~Met Behind the Masks~

Chapter 16

~Evan's POV~

I watch as Lauren steps up, whispering something in the guard's ear. He shakes her hand, and allows us in. "What'd you say?" I whisper to her, curiosity getting the best of me. "He's a colleague of mine. We have a code so we know it's each other for sure," she winks at me with a smile. We all put our masks back on once we enter, all scattering to the bar stools on the right. "Two tequila shots," Tyler orders. I can tell he's smiling under that mask of his. "Alright Night. If you chug both of these, I'll give you 100 bucks on the spot." he bargains, pulling a hundred dollar bill from his pocket. 

"Hand 'em over.." she says hesitantly. "You don't have to," I assure her. She shakes her head, saying she wants to as she grabs them from Ty. She looks around, probably for Avalon, so I do the same. I see Marcel has her occupied. Lauren raises her mask above her nose, and chugs one. I watch her lips curl up at the taste, making me roll my eyes. Once she gets that one down, she does the second one. She slams the glass on the counter and places her hand out for Tyler's end of the bargain. He gives it to her, patting her back as well.

"I could tell you didn't drink often," he tells her, chuckling. She elbows his gut, causing him to collapse and all of us to laugh. 

~Time skip~ ~Lauren's POV~

By the time it's 10 pm, everyone is basically wasted. Besides me. I think even Evan drank a little more than he should have. I watch him act stupid with the other guys, making me remember Avalon. I see her dancing with Craig, Tyler, Marcel, and David. All of them looking like goons. I think Tyler convinced her to drink too by playing a shots game. I look back over at Evan, but see a girl grinding against him. I feel fury rise inside me, forcing my feet to go without me realizing it. I step up to him, but he doesn't even notice me. I shove the slut out of my way and lift his mask, slapping him across the face.

"Drunk bastard," I mumble, stepping away once he sees me. I feel his hands on my hips, making me gasp. His breath is right on my neck, smelling strongly of alcohol. "Put your mask back on." I complain. He kisses my cheek and says "I love you!" very slurred. I laugh and turn, facing him. "If you can say that with a straight face looking into my eyes, I'll believe you," I tease him, knowing he won't be able to do it. "I lov- *hiccup* Heh!" he says, but starts laughing. I chuckle a little too, finding it a tad bit funny. 

I kiss his cheek, making him smile. He leans down, kissing my lips softly. "I'm not that drunk," he winks, making me roll my eyes under the mask. "Then you KNEW what that girl was doing?" I question, my smile disappearing quickly. He covers the part of my mask where my mouth would be, and tells me "She has some information that's very helpful. She thought I was drunk so I wouldn't remember anything. I would never do that to you," he pulls up the chin of his mask, smiling at me. I sigh, but hug him in forgiveness.

He rests his hands on the small curve of my back, pulling me closer to him. "Then how the hell do you smell so strongly of alcohol?" I mumble into his shirt. "It's called drunk friends and bar smells," he teases. I playfully punch his shoulder with a smile. "You're such a dick," I say as he laughs at me. I hear music play loudly all of a sudden, making me cover my ears. "Wanna step outside?" he yells to me. I nod, heading out back with him.

As we step out of the door, we see 4 shadows in the corner. We sneak around and listen in on what they're saying. "Anything yet?" a males voice asks. "No, not yet." a computer generated voice replies. "Dammit! You useless runt! You're supposed to get info on Vanoss!" the first guy yells, kicking somebody. I hear a body hit the ground, but they don't make any noise. "Don't take it out on me. They're too secretive." the voice explains. That's when I remember Avalon.. attempting to see Evan's face.

I growl, quickly pulling out my gun and shooting the computer generated voice person. I hear a shriek, watching them hit the ground. Evan stand next to me, a gun pointed at them as well. I shoot one guy in the leg, making him collapse. I see someone running away, so I shoot them in the spine, paralyzing them. The last guy stands against the wall, casually watching me. I growl and aim my gun. "You wouldn't do that to me," he says, stepping out into the light. He steps into the dimly lit street light, revealing his face. I gasp, frozen in shock..
