All of this silence and patience, pining and desperately waiting.
My hands are shaking from all this.

I walked out the back door of Caulfield's and breathed in a cold air of the night, it's been a long day. I wanted to go back to my warm bed so bad, so I hurried my steps up, hope there's still a taxi to catch or i might have to walk all the way home.

   The streets was quiet, most of the people are probably sleeping. I kept walking through the darkness, thinking random stuff.

   Then i felt something strange, a footsteps following me, i look behind, no one was there, maybe i was just being too paranoid.

   It happened again, this time louder, it was closer. I'm getting freaked out like a girl in a horror movie, i started walking faster, it turned to running.

   The one in the darkness after me still running towards me, I haven't stopped, still going, and going.

   "Ah!!" I bumped into someone in front of me. "Jon?"

   Mr.Parker's bodyguard.

   "Are you alright, Ms.(L/n)?" He asked.

   "I think someone followed me."

   He was real concerned, grabbed out a... gun? Oh my lord, a real gun out of his shirt's pocket.

   He passed me to another guards that i can't remember his name, he took me in a car.

   "This car is bulletproof, you'll be safe in here." He told me, closed the door right after and walked out.

   Wait? What is happening here? I looked out the mirror and noticed how many Parker's mens are in this alley. It was like i was a president or something.

   Jon and the rest walked around with their gun to find the stalker I mentioned, they then gave up, and Jon got in the car, drive for me.

   "What's happenings, Jon?"

   "I don't know."

   (Author : You kNow NothiNg Jon Snow. *easter eggs*)

   "Then why did you all came here just in time?"

   "Mr.Parker received a threatened message just a while ago."

   He started driving, I noticed the other guards got in their cars, driving along next to ours. "A threatened message about?"

   "Your life."

   "What?" I gasped, everything happened too fast, I don't think i can breathe. "What should i do?"

   "We're taking you to Mr.Parker's castle in Nevada, you'll be safe there."

   I didn't think it was a good idea to just leave New York, but if someone really wants to kill me i should better run to somewhere safe.

   We drove away from the city, it's peaceful and quiet. I realized i love running away from my problems, the money, all the debts, it would be nice to escape everything without causing any consequences.

    "Jon, where are we going?" I called his name very often, maybe it's because he's the only one I remember the name of.

   "His personal airport, we're close, Ms.(L/n)."

   "Just (Y/n)."

   "I can't Miss, it's a rule."

   Rules. So many rules with this guy.

   "Hey, how come you work for Mr.Parker?"

   He looked hesitated to answer for a little bit, but this road is so long, i think he wanted some conversation too.

   "I was an orphan, i was trying to stole Mr.Stark's wallet, but instead of turning me to the police, Mr.Parker told Mr.Stark to find someone to adopt me."

   "Wow..."

   Another side of Parker that i have not seen. He looks intimidating and all but is very kind deep down, maybe that's why he helped me.

   "And ho---- god!!!" I yelled as the car of the bodyguard next to my car exploded in pieces.

   "Shit, we're under attack!!" Jon yelled.

   I just saw someone died by my own eyes for the first time, so i stood there, stoned in fears. Jon drove so fast, trying to getaway from these bullets storm around us.

Another car exploded, we still going as fast as we could. It was like a nightmare, every car torn apart one by one, until we are the only car left on the road.

Jon tapped on a radio button. "Parker airport it's 562! We're under an attack from an unknown enemy, the weapons can't be located. Please set up a reinforcement for us! We're almost there!"

[Acknowledge.] They replied immediately.

The car rush and drifted until we reached the giant size airport, we drove inside and the steel door closed right after us, just before another grenade launcher can harm us.

Jon was breathing as hard as i did, when he caught his breathe he turned to check on me. "Are you okay?"

"I'm alive." I said, that was so intense.

He walked out, opened the door for me, Parker's mens ran to my way.

"Evening, Ms.(L/n). I'm Mina, we're taking you to Nevada tonight, we'll fly as soon as possible to getaway those enemies."

"Okay..." I said, i think my head is spinning.

"The flight takes 4 hours, we have dinner, drinks and dressed for you fo change in the plane."

I remember going to an amusement park when i was a kid, i played a roller coaster and after i got back on my feet, i fainted.

Well, that drive Jon did felt exactly like that roller coaster.

I fainted.

I woke up and wanted to throw up. Where am i? I'm up in the air. I looked outside the mirror, seeing the yellow moon, clouds and stars from the distance. It was gorgeous, i've never seen the sky from here.

Guess they're taking me to Nevada by this luxury private jet, everything here looks so expensive, I didn't dare to touch anything, so I walked around, i found a guard.

"Where are we now?" I asked.

"We're almost there, my lady."

"I've been sleeping for almost 4 hour?"

"The doctor already checked on you, you'll be fine, Mr.Parker is waiting for you, your bathroom and closet is that way." He pointed at the door.

I took my time to walked over there, then found a little bedroom, I grabbed something on the closet to wear, they're my style.

I spent the time after to just staring out of the mirror, fascinating by the beauty of stars, it'd be great to be up here all years, without any annoying human, above all of them.

The door opened, the guards wanted me back in the seat, we're landing, it was quite scary when the plane making noises, but knowing i'll see Mr.Parker, it was worth it.

We're here, I walked to the airplane door, they opened it up slowly. Down there at the end of the stairs, he was waiting for me. Winds were in our hairs, our eyes were on each other's face.

I walked down the stairs to him, imagine i was wearing a white gown on my wedding day, don't blame me, he was the one stood there like a groom first.

"You're alright?" He asked.

"Never been this good." I said.

"I'm sorry."

"For what, sir?"

"Dragging you into all this. I have lots of enemies, now they're on you." He look real guilty.

"It's not your fault."

"It is." He put my messy hair behind my ears. "Stay with me for a while, i'll keep you safe."

"You don't even have to ask." I told him.

He stepped even closer, his nose touched my face as he whispered. "Think of all the bad things we could do."

"...how bad can it be?" I whispered back.

"Let's starts with sin city." He said.

"Sin city?"

"I'm taking you to Las Vegas."
