Kassie Lovelace I knew that Enrick would take his time coming up to me since he wouldn't want everyone to think that I was important or something. Though I heard a rumor that we were secret lovers, and that was one of the tamest rumors that I heard. I downed my drink faster than I should of and the bartender was gone, I couldn't remember where he went, which was frustrating as I wanted more to drink. I wanted to be drunk! Looking around for a quick second I reached behind the bar and pulled up some delicious spiced rum, I felt an evil smile cross my face as I popped off the shot top. I took a swig and felt the sweet burn of the alcohol run down my throat. I loved the feeling and knew I was going to be drunk shortly, I couldn't wait. I could hear footsteps coming towards me, and I could tell that from the hesitation that it was Enrick. I hoped he wouldn't judge me, I didn't need that tonight, not with the bombing that was going to happen, the crap I went through with Ven, and the crap I will go through with Boss later. His voice sounded oddly attractive tonight, or was it the rum? Either way it meant that something was working, or I think so anyway. I couldn't help but wonder why he was worried about me, it's not like I meant much to anyone other than a foot man. I nearly choked on the rum when Enrick basically called me attractive, I swallowed hard and looked at him. I noticed then someone coming too close for comfort, and I didn't want them to hear anything that smooth talker here was talking about. But my mind was moving too slow to form words, I could feel panic rise in my gut as I tried to think. [i]Stupid rum! Making my mind fuzzy......... At least it's working.[/i] I thought through the fuzziness. One thought popped in my mind and it was the only thing that I knew would shut Enrick up. I turned quickly on my bar stool and nearly lose my balance as I grab Enricks shirt and pull him towards me. My lips met his in a sort of awkward kiss, but that was mostly my drunken self's fault. I couldn't help but notice that he wore a delicious tasting lip balm, it tasted of honey and mint or at least thats what I thought it tasted like. I slowly pulled away and blushed as I looked at him, "You talk too much." I managed to get out just before the alarms to the city started to go off. I could hear the locks on the doors click, meaning that I was stuck here until the "Black Baggers" check this building out and clearing it. I knew that Enrick had his papers and that everyone here had their papers, not me. They (the Black Baggers) would take me away when they find that I have no papers on me. So this would be that last night I would see a kind face, I couldn't help but wonder if Enrick knew that. "Don't be a hero." I whisper to him as I grab my rum bottle and take another swig and waited for this bar to be checked out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gabriel Lockheart She looked like a Goddess sitting there as she tried to choose something to drink, but maybe it was just me? After all I thought she was beautiful the moment I saw her, so in conclusion I was bias. But who wasn't when they were attracted to someone? I was beginning to hate my high status as it meant I was unable to choose who I wished to marry. I hoped though that, if it was alright with Miss Essair, that I asked my superiors to pair us together. After all we were both smart, had one of the best jobs in all of the city, and were attractive. It was one of the requirements in being paired, attractiveness. We both had to look "good together" and hopefully produce attractive, smart and healthy children. I was pulled from my thinking when the waiter asked me what I cared to drink, "Same, but bring the bottle and some fresh bread sticks please." I smiled as the waiter nodded and went to the kitchen. We had talked for some time about things that you would normally talk about with someone you were just getting to know. I was feeling stupid talking about these kind of things, I wanted to know more about her. I watched as she blushed as she spoke, I couldn't help but smile at how cute she looked. I waited for her to finish her sentence when my watch angrily started beeping. It sounded like it could raise the dead and probably could but no one would put it to the test. I quickly looked at the message and felt stunned. [i]How can this be?[/i] I thought as I read the message again. I looked up at Louisa and raised an eye brow, I didn't understand. I, myself and few two other of my superiors approved of Louisa's actions and even read through the twenty page report of all the things that she did. "We better go." I said lowly as I stood up and waited for her. This was serious and Louisa was probably in trouble, including myself. We were screwed.
