There was heavy tension in the room as the men glared at each other,boss and servant. Sarah bit her lips and gently went under the duvet giving her back to the door.

"Are you slacking from your duties?"she heard Lycans voice boom with surpressed rage at Ben.

"No sir…,uhhmmm,i..uhmmm"he was now on his feet looking so lost for words and scratching his nose like a moron.

"Get out!!,I say get out!!!"he yelled angrily.

Ben dragged his feet out stopping only by the door to cast a last angry glare into the room. Lycan sighed and looked at Sarah who was still under the duvet, "come out"his voice was calm and he sat by the foot of the bed.

She slowly got out taking a peek at the room before finally bringing herself out,her eyes were lowered and her fingers interlocked still grabbing the duvet "am…am sorry Mr Lycan".

"Why did you say that?".

"Nothing,just to send him away without…maybe hurting him"she bit her lips and raised her eyes a little to look at him. He was staring into space and gently gnashing his teeth bringing out all the features of his amazing jawline.

"Do you realize what you have done?".

She stared blankly at him now,her lips quivered while her brain searched frantically for an answer.

"...answer me!!!"he yelled making her jump in fright.

"Am…am.. really sorry Mr Lycan"her voice was breaking now and for the first time in a long while she felt the massive desire to finally breakdown and weep herself silly. Her heart gave way as tears cascaded down her cheeks in torrents,she made no attempt to wipe them off or hide them.he looked at her and slowly got up and left the room banging the door angrily behind him.

Sarah wiped her eyes and slowly went back under the duvet, Lycan walked down the hall in surpressed agitation he opened his study door and got in banging it shut.he picked his pipe from the table,lit it and Drew in extensively before exhaling deeply.

The next day, Sarah sat on the couch watching the men fix in the goods into stuffed dolls. Ben was the one supervising the work,he flashed an happy smile to her direction before proceeding towards her.

"I see you are up,how are you doing today?"his voice was cheerful.

"Am better now thanks alot".

He smiled shyly, " you don't need to thank me,you are strong".

She laughed "am not".

He arched his brow in pretense surprise "but you are".

"If you say so"she shrugged her shoulder "Ben about yesterday…"

"...what about yesterday?"he cut her short.

Sarah bit her lips "the thing is…".

"...don't worry about it Sarah". He smiled "I understand,and I can't force you,besides am here to work".

She nodded her head "thanks,let's be friends"she stretched out her hand for an handshake.

He grabbed it with a wide grin "you are welcome Miss".
********************************************************************************************************************************************************
Loud music blared in the huge room,the loud noises of people filled the atmosphere smokes from different lighted cigarettes curled into the air making the environment choking.

Sarah drained the last dregs of whiskey from the glass she held and started dragging her feet into the house,she belched noisily as she stared confusedly at different doors. She seemed lost at where her door was,she started singing loudly before pushing open the door,she stumbled forward into the arms of somebody.

"Sorry Mr,I just want to sleep"she belched again pushing the figure away and making her way to the wardrobe.

"You are at the wrong place"he muttered between clenched teeth.

"Am at the right place Mr,I will appreciate if you excuse me else I call the cops on you".

He chuckled and walked gently to the bed then he laid on it "you seriously left the party and found your way in here to meddle in my affairs as well as invading my privacy?".

She bowed in a courtesy,retched terribly made a little run for it to the bathroom and finally vomited into the bowl,her groans filled the room as she continued throwing up. She came out stared at the figure on the bed and finally fell on the bed beside him. He stood up quickly and looked at her.

"Get out!!!"he yelled.

"After you mister"she turned her back and dozed off.

He stared at her for a couple more minutes,then he stood up and went to stand by the window staring into the starry night skys,he could hear her soft sighs as she slept like a child without a care in the world.

Sarah turned softly on the bed groaning in tiredness,she touched her forehead tiredly still holding the duvet over her chest.soft sighs escaped her lips as she stared up at the ceiling then she jumped up in fright staring round her.

"Where am I?"she thought as she continued looking around then she caught the hair sticking out of the couch,she tip toed over and stared then she gasped sitting on the floor in Surprise and covered her mouth with her eyes popping out of their sockets "how did I get here?".

Her mind went round in circles quickly as the scene of the previous night flashed through her brain "oh my God"she wailed scratching her head. She stood up and tip toed trying to get through the door but she tripped on her own feet falling heavily on the sleeping body on the couch.

"Ouch!!"she wailed struggling to stand on her feet.

He opened his eyes and looked at her,for the first time she stared into his eyes,they were beautiful dark blue yet cold but for the first time she bet she could feel the pain behind those eyes.

She slowly picked herself up from his body "am sorry Mr Lycan".

He nodded "get out"he whispered,turned his back and went back to sleep.

