Chapter 2
I watch the passing house warily, I knew we were in the upper part of town and that made me nervous. I completely ignored the two men arguing still unsure of how I got into theis situation. We finally stopped at a gate and, once opened, we made our way to the front door.
“What’s your name?” I turned my attention onto Skull and just stared at him. “I asked you a question are you unable to speak?” I blushed.
“Sage sir. My friends call me Sage.” Skull nodded.
“Sage how are you with cars, Max told me you helped a couple out with car troubles and thought you would be able to assist us.”
“My father was a mechanic and owned his own business. I was his only child so he passed on the knowledge to me in hopes that I would take over the business.” It was true but I didn’t want the company so I turned it over to a friend of the families.
“Can you prove it?” I nodded warily.
“What would you like me to do?” I jumped as the door opened and quickly stepped out followed by Skull and Max. There were several men standing around with guns.
“CHASE!” One of the men guarding the front door ran to us andbowed to Skull who was standing behind me. “Take her!” he shoved me making Chase have to catch me before I fell. “To the garage. Have her try and fix the bird.” Chase bowed again and dragged me off.
~Time Laps~
“I’m done.” I said exhaustedly as I pulled myself from under the “bird. It was midnight blue porche with giant black wings painted on he side. Chase gave me a look that said he didn’t believe me. “What?”
“Five hours!” I just stared at him confused. “This took our last mechanic five hours to fix. You did it in three.” I just gaped at him, I mean it hadn’t been easy but five hours was insane. I mean honestly all it need was a really good tune up. I mean it took me longer than it should of and that was three hours. “That means you did something wrong!” that made me angry.
“Try it, and then doubt me.” Chase nodded and hopped in. It started smoothly and I smirked as he shut it off. I was proud of myself. I turned as the garage door opened and a man came running in followed by two men. The came to stop staring at the Bird. The watched chase getting out of the hummer.
“You fixed it?” I turned my attention onto the man who was now standing next to me. I recognized him immediately but made sure not to let it show. Chase pointed at me causing the man to turn his attention on me his expression turned to shock. “A girl!”
“Yes a girl!” I responded. What was up with all the biastness. “now what is going on. I do not like the fact that I was forced into a car and dragged here just to fix a car. I mean this car was basically in pieces how…”
“STOP RAMBLING!” I went silent. “How good are you with guns?”
“Hate them!” he turned his back to me.
“Kill her!” I turned to see the man on the right raise his gun and acted on instinct. I haad him pinned and the gun in my hand within seconds. The man looked at me in fake shock, he knew I could do much more, and smirked at me. “You’ll do. Come!” I sighed and followed letting the goon up. He led me to a study and shut the door behind him. I saw a few men standing guard before it closed.
“Angel. What are you doing here?” The man asked.
“It’s not like I signed up for this Alex!”
“What happened to Ashton” He asked motioning for me to take a seat as did he.
“They turned her down. I was sitting outside when a couple pulled up and I helped them with their car while waiting for Jason. Next thing I know I’m in a car with Skull!” I whispered loudly. “This was not the plan! Ashton was supposed to be here not me!” I said.
“I know and he probably still will be. They need a gun man as well but they’ve been in need of a mechanic. But since you are here you will follow the plan. You may have a bedroom near mine.” I nodded. “JASON!” the door opened. “Escort…”
“Sage”
“Escort sage to the spare bedroom near mine.”
“Yes sir.” I stood up.
“Sage.” I looked at him. “Me and Skull will expect you at dinner.” he turned to some papers in dismissal.
“Come!” I nodded and followed Jason out of the room.

FOR HIRE Ch 1
FOR HIRE
I glared at the drunk who passed by me. “How much longer?” I asked my partner of around a year. He was sitting with me at the bar focusing his attention on those around him.
“Not much we just need to get Ashton in and were gone.” He looked over to the boy who was sitting by himself in a booth. We had been planning this for several months and I would scream if we ended up failing now. “There he is. That’s Skull!” I slowly turned my head, pretending to be examining my surroundings, as I looked in the direction of the front door. Three men had just walked in and were hanging their coats up near the door. They passed by us but I was unable to get a very good look as the lights were really bad. The men made their way over to the booth and sat down. Jason turned on our ear phones that were connected to a speaker that Ashton was wearing.
“Vixen correct?’
“Yes you must be Skull.”
“Yes. Now according to my contact you are good with guns.” And he was. In fact he was the best draw in our department.
“I am more than good. I would love to prove it.” I heard the man, Skull, chuckle.
“In time, in time and I’m sure it will be quite the sight.”
“I assure you it will be.”
“Yes well you are good with guns but I am also in need of a mechanic. My car’s are needing to be kept in better shape. How are you with cars?” I groaned and shared a look with Jason. This was bad Ashton knew nothing about cars. That was my area of expertise. He frowned as well.
“I’m afraid not. Cars are pretty foreign to me.”
“Very well we will consider your request to join our team. In the mean time my friend here will escort you to your home where you will stay and will not contact anyone.
“As you wish sir.” Ashton stood up and quickly left the bar with one of the men.
“Sir we need a mechanic.” their was no reply as the mic went dead. I looked at the booth to see that it was now empty.
