"I'm going to f*****g blow your brains out if you don't f*****g answer me, Emma!" A deep voice growled loud enough to wake Scarlett from her slumber. The walls were thick but his voice was louder. He had Maverick pressed against the wall by a strong grip on her throat. The tips of her toes desperately tried to find their footing as he held her up. Her manicured nails scratched at his hand as it cut off the circulation of her air. He was one of the few people to actually terrify Maverick and when he revealed her real name out in the open she knew she was done for. "I- I" Maverick tried to speak but his grip was too tight and his eyes were blank of any emotion as they stared coldly at her. Almost as cold as the metal pressed to her forehead. "I gave you a simple order to take her from the holding hall to my room and to watch her for the week I was gone, but you took it upon yourself to treat her like an animal!" He seethed. He'd been gone on business in Italy and he trusted Maverick to watch over Scarlett for the week he couldn't be here. After he returned he slipped into his room and saw his 2 million dollars asleep on his bed, bruised and beaten. He watched back the security tapes and saw the whole week and what happened to his possession. He grew angrier every time a finger was laid on her and now he was livid. He decided to lessen the grip he had on Maverick to hear her pleas, "I- I was t-training her for you. That b-b***h is ready to be at y-your beck and c-all," she said and even though he was crushing her throat she still managed to give a sick and twisted smirk. He growled and lifted her higher so her toes were off the ground and she was nearing the end of her life. He clicked back the gun and just as he was about to pull the trigger a voice spoke. "Bones," The causal sounding voice made him look over and he saw Goose leaning against his door to his room. "Get the f**k out of here Goose, this doesn't concern you," Bones seethed as he watched the woman struggle to stay alive. "That's my partner, so it does concern me," Goose heroically stepped in and Bones didn't hesitate to whip the gun back and aim it at Goose. Goose grinned and pushed the gun away, "Don't kill her, that's too easy, let me take her and I'll make her wish she was dead," Goose convinced Bones. Bones knew what Goose was doing, but Bones couldn't kill Maverick. She was good for the team and even though she messed with what was his he was willing to let it go for the sake of the business. Besides he knew she only did this because she was jealous of the woman in the room next to them. He could see it on her face every time they mentioned Red she got pissy. He knew Goose wasn't going to do anything to Maverick punishment wise so Bones added it to his long to-do list. He wasn't going to drop something like this so easily. "Get the f**k out of my sight before I kill you both," He snapped as he shot at them and purposefully missed just to give them a fright as they scrambled to get into Goose's room. He ran a hand over his face and sighed. He was mad at himself for not being here when they brought her in. Now she's probably more traumatized then she would have been if he were here. He contemplated going into the room but decided against it because he didn't want to scare her anymore. There was no doubt in his mind that she had heard him. He imagined her pressed against the door hearing every drop coming out of his mouth. He knew she was a curious person, after all, he knew her more than she knew herself and that was only because he had to. She was all a business deal to him and no one wants damaged goods. He knew other businesses would be looking for her soon and it won't take them long till they find out he had her. He needed to get her and him out of here and to a safe house. Scarlett pushed herself off of the wall when no other sounds could be heard. Whoever that male voice was it was terrifying. It sent chills down her spine and she hoped to never cross paths with the voice again. She wondered who the voice belonged to and she imagined a large scruffy man with muscles the size of her head and a face that was scarred from multiple fights he'd been in. The thought scared her more and she quickly got into the bathroom to get ready for the day. Knowing if she didn't Mavericks would have her head. When Scarlett walked out of the closet in a cream sweater and blue skinny jeans she was met with a blonde woman in her room. The woman was beautiful but obviously at the hand of a plastic surgeon. Her breasts were threatening to fall out due to their unnatural state. And her lips were plumped till they couldn't anymore. Scarlett wondered what she looked like before she went under the knife. Was she beautiful then? "I've packed your things, you will be leaving in 2 hours," She said and Scarlett's eyes widened. Was she being set free? She smiled and immediately imagined running home and jumping into Shawn's arms and kissing him to show him how much he missed her. The woman's obnoxious laugh pulled Scarlett's attention to her. "Oh girl no, you're being moved to a new location." She explained and Scarlett's shoulders dropped. She should have known it was too good to be true. "Why can't I just go home!" Scarlett groaned and plopped down on the sofa and the woman scowled. "Because he wants you," She said in a bitter tone and Scarlett looked over at her with furrowed brows. "I don't know why he'd want you. I mean look at you," She grimaced and Scarlett felt tears fill her eyes at the woman's rude comments. "You don't have to be so mean," Scarlett said in a small voice as she picked at her fingers and the woman laughed. "Oh, honey you've got a world of hurt coming if you think I'm mean, people in this business will tear you limb from limb till you are nothing. Consider me going easy on you," She explained as she zipped up the suitcase that sat on the bed. She smirked at Scarlett but her eyes focused on something behind her she looked terrified. Scarlett furrowed her brows and turned her head till it was looking at the door. Her mouth dropped at the sight of the man that had bought her for 2 million dollars.
