Tristan's POV

I grinned at Jennifer who was lost in a stare. This girl made me happy even when she didn't mean to. I dropped in the lounge chair and stretched.
"Its only a matter of time before those men come back to ask us questions about what happened", her stern voice spoke above me. She placed a hand on my chest and I placed my hand over hers, savoring the warmth.
"Sit", I commanded expecting some comments but she did so, seating herself on my lap. "You've got nothing to worry about", I say placing kisses onto her back. She shuddered.
"Tristan its not that, you're getting me in more trouble", she answers as my hands caress her stomach. I was a minute from ripping her clothes apart. "I need to find you somewhere to stay until-"
"No", I told her breathing against her neck and grabbing her throat.
"Its not a choice", she told me as I squeezed. I lightly bit her ear, my breath becoming harder from anger. Its like she just doesn't get that Im not going to stay away from her. "You have to go somewhere safe where-"
"I said ENOUGH!" I told her sternly. After about three seconds she got up from my lap.
"Who the fuck are you talking to?" She asks getting onto my lap and roughly kissing my lips. I kissed back and squeezed her ass, hard. I held her and got up but as hard as I tried to get to the living room, it just wasn't happening. I got as far as the chairs but that could do. I stripped her and held her throat, locking lips.
"Do you want me?" I asked sucking on her neck. She nodded and groaned as I put the tip in. In this position, I was definitely in control. I placed my finger in her mouth deepening myself in her as arms pulled me closer.

I watched as she discarded the remains of whatever poor fool she placed in the pool of acid.
"So what about school?" I asked her and she shrugged tying the garbage bag. "I quit this morning. Why? Did you plan on going tomo-"
"No", I answered before she could finish. She looked at me then shook her head with a smirk.
"Is Jennifer your real name? Or is it..,Bella?" I asked and she stopped to look at me, hazel eyes deep in mine. Its like time stopped whenever she wanted it to.
"Neither", she briefly answered and I continued to wait for an answer that never came. I mean, Im not supposed to know her by anything other than her alias right? Sigh. "Ok give me your phone", she commanded and did so. She took the sim out and handed the dissembled phone to me.
"Why-"
"Listen, on this estate you no longer take calls or answer texts. If you want to make a call use a payphone and even then you've got fourty-five seconds before they tap in and like a minute before they trace your location", she began adjusting her lace shorts. The dangling strings didn't give her any more coverage. "If anyone comes at that gate and Im not here, you immediately go into the secret room and hide. If they are police men..." she sorta paused. "...you let them take you."
"What? So is this like some secret spy shit? Like from the movies?"
   The air became humid but she didn't answer my question, only looked at me. I saw her contemplating but when she opened her mouth, it was not to respond to me question.
"Go get dressed, I put some clothes on the bed for you. I need a joint", she mumbled the last part and disappeared into the kitchen. I did as she asked, returning only after being attired.

  With a bagel in her mouth, she installed an almost microscopic earpiece into my ear and whiles chewing off the rest of the bagel, she gave me a box of contacts which I fought with but managed to get in.
"What is all this?" I finally asked as she got a tv remote. Pressing the power button, the wall began to open up and a large flat screen popped up. I was flabbergasted watching her press another button and a clear-I think even glass- keyboard appeared.
"I see and hear everything that you do", was her blunt reply as her fingers dashed across the keyboard. I chuckled unbelievably seeing my line of sight on the television. Contain yourself Tris.
"Thats fucking cool but why?"
"Cause you're going on a mission", she answered and my excitement halted.
"Excuse me-what?" I asked and she gave me a look. "You're not-you're not serious right?" her eyebrow raised. "Can I at least get a gun?" She shook her head and I could feel the sweat popping up on my forehead.
"Take my lambo, I changed the plates", she folded her arms and stared at me. "Y-you car? Why do I need your cat?"
"Tristan just go. The address is already programmed into the car, all you have to do is let it take you there then wait for further instructions." I shook like a leaf getting in that car. It was pretty cool but I felt like bait..like the worms fishers used to catch the fish.
"Good evening Tristan, seatbelts please", the car spoke. The CAR spoke. I wrapped the seatbelt around me and the car started moving. Ok...

