JESSICA

"I asked you a question! Who the fuck are you?" Henry raised his voice at me. I could hear the anger in his voice, his heart must have been racing faster than a formula 1 car.

I lifted my hands above my head carefully. "I'm Daisy." I uttered quietly.

He removed the gun from behind my head. I heard the clunk as he placed it against the hard wood of his desk.

"Don't bullshit me girl." he snapped. He gripped his hand around my arm like a vice and yanked me to my feet to face him. "Tell me who you are. Are you with them? Hell, were you the one who killed David?" he rambled his words angrily.

"I, I." I stuttered. I forced tears out of my eyes. I'd never been caught before. I should have never underestimated him.

"Wipe your tears and answer me." he snapped.

"They have my friend. They told me that if I didn't come here and snoop they'll hurt her." I sobbed through my lies, knowing it would pull on his heartstrings.

He rested his hands on my shoulders and slid them down my arms. "Fucking hell girl. I want to believe you, but why should I?" he sighed. He looked desperate for me to give him some sign of hope.

"I don't know." I mumbled. Tears shed down my face. "They're going to kill her aren't they? I have nothing to give them."

"Who are they? Them?" he looked me dead in the eye, staring deep into my now trembling soul.

"I don't know, I've only met one person, but he talks about others like it's an organisation. He dresses in grey suits and he has a scar on his neck."

He perched himself against his desk. "Fuck!" he cursed.

"H-Henry?" I asked nervously walking towards him.

"I can help you, but we're going to have to go somewhere else. I don't trust that they haven't bugged this place."

"Where have you been? I've been worried sick about you!" Kassie wrapped her arms around me and pulled me close. "I'm so mad at you." she whispered passively aggressively into my ear.

"I'm sorry." I apologised. "I was on a mission, you know how it is." I tried to explain, but she never wanted to listen.

"Yeah, but when I'm on a mission. I don't disappear for 2 days J." she snapped.

"Let me make it up to you." I dropped my bags on the floor and rested my hands on her waist. I lifted her up and she instinctively wrapped her legs around me. She widened her eyes at my actions.

"Can I do that?" I asked gently. I carried her up to our room and laid her on the bed.

She took off her top and I caressed her body with my hands gently, soothing her like she deserved. She deserved more than me. I was born to self-destruct, and she didn't deserve to be caught in the crossfire, but we were both in too deep.

My hands between her legs. "I missed you." she whispered through her soft moans.

She unzipped my dress and I pulled it off. Our glistening bodies intertwined with the love of a couple who've been through hell and back.
