A Love That Kills

Caught

"You're a fucking monster! Get away from me!" I sobbed. I picked up the vase in front of me and threw it at Sebastian.

"Really?! Who's the one trying to kill me?" He screamed.

"The world should thank me if I do. Monster." This happened everytime Sebastian had a job to do. We would fight, I would try to kill him, he'd hit me. In the end, he always got his way and I would help him. I was almost always the bait, the distraction. Sebastian walked towards me and punched me in the stomach. I dropped to the floor coughing trying to catch my breath. I stayed on the floor for what seemed like hours. After just staring at me he picked me up and pulled me into his arms.

"I'll be waiting in the car," he kissed my forehead and walked outside. I took a deep breath and went to the restroom and got ready.

"So, what did this guy do?" I asked Sebastian as we entered a night club. It sometimes made me feel better knowing that the people Sebastian killed were not completely good people either. But sometimes they were. Sebastian was what he called the clean-up guy. He was in charge of taking out the trash, basically all of his boss's enemies. Those ranged from politicians to mobsters to scorned lovers. Sebastian did his job well, he pitied no one.

"He knows too much," Sebastian said as he walked us through the back. It was often that he gave me this reason and it scared me to think that his boss would send for him to be killed because he knew too much as well. He never told me anything, I didn't even know his boss's name.

"Remember bunny, stick to the plan," he warned me. I admit, sometimes I made his job harder because I tended to screw up the plans. This time the plan was that I'd walk up to the guy, take him away from his party, convince him to order his guards away, lure him outside to the spot where Sebastian would be waiting and then he would do his job and get rid of the body. Easy peezy.

"O.k" I walked through the crowd as Sebastian left. I loosened up, got a drink and acted like I was having the time of my life.

"Hey baby!" I yelled across the wall of bodyguards surrounding this man. He looked over and waved me over. I slowly danced my way to him and sat in between him and his friend.

"Well, look at what we got here boys!" He said as he pulled me onto his lap.

"I heard that you know places. Places that girls like me have never seen" I slurred.

"Well, would you like to see them?" He smirked.

"Yes!" I said sounding like a dumb slut. He grabbed my hand telling his guards not to follow. As he was leading me out of the club, I noticed a cop walking towards us. I turned my head to the side and saw another one looking at me. Oh God no. This can't be happening. The cops noticed me staring and started walking faster. I looked at the man leading me outside. I couldn't take him to Sebastian. They would see him. I couldn't let them get me either. How did they find out I knew Sebastian? Was that even why they're after me? But why else would they be? I pulled my hand out of the man's and I started to run. The cops chased after me. I ran outside and crossed the street nearly getting ran over by a taxi. Now it was 5 cops chasing me.

"Stop!" I heard them shout. I ran into an alley. It was extremely hard running in high heels. I kept falling which slowed me down a whole lot. They were right behind me when I came to a dead end.

"Shit!" I yelled as I slowly turned. Sebastian is going to be so angry. I screwed the plan up again. 

A cop turned me around and cuffed me.

An officer led me into the police station. He was taking me into an interrogation room, I think. As we were walking, I saw a handsome man walk by. He saw me and it felt like he looked straight through me and I felt like he could read me like an open book.

"Step this way," said the officer and led me to a table. Wow, it was exactly like in the movies. A dark room with a table and two chairs. I took a seat and the officer went to stand by the door, facing me.

"So... Aren't you supposed to ask me questions?" I asked. The officer gave me an annoyed look.

"Detective Robles will be here any minute and he'll be the one interrogating you."
