2 - Cat & Mouse

I was in Portugal, I was safe, I was away from Denny. I had pawned my wedding set for money. Since Denny insisted on the largest set of diamonds possible, I got so much money from pawning it.

The minute I took it off and handed it to the shady worker at the store I felt like a shackle had been removed and I was free.

I knew there was no way I could be found but I didn't plan on staying in Portugal long. I was working on getting a flight to Paris. Paris was always my dream, Denny promised me a honeymoon in Paris...that never happened.

I was in my hotel in Portugal when the room phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Mavis, Mavis, Mavis...you thought you could run and hide." I heard the voice say and I sighed.

"Lloyd..." I said calmly but then the panic set in.

"Yes cupcake, it's Lloyd." I slammed the phone down. I didn't know how he found me. I knew if Lloyd could find me, Denny could too.

I rushed and quickly started to pack up my suitcase as the phone rang again. I just watched it until it stopped. Then it started ringing again. I sighed thinking maybe it was the front desk, and I didn't want to ignore them.

"He-hello?" I answered in a shaky voice.

"Cupcake, don't hang up on me." Lloyd said sternly and the tone instantly made me tense up.

"Lloyd please..." I said.

"Please what? Don't tell Denny where you are? Don't come and get you myself?" Lloyd asked.

"I will be gone before you get here." I said.

"You sure Mavi? What says I'm not in the hotel lobby? What says I don't have guys on the way to your room right now?" Lloyd said.

"Because Lloyd if you are here, you would be in the room dragging me out and back to Denny." I said. I heard him chuckle.

"You're one smart cupcake." Lloyd said.

"Well, this has been fun, but I'm gone." I said.

"Run all you want cupcake. I will find you anywhere you go. But that's okay because I love the cat and mouse game." Lloyd said.

"Cat and mouse?" I asked.

"Yes, you Mavi, my meek little mouse, always running. Me the big tomcat who will just wait for the right moment and pounce." Lloyd said.

"I look forward to that Lloyd. When you pounce make sure you pounce hard." I said. I heard him growl. "Okay fun chat." I said, made a kissing noise and hung up. I grabbed my bag and ran out of the hotel.

**LLOYD POV**

"I look forward to that Lloyd. When you pounce make sure you pounce hard."

I growled when she said it. When she hung up, I smiled though.

Denny underestimated Mavis. He never knew what she was capable of. I did though. I always did.

Denny hid away Mavis and what she was capable of. Denny knew what she was good at she was skilled in hiding for the CIA. During a lot of our mock training, she was never found. She could run, hide and blend in so well it was a shock I found her now. She could have been an amazing asset to our team. I knew she would run somewhere now harder to find her. I needed to call Denny.

"Well?" Denny answered his phone.

"No luck." I said.

"No luck?! You said you had a lead!" Denny yelled.

"And it wasn't her. My software is obviously shit." I said.

"God damnit Lloyd she's a fucking idiot! She can't be this well at hiding!" Denny yelled. I clench my jaw at this comment.

"Denny, she will fuck up and show her face eventually. How badly did you fuck her up?"

"Is that really your business?" Denny asked.

"When you want me to find her it is."

"She was bruised and beaten pretty bad. She needed to be taught a lesson. Do as she is told. She forgets that sometime." Denny said. I clenched my jaw. "Just find her Lloyd! She is mine and I want her alive." Denny said and hung up.

Once he hung up, I threw my phone against the wall. I was pissed! Mavis was a person not property whether he was married to her or not.

"Keep a lead on her and tell me where she goes! She won't hide forever!" I yelled at the techs and stormed out of the room. I then looked at another tech. "Find me her cellphone information!" I yelled.

"She got rid of the phone, we can't find it." The tech said.

"She had a burner, we all know she does! Find it! Somehow!" I yelled and left the room. I walked into the kitchen and got me a glass of whiskey. I lean on the counter thinking back to our Harvard days and the day we met Mavis. Thinking about her in college made my cock twitch in my pants, hell thinking about her now made my cock twitch. Mavis was beautiful, she didn't know it though since she was never reminded by Denny.

Denny...why did she go for Denny? Of all men. Maybe I didn't seem promising, maybe I should have just taken her away from him when she gravitated to him. Denny was a son of a bitch from the minute I met him. It was always me, Denny and Suzanne. Mavis always wanted in but Denny told her to be a good little wife. Well, look at where that got her, unhappy and on the run.

I finished the glass of whiskey I was drinking then headed back to the tech room and saw one of the techs watching her walk through an airport.

"Where is she going?" I asked.

"Paris." He said and I chuckled.

"Oh Mavis...Paris, really?" I asked. I then looked at one of my guards.

"Get the jet ready. We're going to Paris." I said and he nodded.
