"OH THE FUCK NO!" I hear Phoenix boom, his voice vibrating off the walls. Turning to face him I sigh heavily at his scowling expression. Mylar snickers and I elbow him in the ribs, damn him and his suggestive comments. "Look, I don't know who the fuck you are or who you THINK you are but don't think you can come in here and start rubbing yourself up against my girl like some damn alley cat! ITS.NOT.HAPPENING!" Phoenix shouts and takes a menacing step towards Mylar, Mylar tenses and I huff stepping in the middle of them. Too much testosterone in this place, I'm telling ya.... I think silently as I place one hand on Phoenix's chest and one on Mylars chest. "Ok look guys, calm the fuck down, this is ridiculous. Mylar enough with your man-slag attitude, it doesn't work on me and you know it. Phoenix, I'm not your girl. We ended 5 years ago, don't dig up the past. Mylar, we need to talk, I spoke to Helix yesterday, I told him I had it under control" I snap and he runs a hand through his hair. "Yeah, well he sent me here to make sure you're gonna get the job done. But to be honest it seems like your on your way to playing happy families with these guys. You're here to do a job Ameryis, not to bond with old friends" Mylar sneers and pulls a face as if Phoenix and the guys are below him. That kind of attitude don't fly with me... I narrow my eyes at him, taking my hand off Phoenix's chest I turn and fully face the guy who has seen me at my worst over these past 5 years. "Look. We've been friends for a good few years Mylar but I will not have you coming here, creating a mess that I will have to clean up! remember, you're the one on Helix's payroll, NOT.ME! One fucking phone call Mylar and I'll have your ass and Helix's, hanging out to dry. DO.NOT.START. Especially with these guys. I'm telling you now Mylar, I might not have seen these guys for years and they may hate me right now but either way theses guys fucking saved me." I snap and he flinches. Last time we got into a bit of a... situation, if you will. He ended up needing a stretcher and stitches. He knows better. "Fine, whatever but this job needs doing Ameryis" he says and I nod. "I know, and I'll get it done, but you need to leave. Now" I say and he sighs but nods in agreement. "I'll be close by if you need backup" He says and leaves without another word although I see an emotion that I cannot name flicker through his eyes before he leaves. Tense silence follows his exit and I take a deep breath before turning to face Phoenix and the guys. "Who the fuck was that and why was he here, more importantly. Who the fuck is he to you" Phoenix snaps and I blow out a breath locking eyes with him. "We need to talk"....This should be fun...
