

"Wait here, I'll be back." Luke said. I nodded, not wanting to make him even more upset than he already was. He disappeared into the crowd soon after.

I was just sitting there, nothing to do, at the bar. I mean, I guess I could order a drink.

As if he read my mind, the bartender came over to me. "What'll it be, beautiful?"

"A sex on the beach please."

"Coming right up!" I watched as he gathered all the ingredients. Now that I look at him more, he is really cute with his sandy blonde hair and green eyes. While lost in thought, he shook up all the ingredients and served me my drink with an orange slice.

"Thank you." I took a sip.

"No problem. So what's your name?"

"Karlie."

"Karlie... There was a missing person's report I saw earlier with a girl who had that same exact name."

I gulped. "Really?"

"Yeah.. Karlie Settles I think her name was, and her friend Faith. Come to think of it you kind of look like her too, but It must be the alcohol, right?" He chuckled, and I smiled nervously.
