Matt read the text from Athena that said she was going on a date tonight with some guy named Bret. He was outraged. The plane only had a few more hours to go before it landed in New York City.

“She’s waking up.” Zacky spoke.

All attention went to Ruby whose eyes were fluttering open.

“Morning, bitch.” Matt growled.

Ruby tried to fight but found that her wrist and ankles were bound together. A thick piece of duck tape covered her mouth, preventing her from making anything but a muffled scream.

“Keep trying bitch.” Brian laughed.

Everyone started to laugh at her except for Jimmy who appeared to be asleep. The only thing was that Jimmy wasn’t sleeping. Instead he was listening in on them. He didn’t want to help them hurt Ruby or find Athena. Jimmy knew Athena was trying as hard as she could to forget all about Matt and the people he had murdered.

“The plane will be landing in a few moments, please prepare for landing.” The pilot spoke making Matt grin.

“I’ll see you soon, At.”



Athena dressed for her date with Bret. Then checked her phone just in case Ruby texted her. A knock at the door interrupted her. She walked to the door and looked through the peep hole to see Bret

“Well, hello there beautiful.” Bret grinned when she opened the door.

Athena blushed and thanked him, then noticed the gun in his front pocket. He saw where she was looking and led her out of the apartment.

“It’s for safety, don’t worry. I won’t fire unless it’s completely necessary.” He assured her.

Hearing him say that made Athena feel almost 100% better about tonight. He led her to his motorcycle. She could still remember when Matt used to take her for rides on his motorcycle. Athena could remember the first time he had taken her for a ride on it.

”Are you sure it‘s safe?” Athena asked for the hundredth time.

Matt chuckled and pressed his lips to hers, “Don‘t you trust me?”

“Of course.” Athena giggled.

“Okay babe, then get on.” Matt climbed onto the bike.

Athena hesitated but finally climbed on and wrapped her arms around Matt‘s torso. He started the bike up then sped off down the road, at first Athena was hesitant but once he started to go faster a smile found it‘s way on to her face.

Matt slowed down and leaned back a bit, “Do you trust me?”

“With my life.” She answered.

Matt grinned after hearing her response then speed up again, “Hold on tight.”

“Yo, Athens. You okay?” Bret asked, snapping her out of her thoughts.

“What? Oh yeah I’m fine. Just thinking.” Athena faked a smile as he started up his bike.

Bret drove to a fancy Italian restaurant and got a quiet table at the back. They both ordered a plate of spaghetti and meatballs then talked about different things liked music and movies. After dinner was over and Bret had paid, the two decided to go for a walk.

“Athens, do you know them?” Bret asked, pointing at the group of five men that all had tattoos and peircings.

“Oh my god. Run!” Athena grabbed his hand and ran the other way.

She could hear the group running behind them. Bret jumped inside of his car, Athena on his heels. The two sped out of there as fast as they could. Gunshots fired at the car but not for long since Bret quickly got out of sight. But before they got too far, Athena noticed the familiar blond with pink streaks.

“They have Ruby!”
