Two Broken People

Security and Adaptation

                                                                                      Elliot P.O.V.

  Oh friend this is bad those men who were following us chased Tori halfway across town. I'm pretty sure the Dark Army is getting restless with Tori's father not responding and Tori not telling him about the kidnapping. I didn't want for this to happen. HE told me it wouldn't. How could I be this stupid? How could I believe any of the shit Mr. Robot told me? This had put her in danger, and now I didn't know if we had any chance of saving her family. If I had never agreed to join F Society then none of this would've happened. I should've walked away. I should've- wait. Oh...shit. Friend this means that White Rose might be coming HERE to oversee everything that the Dark Army is doing. I know she can be hostile. Tori might be a chess piece in their thirst for power but I won't allow it to happen. Tori is a normal women. A good woman. She didn't ask for her family to get kidnapped. She didn't ask for her own father to get blackmailed into helping take down the company he's worked for. Even if Evil Corp is an evil company, that never justifies the killing of innocent lives. Hopefully Tori's father sees the light. Hopefully he agrees to taking down Evil Corp. I don't believe he has a choice. His family is on the line. I wonder if Tori already contacted him. I wonder if he is on his way right now. No matter what though I will protect Tori no matter the cost. She's innocent. A by stander. A woman with her own daemons but a good woman none the less. Hopefully, maybe someday she'll be with me in the long run, but right now I don't have the luxury of pursuing her just yet. I need to get her out of danger.  

  I tracked her new phone with the tracking device I installed on it earlier through google maps. Hopefully no one is following me, friend. I can't risk going back to the apartment. Not with the Dark Army out there trying to take her from me. I won't let that happen. I can't let that happen. I finally found her. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to an alley way that had a huge dumpster in the corner. I walked over to the dumpster with caution. I heard a nervous sniffle like someone was hiding behind the dumpster, trying not to cry of make a sound. Tori. I cautiously walked around the dumpster and found a frightened woman, clutching her phone, holding back tears that threatened to fall from her tear ducts. She sighed and ran over to me and hugged me. When I didn't hug her back she mumbled," I'm sorry.",  and quickly released me from the hug. "I'm just really glad to see you.", she continued and looked around her as if she was in a constant state of panic, "Where are we going to hide?" I thought about going to F Society's headquarters, but that would be too risky. Then I thought about going to the one place that I said I'd never go unless there were no other options. "We're going to a friend of mine's. Just until your dad comes. The Dark Army won't look there.", I said with confidence. I think this might be risky but I have no other choices and the most important thing is to keep Tori safe and out of the Dark Army's clutches. I took her to Tyrell's. The one place they wouldn't search for her. 

                                                                                         Tori's P.O.V.

  We walked up to a very nice town house, and I started to feel uneasy. "Who's place is this?", I asked him. He didn't answer, and he looked nervous. 'Oh no.', I thought as I looked at the door, 'This wasn't who's house I thought it was, was it?' "This is....this is....", I said nervously. "Who's house is this?", I asked again flustered while waiting for someone to answer the door. "Tyrell.", Elliot said silently as he looked away from my eyes. Tyrell Wellick. The extremely handsome, extremely scary, extremely intimidating, man who threatened me the other night. "No,", I said as I turned to leave. Elliot grabbed my arm,"Tori, this is the only place you'll be safe. You have to trust me. It's the one place the Dark Army will not look." "He threatened me. The other night. He terrifies me, Elliot.", I tried to reason with him. Elliot looked at the ground, and then looked back up at me,"This is the only place you'll be safe." My breathing picked up as I looked into his eyes, begging him to take me back to his apartment. "Then you'll have to stay with me. Please don't leave me. I want you to be safe too, but I don't want you to leave me. Please. Please stay with me. Please.", I begged him. Elliot sighed and stepped closer and kissed my forehead, "I won't leave you." "Promise?", I anxiously waited for his response. He sighed again, "I promise." While we were still embracing the door opened to reveal a very tired Tyrell. We separated so quick we both didn't know if Tyrell saw but he did. "Elliot. What brings you here?", he only addressed Elliot and not me. I internally rolled my eyes but kept my terrified poker face. I could tell that this guy had the hots for Elliot. He was totally gay. That didn't stop him from pretending to be straight though. He had to keep up appearances. I just stared at the ground as we walked in the door of his town home. 'Please I just want this nightmare to be over with.' , I internally screamed.  "We need a place to stay. Tori and I. It's only for a little while.", I heard Elliot say. "Oh you do?", I heard Tyrell say as he looked in my direction. I quickly looked back at the ground. Those cold blue eyes had a way of getting the truth from you even if you resisted. No sense in looking into them.
