It had been about two weeks and Tony opened up a lot more to me since then. We hung out more often than not and I got him some information on the monsters which made him happy. The way he was playing into my hands allowed me to gain access to a lot of information that I didn't know about and even meet some of the gang members from the Casino. They were a rowdy bunch, anxious too, they'd kill anyone they think betrayed them on the spot. I had to make sure no one followed me home, no one was watching me, and no one found out about me and my little secrets. It took a while for his men to get used to me because of my ears and tail and what not, they thought it was fake, but that changed when someone tugged my ears. It got better, he put me in charge of the shipments with the girls in them and I handled that for a while before handling every other shipment he threw at me.

"You are a natural sweet heart." He says walking up to me. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you've done this before."

"I have. I've been doing this for two weeks and the way you throw them at me, I have no choice but to be a quick learner." I reply smiling.

"So, I talked to the boss at the Casino and he said he wants to meet you today, if that's possible." He says looking toward the window.

"That's fine. No problem what's so ever." I reply. "Are you going to bag my head like they do in movies?"

"Well, no. Which is weird because he's not usually this calm about stuff like this." He says and I nod my head.

"Alright. I guess it wouldn't matter anyway, I'd find it by smell." I say and he starts giggling.

"Let's go." He says and we head to his car. About twenty minutes later we arrive the Casino and he leads to a back room that leads down stairs. He pulls me through the hallways until we reach a room that was similar to the one at Fontaine when I took him down.

"You must be Esmerelda, I'm Bonnie. Tony here has told me so much about you and I'm very intrigued and impressed by your work so far. You were able to infiltrate MCC without raising any alarms." He says nodding his head.

"It was actually harder than I thought. The skeleton was catching on at first so I placed a few lies here and there and that helped along with our current friendship." I reply. "Also, I found out that the boss plays here sometimes."

"That definitely narrows down a few things. Tony also tells me you're a goody two shoes and would never get into any fights. He even believes you cannot fight." He says.

"Well, I can but I choose not to. I don't like hurting people, it's not in my nature. After all, I lost my adoptive parent to a violent death and the only family I've ever grown up with is my brother." I say with a warm smile. "He's out of the country right now, but he has his girlfriend with him so I'm not too worried."

"Are you sure you know how to fight? I don't want to throw anything at you that's too difficult. How would you rate your skill?" He asks me.

"I don't know. That's not for me to decide, I only fight when I need to." I say looking around.

"Well, you'd better fight to save Tony." He says and I look over at him. He seemed a bit shocked at the statement. Some guys hold a gun to the back of my head and I freeze with a terrified look on face, mainly because the nozzle was cold. They knock Tony down and put a gun to the back of his head as well and I just look at them. "Are you not going to fight?"

"Well, this is only a test. I'm sure I'll have to, but Tony is in no real danger. Realize, I'm part wolf, I can sense these things." I say looking at him with a straight face and he nods his head.

"Wow, you do have sharp senses." He says. "Bring'em in." He motions and I immediately turn my head and I see someone drag in Monster kid.

"Oh little guy, I remember seeing you at the building." I say walking up to him. "Call me Esmerelda, if you would. How did you end up here?"

"I was walking around the building, toward the back and then everything went black. I want to go home." He says looking up at me.

"I understand you don't like monsters and that you want to kill all of them, but he's just a kid." I say shaking my head in disapproval.

"Well, save him then. It will put you on the good side of the monsters and I'm sure you know we're not bluffing, we don't like monsters after all." He says and I hear guns cock. I walk over to the cage and kneel to the little guys height.

"You're going to be alright. I'll take care of these guys." I give him a warm smile before standing up and taking a deep breath. I take one step to the left and notice the intense stares at me, but I focus on using the Rogues power. I make sure to keep my eyes shut so that they don't discover that I'm part monster and with that I begin slowing everything down with my mind and listening with my ears. I take out the first two guys who surrounded the cage and then the guy behind Tony using my knee. I hear a gunshot, but the bullet seems to be moving slow and so I head toward the cage and bend the bars back. I let myself calm down and make sure my eyes settle before opening them to a room full of shocked of faces. "Can you please not attempt to murder a child."

"Sweet heart, you never told me you could do something this amazing. We could have killed those monsters a long time ago." He says looking at me with wide eyes.

"What do you mean? I said I don't kill people." I say looking at him.

"Yeah, but with that, you'd be able to slow down the majority of them." He says and I nod. "What do you think Bonnie?"

"Not a bad idea, she is definitely strong. She could take us down with a little help if she wanted to." He says nodding his head in approval. "Yeah, let's do that."

"I'm going to take him home." I say looking down at him.

"You don't know where he lives." Tony says.

"I can figure it our by scent." I say walking out of the door and I notice Tony walking out behind me. I pick up the pace a little before he notices and when I'm out of site, I start running until I reach the crowd and use that to my advantage. Once I make it outside, I see Sans and hand Monster kid to him before heading back inside the building.

"Where's the kid?" He asks me.

"Sans was outside, I asked him he could take him home for me." I reply.

"We can follow them." He says.

"Not possible." I reply. "He's a monster with this weird power. It's not safe." I say looking him in the eye.

"Alright. Well, come on in, we're going to go over the plan."
