Chapter 62 - Schemes and Distractions

"You better have a good fucking reason for being here! Get inside." He pulls me in by my wrist and locks the door after him. "What the hell are you doing here? I thought I said to call before you come, what if you were followed?!"

"I wasn't followed. Calm down... I came here on my own accord."

He cocks his head and lowers his brows. He was trying to read me. He was usually really good at figuring me out but he was struggling. Understandable, I can barely keep a single thought together right now.

"And may I ask why?"

I grin and take a step closer, making sure to keep heavy eye contact.

"Oh come on, do I really need to spell it out for you?" I move closer even though in my head I was screaming at myself to stop but my body moved on it's own. "I'm here for some fun."

"Oh? And why the sudden change of heart? My charming looks finally get the best of you?"

I put my hands on his chest and glance up at him through my lashes. "Sure, let's go with that one."

I go to kiss him but he holds his finger up to my lips. "Lina, you are aware of what you're doing, right?"

"I'm not drunk if that's what you're getting at." I roll my eyes.

"Not what I'm saying chica. Do you want me, or do you want a distraction?"

"You're thinking too much, Pedro. Just focus on me." I slip my hand underneath his shirt and slowly pull it from over his head. "Come on, don't you want me?"

"Jesus Lina, what's gotten into you?" His tone was dismissive but the way he was tightly gripping my waist let me know that he was wanted it too.

"Make me feel something... Make me hurt." I bury my hands deep into his thick hair and trail kisses down his neck. "I'll take anything you give me."

"Catalina, do you have any idea what you're about to do?" His voice was lower. I could feel his heart beat beneath the palm of my hand, it was beating wildly. He was nervous.

"Yeah. You."

"Catalina-"

I stand in the top of my toes and press my lips to his. He took a moment but he gradually began to move his lips against mine. I wrap my arms around his neck as his hands move towards my lower back. I moan as he forcefully pushes me against the wall. He takes the opportunity to deepen our kiss by forcing his tongue in my mouth.

"Fuck, Catalina… Are you sure you want to do this?"

I answer his question my unbuckling his pants and slipping my hand into his boxers.

"That a good enough answer?"

[The Abandoned Plant: White's House]

"Logically that makes sense to me. They're opposites, and what do we know about opposites; They attract."

"Not everything is logical bullshit okay? They way they are should make them natural enemies, it should make them despise one another."

"But they're married... And in love... With two kids... So my theory stands, opposites do indeed attract. It's science!"

"No. They're human like the rest of us. I'm sure that with a little meddling I can make them hate each other. I mean I've done it before, except this time I have no liabilities holding me back."

"Human? Barely... She's more an obedient robot. Taking orders and following through with them no matter who's affected. She likes to make a quick and easy, no mess. But him, he's a monster. Likes to take his time with his victims, tortures them until they beg for death. Just a very unpleasant man to say the least."

The woman leans back into the chair and puts her arms behind her head. "I don't understand why you obsess over these two so much. It's really not good for your health."

"Shut up! This is serious! I'm not obsessed, I just need her to wake the hell up and come back. She's fucking crazy for taking things this far but I trust she'll come around."

"Will she though? Look One, I know that you two were best friends back at the plant but those time are over. Everyone who found out left and did exactly what Negative did; They moved on, started over and made a honest life for themselves."

"They fucking abandoned their jobs. They betrayed the name of the Woman in White and left us to fend for ourselves. But if we get Negative back, then I know for sure that we can come back stronger than before."

One angrily pulls open the large desk drawer and riffles through several files before settling on the one she was looking for.

"Catalina Sanchez. She's our ticket in. Report shows that she and Negative are really close but Catalina has ties to an unknown third party. This is how we to it, T. This is how we get her back."

The girl sighs and slumps down further into her seat. "You won't drop this no matter what I say, will you?"

"Not likely."

"And you are aware that this is absolute madness?"

"I am."

"And you're more than likely to wind up dead?"

"Yes, T. I know."

"And you'll probably die in the crossfire because those two are basically royalty?"

"Once again, I am aware."

"And that they have thousands of people who are willing to throw their life's away to keep them in power?"

"Two! I know what I'm risking! This is all I know... It's all I've got left and if you want to leave then go. Go be like everyone else."

The girl with the dark, short cut hair sighs and fidgets with the necklace hanging around her neck.

"I'm not leaving you, One. I just wish that you'd stop all this nonsense."

"It's not nonsense. It's my last hope."

"But it's not! There's still time to walk away from all this! Stop dwelling about the past and wake up. I care about you and your well-being but it's hard for me when you start talking like this."

One stands silently with her back turned as the brunette's words slowly begin to reach her.

"I won't stop you from this suicide mission, One. Just know that as long as you continue to do shit like this, the odds will never be in your favor."

"You think I care about that?! Arañas Rojas and the black mafia both want Hernandez back in power but that can't happen if Negative is there pretending that she's normal! All I have to do is wake him up, make him see that she's a filthy liar and that her rightful place is here."

"Okay One... It's obvious that I'm talking to a wall here so I'm leaving. You're being irrational and childish right now and I want no part of it." Two shoves her hands into her pocket and walks towards the door. "I might call later, bye One."

"Two. Two wait, please don't leave!" She rushes after her but abruptly stops in her tracks. She knew that it would be the last time that she'd be seeing her. "Well I don't fucking need you anyway!" She yells at Two but the brunette waves and continues walking.

"Whatever," She blinks back the tears in her eyes as she watches her last friend disappear down the road. "She'll be back… They'll all come back if they know what's good for em'."