“Let’s go.” I told Jason who nodded in agreement and led me outside.
“I’ll get the car.” I nodded and stood on the curb waiting. A Mercedes pulled up a few feet away. It was smoking from under the hood. The driver got out and cursed. A girl got out soon after. I made my way over if what I thought was wrong was wrong the car might need attention.
“Can I help?” I asked the man who was now lifting up the hood. A pillar of smoke came out.
“I doubt a girl could be any help. But you may try.” I nodded and looked under the hood. I quickly checked everything and found the problem just as I suspect. Was this man an idiot?
“How long has it been since you checked the coolant and oil?” I asked the man. The man just shook his head and whacked himself.
“Several months. I’m so stupid!” I smirked.
“Don’t worry that’s your main problem. Around the corner is a drug store that sells them.” He nodded.
“Babe I’ll be right back.” The man said running off.
“Thank you so muck. I’m Crystal that is my fiancé. We were tired of all the wedding plans so we decided to elope. And then this happened.” She said gesturing to the car. I laughed.
“Well congratulations.”
“Thank you. But how about you? I mean what are you doing here. You don not look the type to be hanging out at a bar.”
“I’m here with my boyfriend. I might not be the type but he is. He just went to get the car.” The fiancé came running back and I helped him fill the car up. “Have a safe journey.” I called as the two drove off.
“So your good with cars? DON’T TURN AROUND.” I froze mid movement.
“Yes I guess you could say so.” I responded.
“How are you with guns?” I frowned.
“I hate them. I’ve learned self defense but I hate using weapons. Hwy?” I asked now feeling scared.
“Come with me.” I was about to refuse when I felt the gun push against my back. Causing me to decided against it. He led me to a car with tinted windows and shove me in.
“WHAT IS THIS!” I froze before slowly turning to the voice. I felt the color drain from my face.

The Bust
THE BUST
Andrew POV
I was starting to get a little worried. We were less than a mile from the border and we had yet to be stopped. I jerked the wheels of the van as I saw an explosion happen in the side view mirror. “WHAT THE HELL!” I hear Amy yell holding on for dear life. I got the van to stop as did the other three vans. Everyone was jumping out armed and looking for what caused the explosion. The last van was on fire. I felt myself pale.
“GET THE STUFF OUT NOW!” I yelled Angel was in the van. The goons ran to the van flinging it open. They dragged out a bound and gagged Angel who was unconscious. I ran to her side she was fine beside a few scrapes. I noticed the men trying to pull out the burning unicorn. And then I smelt the gun powder. WERE THEY TRYING TO KILL US. “RUN!” I yelled not a 100 percent sure why I was trying to save them. They listened though and I grabbed Angel and dived off the road as their was another explosion. Followed by sirens and yells.
“FREEZE DON’T MOVE!” I sighed in relief as the field agents arrived. The secured everyone and arrested me. I notice Amy cutting off Angels bonds quickly and removing her gag. Before they got to her. They arrested the both of them. And we all went in the police cars back to the station. Police driving the “evidence” ahead of us. I laid back and rested for the first time in months.

THE END
LAST CHAPTER:
JASON AKA ANDREW POV
I sat down in front of the Srg. The bust went well Carl and his gang had been caught and Amy was behind bars and a court day was set. With all of the evidence gathered by me, Alex, and Angel…ANGEL! “Sir where’s Angel?” I asked panicking.
“She requested to stay in jail as part of a cover up. Why?”
“AMY MADE PLANS TO HAVE HER KILLED!” I yelled running out the door with the Sgt. following.
~
ANGEL POV
I felt the sheet tightening around my throat like a snake constricting my air and then I felt the chair taken away. I winced as I fell and just hung there. It was several minutes later when I heard the door open and close leaving me to my lonesome demise. I heard a bell ring singling the death or an attempted death of an inmate and within minutes my cell was flooded with police. I just hung their barely able to even concentrate my eyes refusing to open.
~
AMY POV
I looked up as my spy entered the room. “Well?”
“It had been accomplished.” I smirked.
“Good. Any sign of my brother?” The spy frowned and started trembling. “WHAT!” I demanded.
“He’s been in jail for three years.” WHAT I thought.
“Impossible! I was just with him yesterday…wasn’t I?” The spy shook his head.
“A look a like took your brothers place. He gathered enough info to get you sentenced.” I just paled this was it. How could I not know my own brother from a fake. Oh well at least Angel was dead. I heard the bells go off and saw guards running towards a prison cell. And smirked yes at least I had that.
~COURT~
NO POV
“Please summarize again what you told us Mr. McKnight.” The DA requested.
“The police put me in as Andrew and that was when I knew I had to act perfectly. I arranged to have Angel kidnapped as I knew that would be my biggest token. While with us I treated her with as little respect as possible to impress Andrew’s sister Amy. I was getting more and more busy with Amy so requested back up and they sent Alex. He helped me care for Angel. And when Amy came up with the plan to get the meth across I immediately informed the authorities and they were waiting.”
“Any further questions?” The judge asked. He nodded as no one stepped forward. “You may get down. Any other witness‘ before I make my decision?” The judge asked. The DA nodded.
“Yes we summon Angel Thorn to the stand.”
