Pained.

Eighteen.

It was a typical night for Malik and Kane. They both would stay up all night talking because they couldn't sleep due to their nightmares. Since Kane had recovered most of his memory, he was able to be more open about things. He and Malik told each other everything since they'd been here, with the exception of Kane telling him about Clint. The only people who knew about his past with Clint was Damien and Anica. It was something he planned on taking to the grave with him. Malik and Kane both sat across from each other on the large couch, munching on snacks and playing twenty-one questions.

"Ryder or Greg?" Malik laughed as he posed the question.

"Most definitely Ryder. Have ya' seen dat body? Nevermind, I forgot ya' straight." Kane joked.

Malik chuckled, "I remember one time when Aiden was performing oral on me, which for a man he did a splendid job. But anyways, I was moaning and I ended up moaning my girlfriend's name. He beat the bloody hell out of me that night. I was so sore the next morning, I just stayed in bed all day."

They both laughed loudly.

"Okay, my turn. What was your girlfriend like?" Kane asked as he munched on some strawberries.

"Jiani was amazing. She was so beautiful and kindhearted. I didn't think my life could get any better until I met her. Every time I heard her voice, I just got these butterflies in my stomach. She could cook, she had an amazing personality, and she could lull you to sleep with her beautiful singing. We never argued, never stepped out on each other. She was perfect to me. I was going to propose to her the day after I got kidnapped. I had everything planned. I miss her so much."

"Ya' should call ha'. Joy put some untraceable phones in da' bag." Kane went and got one of the phones from the next room over, "Hea', call ha' Lik."

"I'm scared Kane. I can't talk to her after what she saw happen to me. What if she doesn't look at me the same anymore?"

"What happened?"

"What's wrong?" Aiden asked Malik as he moved the food around on his plate. He didn't have an appetite, he just wanted to go home and be with his soon to be fiancée.

"You really want to know what's wrong with me?" Malik slammed his fork down. "You bloody kidnapped me and brought me to your hotel. My family is probably worried sick about me and my girlfriend is probably losing her mind wondering when I'll arrive home."

Aiden sat his knife and fork down slowly. He picked up his handkerchief and wiped his mouth.

"What did I tell you about mentioning her in my presence?"

"I didn't even want to be in your presence! I was fine back home in Winchester. I was about to propose to my girlfriend tonight but you kidnapped me and you ruined that!"
