Chapter 2

“WHAT?” Marco yelled startled and ready to shoot.

“This you idiot!!” Ben pointed at the girl on the floor with her shirt pulled up. Right under her ribcage there was a large bruise,where dark black and blue colors were forming.

“What the hell were you thinking?”

“Hey it wasn't our fault, she wouldn't stay still so we had to get a little rough.” Marco said like it was no big deal.

“A ‘LITTLE’ rough? You dummies almost killed it, what the hell is wrong with you? At this point putting you in a little black dress with some lingerie would be a better choice to offer than this.” Ben started rubbing his temples.

“It’s not THAT bad, come on you can work your magic on it she’ll be as good as new.”

“Magic?? I over looked her riped lip and the small cut on her forehead because I taught I would cover it up by makeup. What do you expect me to do? Roll her in concealer and foundation? Why did you have to damage it this bad? She can’t even reach to your shoulders. And it’s not like you were alone you had your guys with you.”

“Don't you think we considered getting her in one piece? As soon as we put our hands on her she started fighting like a wild cat, hell she even bit me. See??” Marco said while he held his arm in front of Ben showing him the bite marks.

“Don't you have a gun? Couldn't you scare her instead?”

“I DID pull a gun on her, not only it didn't stop struggling she yelled shoot me bastard.”

“Are you freaking kidding me? So not only it doesn't look the way it’s supposed to it’s gonna fight him too? How on earth do you think that’s suitable as a gift? What are we going to do? He’s gonna be here in a few hours.” Ben said. His voice was getting higher and higher with each passing moment.

He started pacing up and down the warehouse, avoiding all the abandoned furniture in his way.

“Can’t you find another one before he comes? I can fix it up in a few minutes, that is if you don't beat the new one to a pulp too.”

“Very funny.” Marco said in a sarcastic voice. “It’ll be too late. It’s already 1am no girl in their right mind would be out alone at this hour, and even the crazy ones won’t take a dark alley at this time.” He said while sitting back in the couch and covered his face with his hands.

Almost fifteen minutes passed and none of them said anything. There was a visible path on the floor from Ben’s footsteps. Marco kept moving his legs while he was in deep thoughts. Suddenly he stopped. He pushed himself of to his feet.

The sudden movement brought Ben to a stop. He turned and looked curiously at Marco.

“What? What is it?” Ben said impatiently.

“ I have an idea.”

“Is it a good idea? Or it’s another follow up on your previous ones? Cuz let me tell you something . . .”

Marco cut him off with his intense glare.

“Just do us both a favor and shut your mouth. Start getting her ready.”

“I will when you give me an answer.” Ben said stubbornly

“ If you really want to know, then let me tell you it’s the craziest idea I had in my whole life, and I’ve had so many. But it’s so crazy I think it will work.”

“Well that’s reassuring.”

“Stop nagging and get to work. And when he’s here don’t say ANYTHING. I’ll handle this.” Marco said with a twisted smile.

“I sure hope you know what you’re doing. My life is on the line too.”

Ben went back towards the girl. Her bruise was getting worst. For half of a second he looked at her with pity but he shook it off and opened his bag.
