What The Hell?!

     Earlier that day, Leo had attended his appointment. He was supposed to meet a business partner that afternoon then meet a representative from another mafia gang later that night. But he had been caught off guard. He didn't know that it was a trap set for him by the Santinos. They had obviously had help from an insider for them to have had him fooled so well. 

What happened was Leo had showed up on time for his appointment with the representative from the other mafia gang on time. But when he got there the other had not yet arrived so he waited. He didn't know that outside the Santinos were already putting their men in position. He waited for 30 minutes and by then he had already started getting really impatient. He called out to the man who he thought was a "muscle" from the other mafia gang and asked in a cold and domineering voice that would give anyone chills, "When is your boss getting here?" Soon the man had replied him stating that his boss had encountered some problems on his way. Leo thought this was not uncommon and decide to wait a little bit longer. But as he was waiting he realized that the place was getting more and more quiet. He looked at the men around him and something just felt off. 

He tried to secretly call his men who he had ordered to stay outside so it wouldn't seem he was coming for a fight rather than a diplomatic meeting. But then his worst fear was confirmed his men were not responding. Which meant he was right. This was a trap. When he tried calling his men two, three more times and no one responded he realized that he had indeed fallen into a trap. So as not to arouse any suspicion from the men around him and buy himself sometime to think of a way to escape, he pretended not to have noticed anything. He sat back down calmly and looked around the room. There was a door and a window. He knew he couldn't just suddenly break through the window for surely there would be men stationed outside waiting for him. So his only option was the door. He looked at the men in the room. There were 4 in number. At that moment someone walked into the room and whispered something into the ears of the man he suspected to be the leader. They all immediately stood up and surrounded him. He knew it was now or never.

With one motion he kicked the first man that advanced towards him and punched the other leaving them momentarily dazed. He then brought out his knife and started tackling the other men. He soon handled them then he advanced towards the more burly man who was the leader. Leo was good but this guy was huge and seemed to have a lot of stamina so when Leo's guard was lowered the man had stabbed him. Feeling the pain searing through him, Leo knew he couldn't hold out for much longer and needed to find a way to escape. He evaded all the guy's attacks and immediately dashed for the door once he saw an opening. He ran out and carefully sneaked out onto the alleyway and started running. He ran for a while trying to loose the men who were noe running after him. As he was running he heard music. There must be a club around he thought. He ran towards the music. And there at the back entrance of the club he saw a familiar figure. And despite all the dim lighting he could recognize those sea blue eyes anywhere. It was the woman from the park and she seemed to have recognized him too as she immediately asked "You?". She had also noticed his bleeding. Just then he heard the foot steps of the pursuers behind him. Seeing no other to escape he immediately grabbed the beauty in front of her and kissed her.

She seemed really shocked as it was written in her eyes. Perhaps too shocked to even try and push him away and that was good for him as his pursuers ran right past them probably mistaken them for some horny teenage couple. It was only after his pursuers had run past them he realized what he was doing. He didn't have time to savor the kiss because as if just coming back to her senses she suddenly pushed him away and slapped him.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?!", Cassie asked immediately she came back to her senses. He seemed really pale and shocked and then almost immediately he passed out. "What the hell!!", she exclaimed as the man passed out. It was only then she realized how much blood he had lost. Seeing he was in danger a part of her wanted to help and the other part didn't want to get involved and just wanted to walk away. But she couldn't. There was just something about this man that drew her to him. "Ah I can't believe I'm doing this", she sighed as she half carried, half dragged the man to her car which she had parked, thankfully, near the alleyway. Feeling bad about abruptly leaving she texted Sarah saying she had to leave early. And almost immediately she replied saying it was fine and that she had actually met a new friend and that he would drop her off.

Seeing Sarah's reply Cassie felt at ease and started her car. At first she wanted to take him to the hospital but when ahe remembered the situation he was in earlier, she decided against it. But where else could she take him. The man didn't have his cell phone on him and she couldn't find an ID Card either. Realizing that although she didn't like it there was only one place she could take this mysterious stranger and that was her hotel. So she drove to her hotel. Before that she tried her best to stop the bleeding and she was able to do it. Arriving at the hotel she got the bell boy to help her get him up to her room after completely hiding his wound, under the guise that he was with her and that he was seriously drunk.

As soon as she got to her room, the bell boy assisted in laying him on the bed and after she tipped him he left. She then got down to taking a look at his wound and also that although he had lost a lot of blood it was not that deep which was a good thing. She sloppily patched him up, gave him some pain relief and stayed by his side all through the night.

It was morning. Leo opened his eyes and didn't recognize the place. Where the hell was he?
