Dangerous Illusion

33○

Standing in the room with 5 very annoyed me i keep my mouth shut.

Looking around the office, i see Callens butler crying with his hands over his face sitting down on a chair.

Feeling bad for him i walk up to him and hug me praying he doesn't get angry with me.

His eyes snap up to meet my me.

"It's okay. She will be here tonight" i say softly

He then does something i didn't expect he reaches for me and hugs me back.

"Thank you. Thank you"

I don't know what his thanking me for and i don't ask. I just let him hug me.

Several minutes tick by before he pulls away and whipes his tears.

"I'm sorry, I'm a mess, i don't think we met my names John-"

"I totally understood. I'm sure you know my name but I'll tell you anyway. Nice to meet you John. I'm Emma"

"Hello Emma" he smiles wide at me.

Callen and his men watch silently and let me confront the older man.

"What did you want to ask baby?" Callen askes me softly.

"Oh.. Um.. i- i just wanted to ask for a favor"

He raises his eyebrows up at me and waits.

"I need to leave-"

"NO" he snaps loudly

"Just hear me out-

" I fucking said no"

Finally i snap. I'm trying to do something fucking nice for him and this is what i get. No.

"SHUT UP" I yell at him.

I know my eyes are the ones blazing now. I have had enough of his asshole ways.

"What did-"

Raising my hand up i stop him.

" If you would let me finish what i wanted to fucking say you would know that i just need to run some errands for your mothers party tonight! I know I'm stuck here. I know i can't leave. I know you have to keep up your image for your whatever the fuck it is that you do. Im trying to do something nice for you even after all that you have done to me and you won't even let me finish a sentence" i scream back at him. My chest heaving hard showing my anger.

His eyes widen. His never heard me this angry before. Good. Maybe now he will shut up and listen.

"Emma-" he starts softly.

"No. I just need a answer. Yes or no?"

He looks at me for several minutes. I feel his eyes boring into mine.

Suddenly he tells the men to all leave.

Great now I'm alone with him.

Narrowing my eyes at him i stay silent.

"Look. You need to understand something. The the first time in my life, i feel things i never thought i would feel. You was only supposed to me my prisoner. A way for me to make sure other know not to fuck with me. I didn't fucking think you would come into my perfect black world and cause color to finally be seen. You need to give me some slack Emma. I'm trying. You can't just go off into town alone. People... i have other enemies. Ones that if they know how i feel towards you they will use you against me. I have never had a weak spot. Nothing that they would have done would have hurt me but now.. now i have a weakness and that's you. You became my soft spot and those who want me to fall and wouldnt care that you needed to die in order to achieve that goal. Do you understand?"

He looks at me closely.