“Your honor I object Angel died in her cell after committing suicide!” Amy’s lawyer stated outraged. The judge turned to the DA.
“Mr. Santorini?”
“Sir we kept with that idea for the girls protection. She is in the anti-chamber ready to testify. This is why we postponed the court date. Because this was the hospitals release date for her.” There was a flood of murmuring at this news.
“Very well bring her in.”
~
Angel POV
I looked up as an officer came into the room. “They are ready for you.” I nodded. They had postponed the court date because of the incident that happened last week. The guard escorted me onto the stand. And I took the oath.
“Angel please tell us what happened to you in the hands of Amy.” I started my story
~Time Laps~
“And then I heard him leave the room and I then woke up at the hospital.”
“You may step down Amy.” I nodded grateful that I wouldn’t be asked questions. It had been so hard to tell that story. I sat down on a bench by Alex who held me to him and let my cry silently.
“Amy and Andrew are now sentenced to life in prison and no bail. Court dismissed.” the judge exited the room and I cried in relief. It was over. I watched as Andrew came towards me. I frowned when none of the guards made there way to stop him. He knelt down beside me.
“How are you feeling?” he asked I just stared at him in shock and turned and looked at Alex.
“Angel this is Jason. An undercover agent. Andrew has been in jail this whole time.” I just stared at Jason in shock I had been through all of this at the hands of and agent. I just shook my head and stood up.
“You never know what to expect in this field.’ I said causing the two boys to laugh as we made our way out of the courtroom.

Chapter 6 and 7
Chapter 6
I flinched as I saw Andrew enter the door. I hated him I hated him, Amy, and everyone else in this place. And yet Andrews behavior had hurt me. Not by the scars no it hurt in another way. It felt like he had betrayed me. I watched him take a few steps towards me before stopping.
“Are…I mean…DANG IT ANGEL!!’ I flinched again and drew farther away from him, which wasn’t easy. “You were doing so well. And I finally give you some leeway and look what happens.” He sat down with his back to the wall. “What do you think you were doing? Huh? Never mind you’ll just lie to me. But I am curious about something Amy’s come up with a plan to get the meth to Mexico using the Merry-go-round…” I listened to the plan realizing that it was my plan to begin with. “…do you think it will work.” I wanted to answer him and tell him everything but I knew my voice was gone and I had also bit threw my tongue so I knew there would be no point in trying. “Well?” I just laid there knowing I wouldn’t be able to avoid his anger either way. “You pathetic girl. That’s it I’ve had enough of this. You will be taken from here and killed I have no more use for you.” He said angrily and then stormed out of the room leaving me in tears.
~
I looked up as someone touched my shoulder I noticed Alex smiling down at me. Ever since my last beating I had refused to speak, mindful that my throat still killed, and had just taken everything dished to me. My only true friend here was Alex, the undercover cop, but he had to be careful not to be seen around me. I returned the smile slightly before going back to work. I was cleaning his bedroom right now so I knew it would be all right for him to watch.
“Ale I hate to see you like this you know that?” I smiled at the nick name he had given me his reasons being that the second extra it took to say my name was an extra second wasted away from our time together. “You missed a spot.” He said jokingly which I returned by throwing a pillow at him. He just started laughing and continued on talking to me and joking about. I just kept doing my chores listening to him. Neither one of us noticed that Andrew had entered the room nor that he was watching us. “Are you sure you wont speak? I mean I can tell your angry still but you know your only making it worse by not speaking. I mean it’s been a week since your beating and not a word?” I just shrugged my shoulders. I looked around for another task to do but finding nothing I started cleaning up. I was almost to the door when I was spun around and I felt Alex’s lips press to mine. I gasped in surprise, and for some reason I started to fight. After a few seconds he relented and let me go.
“Please never do that again.” I said in a hoarse whisper.
“I quite agree with Angel there Alex!” We both spun around to see Andrew leaning against the other doorway.
“Lord Andrew, forgive me I couldn’t resist.” Andrew just waved him off just starring at me, or at least attempting to, finally giving up.
“Amy needs your help.”
“Yes sir.” Alex quickly left the room. I remained still as did Andrew.
“I think I’m in love.” I jerked my head up to look at him. “I know it sounds weird but I’m starting to believe it. Don’t look at me like I’m insane.” He turned to look out the window. I just stared at him. ‘love? Could that be what this was, why I felt so hurt by him. I mean he didn’t ask me or at least let me respond to what I was doing he just assumed…’ “Tell me what are you thinking?” I came out of my train of thought and just stared at him. “Why wont you speak to me? You can’t can you?” I just shook my head.
“Oh Angel I..I didn’t know I mean…come with me!” I looked at his offered hand in shock but accepted it. He walked down the hallway and started getting on the elevator. I freaked and tried to jerk out of his grasp but he wouldn’t let me not quite understanding my struggles.
“Please.” I whispered wincing at the pain in my throat. “Haven’t I been punished enough?” His eyes widened whether at the sound of my voice or at recognition I don’t know.
“Angel you have my permission. Please come, trust me.” I didn’t know if I could but I did. After we got off he escorted me to the bedroom I had been in the week before. I noticed that nothing had been moved since my last visit and yet it was still clean. “Angel this is your new room. I had hoped to let you have it sooner but…well get some sleep. I’ll call a doctor to come look at your throat.” And with that he left.
