Power Moves - Exodus

Chapter 24: Loyalty

The lukewarm water dripping off of his bare chest, Cut Throat felt the slight figure enter the shower, she was besides him. Adrenaline pumped through his veins, he would never have thought he would feel this way having someone in the shower with him. He blindfolded his eyes, he didn't think he would be able to control himself if he were to see her that way....and he was keenly aware that he was becoming more and more impulsive when it came to her, and that was not a good thing. He spent painstaking time trying to get hold of his inner demons, of which Cut Throat had plenty, thus being impulsive was highly disadvantageous to him. He could smell blood he hadn't cleaned off since yesterday. He listened in , the water sounded slightly dense

"You didn't take off your clothes.." He said to her, his eyes turning in her direction

"Better do it, or else i will" he continued

"N-no...i-i-do-dont want to..." she said softly

"You need to apply this all over your body..." he said, his head pointing in the direction of a bottle that stood on the shelf above the shower "It will help reduce your scent..in case they send guard dogs to find us.."

Silence followed , he could feel her thinking and contemplating about what he said, he heard her then struggling to pull on something

"Who...who is lo-looking for us...?" Leila asked gently

"I am not sure exactly who they are..but I know they are coming..."

"...Can you help me with my zip please?"

Cut Throat was caught off guard, for one, he thought she was about to argue. He felt a soft hand gently catch onto his, and lead it till he felt a small metal hatch, he tried pulling it off softly, but she was right... it was stuck. If he put too much force onto it, the zip would break and ruin the beautiful dress. He tried tugging at it, but his hands were too big, and the part of the cloth stuck in it would still not budge. Cut Throat gently bent down his head till his mouth was at the helm of the zip and lightly tugged it, He felt leila gasp, his mouth gently kissing the back of her neck in the process, but the zip managed to let loose.

"Th-th-thanks.." she said, moving from him as she started to take it out.

It was my pleasure my love. Cut Throat thought silently

K.O. Checked his phone again, there was still no reply from him. He checked his last text to him

"Get the fuck out of there , they are on their way !"

He entered the lift and pressed the big red B button, it would take him down to the basement. Getting out, K.O. could see a curly haired boy seated on the chair tied up, blood oozing out of his face

"I'm asking for the last time, little bastard before I really split your face open...why the fuck was she there !" KO said angrily

It was the same room, where they had the selection process of the new C40 recruits. The room was pretty dark , with only one tube light that stood directly in front the chair that Justin was on.

"I...i didnt know ! Really KO you have to believe me ! I was just instructed to hand her the invite !"

"Instructed by whom?"

"Skinner "

"You want me to believe that Skinner asked you to give that advertisement to Leila"

"Ye-"

Just then the door opened, and Skinner walked in, "What's going on here K.O. !"

"This little bastard here is saying you instructed him to give the advertisement to Leila , the one that led to her being that at house !"
