"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs. I quickly grab one of them so she can stop hurting herself and put pressure on my palm instead. "I need you to stop crying and go rest now. I think that would be best for you." "But..." "No buts. I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?" She sniffs as she holds out her little finger and I find myself smiling at her. "Of course." I wrap my finger with hers.
