DFACoughing at her comment of everyone being quite uptight he could understand, there were certain members he considered quite uptight and serious. Her brother one of them. “You have to have a bit of fun in this line of work, else it will get to you if you have morals. I remember how torn I was on my first ever job, I’m surprised your brother has put up with me for that long.” Shrugging slightly as he finished off his beer, he always seemed quite light-hearted, fun and happy. Deep down it was his form of defence, working undercover he had played many different roles and he had learnt it was easy to play the carefree type. However, he had played it so long he wasn’t sure what was real anymore.
“I’m worried for my neck, not yours! Anything happens to you your brother would have me. I’m sure I heard a rumour about Damian getting rather mad at someone before that let you get hurt. Any truth to it?” Giving Rowan a playful wink he pulled out his wallet and placed his card on top of the check that had been set down at the table. Regardless of the bet he was always going to pay, he didn’t feel right making her pay for it. “I’m sure a Byre can handle the job regardless, just don’t do anything stupid like me.” There had been plenty of mistakes he had made on serious jobs, but he had managed to pull through. “Although I’m pretty excited to see the faces when you tell them who you are, that will be hilarious~”
As the server had returned with the card machine Evan smiled and placed his card in the reader to pay. “Will that be all?” The server had asked politely with a smile.
“Yes, thanks. We should be heading off.” Handing back the machine he placed his card back in his wallet with a cheeky grin on his face, “I mean… just because he hasn’t called doesn’t mean anything.” Standing up he stretched his limbs before he headed back towards the car, “What if the car broke down? Maybe she has a lot to pack?” He knew it was ridiculous and that she was right, the most likely option was the escape attempt nothing else. “Can’t blame her for trying though.” Moving quickly through the rain he got back in the car placing the heater on to warm up. It had only been a couple of seconds, but he could feel the chill from the rain, clothes sticking to him slightly but luckily, he wasn’t drenched.
“Right, any other stops or shall we head back now?”

Her lip trembled as she heard his voice, his words about how there was no sense in running. He could have half the city on her trail, and it scared her, the idea that this was it. She was going to be trapped and she didn’t know what would happen. All she knew was to run, the instinct kicking in as she continued to try making her escape. Her mind was racing as she tried to focus on the path ahead of her, thoughts circling her mind on various outcomes and doubts on being able to escape.
Iris was so wrapped up in her thoughts that when she felt an attempt to grab her it startled her, causing distress. “Ah!” Crying out as her footing slipped. She had become flustered at the blunder and before she could balance herself, she went crashing down to the pavement, hands outstretched on instinct to shield her fall. Muddy water splashed up from the floor from the impact and she debated on if she wanted to even get back up. The fall had done it, sealed her fate. There was no chance from getting out of this, it was still unlikely had she still been running she’d make it. It was a fool’s effort to even try. Avoiding his gaze, she kept her head down as she started to pick herself back up from the floor. “Please, no one has to know. I could disappear.” Whispering out her words as she stared intently at the puddle on the floor that she had landed in, she didn’t have the courage to look at him.
Closing her eyes, she listened to the rain fall, her body shuddered as the adrenaline had worn off and it was registering the sting of the rain. She could feel the dull ache in her hand return which the fall hadn’t helped. “I’m confused... I don’t understand why this is happening. What I’m supposed to do with my life? Everything has changed.” Thankfully it was raining because she couldn’t hold in the couple of tears that fell, however she was drenched and her blonde hair was dripping wet sticking to her face in places so she hoped it was good enough cover to hide the tears. “How can you just sell someone like that? How… how could he do this to me…” Her voice sounded defeated at the last comment because she was finally coming to terms with what he father had done, the only member of her family.
