     "Oh boy! all this delay, freaks me out", the lady on red hood sighed as she face palmed herself...

"For crying out loud, when are you guys gonna get the gems?!", She yelled at Morgan's men who murmured to each other...

"Silence!!", She snapped, the hall became quiet...

"Get out!! All of you, I mean out!! Out of this building...now!!, Don't come back unless you have the gems", she snarled, gritting her teeth, all forty men, dashed out of the hall, grumbling.....

"Ugh!! Great, now I sound like Morgan", She sighed, and sat on a swivel chair, crossing her legs on the table...

just wait till I lay my hands on those gems..a lady needs to fend for herself...how am I gonna put that up for auction? She thought as she licked her lips and smiled..

"Looks like someone is in need of those gems badly....Aww, tsk, tsk,tsk.." She heard someone say, behind her....she swiveled the chair alarmed as she met the twinkling eyes of the Hunter...

"How did you.....?", She asked surprised as she checked the door...

"Well a guy has his way of doing things, besides I stole the gems... c'mon show some respect girl...", He said smirking at her....

A smile formed at a corner of her lips.

"So you've come to hand over the gems?", She asked, standing up and walking closer to him..

"Yunno cutie...I kinda have a huge crush on you".she cooed...

"Wow!", He said, stifling a laughter...

"I thought you were Morgan's loyal girl".

"Well... I'm still free to crush aren't I?", She asked as she caressed his face and walked round him in circles.....

"Like i care", He scoffed..."where's Morgan?!"

"Why asking? I'm not good enough for you? Awww you're hurting my feelings", she pouted...

"Where the hell is he?". He growled...

"Uh, you told me earlier that a guy has his way of doing things...why don't you figure it out yourself?", She asked with a smirk..

"Cut the jokes off girl....where is he?", He snarled, grabbing her neck and trying to glance at her face, she looked away, hiding her face as she held his hand which gripped her neck....

"Can't..... breathe", she coughed out....and he released her, pushing her to the floor..

"Ugh!! you have a way of manhandling ladies," she scoffed, getting off the floor, and taking out a dagger from her boots....

"Looks like you wanna have it the hard way", she muttered....

He gazed at her with a raised eyebrow...

"Seriously? Look I don't want to hurt you.... don't make me bruise that pretty face okay?". He said....

"You won't!!", She snapped as she dashed at him, he grabbed the hand holding the dagger and swirled her around, embracing her from behind..

"More like a dance... Milady?", He whispered to her ears...

"Arrgh!!", She growled, hitting him with her right hand elbow, he let go of her, holding the dagger...

She pointed a pistol at him...

"Drop your weapon....it's over!!", She smirked....he glanced at his pocket and shook his head...

"You're smart though...now hand over my gun... I'll give you your dagger", he said....

"No fucking way! Stay back or I'll shoot", her hands trembled as she, pointed the gun at him....

"You don't want to do that...do you?", He smirked...

"I will...if you force me to...", She replied, still trembling...

Just then, the Hunter felt a slight prick on his neck as he touched the spot and pulled out a syringe - like object, then fell to the ground, dizzily....

The red lady gasped, still holding the gun, she looked behind him..

"We got your back ma'am". Two of Morgan's men said, walking in...

"Took you long enough!", She snapped....

"We're sorry ma'am", they apologized, picking up Steve and dragging him out of the hall....

"Awww! Pretty boy's in danger", she murmured and pouted, then picked up her dagger and returned to her chair....

Aww! Poor Steve 😥
