Greece


Greece was exhausted.
She'd been working for more than twenty four hours without a wink of sleep and if she had to be on her feet any longer she feared she'd collapse in the bar. The nightclub she'd found a job in was open, all day everyday and with the staff limited Greece had to work extra hours. But the job, as exhausting as it was paid well and she needed the money, especially when she knew she would soon need to disappear and fast.

Greece was dressed in a tight black dress that showed way too much skin and six inch heels that made Greece's 5'4 height an edge taller. As she swiveled through a bus load of people Greece was use to cat calls and winks of the patrons that attended the nightclub but they were easily ignored as she focused solely on her job.

Her eyes darted through crowds of people always on the alert for that familiar face Greece feared to see. Although she knew she left no trace of her whereabouts she knew better than to doubt his abilities. Suddenly as her eyes scanned the entrance four men entered and her breathing slowly staggered at the sight of them. They were beautiful and Greece could find no other word to describe them.

Obviously one with eyes could tell that they were brothers as all four held similar physical characteristics, but the man who'd immediately caught her attention seemed to be the most beautiful of them all. He stood stoic dressed in a black suit as they all were but his eyes seemed to be studying their surroundings as if he was searching for something or someone. He had a flair of danger to him and Greece, she had experienced danger but him, he had something that intrigued her. Suddenly his stare caught hers and Greece felt a blush rise in her cheeks as patrons clouded her vision of him.

Taking a deep breath she didn't know she was holding Greece swiveled her heel and walked back to the bar. With a new array of drinks on her plate, Greece made her way through the crowds, offering patrons drinks of all kinds. Her eyes scanning the club to see if she could catch a glimpse of the man she'd seen come in. But to no avail her efforts were futile and ended up giving her last drink to some man who was smirking at her.

"Baby," He cooed as his arm latched onto hers.
"Let me buy you one of those.." his words were slurred, his grip on her loose but still uncomfortable.
Greece smiled politely, "No thank you." She remained calm and unclasped his hand from around her but he only frowned.

"Oh, no you don't-" he stumbled forward.
"Let's get outta here baby, we can go to my place...." he stumbled forwards his hand on her shoulder.
Greece shook her head, "I have to work.."
The man scoffed, "Work? Baby, come and work for me I'll pay you triple what they pay you here.. one night?"
Greece was disgusted, she was not whoring herself out to this man for no amount of money but in her disgust she managed to keep a calm exterior.

"Please sir, I have too...."
"Shut up!" His voice was harsher now.
"I want you and I..."

"Is there a problem here?" A deep voice suddenly emanated from beside her.
He definitely wasn't American, he sounded Italian.
Greece swiveled to see the man who'd caught her attention.
The drunk immediately let go of her and sized him up but he was no where close near to his height and stature. Up close he was even more magnificent with crystal blue eyes that were now icy as he glared at the drunk man.

"Yeah, there is, I was in the middle of talking to this woman here before you interrupted."
Suddenly he turned his attention to her, "Come with me." His voice so commanding and deep Greece had no second doubts about following him, and leaving the drunk behind. Greece stuck close to him as they migrated through the crowd and it was only until they were a great distance away that he stopped walking and turned around.

"Are you alright?" His voice was firm but reassuring.
Greece nodded, her mouth unable to formulate words, I mean she was use to these sort of encounters and she'd surely been in far worse but the way he cared seemed to enchant her.
Suddenly out of the corner of her eye Greece saw it, small and silver, a gun behind his belt. Her eyes strained on it and he immediately knew what had caught her attention but made no move to conceal it.

"Look, something is going to happen soon and...."
There was loud crash followed by a series of gun shots and Greece instantly paled.
"Fuck" she heard him mutter before taking out the gun.
His eyes caught hers and he shook his head, "Get out of here now!"

She stood there dumbly as three men came up behind him, "Allegro, they're here we need to act now!"
Allegro's brow creased as he looked at her, "I said leave now!"
Greece suddenly able to comprehend nodded her head running towards the back exit when the door slammed open and men wearing skiing masks entered with rifles in their hands.

Her blood ran cold as the man leading them fired three shots to the roof of the club causing the patrons to fly to the floor in screams. Awkwardly, Greece stood still facing them and dark eyes met hers and immediately stilled in fear of being shot. To her surprise they paid her no mind and immediately walked past her shoving her as they entered. Without a moment to lose Greece was out of that building and heading onto the street.