~
I moaned as if felt myself being shaken awake. I jumped as I noticed the man sitting next me. I quickly looked around the room to see three other men in the room all holding guns and guarding all the doors. I quickly looked at the man beside me. He just looked at one of the men who nodded in response to the silent question. The man turned back to me. “Angel?” I nodded my head to his question wondering how he knew my name. “Angel I’m doctor Renewal I was…brought here to check you over. That’s when it clicked he was here as a prisoner just like me that would explain the guards. “Can I have you open you mouth and say ah?” I complied with his requests and all the others that followed. When he was done he was escorted from the room by the three guards.
I quickly got up and made my way to the door and outside. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do only that I had, for once, not been waken up to do chores. I decided to play it safe and went back inside at swat down to ponder over everything that had happened this past week. Me coming up with the plan of meth and being punished for only obeying Amy. I mean that in itself was a lose-lose situation. If I had defied her I would have been punished anyway. I quickly pushed the memory of my punishment out of my mind with no success.
FLASHBACK
I glanced around the room that Val had brought me to. I knew it was somewhere near the MGR room but I had never been in this room. I looked over at the girl by the fire she had four rods heating in the fireplace trying not to burn herself. I felt myself being shoved into the wall and my shirt being taken off. My arms were then strung up above my head.
“Angel you shall receive twenty strokes for you misconduct. Five strokes for each transgression. One-leaving your room without a guard.” Following these words I felt a sever pain grow from my back that had me full out screaming by the second stroke. Three strokes later and he paused. “Two- For entering the MGR room without direct permission.” Five more agony feel strokes followed leaving me completely hoarse and I could feel my throat starting to tare. This continued with my last two punishments three-attacking a fellow servant, probably the one who awoke me with the black eye, and fourth-for entering one of the forbidden rooms.
END FLASHBACK
I cringed as I felt a hand on my shoulder. “Angel the doctor informed me that your throat was torn by your screaming he said not to talk for another week or two to let it heal.” I just nodded my head I had no intention of speaking ever again. I heard him sigh and pull up a chair. “Angel about what I said last night. Angel what did you expect!” I cringed again as he got louder knowing this was the outbrake I’d been waiting for.
“I MEAN COME ON ANGEL THIS IS YOUR FAULT IF YOU WOULD JUST OBEY ME AND AMY YOU WOULD…” I Tuned him out at this point. I had obeyed Amy and look where it landed me. I was starting to get curious about what he meant last night. He was falling in love with me? I couldn’t believe that if he was then…well I don’t know!
“AND THEN I WOULDN’T HAVE NEEDED TO KIDNAP A DOCTOR!” He kidnapped the doctor I had just assumed the guards were there to make sure I didn’t hurt him.
“ARE YOU LISTENING!” I felt pain as I was pulled upwards by my hair. This was followed by a sting on my cheek.
“Andrew just give up on her. Obviously she doesn’t care for you the way you do her.” We both turned to look at Amy who had just entered the room. “Andrew, Carl just called he says to start the auction now.”
“Thank you Amy lets go!” They both left the room leaving me alone. I was thinking over the plan they had come up with, well I had come up with, if they didn’t arrange the meth right they would get caught. But why should I care I mean at least it’s leaving USA not arriving. And I’ll most likely die anyways, but I didn’t dare leave this room but if the auction started then they would be showing the final product and yet…they also need to…dang it why do I have to play hero! I quickly jumped out of bed and made my way to the door. They were going to kill me anyways. I opened the door and flew down the hall way not meeting any resistance.
Chapter 7: Andrew
“Amy I’m going to a meeting I should be back in at the most six hours.”
“Very well Andrew the applicants should keep me busy enough.” I nodded.
“You have my number if needed.”
“Go Andrew.” I just sighed and quickly left the house making my way to the helicopter that was waiting for me.
“Hello Max.” I said to the pilot.
“Good evening Tyler. Officer Nickels will wait for you at your hotel.” I nodded.
“very well.” I leaned back and enjoyed the ride.
~
“Yes we’ve found a way to get he meth to him.”
“Good. Don’t mess this up Tyler or should I say Andrew.”
“Of course not Sir.” I replied adding a little hurt into my voice.
“Now Tyler what of your guest.” I released a long sigh.
“It seems that everything is going smoothly. I just wish Amy didn’t insist on have Angel incapacitated. I hate what we’ve, I’ve, put her thorough.”
“You know the drill! You agreed to impersonate Andrew to get to his sister now are you saying that you don’t fell up to it. I mean as dangerous as it is we can release the news that Andrews in jail.”
“NO!…No I’ll handle it.” He studied me for a minute before nodding.
“Very well I’ll have Max take you back were a few hours early but I’m sure you wont mind. Your dismissed.” I nodded turning around I was almost out of the door when he stopped me. “You’ll be receiving a back up.”
“yes sir. Sir I’ll ship out within a week or two!” And with that I made my departure.
~
“Closed! Five million dollars to Carl.” I said to Amy and the rest of the group before picking up the ringing phone.
“Andrew speaking.” I said.
