She Is There

Paris

I looked before me and the man who was supposedly suspicious pulled out a gun and I docked lower as I saw him shot.

I previously thought my life wasn't in danger since they wanted something from me but this proved me otherwise.

The hotel got into chose as a gun shot was heard and in this choas Lucian pulled my hand and we ran off through the backdoor just before it got crowded.

After running miles I stopped to take a breather as I said "Luci, I think we lost them we can take a break now" I tried to catch my breath as layed back against the wall in the corner.

"I thought they wanted something from me? Why did they now want my life?" I asked and he scoffed he seemed not really that suprised that all this was happening.

He seemed prepared but Luci was just that adaptive and I wasn't willing to doubt him he was my only help.

"He isn't from the same gang. Infact he isn't even from a gang he is a killer." He said and my eyes widened who could I have offended that was after my life?

"A killer? There is no one that should be after my life, no one should be even able to dear to harm me" I said and he smiled.

"We'll talk about that later, let's just try our best to protect our lives now" he said and he smiled at me as we began in our journey again.

Honestly this was complicated really! This wasn't the first Ethan left the house and I decided to give my self a breather infact I had been doing that in years and nothing this dangerous happened.

What was different? I questioned my self as we walked down the alley finally getting into an open and busy road.

I smiled at Lucian as our minds synced. We first got into a mall where got our selves a chanve of clothes before we went to eat at a restaurant which looked sort of high end.

"We can just take a cab and go home now" I said to him as I sighed all I wanted to do right now was get back home before I got into another trouble with Ethan.

Lucian gave me a reassuring smile but I could tell he was worried "I don't feel that's the best thing to do, let's relax in a hotel first"

Though he said it like we were going to have a lesire time I could see the seriousness in his eyes and although I wished to get back to my residence as soon as possible I still had to preserve my leave first.

He got into the packing lot as he took a random bike and claimed on giving me the helmet I looked at the bike suspiciously before I asked "Don't you want to know who owns that?"

"I got someone to prepare it for us and I know it by the logo. Why else would my key fit in." He asked and I shrugged he was right.

I hoped on and we rode to an hotel and I was hit with confusion this was an high end hotel with top security but why couldn't we just go home.

"Luci? Since we know have the bike why do we still have to come here to hide?" I asked and he chuckled, I couldn't believe he found my serious question funny.

"We are not here to hide, this is just to distract them from our original location and the bike carries too much risk if we can't divert them, who will protect you in your home if they followed you there?"

His words made me hit my forehead as I felt like the dumbest person ever this was were obvious things and I failed to notice. This time around we didn't even lodge in as they directly gave us keys.

"Can we finally talk now?" I asked seeing this had died down a little and because I also had a thousand questions streaming through my mind.

Lucian led me to the coffee room and we took a table as we sat down to talk. "This hotel needs reservation. How were able to reserve it?"

My question seemed stupid and even I knew it but I just had to ask the Lucian I knew would have never gotten all of this mapped out in just minutes.

"That's a weird questions to ask" he said and I just rolled my eyes but he answered either ways "I got someone to reserve this spot just like I got someone to reserve the bike."

"Did you know that we were going to get attacked by another person and end up on this street. How were so precise in your reservations?" I scoffed at his reply he was really so connected huh?

"I didn't know we would get attacked but I did plan for us to stay at this hotel in the first place. The bike was just sent according to my location"

His words seemed to have logic and although I wanted to suspect him but he had protected me throughout this whole trip he wasn't supposed to be suspected.

This is all so sudden for me why do I now feel like Ethan had always protected me with his residence but I knew fully well that he didn't.

"So how long are we to stay in this hotel. I have somewhere to get to urgently" I said and he looked at the watch on his hands before she replied.

"Not too long, just wait till I confirm that we have shaken them off" he said and I breathe out a sigh of relief. What a crazy turn my day to relax took. Now I wasn't relaxing but in grave danger.

"Where did you run off to after college? I couldn't seem to get to you, everyone couldn't get to you. You just ghosted"

I said and he smiled, this high end life really wasn't for me, I would do anything to change the topic at this moment and I missed my friend.

"My father said we should switch cities bit I also tried to reach out to you and I couldn't catch you, you also seemed to ghost"

He said and I chuckled there was no way he would try to reach out to someone and never reach them "That's really funny from someone who's as able to reach out to the president who am I that you can't reach out to"

He chuckled hard at my words and I rolled my eyes "You know I never reached out to any president. Don't tell me you actually thought I did?" His words made me roll my eyes as I sat back and I saw Ryan one of Ethan's friends.

If he ever saw me and Ethan knows that I was in a hotel with a man? I would be doomed and no explanation could save me.

I made an impulse move and hid under the table and watched the leg movement until I saw it leave and I breathe out a sigh of relief when I tried to make my way back up and I saw Lucian was also under the table.

"You scared me! What are you doing there?"

"Why did you hide here like that? Did you see one of the men?" He asked and I shrugged him off as I sat up on the chair.

"I...I just picked up something that fell" I lied with a broad fake smile on my face and he gave me teh same fake as he pointed behind me and I heard his voice call my name to my horror.

"Paris!?" I turned back to see Ryan standing right in front of me, oh no! I was doomed.
