“Don’t move.  I am not going to hurt you.”  He said in a low husky voice.

I struggle but he pins me harder to the wall.

“I said don’t move, they are going to hear you.  There are bad people out there looking for me.  They will kill you too.”  His voice softens and stares at me seriously.

I tried to clam myself down and for the first time I notice his face.  He is actually a ‘she’.  It is too dark to see her face properly but I am captivated by her sparkling eyes.  They are intense green, like green diamonds shining in the night.  I am momentary lost in those beautiful eyes.

“Don’t scream, ok?”  It is both a question and an order.

I am not sure if I can control the screaming, still I nod slightly.  She loosens her grip on me and touches her shoulder with her palm instead.  She winces at the contact.

“You are hurt.” I whisper.

“I know genius.  Help me.” She replies.

I am about to say something when we hear footsteps coming closer.  She presses her body closer to me and motion for me to stay still.  Her face is close to mine, we both look away at the same time.

Then we hear a man shouts ‘Clear!’. 

When I feel that she has loosened her body, I say, “I am going to call the police.  They will help you.” 

“Don’t.”

“If you are not the bad guys then why…”   I am eyeing her suspiciously.

“I am not exactly innocent neither.”  She flashes me a grin.

She is beautiful… Wait, I am being held hostage and I am think about how beautiful her smile is?  I am clearly insane.

“How do I know you are not going to kill me afterwards?”  My senses are coming back to me now.

“How do I know that you are the good ‘bad’ guy in this?”  I added.  Em… Good bad guy? maybe not my full senses after all. 

She just chuckles.  “I did not put a gun to your head missy.  I could have but I haven’t and I didn’t hurt you neither.”
