Chapter 3: Sometimes Crazy Works

Two days ago:

At Phil Brooks mansion in Riverwood, Sasha had just finished taking a hot bath. She walked downstairs in her rope and poured herself a glass of wine. Suddenly, her phone rang. She answered without thinking.

"Sasha, this is a friend of Phil's. He's been taken out. You need to leave the house." A stranger said through the phone.

Sasha dropped her glass of wine and ran upstairs in a panic. She threw on a pair of jeans and an old flannel shirt. Tears filled her eyes as she threw everything she could in a suitcase. She opened the nightstand door and put in the code to open a safe. Inside was a large stack of cash, a passport, and a gun. She grabbed everything and ran outside. After throwing her bags in the back she jumped in the drivers seat and started the car. She froze for a moment, not believing what was happening. As Sasha drove of she called her close friend, Peyton.

"Hey girl, what's up? Did you try on that dress I sent you?" Peyton asked as she answered the phone.

"Where are you? Are you with Tye?" Sasha asked.

"Yeah, he's inside-." Peyton began to say as she saw two men walked into the living room and approach Tye.

"Peyton?" Sasha asked.

"There's men. They've got Tye!" Peyton told her.

Peyton watched through the large window as one of the men shot Tye in the head.

"No!" Peyton cried out.

"What's going on?" Sasha asked.

"They shot him." Peyton told her.

"Run Peyton! Run." Sasha told her.

Peyton ran through the yard with tears in her eyes, not realizing that the men had seen her. Not too far down the road, Sasha pulled up.

"Get in!" Sasha yelled as she opened the door.

Peyton jumped in the passenger seat as the two men shot at them from a distance. Sasha sped off quickly.

"What the hell is going on?" Peyton asked as she looked over at Sasha in a state of shock.

Present day:

In the warehouse, Adam had tied Sasha's hands behind her back as he sat her in a chair. Hunter walked in to the cage and took a seat across from her. Sasha looked up at Dean as he walked in and stood behind Hunter.

"You killed two of my wife's men." Hunter told her.

Sasha just stared at him.

"Do you want to tell me why she is looking for you?" Hunter asked.

"I don't know anything." Sasha told him.

Hunter watched her for a moment.

"Do you know who killed Phil?" Hunter asked.

"I'm just the girlfriend. I don't know anything." Sasha assure shim.

Dean looked down at her skeptically.

"Yeah, I doubt that." Hunter said as he stood up.

Dean looked at him curiously.

"Keep her here until she wants to talk." Hunter told him.

Dean stood there for a moment and looked at Sasha before following Hunter out of the cage.

Suddenly, Seth walked in the warehouse as Roman approached them.
