04 (Samuel Drake) Manipulation

Requested by @FoxTailGaming

Hayden has a little secret that her boyfriend Sam and his brother Nathan are clueless about, when the enemy catch up with them and all is revealed it seems that she's been betraying the brothers due to manipulation.

I was never the type of person to lie or keep a secret, throughout my life I was that person no one trusted because I couldn't keep my damn mouth shut. I wish I was still that person. It's been hard trying not to blurt out everything I know and have done, now as I stand in the middle of everything knowing my little secret is going to come out I can't help but wonder what's going to happen next.

Rafe's holding a gun towards us, two mercenaries backing him up their guns trained on us and I don't dare to move from the ground. I see his eyes flicker down to me and a smile appears on his face, he's amused by all of this which makes me mad.

"Well, this is interesting." He finally says after a moment of observing the scene before him. Nadine held tightly with a gun to her head by Sam who's more than willing to shoot her if it comes to that, Nathan is stood with his hands held out trying to calm the situation and I'm sat on the floor trying to catch my breath after being winded by the fall.

Rafe looks to each of us individually "Nate" he starts giving him a slightly nod, he looks over to Sam tilting his head "Samuel" he smirks looking over to me.

"Hayden" he chuckles.

Nathan shuffles closer to me weary of the guns pointed at us and holds out a hand to help me up but as he reaches down Rafe's voice cuts into the air again. "Ah, allow me" he walks over and doesn't bother offering me his hand, he grabs my upper arm pulling me to my feet and away from the brothers who watch as I don't attempt to fight back.

I see the look of hatred on Sam's face and the anger is clear in his voice "put your guns down, all of you!" he snaps "don't touch her." he adds in a low voice making eye contact with Rafe who just laughs with his hand still gripping my arm.

"No and no" Rafe breathes.

Nadine is quick to speak "Rafe, this guy's on edge" she states clearly in distress, it's a first for her to be in any type of danger and she knows she's at risk.

"Oh, don't worry about him Nadine" he replies focusing on Nathan as he walks forward bringing me with him and I squirm as his hand clamps tighter around my arm "these guy's don't kill anyone in cold blood. It's just not their style." he tells her.

Sam holds onto the woman tighter and she tries moving her head away from the barrel of the gun to no avail. "You willing to bet her life on that?" he then asks and I see he's just waiting for the right moment to shoot her, he's really going to kill someone.

"Go ahead then" Rafe tells him nodding "shoot her."

I take a deep shaky breath "Sam-" I say but his name gets caught in my throat.

"I die, you both die" Nadine states and Sam replies almost instantly roughly shoving the gun into the side of her head "so be it." he sounds so sure and it scares me.

Moving forward only to stumble back due to Rafe I say his name again "Sam..."

Rafe has his gun pointed at him and he moves forward keeping it at his head. "Not another step!" Sam shouts.

"You mean..." he moves forward again not pulling me along side with him this time but just a little behind "like this?" he mocks.

Nathan intervenes this time as he too knows this could escalate really fast "Sam...put the gun down" he snaps at him moving closer with his hand held out, the look on his face probably mirrors mine, we didn't think he could be capable of killing for the hell of it.