“Leave tonight!”
“Yes sir we’ll meet you at the border.” I hung up and looked around the room.
“MOVE OUT! I WANT THE MERRY GO ROUND ON THE TRUCKS NOW!” Amy yelled. And people obeyed.
I flinched as I saw Andrew enter the door. I hated him I hated him, Amy, and everyone else in this place. And yet Andrews behavior had hurt me. Not by the scars no it hurt in another way. It felt like he had betrayed me. I watched him take a few steps towards me before stopping.
“Are…I mean…DANG IT ANGEL!!’ I flinched again and drew farther away from him, which wasn’t easy. “You were doing so well. And I finally give you some leeway and look what happens.” He sat down with his back to the wall. “What do you think you were doing? Huh? Never mind you’ll just lie to me. But I am curious about something Amy’s come up with a plan to get the meth to Mexico using the Merry-go-round…” I listened to the plan realizing that it was my plan to begin with. “…do you think it will work.” I wanted to answer him and tell him everything but I knew my voice was gone and I had also bit threw my tongue so I knew there would be no point in trying. “Well?” I just laid there knowing I wouldn’t be able to avoid his anger either way. “You pathetic girl. That’s it I’ve had enough of this. You will be taken from here and killed I have no more use for you.” He said angrily and then stormed out of the room leaving me in tears.
~
I looked up as someone touched my shoulder I noticed Alex smiling down at me. Ever since my last beating I had refused to speak, mindful that my throat still killed, and had just taken everything dished to me. My only true friend here was Alex, the undercover cop, but he had to be careful not to be seen around me. I returned the smile slightly before going back to work. I was cleaning his bedroom right now so I knew it would be all right for him to watch.
“Ale I hate to see you like this you know that?” I smiled at the nick name he had given me his reasons being that the second extra it took to say my name was an extra second wasted away from our time together. “You missed a spot.” He said jokingly which I returned by throwing a pillow at him. He just started laughing and continued on talking to me and joking about. I just kept doing my chores listening to him. Neither one of us noticed that Andrew had entered the room nor that he was watching us. “Are you sure you wont speak? I mean I can tell your angry still but you know your only making it worse by not speaking. I mean it’s been a week since your beating and not a word?” I just shrugged my shoulders. I looked around for another task to do but finding nothing I started cleaning up. I was almost to the door when I was spun around and I felt Alex’s lips press to mine. I gasped in surprise, and for some reason I started to fight. After a few seconds he relented and let me go.
“Please never do that again.” I said in a hoarse whisper.
“I quite agree with Angel there Alex!” We both spun around to see Andrew leaning against the other doorway.
“Lord Andrew, forgive me I couldn’t resist.” Andrew just waved him off just starring at me, or at least attempting to, finally giving up.
“Amy needs your help.”
“Yes sir.” Alex quickly left the room. I remained still as did Andrew.
“I think I’m in love.” I jerked my head up to look at him. “I know it sounds weird but I’m starting to believe it. Don’t look at me like I’m insane.” He turned to look out the window. I just stared at him. ‘love? Could that be what this was, why I felt so hurt by him. I mean he didn’t ask me or at least let me respond to what I was doing he just assumed…’ “Tell me what are you thinking?” I came out of my train of thought and just stared at him. “Why wont you speak to me? You can’t can you?” I just shook my head.
“Oh Angel I..I didn’t know I mean…come with me!” I looked at his offered hand in shock but accepted it. He walked down the hallway and started getting on the elevator. I freaked and tried to jerk out of his grasp but he wouldn’t let me not quite understanding my struggles.
“Please.” I whispered wincing at the pain in my throat. “Haven’t I been punished enough?” His eyes widened whether at the sound of my voice or at recognition I don’t know.
“Angel you have my permission. Please come, trust me.” I didn’t know if I could but I did. After we got off he escorted me to the bedroom I had been in the week before. I noticed that nothing had been moved since my last visit and yet it was still clean. “Angel this is your new room. I had hoped to let you have it sooner but…well get some sleep. I’ll call a doctor to come look at your throat.” And with that he left.
~
I moaned as if felt myself being shaken awake. I jumped as I noticed the man sitting next me. I quickly looked around the room to see three other men in the room all holding guns and guarding all the doors. I quickly looked at the man beside me. He just looked at one of the men who nodded in response to the silent question. The man turned back to me. “Angel?” I nodded my head to his question wondering how he knew my name. “Angel I’m doctor Renewal I was…brought here to check you over. That’s when it clicked he was here as a prisoner just like me that would explain the guards. “Can I have you open you mouth and say ah?” I complied with his requests and all the others that followed. When he was done he was escorted from the room by the three guards.
I quickly got up and made my way to the door and outside. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do only that I had, for once, not been waken up to do chores. I decided to play it safe and went back inside at swat down to ponder over everything that had happened this past week. Me coming up with the plan of meth and being punished for only obeying Amy. I mean that in itself was a lose-lose situation. If I had defied her I would have been punished anyway. I quickly pushed the memory of my punishment out of my mind with no success.
FLASHBACK
I glanced around the room that Val had brought me to. I knew it was somewhere near the MGR room but I had never been in this room. I looked over at the girl by the fire she had four rods heating in the fireplace trying not to burn herself. I felt myself being shoved into the wall and my shirt being taken off. My arms were then strung up above my head.
