"Are you insane?!"
Vincent shouted at me once I had dragged the both of them to an empty hall, lucky we were near the bottom level and people had been screaming like their lives depended on it. I can't help but to hope it wouldn't get to that point, although Floyd was unpredictable and I had no doubt in my mind that he wouldn't care if it came to that.
Right after telling everything that didn't exactly involve exposing Zayn, I could see both of them growing concerned. Until the part had came up of what I wanted to do exactly, which is why it was a gamble for me. I didn't want him in this predicament at all, but there isn't anyone I can trust that would help me without putting Zayn in the middle of it.
He already owed a giant debt towards Brooks, it's the reason why he still fought today. Even with all of their unresolved issues, he still made sure to fight because it was necessary. I didn't want him getting involved, and I was going to be the one to take down Floyd myself if I need to do it.
But this was still a large bargain to offer myself for the sake of protecting everyone, I knew the price it was going to cost; If only Vincent and Mason were up for it, but the way both of them looked at me right now. I could tell it was going to take a little bit more convincing, just for the both of them to do the right thing.
"Listen, I know exactly what you may or may not be thinking," My nerves wracking against me as I followed after him, once he tried to walk back down the hall. While pulling Mason alongside him, so they can go back to the arena. "But I wouldn't ask for this if I wasn't serious, you don't understand."
Vincent turned back around to face me, as his eyes grew wide at my comment to him. "What? I don't understand? No, you don't understand that this plan isn't safe at all, this is dangerous. You're pregnant and I refuse to help put you in harm's way." He argued back, while holding up both of his hands.
"It won't be dangerous because I refuse to let it get that far, this is very important to me and I really need your help." My voice cracked as he shook his head at me, refusing to listen to what I had to say. A sigh left me as I tug on my hair, looking at his boyfriend for help. "Please, tell me that you understand?"
Mason sighed deeply as he looked at me, seeing that I was being serious about this. And there was no way I would ever volunteer to do this any day, but my choices were limited just as time was starting to run out. There will never be any other chance like this, and I refuse to let him slip right past us and do more harm.
All of this was incredibly sketchy and anything could go wrong, but I needed to take this risk so nothing would happen for sure. We wouldn't be able to move past this, if I know that he was around just waiting for the perfect moment to plan something. That's probably why he was here tonight, it wasn't a damn coincidence.
