Matías is an illegal immigrant living in the shadows, working as a waiter to survive. Quiet, shy and reserved all he ever wanted was a peaceful life. Lucas is an ICE officer, a racist predator in a uniform who hunts people like Matías, to him they are not people they are simply illegal Aliens. When Matías runs, the chase is inevitable and so is the capture. But instead of a detention cell, Lucas takes interest in the feminine boy and violates protocol. He is given a choice: Lucas's cage or the government's.

I hear breathing behind me and a shadow rises on the door, i freeze in fear. "Morning sleeping beauty, leaving already?" The ICE officer, says with a lopsided smile, like he's not used to moving that muscle and arms crossed, with shoulders wide as the doorframe itself.
"You locked the door," I whisper, while struggling to breathe.
"No kidding." His voice is deep i can almost feel it rumble off the walls, he's definitely angry. "You run, I chase. That's the whole dance, right? But I'm tired. So we change the steps." He says, stalking towards me slowly like he's anticipating me running away.
I back away until my calves hit the door. "Why am I here? Why not... the detention centre?"
He flashes teeth, half grin, half snarl, and sweeps a hand at the chaos around us. "Look around, princess. Does this look like a place that's ever seen a woman's touch? Laundry everywhere, fridge empty, dishes fossilised in the sink. I need someone soft in the house. Someone to balance all...," he thumps a fist against his chest, "...this."
My stomach drops. "I'm not a woman."
His eyes rake me head to toe. "Could've fooled me when you dropped those plates, sweetheart. But you know what? Doesn't matter. You'll do."