“Angel you shall receive twenty strokes for you misconduct. Five strokes for each transgression. One-leaving your room without a guard.” Following these words I felt a sever pain grow from my back that had me full out screaming by the second stroke. Three strokes later and he paused. “Two- For entering the MGR room without direct permission.” Five more agony feel strokes followed leaving me completely hoarse and I could feel my throat starting to tare. This continued with my last two punishments three-attacking a fellow servant, probably the one who awoke me with the black eye, and fourth-for entering one of the forbidden rooms.
END FLASHBACK
I cringed as I felt a hand on my shoulder. “Angel the doctor informed me that your throat was torn by your screaming he said not to talk for another week or two to let it heal.” I just nodded my head I had no intention of speaking ever again. I heard him sigh and pull up a chair. “Angel about what I said last night. Angel what did you expect!” I cringed again as he got louder knowing this was the outbrake I’d been waiting for.
“I MEAN COME ON ANGEL THIS IS YOUR FAULT IF YOU WOULD JUST OBEY ME AND AMY YOU WOULD…” I Tuned him out at this point. I had obeyed Amy and look where it landed me. I was starting to get curious about what he meant last night. He was falling in love with me? I couldn’t believe that if he was then…well I don’t know!
“AND THEN I WOULDN’T HAVE NEEDED TO KIDNAP A DOCTOR!” He kidnapped the doctor I had just assumed the guards were there to make sure I didn’t hurt him.
“ARE YOU LISTENING!” I felt pain as I was pulled upwards by my hair. This was followed by a sting on my cheek.
“Andrew just give up on her. Obviously she doesn’t care for you the way you do her.” We both turned to look at Amy who had just entered the room. “Andrew, Carl just called he says to start the auction now.”
“Thank you Amy lets go!” They both left the room leaving me alone. I was thinking over the plan they had come up with, well I had come up with, if they didn’t arrange the meth right they would get caught. But why should I care I mean at least it’s leaving USA not arriving. And I’ll most likely die anyways, but I didn’t dare leave this room but if the auction started then they would be showing the final product and yet…they also need to…dang it why do I have to play hero! I quickly jumped out of bed and made my way to the door. They were going to kill me anyways. I opened the door and flew down the hall way not meeting any resistance.
Chapter 7: Andrew
“Amy I’m going to a meeting I should be back in at the most six hours.”
“Very well Andrew the applicants should keep me busy enough.” I nodded.
“You have my number if needed.”
“Go Andrew.” I just sighed and quickly left the house making my way to the helicopter that was waiting for me.
“Hello Max.” I said to the pilot.
“Good evening Tyler. Officer Nickels will wait for you at your hotel.” I nodded.
“very well.” I leaned back and enjoyed the ride.
~
“Yes we’ve found a way to get he meth to him.”
“Good. Don’t mess this up Tyler or should I say Andrew.”
“Of course not Sir.” I replied adding a little hurt into my voice.
“Now Tyler what of your guest.” I released a long sigh.

Chapter 4-5
Chapter 4
I wearily entered the MGR room. As much as I hated the thought I knew I would be forced to help them. One way or another. I walked up to the horse and started examining it. I found what I was looking for. In the neck there was a slight opening that must have a latch on the inside. After using my knife my theory proved true.
Inside the body of the horse was bags of sand. I quickly opened a bag and found the white sand that worked as a ballast for the horse. It was so white it could be considered meth white. I knew what to do but did I want to share my idea. I closed the bag back up and replaced the head and quickly made my way out of the room again. I had hardly made it twenty feet from the door when Andrew and Amy turned the corner and walked towards me.
Andrew stopped talking as he noticed me. He looked at the door and back to me repeating the process several times before reaching me. “What, may I ask, are you doing down here.” I didn’t know what to say so I remained silent. “Well?” I still held my tongue. “Fine go to your room and stay there for the rest of the day. You will not eat until you decide to tell me what brought you down here. Now go.” I nodded and, trying not to cry, walked down the way they had come.
“Andrew she was up to something. Brother we must act fast we are running out of time. The meth must get there and soon.” Amy said walking into the room to the left of the MGR room.
~
I couldn’t stop the tears from falling this time. I hated it here there was so much wrong with what was going on here. I had just discovered a way to get the meth to Mexico and I didn’t know what to do with the information. If I had heard quickly they were running out of time. The question really was did I want to die for this. They would kill me reguardless what I did. Only…if I helped them and got arrested then my boss might listen to me and I could get them behind bars on my testimony. It was a long shot but it was all I could think of.
I looked up as the other servant entered the room. She was sporting a black eye and I couldn’t help but wince. “Are you ok?” she just nodded. “Is something wrong?” she nodded again. “will you tell me?” she shook her head. I frowned at her and just starred as she just stood watching me. “What are you here for anyways.”
“I’ve been told to tell you that you are to go to room 375 Amy’s waiting for you.” I just looked at her. Andrew had promised me the day off.
“What of Andrew?”
“Master was called away and just left a few minutes ago. But you must hurry.” I nodded and made my way out of the room and over to the servant stair-case. I exited on the required landing. There was a large group of men standing in the hallway all leering at me. I just scowled and after knocking entered Amy’s room.
