Nothing Personal

Violet

"Wait here" I said to Jonnie after he pulled up in the parking lot. I opened the door and stepped out. My body was sore and painful and I was tired. I pulled up my hood and walked to the entrance.
"ID please" the bodyguard said.
"It's me" I sighed, pulling down my hood an inch.
"Oh, Mrs Marteaz, sorry, please come in" he moved out the way. I walked around cautiously, not wanting any attention drawn to me. Where was Sean though? I imagined that he had been searching for me since my sudden dissapearance, but from the way the bodyguard recognised me, I was sure that none of his people had been alerted of my dissapearance.
I bumped into someone, and I walked around him, my eyes low, mumbling a sorry. He grabbed my forearm firmly and I tensed. I was so stupid to think I could escape my father. He had people everywhere who would trace me and bring me back to him. It would be game over if this was one of his minions.
"You know, you should really keep your eyes on the path" a deep voice said. My eyes widened and I turned to face Ramirez.
"Vee?" He asked in shock. I harshly pulled my arm away from his hold with an agitated look.
"Well don't shout it, can't you see I'm trying to hide?" I whisper shouted.
"Okay then, follow me" he said and led the way to an office. It was black and grey, just the way I liked it. Once I got in, he locked the door behind us. I pulled down my hood and took it off, the air in that place was suffocating.
"Where have you been? Most importantly who are you hiding from?" He asked, straight to the point.
I let out a shaky breath before explaining everything to him. His face grew weary at every detail I provided.
"Are you sure about this?" He asked.
"Am I sure? I just survived by a whisker and you are fucking asking me that?" I was drastic.
"We have to tell Sean, we have to warn him about this before he gets caught in his trap" I said pacing.
"Telling him won't solve anything"
"Why?"
"Because....Adam told him that when your mother's death day nears, you run crazy and do irrational stuff. He explained that you run off, and dissappear for days till you get over it. That's why no one has been looking for you" he explained.
"Of course he did" I groaned.
"Well, does that happen?"
"No! He lied proffesinally like he always does because he had planned this so perfectly, with just the perfect timing" I sucked in a breath.
"Do you think he would really kill you to save his ass?"
"My father is a demon, he made me one too. When he feels threatened by his kind, he wouldn't compete, he knows I'm capable of killing him, so he will kill me first" I said. Thinking about it, I would kill him if I had the slightest chance. But I wouldn't let him rejoice I the underworld knowing that he had successfully raised a demon worse than himself. I was so much like him, I felt like throwing up.
"Your life is dark" Ramirez teased.
"What do we do now?" I asked. The deal was due hours and if we didn't come up with a plan, Adam would find me, kill me and live on like a victim.
"Why don't we just beat him at his own dirty game? Ever played checkers Vee?"
"No"
"Today, I will teach you the art known as cheque mate" he said triumphantly.
"Could you start using actual words then?" I asked then smiled.
"Mislead him to think you are in a different location, say your ranch in Costa Rica" he said sitting on his table.
"But he doesn't even know it exists"
"Exactly. Once he finds out it exists, his anger will grow and he will become extremely intimidated. He will send almost everyone there to kill you. Then I will call him, say that you are with me on the way to the exchange because you want to warn Sean of 'something'. Feeling played, he will come to kill you himself and we end up getting him to admit that those weapons are in fact his, and he gets arrested himself"
"Brilliant, but what if he doesn't fall into that trap?" I asked.
"He will, I know his type of people. The real question is, how do we make him know of the ranch in Costa Rica without directly telling him?" He asked, stroking his chin. I thought for a while till a brilliant idea struck my brain.
"He knows me best, so he knows that the first person I would call is Melisa. I bet right now he is with her waiting for my call. So I will just call her, tell her to meet me at the ranch, he is sure to believe that" I said with new energy.
"Exactly, let one of my men give you their phone and we will destroy it after" he said standing.
"I really hope this works" I said sincerely.
"It will, you and I make a great team you know" he said and genuinely smiled. My cheeks turned rosy red and as much as I tried to hide it, he was right. He passed me and opened the door then looked back.
"Wait here" he said his voice husky.
