RAFE SAT IN THE CAR with Barry
in the drivers seat, they were on their way to the chateau as the pogues called it. It was already quite dark outside, around 10pm.

"So what's the deal with this-" Barry smacked his teeth with his tongue. "Valerie? Valerie is it?" He turned his head towards Rafe. Rafe ignored him and took his gun out and proceeded to load it before answering him. "Don't worry about it. She's just my friends girlfriend." He finally answered, his voice low. "If you see her, ginger hair-" he informed. "don't touch her." He said while looking out the window. They made it to the chateau, the house was small and made out of dark wood. Barry stopped the car and took out his own gun. "Just make sure she gets in the damn car." Rafe added.

"Alright boss. Let's go." Barry said before hopping out of the car. Both of them began sneaking up to the house. The backyard was full of lights that hung on the huge tree in the middle of the yard. They must be here, who puts all these party lights up and doesn't even take part in the party?

"Alright, I ain't see shit. How about you?" Barry looked over at Rafe while crouching down.

"No. They can't be far though." He shook his head.

"Right, here's what we're gonna do." Barry began. "I'll go inside, I'll flush them out if they're in there. I want you to flank left, meet me out there by the porch."

Rafe nodded to his words, listening closely to what his plan was. Wasn't too bad. "Let's go."

The door to the house flew open. Barry held his gun high and made sure to be couscous of his surroundings.

He checked the bedroom, the bathroom. Nothing. He checked every spot that someone could be hidden in. Once again, nothing. Just as he got closer the the kitchen, he laid his eyes on a pair of legs on the floor. He was unsure if the person was passed out or asleep, all he knew was that the person wasn't moving. Or maybe it was a trap?

He got closer and closer, very slowly making sure not to make any noise. The gun was aimed directly at the person just incase it really was a trap.

Just as he got clear view of the body on the wooden ground, he layed eyes on long ginger strands of hair, the hair Rafe warned him about. He looked around quickly making sure no one else was in the room before kneeling down to the girl.

"Shit. Hey, Valerie." He tapped her. "Valerie, wake up." He shook her shoulder. No response. He turned her head to the other side, trying to get a better view at what he was looking at. His eyes scanned the blood stains that covered her forehead and the side of one of her cheeks. "Oh shit." He hissed. "Miss girl, wake up!" He shook her once again. No response.

He turned her whole body so that she was laying on her back. He bent down and leaned his ear over her mouth while his eyes payed attention to her chest to see if she was still breathing.

"RAFE!" He yelled out. "For fuck sake." He placed his gun on the floor next to him, and quickly made his way towards the backyard where he last saw Rafe.

Just as he was about to yell for Rafe again, he heard his yell echo though the air, just before a couple gun shots erupted.

When he saw only Rafe standing in the middle of the backyard, he let out a relieved sigh before fixing his hair. "Did you see them?"

"No. They aren't here." Rafe said while looking at the ground.

"One of them is." Barry said frustratedly. Rafe threw his head up at Barry's words, confused.

"It's Valerie. She's inside."

Rafe went straight for the chateau, not caring if Barry wants to leave her here or not. "If you did something to her I swear to go-"

"I didn't do anything!" Barry quickly went after him inside. "She's passed out. I think she hit her head or something."

Rafe spotted Valerie's small unconscious body on the floor. Her skin tanned and her figure shaped like a goddess. "Fuck." He ran to her side quickly crouching down and seeing if she had a pulse. It was very faint. "We need to get her help." He said while openening her eyelids. "She's had drugs, and a lot of alcohol." He passed the gun to Barry, before scooping Valerie into his arms and picking her up.

"It's going to be okay. I'm going to get you safe." He whispered to Val while marching to the car and hopping into the backseat with her in his lap. Barry got in the drivers seat before turning on the car and driving away.

Rafe looked around his car for anything that could cover Valerie. She was just in the bikini and judging by the goosebumps on her skin, she was far from just cold. He spotted a black sweater on the ground, not really caring about how it got there in the first place. He gently put the sweater on her, making sure not to hurt her or touch the wound on her forehead.

"Where to boss?"