"Why-why am I doing this again?" I asked into the earpiece walking around the restaurant. It was classy, elegant CHIC and all but I stuck out like a sore thumb by being alone.
"Sit at the bar", she commanded. I waltzed over to the bar and took a seat nodding at the bartender who returned the gesture.
"N-now what?"
"Do you always stutter when you're scared?" Jennifer's sexy voice asked. I shook my head knowing that she could see the movement. "Turn slightly to the right, you see her? Go talk to her, be smooth."
"I hope you're not s-setting me up to die", I whispered and she cut back by telling me to stop stuttering. Ok, one glass of smooth a la Tris coming right up.
  I got up and moved over to the young lady. She wore a shiny black dress that clung to her body the way leeches clung onto skin. Her black hair was just as shiny and her red lips added flame to the fire.
"Hi, couldn't help but notice that you're all alone", I began and she looked at me, intently. "Beautiful women shouldn't be alone." Her eyes were intense and I liked it.
"Yeah? Well what does me being beautiful have to do with being alone?" She asked in a thick English accent.
"Because I don't know how any man could resist the urge of speaking to you because I definitely couldn't", I said with a little smile. Pow pow!
  Her lips formed a blushing smile and I was successful. "You certainly do have a way with words", she told me sipping the rest of her martini.
"Order something", Jennifer spoke into my ear. I continued smiling and raised my hand to gesture the bartender.
  When the man came over, I looked at the woman who was smiling at me. "Yes can I get two dirty martinis, make it extra dirty."
"Ask her why she's here", Jennifer spoke. It was so loud, hard to believe no one but me heard it.
"Can I ask why you're alone?" I asked and she sighed, pushing her hair to the side unleashing her arm of diamonds. Woah...
"It was too much..." she gestured around searching for the word. "...everything. It was too much."
"Elaborate."
"I cannot explain but sometimes little is good", I spoke and she stopped and smiled again. The martinis returned and she took a moment before sipping hers.
"You know, you didn't quite tell me your name", she offered.
"Sebastian. My name is Sebastian Ruthly", I told her extending a hand. She took it telling me her name in return: "Molly." We shared a long warm handshake until she pulled away.
"So tell me Sebastian why are you here?" She asked.
"Going offline", Jennifer spoke into my ear and I felt the sweat trickle down my spine.
"What?" I asked referring to Jennifer. Molly leaned back and sipped her martini, eyeing me as she asked again. I quickly searched for words.
"I was here on account of someone but I guess, she flaked."
"Same but I wouldn't say flake. I'd say, if you move a muscle you die", was her response. I knew it! I knew that I was bait! I looked down at my chest where several red dots had decided to hold a family reunion.
"Now who is that in your ear?" Her voice asked. I wanted to just die at that exact moment. Molly chuckled now pointing a gun of her own at my thigh. Why would Jen put my life in danger in such a way?
"I-I-no one", I answered with my arms up. I trembled like a leaf during a hurricane. Molly gestured and my earpiece was yanked out and smashed.
"You imbecile, who do you work for?" She asked and I shook my head, swearing that I worked for no one. A few men came and held me, basically hoisting me off of the stool.
  As soon as Molly got up to shoot me, one by one the men beside me were taken out. By now, the entire place had evacuated with screams of panic and terror.
  My knight-I mean woman in shining armor Jennifer appeared in sight. She wore a red hot dress and her white hair was left dangling among her shoulders. She was bare faced and absolutely gorgeous. "You ok?"she asked me and I nodded. I looked down at my chest and saw that the red dots have disappeared.
"A, you fool. My men will rush in any minute to take you out", Molly spoke. Jennifer's reaction didn't shift as she spun around, aiming at Molly.

"A bigger fool you are because all of your men are dead. Its just me and you now." Jennifer spoke and I took that as my cue to go. I began to walk away when a bullet was fired directly into my spine. I groaned but it was swallowed by the echoes of more bullets being fired. I gasped for air from the painful pressure of the bullet and my airway became tight.
