Later that night I went downstairs to get a snack Erwin and Haven were in the kitchen they placed a few cups on the dinning the cups were filled I could smell vodka."What are you guys doing ?" I asked."Getting wasted." they both replied filling the last cup. "There is something called a bar or a pub you know? " I teased. "We know we can't drink outside we could risk our chances of getting our identity exposed it's safe to just get drunk here." they explained."But Maria said you guys used to visit her club a lot before you guys knew each other, there is no way you didn't have a drink or two." I said."We did but we only went there for missions not fun it would be dangerous if we made a mistake and decided to drink and get drunk." Haven explained and I nodded I shared an understanding."Wanna join or lemme guess you don't drink ?" Erwin mocked."I wanna join." I voiced hoping to shock Erwin but unfortunately he didn't give a damn he just only shrugged."So how are you guys drinking ?

•••QUINN•••I sat down looking over at Darren who was going through his tablet, Erwin sat at the other end slouching his entire body on the couch cushion I had to sit down on the floor because of him.Erwin was on his phone scrolling through it while I sat down and wished I wasn't some run away ransom all because of some mafia family.Erwin put his phone away I assume since he pushed his legs down, I felt someone play with my hair, I turned to Erwin and wore a growl. "Cut it out..." I yelled, he chuckled to himself. He didn't let go knowing very well it irritated me, he folded my hair in his grasp putting up above my neck. "Let go of my hair will you? " I yelled which he did and again chuckles to himself. "I like playing with your hair." I cringe at his reply slowly scooting away from his direction."You know you'll look pretty if you had it dyed." Erwin said with a hand up his jaw, he wasn't smiling, his expression alone gave me chills."What's wrong with the color of my hair? " I as

"What are you doing up this late ? " I quickly turned to see Seth, his hair was the hot kind of messy, he dug his hands down his pockets."Can't sleep.." I stated. His brows furrowed, a glimpse of concern shimmer in his eyes."You still have Insomnia? " he asks."No I just don't feel like sleeping it's different I'll get tired soon." I replied he looked away, I did the same and slouched back on the couch.The atmosphere was awkward, I could feel a burning stare on the back of my head I'm sure they belong to him. It's being a week now after the night stone scenario.I guessed it was him that got it for me, it couldn't be Erwin I asked if he did the only reply he gave me was Seth woke him up just to get me the stones.I never really thanked him and he wasn't bothered he still acted the same, cold, aggressive, rude and intimidating but I know I changed somehow or I changed my mindset of him.I heard a lighter spark, I looked over to see Seth with a cigar plugged in between his lips, the

...QUINN...'You don't have to do this.' Darren's voice sang loud and clear in my head, I shake my head trying to think about something else other than our conversation.I sat down at the passenger seat with my mask up and capped too. Haven was on the wheels, he kept checking up on me with the rearview mirror."Should we make a stop? " he asks I shake my head thinking why the hell did I accept this mission in the first place. Oh yeah I remember, Seth was being a dick and I let my anger get the best of me.'What the fuck is wrong with you?' my thoughts chorused in my head, I shrink back into my seat taking deep breaths, Haven made a stop at a gas station."Let's get something for the road before we get to Maria's." he insisted I just nodded stuck to my seat with no intention of getting down, a young man who was on his own with his headphones passed my window, I pushed my cap down the more having my head bent down, I sneaked a peak of him he was wearing a blue flannel shirt and jeans, a

My body slouched back and forth while Haven drove until we got to Maria's. The mission was actually in New York but we had to stop at Denver so Maria could give me a make over so I won't be recognizable at the mean time.Haven sat down at the living room while Maria blabbed about how she could tweak up my looks, I was scared she spoke to me like I'm some project."Maybe we should get your eye brows shaved or better yet waxed." I quickly got up."You know what I change my mind I don't want to do this anymore." I face palmed myself, she stared at me giving me the chills."But the guys...""I don't care what the guys think, it's just a mission not a beauty pageant I'm not getting my brows waxed for something I could probably die of. I'm not even sure if I made the right choice putting everything at risk and volunteering." I tried holding back my tears the pressure was already eating me up, I have to pull a fake character and not mess up like the last one at the underground club."Okay le

•••QUINN•••After the makeover Maria gave me some tips on how to maintain my hair and also gave me some clothes she went out on her way to buy.It was time to go to New York so we were saying our final goodbye."Be careful okay, I know you will do well at the mission." she hugged me and then pulled away to face Haven."Tell the gang I said hey." she said to Haven."I will, take care of yourself okay.." Haven pushed a strand of her hair back, she startled a bit but suddenly kept it cool and just giggled uncontrollably, she looses her stare off Haven and landed them on me. "And Quinn I got something for you." she quickly went back in and brought back a silver plastic bag she handed it over to me."Thank you." that was my only reply I took out a tiny black box from the bag. "You didn't have to get me jewelry Maria I already have my necklace." I said showing it to her."It's no jewelry." she instantly replied, I dropped the paper bag and opened the box to see a pair of contacts. "Contacts

"What happened?? ""I shot a man, that was the first time I picked a gun and killed somebody I didn't want to and still don't know how, the last thing I remember was running away from the scene until I met Colette, I was hiding behind a dumpster and she happened to come by me and fed me I was so traumatized from the event it took her a while to get me to talk and somehow I fell for her, I wish I didn't maybe I could still see her smile." he said and I stopped on my tracks."What happened to her? ""She died getting during an abortion, she got pregnant during a night stand with her boss the bastard suggested she aborted the child or he'll fire her because of that I lost her... " he said the last part furiously clenching his fist tightly."I'm sorry about what happened to her." I said, he turned to look at me. "You kind of remind me of her." after that all I could hear was the beating of my heart and Havens icy stare on me, a smile worked up his lips. "We are almost there." he said resu

•••QUINN•••I pushed a strand of my hair back and wore a small smile directed at Darren, Erwin who was chewing down on bacon dropped it and even almost choked on it. Seth on the other hand stared at me for a couple of seconds, I pretended I didn't notice him and Erwin and stared at Darren's direction who was the only one displaying his honest reaction."Your eyes..." Erwin slipped out a chuckle in a deep husky tone, he didn't smile after that he just stared at me caging his palm on his face."They are contacts, how do I look ? " Darren sneers a bit at me."You look like Dory from that finding dory crap." Erwin says wearing an irritating snarl that annoyed the shit out of me, he had his head bent after that. "You look amazing Quinn, Maria did a great job." Darren comment my cheeks burn red a bit.Erwin gets up and says. "I'm going out to smoke." he shuts the door behind him before anyone could reply him leaving me with Seth and the rest."What do you think Seth? " Darren questions whil
