CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

HALA'S P.O.V

After the incident, Chris and I both headed back to the apartment. We were soaking wet and the both of us had no weapons on us, so we wouldn't be able to defend ourselves and to top it all off, the whole thing was a set up. I had no clue where I was going, it was a waste of time going down that trail.

I hopped into the shower to rinse off quickly and once I finished I changed into fresh new clothes, throwing my hair up into a messy bun. I stepped out of the room, only to come face to face with Chris whose expression was filled with confusion.

"Why are you so calm? Sean is out there, who knows where and you're not, well freaking out."

"Because Katrina doesn't want to hurt him, she wants him. What she wants, is to hurt me." I said in a 'duh' tone. Chris stared at me with a raised eyebrow as I walked over to the kitchen. I grabbed a water bottle from fridge.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer."

He laughed. "Why are you dressed like that?" I looked down at what I was wearing, sweats, tank top and running shoes. I raised an eyebrow, it was pretty obvious in my opinion.

"Are you serious?" I walked past him and opened the door to the basement.

"Does that answer your question?" I grinned and then stepped down into the gym. He followed me down while I slipped on the punching bag gloves.

"I do recall Sean telling me that we're suppose to train you."

I stared at him blankly. "Okay, how do you plan on doing that?"

He shrugged. "I don't know, get you motivated," He walked over to me and patted my arm. "And get you more muscle."

"So that's what we're gonna do? Fight our way through?"

"Do you have a better plan?"

I thought about it. "I think I may have a plan actually."

Chris threw his arms up. "Great, enlighten me!"

"Katrina wants Sean, simple as that. She wants me out of the picture then I'll step out of the picture."

"Where are you going with this?" He asked, confusion on his face.

I smirked. "A fake break up."

"Seriously." He said with a blunt tone.

"Seriously! What do you think she would do once she finds out Sean and I broke up?" Chris stayed silent.

"Exactly." I simply said, feeling proud.

"Okay so you fake break up with him, how is this suppose to work? You're gonna stay broken up? How are you going to be in a relationship with Sean without her finding out?"

"We wait till her crazy side calms down, then we make a move."

He grinned widely. "Looks like we got ourselves a plan."

SEAN'S P.O.V

I still sat in the dark room, hungry and tired. I was beyond angry, I had no clue what was going on and what happened while I was stuck down here. I tilted my head back. Alright, that's it. I've finally reached the point where I can't stand this anymore. I have to get out and if I don't, I might just kill someone.

"HEY!" I screamed loudly, luckily getting the attention to whoever was upstairs. The same girl that was here earlier, came down with an annoyed look.

"What do you-" I cut her off.

"Did I ever tell you, you look damn fine." I said with a smirk.

She looked at me in surprise. "Excuse me?"

"I've wanted to kiss those lips ever since I layed eyes on you."

She smirked and stepped towards me, leaning down to my face. "Is that so?"

I leaned closer and whispered. "Yes." She leaned in about to place her lips on my own, but before she could even touch me, I swung my head forward and head butted her. She fell to the ground unconscious and to my luck her keys fell out of her jacket.

Okay, now for the hard part. I wiggled my chair around until it tipped over, making me land on the ground with a thud. My hands got to the keys on the floor, I fiddled with it and realized there was a pocket knife attached to it.

I opened it and and began to cut my way through the rope. I continued cutting faster and faster when finally my wrist were broken free. I reached down and cut my tied up ankles, jumping back to my feet when I was free. I ran up the stairs as fast as I could and once I made it to the top, I didn't know where to go. I looked around my surroundings and realized I was in some warehouse, you have got to be kidding me.

I began running, rushing down the halls, turning every corner when suddenly I ran right into someones chest. I stumbled back to see a guy about my age, a frown plastered on his face.

"Where do you think you're going?!"

"Out." I growled, before swinging a punch at him. He was knocked off guard but quickly gained it back, grabbing me by the collar and throwing me against the wall. With that, he pulled out a gun and aimed it right at me.

"Do you really want to do that? What will Katrina do if she finds out that you shot me?" I said with my hands above my head. He didn't answer nor did he move.

"I mean for all I know, she could rip your throat out. So go ahead, shoot me. I'd love to watch her destroy you." I smirked as I saw his expression change from a serious look to a scared one, he quickly lowered the gun.

"Exactly, now if you'll excu-" The guy shot the bullet, nearly hitting my head. The next thing I knew, he was running at me with a murderous look on his face. I quickly moved out the way, kicking him into the wall, he threw a punch at me but I ducked. I kicked him in the shin and knocked the gun out of his hand, grabbing him by the collar and throwing yet again another punch. He grabbed me by the throat but I did the same to him, the both of us now trying to choke each other.

I could already feel myself beginning to lose oxygen but before I could lose anymore, I kneed him right 'there'. He released me and dropped down in pain, and with that I swung a punch and knocked him out.

"Shit." I breathed out, rubbing the sore area on my side. Yup, there was probably a bruise already beginning to form. I picked up the gun off the floor and shoved it into my pocket. I looked around when I suddenly felt a breeze, sending shivers through me. I turned the corner and found the opening. The exit.

I jogged out and now saw that I was in an alleyway. I moved down the alleyways towards to where I saw an opening to a street. When I finally made it out, I looked around. Busy streets, taxi's speeding by, sidewalks crowded with people. I know where I am.

I'm in Times Square.

HALA'S P.O.V

I swung yet another punch at the targets that Chris held up in front of me, sweat beading down my forehead as I breathed out heavily.

"How many times do I need to do this?" I sighed, wiping my forehead and taking a drink of my water.

"Until you're able to make that punching bag move."

I groaned, positioning myself once again. I was about to start when suddenly a loud crash came from upstairs. Both Chris and I froze before rushing up the stairs.

We ran into the room to only be faced with 2 guys and 2 girls, all pointing guns at us. Chris and I swung our arms up in the air for surrender.

"Where is he?" One guy asked.

I furrowed my eyebrows. "Where is who?"

"Don't play games with me, where the hell is Sean?!" He said.

Chris shook his head. "We don't know." One of the girls stepped towards him.

"Don't lie." She shoved the gun just under his jaw. "I'm going to ask you again, where is he?"

"So you're not gonna play this game fairly?" Chris suddenly asked.

"What?" She asked.

"Fine, I won't either." He pulled out a syringe and stabbed it into her side. I quickly pulled out the tranquilizers from my pockets and shot the 2 guys in the shoulder. The other girl glared at me and shot at me, nearly hitting me. She ran at me but I grabbed her arm and tilted it behind her back, knocking the gun out of her hand.

"Hala!" Chris yelled, tossing me another syringe. I stuck it right into her side and she fell to the ground, unconscious. I breathed out heavily.

"Wow, you're getting better and better." Chris said. I smiled proudly. Chris suddenly frowned.

"What were they talking about?"

I furrowed my eyebrows and thought about it. That could mean only mean one thing. "Oh my god." I mumbled.

Chris raised an eyebrow at me. "What?!"

I looked at him and smiled slightly. "He escaped."