“Mistress Amy.” she looked up from her conversation and smiled at me.
“There you are come here and sit behind me while I finish this conversation.” I obeyed and sat on the bed.
“As I was saying Duke you are a master with get away driving but I need proof of it. So please go down the stairs and find Sylen and the bottom of the stairs he’ll direct you.
“Yes and thank you mam.” He left.
“Angel what took you so long to get here?”
“I came as soon as I could mam.”
“So you say. I want to know what you were doing in the MGR room today… And before you argue I have video of you entering. Now we can make this easy or hard.” I took a deep breath.
“I’ve found a way to get the meth to Mexico.” She just starred at me and I starred back.
“You have, have you? Well what is your genius plan?”
“Inside the animals on the mgr there are bags of white sand. If you replace the sand, not all of it mind, but if you replace the bags with meth you wont be questioned because when they scan they’ll register the sand-like qualities. So all you have to do is get the mgr to Mexico. My advice for that would be to pretend to hold an auction. Only make sure the highest bidder is the one wanting the meth. Have him bid for the amount of meth he wants.” She just starred at me in disbelief.
“Your sure this will work?” I just shrugged my shoulders. “I will think on this, go clean the guest room by Andrew‘s study. And the one across the hall.”
“Amy, Andrew promised me the…”
“Yes yes he promised you the day off. However I am not Andrew and Andrew is gone for a few hours so I am in charge. And since when do you call me by my name? I think you need a reminder of who you are. But first clean! The! Room!.” I glared and left the room going into the one across the hall.
~SEVERAL HOURS LATER~
I looked up from the bathroom floor to see a man standing inside the door frame. “Can I help you?”
“Yes you can my dear.” He walked in and closed the door behind him. He quickly made his way over to the camera and disconnected it. I started to panic and ran for the door. I was caught from behind and started struggling. “Calm down! Man officer Leven was right you are a fighter.” I stopped struggling and turned in the grasp to face my captor.
“You know officer Leven?”
“Yes I work in his department I’m trying to get under cover here I was surprised when I saw you walk past though. The task force has been looking everywhere for you. I just starred at him speechless; to in shock to speak. “Listen is there anything you can tell me that might help me to get into their gang?” I slowly nodded. “What?”
“Tell them that you have inside help to get any resource you need and also that you are good with bombs. Since if your on the same task force as me you should be.”
“Bombs I understand, but why the resources?”
“They are in need of them, or will be. Now will you let me go?”
“Yes, yes sorry about that” he released me. “and don’t worry I’ll send word that you’re here and we’ll begin a rescue mission.” he left me sitting on the floor crying as he reactivated the camera and walked out the door. I just sat there shivering I could feel bruises forming on my arms from his tight grip. After several minutes I finished the bathroom and left the room. As I exited I noticed the man who had talked to me enter the bedroom.
I made my way downstairs to the other requested bedroom. I had never been in these rooms as Andrews was on this floor so I wasn’t allowed in them for fear of me slipping into it. Or so I’d been told. I was shocked at the splendor of the room. In one word it was magnificent. It had a four poster bed in the corner with a large screen television. And also it appeared to have a porcelain bathroom, library, and another room I couldn’t see into very well. However the place was spotless and there was nothing wrong with it. I heard the door open behind me and I grimaced as I felt the burning gaze of Andrew.
Chapter 5
“What are you doing in here!”
“Please sir… Amy.”
“SILENCE!! I’ve never been so dissopointed in someone. I gave you the day off and this is how you repay me. You leave your room attack a fellow servant and then wander into forbidden rooms. What else have you been up to?” He grabbed me and started shaking me. “WELL? Never mind get out of my sight. VALENCE!!!!!!” the said man walked in. “You will ensure that Angel will never disobey me again. Do I make myself clear?”
“Yes sir.” Valence grabbed me and dragged me from the room.
~
Andrew stared into the fireplace as he felt his sister approach him. “Andrew what’s wrong?”
“I was only gone for six hours and yet it seems my world has flipped upside down. Carl want the shipment sent out now. And Angel is acting out and…I don’t know.”
“What do you mean Angel acted out she’s been in her room. Has she not?”
“No she hasn’t she was in the room next to mine.”
“WHAT! Why that girl I swear I don’t know why you keep her. But I have found a solution to the Meth dilemma.” She quickly told Angels plan as her own.
“That’s brilliant. That is really brilliant Amy get started on it immediately.” Knock Knock “ENTER!” Valence entered and bowed before Andrew. “I’m guessing she’s not going anywhere anytime soon.”
“Yes sir twenty lashes with the number 4 bar.”
“How often did you reheat it?”
“Every five lashes.”
“Good, good. I hate to punish her but she needed this lesson.” Amy walked over to him.
“Brother if I didn’t know any better I’d say your falling for her. And falling hard.”
“Valence your excused. Amy did the people come?”
“Yes and I believe I’ve found a few suitable. The main one that I really like is Alex Rendier. He has allies throughout different industries. And being time he set up a bomb in two minutes. That’s is the quickest I’ve ever seen, he could be valuable ally.” Andrew nodded.