"What about the goods sent to Mexico,has it gotten to them?".

"Yes boss,the dragons have gotten their hands on it, everything is going smoothly".

"What about the container".

"We have gotten it, but boss,we lost about 2kg".

"What?!!"his hands slammed loudly on the desk.

"Am sorry boss,she could not make it".

"Do we have another transporter available?".

"No boss,we have lose about 3 transporters within a month".

"What!!!?,and what have you been doing?".

"The best transporter we got so far was Sarah though she went for the first time but she did very well".

He sighed "forget it,we will get another transporter or you check the alleyways for the homeless pay them handsomely and they will get to work".

"Okay boss,but boss what about Sarah".

He glared menacingly "get to work".

He curtsied slightly "okay boss".

Ben opened the door "boss,the container has land".

"Get it offloaded and circulate to the clients".

"Okay boss".

The door opened, Sarah walked in with a tray of cookies and drinks "Mr Lycan,I noticed you have not had breakfast so I got these for you".

He glared "get it out of my sight"he muttered.

"Take a bit,you will like it".

"I said take it out of my sight!!".

She sighed "only if you will stop being stubborn and listen to me for once,you need to eat".

He picked his pipe and stormed out slamming the door behind him.she stood staring until she heard the heavy sound of the door which seemed to bring her back to reality.

"Whatever"she pouted her lips and stuck a cookie into her mouth and began to munch away.

"Get my bag,I might be gone for a long while.keep everything under control till I get back".

"Okay boss". Ben appeared with a black bag and box,he dropped the back at the car bonnet while placing the box in the seat.

Lycan got in and the driver ignited the engine,the car spurred into life before getting in motion. He turned round and found the neatly wrapped box beside him "who kept this thing here?".

The driver used the mirror "I don't know sir".

He picked it out of curiosity and opened it,it contained the cookies Sarah had given him earlier "stop over at that bridge,I need to dispose something".

"Okay sir".the driver pulled over and he stepped down dumping the box into the fast flowing water.he got in and continued on his journey.

Sarah paid close attention to the voices from the hallway,she could make out Ben voice and a couple of others which she could not place.she tip toed down the passageway till she got to the dark alley,the stinky room where she had first been kept when she was brought into the house. She touched the door knob holding air in her chest as her heart pounded heavily threatening to hurl itself out,the door gave way creaking a little,she pushed it open gently,used her eyes to scan round before letting herself in cautiously.

The place was just has she had left it that day,the bunker was still in place.she went to the hole where she had dug to keep her burner phone but it was all gone,cold sweats broke out on her forehead and her blood ran faster than normal,her head worked frantically when she suddenly remembered she had threw it beneath the bunker. She went down on all fours and proceeded to use her hand in search of the phone,with her hand,she swept the underneath bunker but couldn't find the phone.she stood up in confused annoyance staring into space and wondering if she had really misplaced it or somebody had found it.

"Looking for these miss?"a familiar voice sounded behind her helping to confirm her suspicions.

"Ben"she called as she turned round to face that face with the dangerous smile on it.

"So sorry I plunged into your privacy,I just couldn't help myself".

"Ben is not what you think".

"And what do I think?"

"I can explain"she offered frantically.

"Sure,you can do that,but not to me".

Her eyes were pleading now "I was blackmailed to give information out from the gang to there set of people that I know nothing about,they swore to kill me if I don't do as they say".she offered frantically without thinking.

He was quiet as heavy tension hung between them,he was staring at the phone like a souvenir while she prayed "I told you,you don't owe me any explanation".

"Just don't sell me out Ben,I beg you,Mr Lycan will kill me if you do",she pleaded as she fell on her knees pleading with him.

"And what immense pleasure I will derive watching the man you had confessed to loving kill you with his own bare hands, slowly and painfully"he chuckled cupping her chin with his finger.

"Psychopath"she spat.

"Thank you miss".he curtsied and turned to leave.

She turned her head quickly and found a shovel at the corner,with a swift movement she grabbed it and hit him on the back of his head,he fell with a thud to the ground unconscious.

"Forgive me Ben". She dropped the shovel with a clatter,picked out a knife and stabbed him continuously watching as he took his final breath.she dragged him and rolled him beneath the bunker,threw the blood stained shovel under it and cleaned the blood on the knife on his shirt before putting it back behind her pants.

The burner phone in her pocket with the knife safely kept in her pants she proceeded back upstairs to her room keeping out of sight of the other men and the poke nosing maids,she pulled off her blood stained top and threw it under the bed,pulled off her pants and proceeded into the shower.

Sarah got a quick shower before rushing out,she also threw the pants under the bed before picking up the burner phone she had dropped.she dailed the only number on it,it rang for a while before a female voice answered from the other end "hello".

"Agent K on the line, operation still in progress".
