Sophia woke up to someone vigorously shaking her. She pushed the hand aside sleepily, mumbling.
"Pearl...it's Saturday. Just let me sleep some more"
Adrian pauses looking at her like she had run mad. She really was a deep sleeper. He had been trying wake her up for minutes now.
"Sophia.... wake up..." He said gruffly shaking her. When she didn't budge, he fought the urge to take advantage of her in the car. Smiling, he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. Then without thinking, he pinched her ear lobe really hard and dragged it.
"Ouuuuuuch" Sophia shouts sitting up, holding her ear. She turned to Adrian with a horrifying expression.
"What? Are you mad?"
"You know I could have just taken advantage of you but I ...."
Sophia became confused. "What are you talking about" Then she rubbed her ear looking outside with a sulking face "and where are we"
Adrian loosened her hand from the handcuffs.
"Let's go"
Sophia remained seated, rubbing her wrists. "Go where"
"To get your arm and ankle treated. And also get you some cloths. Get out from the car" Adrian explained impatiently.
Sophia decided to step out. She limped almost to fall once she steps out but Adrian was by her side immediately. He quickly wound his arm around her waist and uses the other to put her arm across his shoulders.
"I'm not lame you know" Sophia said irritatingly "I just have no choice seeing as someone shot at my leg"
"I wouldn't have...if someone had listened to me"
"Well maybe that someone didn't want to listen to a pathetic...."
"I'll leave you here for your treatment while I go look for some clothes for you". Adrian said when they entered the pharmacy. He dropped her on a bench. As Sophia winced, he called the attention of two nurses.
"I'm sure you know what will happen to you if you try to escape. Besides you don't know around here very much and you might get lost even if you try"Adrian said to her watching as she ignored him, rubbing her wounded arm. "So don't bother trying"
After a quick chat with the nurses, he leaves.
"Hey" Sophia called out to one of the nurses who was looking for a bandage. "Where exactly are we. Like what's the name of this place"
"This is a pharmacy"
Sophia rolled her eyes. "Where exactly is your pharmacy"
"Are you new here" Another nurse asked. Sophia looked at her wondering if anyone had as much cleavage as she did.
"Uh....Yes I'm new here"
"Was that your husband" The first nurse asked coming over with a silver tray of bandages and iodine.
"No way. That murder can never be anything more than my enemy" Sophia blurted out and when she realized where she was, she cleared her throat.
"I mean...he's uh...just my friend actually and we just moved here"
"Oh....well. Welcome to San Diego" The nurse with much cleavage said smiling uncertainly at her.
"San What????"
