"You sure were in the bathroom awhile"

...

"That's a ladies business" you told Nathan and he continued to watch you eat your food.

Once you were finished, he paid the bill and grabbed you by the arm, dragging you back out to the vehicle. Once again you were in the passenger seat anxious as you headed towards what Nathan called "headquarters". After speaking with your boyfriend, you were reassured to know your family was still searching for you. The rosary in your pocket gave you comfort as you glanced at Nathan.

"What?" he asked you in a stern tone. "Nothing.." "Don't be so scared alright? Take a nap. Namor isn't going to hurt you. I'll get my money and you'll go on your merry little way with a man who likes you so much he paid to have you kidnapped with romanticism" "Please stop that Nathan.." you gripped your skirt with a frown, "You have no idea how I feel" He smiled and snatched your shades off your head, "I can't take you seriously with those barbie glasses on. It will be okay alright?" "You held me at gun point in the diner" you glared at him. "Doesn't mean I don't care about you okay? If I didn't, I would have left you with Namor" "You didn't leave me with Namor because of the money!!" you looked out window annoyed and he went silent.

Hours dragged on in the vehicle with no music. Eventually your eyes heavied and you fell asleep hoping it was all just a dream.

When you opened your eyes, you were no longer moving. Instead, you found yourself in a parking lot infront of an eerie building. It was hidden behind trees and looked somewhat rundown despite the modern look. You glanced at Nathan with a fast beating heart. He had on his mask which scared you as he looked into your eyes.

You were shocked to see his notepad waiting for you with writing on it.

"Don't be scared. Stay close to me. Everyone will be wearing masks and not speaking so I advice you keep your mouth shut aswell"

"Nathan I'm scared.." you muttered and you heard him sigh before getting out the car and going over to the passenger side. He opened the door for you and took your hand in his. Slowly you walked along side the tall male feeling nervousness with every step.

It felt as though death was awaiting you through those doors. Whoever it was who bought you meant business, and you were never more afraid. A putrid smell hit your nose as you walked in the building. There were people wearing masks with different facial expressions on them looking at you. You gripped Nathan's hand tighter and he brought you closer to his body.

It was complete silent apart from the combination of your footsteps. The buildings paint was peeling but the doors seemed sturdy. The windows were cleaned and surprisingly there weren't any holes in the roof. It felt like you were walking forever until you came across an elevator. You didn't trust it one bit but you had no choice as Nathan pressed the up button and stepped in.

There were 4 floors and Nathan pressed the top one. You were about to speak until another person with a mask hopped in the elevator. He had on a shocked face masked and it looked as though he was staring at you as he faced your way. This made you grow even more uncomfortable as you hugged yourself against Nathan's arm.

The man with the shocked face mask got off on the second floor and soon you reached the top. You walked some more, holding Nathan's hand until you reached a giant door.

Nathan knocked three times snd it creaked open.

You walked inside and a person wearing a mask was sitting in a chair with a desk infront.

This is his boss.. a woman.

Her mask had red lipstick on its smiling mouth.

You watched as Nathan slid her a note.

"I have the product yet the buyer has not come to claim. It's been days. Why haven't you answer my texts or calls?"

You were shaking.

"What ever do you mean?" The woman actually spoke which shocked you, "I have received no calls and we've already gotten confirmation that the buyer has received the product"

??

Nathan wrote more notes.

"How can that be so? She's right here"

"Like I said.. we've gotten the confirmation and picture evidence that the buyer has received the product" the boss lady continued feeling the tension in the air, "How have you not gotten into contact with him?" "Excuse me.." you spoke up and Nathan's head shot to you, "He's telling the truth. I've been with him and the other masked man for days" "Other masked man?" the boss asked confused and looked back at Nathan, "You were the only one assigned to this job"

It went silent for a few moments before Nathan scribbled more words down growing angry.

"Namor was on the case with me boss. I called to get him taken off. You never answered"

"You are never to mention a colleagues name especially infront of a product!!" she raised her voice sternly and you jumped, "He was never assigned to this job!! He is in the torturer department and you know that. Now get out of my sight, you're wasting my time" Nathan grew sick of writing, "This is bullshit!! I've been having to deal with Namor this entire job!! She can back me up. He told me he traded to the kidnappers department. He waited with me in that house for the buyer and no one showed!!"

The boss stood up suddenly and Nathan grabbed your hand taking a step back.

"Leave my office. You have spoken out of turn and come to me with nonsense. Take the product back to the buyer and get out of my sight"

...

Nathan removed his mask in the car and you could see his confusion and anger.

"But.. I don't understand" You stayed quiet and before you knew it, Nathan was banging his fist on the wheel. "FUCK. He played me!!"

To be continued.
