y/n sat on the window seat, looking at the leaves blow around, forming a small tornado from it and disappear seconds after. she pulled her legs up to her chest not breaking the contact she had with the outside, and laid her head on her knees, but when she did so, the door bursts open, causing her to jump up and look to see who it was.

"relax kitten" ben said smoothly as he pulled out articles of clothing from her closet and drawers. before she could ask what he was doing he walked over to her holding the items he picked in his hands.

"i need you to put this on"
she gently grabbed them curious on what he was doing and looked at what she held. red bottoms heels, a black dress (that looked seriously short for a so called 'dress'), long black dress gloves that went up to her elbow.

"what for?" she asked bringing her gaze back to his. "i will explain when we leave"

"leave" she whispered to myself. "what do you-" she stopped talking once she heard the door close. she let out a breath and headed to the bathroom too take a shower. after finishing she did her hair, and put on her shoes, along with the gloves. she left out of the room, at the right time when henry came out also re-loading a gun. henry quickly put it behind his back before she could get a good glimpse at the object in his hand. his appearance was different also, so it took her a few seconds to realize who it was.

"what was that?" y/n asked. "nothing- you look beautiful, new dress? get a haircut?" he asked changing the subject.

"i did actually. ben said it was safety reasons...do you like it?" she answered getting a quick memory a few months ago of when ben had chrissy cut her hair so when she went out, she couldn't be as recognizable by people.

"yes, the highlight really make your hair pop- well come on now" he walked up to her still holding the gun behind his back, he softly placed his hand on her back as they walked down the stairs to the others. when they did, they all had guns out practicing their aim with the different guns they had. not only did they have guns, but they had different appearances also, like fake tattoos, haircuts etc.
she gasped getting their attention. all of the other members arms fell behind their backs.

"we broke the one rule ben told us, and that was not to show the gun we had to y/n" josh stated which earned him a smack on the back of his head from robert. "shut up" he whispered. "guns? why do you have-"

"i said i'll explain when in the car" she heard a deep british accent in her ear, giving her goosebumps. he had his hands placed on her sides as he lead them out of the house. everyone got into separate cars, two in each one. y/n and ben got into a car together leaving after the others.

"alright," ben let out a breath glancing at y/n who was already looking at him waiting for a explanation on what was going on. "i know this is all sudden, but you should know by now i'm sudden with a lot of things, kitten" he chuckled trying to light up her mood but it didn't work. she just kept a straight face at him as he glanced at her. his smile faltered as he thought of the best way to explain what was happening.

"here's what-"
"are you finally killing me?" she blurted out. "what?" his face dropped to a confused one.
"cause i knew this day was going to happen. i mentally and physically prepared myself" she continued. "no, i'm not—doing that"

he stopped a block down from what seemed like a strip club. she side eyed him with a scrunched up face.

"i need you to do something for me" ben said in a serious tone. he pulled out his phone and showed her a photo of a man. "i need you to find him. he's inside, i know for sure cause my eye guy spotted him. i need you to take him somewhere private, and kill him" he nonchalantly let out the last two words.

y/n almost lost her breath when she heard that. she whimpered out noises as she tried to say something but she knew that even if she tried hard enough to back out of something, ben always found a way to make her do it. that's just the kind of person ben was, he like to throw orders around, how else did he become a leader in a gang.

y/n held the phone in her hand and studied the photo as he passed her knife. "i'll be inside, all of us will. we'll make sure nothing happens to you" he tried to relax her but she was still panicking on the inside.

ben gave her a strap to put around her leg to hold the knife in. they went through the back where all the outfits—more like lingerie stayed. they headed down a long hallway hearing the muffled music become clearer. they reached the packed place, the air was thick and it smelled like alcohol and perfume. ben held her body close to his as they went over to the corner of the club where the sofas were.

"do i look like machine gun kelly yet?" robert asked as a joke to the others when he looked at the tattoos he had on. "no" nick replied bluntly. y/n and ben sat on another sofa away from them. she looked around hoping not to see the person they came looking for. she felt ben's hand run through her hair and place it behind her neck as he looked around also. she saw him sit up straighter as the guy was spotted in the crowd. she looked at him, as he nervously but his lip. he didn't want to admit it out loud but he was scared on what could go wrong in this situation.

"i'll be around the corner, how about that?" he said changing his plan not wanting her go alone without any supervision. she slowly nodded her head as she felt him give her hand a squeeze.