“Do you think I was being to harsh?”
“Harsh on who? On Angel? Please she out right disobeyed you she deserved it.”
“Your right. However now I must go talk to her.” He said making his way to his door.
“Andrew. Wait.” He turned around
“Yes”
“You should consider giving her a better bedroom Andrew?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean that regardless of today she has been so obedient. Maybe today reminded her of why she needed to fight. Maybe you should loosen her restrictions a little. You know give her two meals a day instead of one, give her a bigger bedroom, more days off, or something Andrew.”
“I will consider.”
I wearily entered the MGR room. As much as I hated the thought I knew I would be forced to help them. One way or another. I walked up to the horse and started examining it. I found what I was looking for. In the neck there was a slight opening that must have a latch on the inside. After using my knife my theory proved true.

Chapter 3
Chapter 3:
I stopped my fist in mid-air as I heard the argument coming from inside the room. “And how come you wish to put your trust in this girl. I know you said it was because she’s a cop but I just don’t think that is the whole reason.”
“And your right. You realize if we get caught and she helps us she’ll end up in jail and we’ll get out easily enough.”
“You are braver than me. I don’t know why you trust the man to keep bailing you out. But I will not complain as long as it works. I mean he’s a good ally even for a cop, and plus he‘s friends with her and knows her weaknesses and strengths and he did helps us capture her.” I felt a dead weight fall into the pit of my stomach, ‘NO!!’ I screamed at myself ‘NO NO NO No no… He wouldn’t. . .would he?’
“You have a point. Now where is that stupid slave I ordered to come directly here!” I quickly collect my features and knock on the door. “ENTER!” I obeyed keeping my head down trying not to let my tears fall from my eyes. He never did appreciate my emotions nor anything that had to do with spying. And to think I had been doing both. I had to suppress a shudder.
“What took you so long!!!” I glance at Amy as she spoke only to have Andrew grab my head and force me to make eye contact. We stood that way for several seconds before he spoke.
“How long?” I just stared at him confused. “How long were you listening.” I jerked my head out of his hand and tried to back away while looking away. He grabbed my by the hair bringing me back to my original position; and then forced me to make eye-contact. “HOW MUCH DID YOU HEAR!”
“Not much sir.” I replied letting the tears fall from the pain of his grasp.
“How much.”
“Just where you were talking about your… your…” He shook me
“WELL?”
“Just what you planned on doing if you get caught and about your…spy in the task force.” He released his grip on me and I crumpled into tears.
“Very well.” He moved back around the desk. I just stayed there.
“As I was saying before you realize if we get caught and she helps us she’ll end up in jail and we’ll get out easily enough. So why not use that.”
“But what if she speaks out?”
“She wont have a choice she’ll be dead by the next morning.”
“I see. Very well we’ll use her. Come here Angel.” I quickly complied and made my way over to him. “I wasn’t able to do much with you earlier as you were so disobedient. However tomorrow you will have the day off and you will be free, well mostly free to do what you wish. Your normal restrictions will still apply.”
“Sir?”
“ANDREW!!” He glared at Amy
“AMY I’m NOT Cruel!”
“I know that Andrew, however you should not be so nice after how she behaved.”
“Her punishment was mostly your fault! Hence why it was so light.” Amy leaned back in her and scowled at him.
“Angel as you couldn’t really have a birthday today you will have one tomorrow.”
“Sir?” I just starred at him. He smiled, a true smile.
“As I said I’m not mean you are dismissed for the night.” I curtsied and left the room.
I stopped my fist in mid-air as I heard the argument coming from inside the room. “And how come you wish to put your trust in this girl. I know you said it was because she’s a cop but I just don’t think that is the whole reason.”
“And your right. You realize if we get caught and she helps us she’ll end up in jail and we’ll get out easily enough.”
“You are braver than me. I don’t know why you trust the man to keep bailing you out. But I will not complain as long as it works. I mean he’s a good ally even for a cop, and plus he‘s friends with her and knows her weaknesses and strengths and he did helps us capture her.” I felt a dead weight fall into the pit of my stomach, ‘NO!!’ I screamed at myself ‘NO NO NO No no… He wouldn’t. . .would he?’
“You have a point. Now where is that stupid slave I ordered to come directly here!” I quickly collect my features and knock on the door. “ENTER!” I obeyed keeping my head down trying not to let my tears fall from my eyes. He never did appreciate my emotions nor anything that had to do with spying. And to think I had been doing both. I had to suppress a shudder.
“What took you so long!!!” I glance at Amy as she spoke only to have Andrew grab my head and force me to make eye contact. We stood that way for several seconds before he spoke.
“How long?” I just stared at him confused. “How long were you listening.” I jerked my head out of his hand and tried to back away while looking away. He grabbed my by the hair bringing me back to my original position; and then forced me to make eye-contact. “HOW MUCH DID YOU HEAR!”
“Not much sir.” I replied letting the tears fall from the pain of his grasp.
“How much.”
“Just where you were talking about your… your…” He shook me
“WELL?”
“Just what you planned on doing if you get caught and about your…spy in the task force.” He released his grip on me and I crumpled into tears.
“Very well.” He moved back around the desk. I just stayed there.
