You" I said as a scowl slowly grew on my face.

"Shouldn't you be a hobo in New York begging for your last meal?" He asked with that smirk I've always despised.

"And shouldn't you be in hell getting viciously ass raped by Satan?" I retorted and his smirk turned to a small smile.

"I see you haven't changed, same vixen I once knew"

"You haven't either, same dumb idiot I wish I never knew" I replied folding my arms.

"What brings you here?"

"Should be asking you the same. Finally run out of money?" I glared as the words fell out of my mouth bitterly.

"I had no choice but to agree to this whole sh*t they've got going on"

"What do you mean?"

"Interrogating me so soon huh?, I thought you were on the run 52" I gritted my teeth hearing him say that.

"Don't call me that anymore, I go by Ariana... Ariana Rollins" I spat out and he arched a brow.

"I see you've changed your colors well I'm Ace Jones"

"I don't care what your name is"

"I know you're still mad at me, but–.."

"There's no f*cking but you idiot, I don't know how you got to this place, and I want you gone and I don't care how you make it happen" I said angrily walking to the kitchen for a glass of water, I think the rage in me just got me dehydrated.

"Can you hear at least me out?" He walked into the kitchen standing at the door.

"And hear you say what?, I'm not going to stand around and listen to any bullshit you're going to spew out next" I gulped down the water and kept the cup back in its place before walking past him into the room.

"Listen 52... Uh Ariana that day–.."

"Shut up!".

A knock came in on the door interrupting us. We stared at the door and I approached it cautiously, I opened the door and there stood the huge guy called Ray with my bags.

He shoved the bag into my hands and left without saying a word.

He's really a Ray of sunshine.

I closed the door behind me and walked to the closet with my bag placing my clothes into the space left since the rest was occupied by that douchebag's clothes.

Just two pair of shoes to last me a month and a few black trousers and shirts.

I worked in uncomfortable silence feeling his heated gaze on my skin but I ignored it as much as I could.

Hours later , it's already night time and we haven't heard a word from that weird lady or her rude bodyguard of sort and we are still in the room when someone knocked on the door.

Ace walked to the door and spoke with someone for a while before bringing in a tray of food.

"It was room service sent by Tracy"  He said placing it on the small dining table for three...

How strange, shouldn't we be the ones ordering our own service?, It's a nice gesture though but it's almost too nice.

I walked to my bag and picked out a piece of paper and a pen. I knew it will come in handy.

I wrote a note down and kept the pen before squeezing the paper and I threw it at Ace, I just hope he's smart enough to understand what I'm doing.

"What the hell was that for?" He asked but I walked past him into the bathroom, I need to wash off.

A few minutes later i walked into the room and he was on the bed looking at the ground like he was in thought.

Walking to the closet ,I picked out a set of underwear and a black robe before going back into the bathroom to change.

I came out and Ace was no where to be seen. Maybe he's disappeared like I asked, that's will be good for me because I need to figure out what's going on and his presence is distracting.

Suddenly arms came around my waist and I jabbed my elbow into the stranger's abdomen in reflex and I heard Ace groan behind me still holding on.

"What the hell are you doin—" He cut me off turning me around in a hurry and slamming his lips on mine.

I tried getting out of his hold but his grip was strong and I found myself slowly melting into his touch, I kissed him back holding back a moab when he tugged on my lower lip and my hands found it's way to his hair tugging on it a little forcefully and he groaned into the kiss. I felt my back press into the soft bed and Ace leaned back, I felt my heart beating wildly against my rib cage as I stared at him , I've never felt such rush in many years and I was tempted to almost kiss him again, well almost but I stopped myself as a  deep scowl grew on my face.

"I saw your message" He whispered against my lips.

"And did you have to kiss me before telling me?"

"There are CCTVs in this room placed in hidden positions, we're being watched."

"So? It's a game of course they'll watch us"

"Yeah, but how do you explain the drugs I found in the food, the drink was laced as well"

"If we had eaten it, we'll be dead asleep right now"

"It's not just a game"

"Yeah it's not just a game"

"You didn't have to echo me, now get off me" I pushed him off and he fell into the bed.

"We've gotta get out of here" I said getting on my feet and almost immediately there was another knock on the door.

"Who's there?" Connor asked heading to the closet to put on a shirt, he dragged a bag from under the bed.

"Room Service" That voice sounds too rough to belong to an hotel worker.

"Huh one secon–" The door explodes before Connor could finish talking and five huge men walked in.

"Well you're not room service" I said and Ace scoffed at my words.

"Thanks for being observant Ari" Ace said sarcastically and I turned to stare at him because of the new nickname.

I turned to face the huge guy who had a rifle pointed at my face.

"Should we really be doing this right now?"I asked the guy but he just looked expressionless.

"Fine have it your way then" I said and suddenly shit went down as i pulled out the knife strapped to my thigh swiftly stabbing him in the throat and the rifle fell out of his hands.

I bent to pick up the gun but someone held my hair pulling my backward with it and I groaned before jabbing him in the face with my elbow, I heard his nose cracked and he let go of my hair. I turned to finish him off but a gunshot went off and a bullet whizzed past my face barely grazing my skin and the guy dropped head with a bullet in his forehead.

I turned to glare at the culprit.

"You imbecile! You almost blew my head off"

"What?, Your head is still in one piece you should be thanking me" He said and almost immediately his neck got grabbed and he used the gun to hit his abdomen hard and the guy let go.

"Thanking you?"

"You're welcome" He replied with a grin and I picked up the gun in a hurry pointing it at him.

"Put that away" He said and I fired a shot, I heard a groan and a thud as the body dropped dead in a pool of blood.
