Eirena P.O.V.

"Thanks for all this and by the way what's your name I never caught it." I ask as were driving to god knows where.

I didn't really think this through. But what choice did I have it was go with him or let them catch me. Now that I think about it he could be anyone a murderer, a rapist, an enemy of my family or worse a friend of theirs. Sad when a friend of the family is worse than an enemy.

"No thanks needed and the names Toney."

"You got a last name Toney or is it like Char only a first." I ask curious about this anonymous god.

"Not something for you to worry your pretty little head over. All you need to know is my first name and that I won't hurt you."

"Yeah sure why don't I believe that."

"I don't care what you believe sweetheart. I have a job to do and besides you have some explaining to do."

I look over at him quizzically. A job to do? What job? And what explaining? Then it clicks. He wants to know why I was running from the house. I don't know if I should tell him the truth or some made up story, but he doesn't look like he will be giving up the goods anytime soon and a deal is a deal. I take a deep breath and decide.

"I hate my parents and have to get away. There is nothing left there for me. It's time to move on."

"That it cuz who doesn't hate there parent ever now and then."

"Yep. That's it."

So technically it's not a lie. I do hate my parents and with their new demand there is nothing left there for me but misery. I don't need to tell him anything else. As soon as I get a chance I'm leaving his company anyway and start the search for my brother. Last, I heard he was in New York in fashion or something but who knows at this point.

"I don't believe that's it for a second. So why don't you tell me what's really going on."

"That's it."

"Fine doll whatever you say."

"So, I told you my story, what's yours and why were you on my parent's property."

"Looking for you."

"STALKER! Let me out right now." I yell at him.

I knew this was too good to be true. My hands fly over to the handle to try and get out but its locked. I move to try to unlock it but a strong hand grabs at me.

"Settle down doll it's not like that. I was sent to find you."

I immediately stop my actions. I turned to face him and ask, "Sent? By who?"

"Don't worry bout it. You will know soon enough. Just believe me when I say your safe with me."

We continue to drive, and it looks like he is going to be all tight lipped. He can keep his secrets. It will all come out in the wash anyway. Besides I kind of like it all silent, with everything that's happened, I don't think I could have a normal conversation with "Toney" anyway.

In addition, I am a women with a pulse and he is some fine eye candy regardless of his story. I take a long sideways glance and once again take an inventory of his features. From this closeup he is even more stunning then I originally thought.

I know I've been caught when I hear him chuckle.

"Like what you see sweetheart?"

I cross my arms and huff as I turn and face the window. I need to stay focused. Eye candy or not I don't know him. He "says" he wont hurt me, and he's here to help, but who knows.

After a short drive I see the city coming into view. I'm curious where he is taking me? I turn and look over to him but just before I open my mouth...

"I have to make a quick stop then we will be on our way."

"And our destination is?"

Another bit of silence. No shocker there. I'm starting to realize he is a man of few words.

"You have to give me something or I'm going to start thinking your the bad guy in this story."

More silence. I huff and turn to the window once more.

Ten more minutes pass and I notice we are pulling into a hotel parking lot. I get pissed at the site. If he thinks I'm going to sleep with him he has another thing coming. I play it cool and try to come up with a game plan.

We pull up to a parking spot and he puts the car in park. The second it's done I swing at him like a mad women. Hoping to knock him out and make a run for it. I get one good swing in before he grabs my wrists and restrains them.

"WHAT THE HELL!?!?!" he yells as he turns on me.

I stare him straight in the eyes. If I wasn't pissed off and a little scared for my life right now I would think the pissed off fire in his eyes was smoking hot.

"I could say the same to you. I'm not fucking sleeping with you. Why the fuck are we here?" I bite out at him.

The fire in his eyes dies as a quizzical look comes over his face. After a few minutes of contemplation he realizes what I'm talking about.

"As enjoyable as that would be doll, that's not what we're doing here." He says and it's my turn to look puzzled.

"If I let you go will you promise not to hit me."

I look down just realizing he still has my hands restrained. I relax my hands a little and he takes that as a sign to release me. I scoot back to my side of the car and wait for an explanation.

"I'm here to get my stuff. If I leave you in the car will you still be here when I get back or will I have to take you with me?"

I pause for a moment then say, "I'll wait in the car."

He looks at me for a moment trying to decide something. Looking like he made up his mind Toney reaches over to me and takes my hand.

"Eirena please trust me. I really am just doing my job and I'm trying to help you."

I hear a click and realize he just slid a handcuff on me. I immediately try to pull away but he's too quick he pulls me forward and I loose me balance before I can do anything. He quickly hooks the other side to the steering wheel.

"YOU DUMB DIRTY RAT BASTETED!" I scream as I pull on the cuffs trying to get loose.

"I may be a lot of things sweetheart but dumb is not one of them." He says as he opens the door and slides out.

I continue to call him every name in the book but I know its falling on deaf ears. He has already closed the door and is walking away.

I inwardly curse. I know I'm royally screwed.
