FINN

One step. Two step. Three step. Four. Five.

Six.

Seven.

In rhythm with the beating of my heart. But only for Clarke.

I paced up and down my apartment. My computer screen had a picture of Clarke smiling with some of her old high school friends.

I walked back over to the bulletin board and gazed hungrily at the massive collection on photos and material I'd collected about her.

Photos, lists, objects. I knew her whereabouts as well as her family's whereabouts. I might even remember a few facts about her extended family. There were photos I took of her from when I follow her.

I was super proud of those ones. My eyes shifted to one of her talking on the phone with someone. She was dressed in a sexy pencil skirt and blouse.

Another one featured her and her best friend Raven at Vanilla Bean Cafe. I've found it's one of her regular places.

I sneered at Raven. Hate that bitch.

Carefully, I toyed with a camera and flicked through more photos. My heart began to pound when I came across them.

It was Bellamy and Clarke at the waterfront, sharing a kiss.

I raged and slammed the camera against the wall. There was no one else on this Earth I hated more than Bellamy Blake.

My biggest mistake was letting go. "I won't make that mistake again darling," I smirked. I kissed her picture.

I took the picture with me to my bed, and unzipped my pants. I groaned and let my imagination run wild.

"Finn, I need to speak with you."

I whip around to find Robinson Clyde approaching me with a serious look. That is usually when you know that he has found some dirty work for me to do.

"Yes sir?" I smirked at him. He finds me to be a joker and it annoys the crap out of him, but he needs me.

He would never let me go, no matter how much he wanted to. Robinson patted me on the back nervously and motioned to the side.

"As you know, I have been...falling behind in the ranks. Behind..." He lowered his voice as if it was a giant sin to mention his name. "...Bellamy."

"Indeed, so I've heard."

"I need to climb back up. My company can't lose, especially to Blake Industries. I need your help."

"I kind of understood that," I smiled raising my eyebrow.

"There is a new confidential location where they have found massive oil deposits, it could make billions. It's the talk of the city. Bellamy Blake has the location whereabouts of that oil mine. He's going to take it for himself, but the legal settlements have not been implemented yet. This means..."

"...there is nothing he can legally do if someone else were to find and start drilling," I finished.

"Precisely."

"So what do you want me to do?"

Robinson glanced around. "I want you to break into Bellamy's file cabinet in the basement. You know your way around there better than anyone else I have employed."

"That could get me arrested!" I gasped dramatically but I knew it was coming.

"A lot of the things you do could get you arrested Finn," he replied, rolling his eyes.
