21st July- Berlin, Germany
Demetri’s room
Letty’s POV
I stood unmoving as I stared longingly out the window. It was early morning, and we’d not long got back from the warehouse. Demetri was lying naked, asleep in the bed where I had been just a few minutes before hand. I felt dead; at this point in my depression I wasn’t sure anyone could make me feel alive again.
When Demetri had threatened me with force once more, the last of my will to fight had officially left me. I had gone to his bed willingly, knowing by the look of glee on his face I had pleased him. For the first time since meeting him there was no violence and no aggressiveness just the same possession. I had waited until he fell asleep and then some before I moved away from his hold.
Now here I still stood unable to move from the room just yet. My hazy mind trying to make sense of every passing thought. Some I liked better than others, like the ones that involved him dead. I knew Demetri well enough to know the room was riddled with weapons. I could guaranty if I looked I would find a knife or a gun. What I couldn’t guaranty was me being able to follow through with what happened after that. I wanted to. I wanted to so badly but I couldn’t make myself, not yet anyway.
Taking one last glance at Demetri I high tailed it out of the room. I needed room to think about tonight and I needed sleep, but first I needed a shower.
Eight hours later
“Come on already let’s roll. We don’t have all fucking night.” Demetri snapped shoving a gun into Christian’s hands. I shuddered to think what he would do with that.
‘At least I just rolled them out of the car, I didn’t kill them first.’ I thought sourly.
“I like this morning. I like it when you cooperate with me. It’s less painful don’t you think Lia?” Demetri spoke as he brushed up against my side, running a hand over my cheek. I managed a small smile and a nod before dropping my gaze.
“Next job you’ll work with me. I want to keep an eye on you, keep you safe. I need to look after what’s mine.” He spoke, gently kissing my lips before pulling away. I took the hint and made my way to the car where Gabriel was waiting for me.
“Ready?” He asked in a gruff voice. He was clearing uncomfortable with what he witnessed today.
“Yeah let’s just get this over and done with.” I spoke quietly.
En route
“I can’t get any closer, this will have to do.” Gabriel spoke and I nodded moving myself into position.
“Stay close behind me.” I offered before I climbed out the window and onto the roof of the truck. There was a bigger gap between our truck and the military, not to mention it was all over the place. Gabriel was moving as well, trying to match its path. Clearly the driver knew what was happening but didn’t know what else to do but swerve.
Taking a leap of faith I jumped, going airborne the same time the truck swerved yet again. My heart was hammering as I reached out into the darkness, hoping to feel the cool metal beneath my fingers to let me know I was going to make it. I didn’t feel the metal.
As if luck was on my side Gabriel made the truck swerve back just in time. My entire body connected with the truck, searing pain flooded my ribs and a strangled cry tore from my lips. My old injuries were being tested as I scrambled to hold onto something. I grabbed and held on tightly to the roof rack, my only option as the truck continued to swerve. I felt something collide with my leg and before I knew what was happening the truck was skidding all over the road. It had been sideswiped. I cried out as the truck started to flip and I was forced to let go.
I connected with the ground hard, winded and unable to breathe as I lay flat against the asphalt. I tried to gasp for breath once my senses were returned to me, bright lights forcing me to close my eyes. I heard the sounds of doors opening and yelling but then everything went black and I welcomed it.

Meet up point
I paced nervously as we waited for Lia and Gabriel. They were late, really late. Demetri was pacing like a caged tiger, ready to rip someone’s head off with little notice. His gaze kept flicking from the boss to his watch.
“I’m disappointed Demetri but I’ll take what I have here. I suggest you have a word to your team about time management and discipline your team better.” Carlos snapped making Demetri flinch but nod hastily.
“I don’t understand what’s happened; we’ll do better next time.”
“We’ll see. Let’s go.” He snapped to his hunch men and they left just as fast as they had arrived.
I glanced at Demetri only to see he was seething. I hoped for Lia’s sake they had a good reason for being late to the delivery. If looks were anything to go by Demetri looked ready to kill.
Letty’s POV
“Lia? Lia can you hear me?” I heard loudly. I groaned in response to the loud noise and tried, unsuccessfully to bat the hands away.
“Come on girl open your eyes.” I groaned again and tried to fight my heavy lids. Forcing them open I blinked rapidly as the blinding light, followed by the searing pain, hurt my eyes.
“What happened?” I mumbled to Gabriel as he pulled me into sitting position. My head pounded and I felt myself sway as I fought the urge to vomit. The world was spinning and I wished it would stop.
“I clipped the back of the truck and sent it spinning, sorry Lia. Come on we have to go, Demetri’s gunna be pissed we missed the pickup and crashed a car.” I closed my eyes and hung my head.
“We’re in so much shit.” I mumbled as I was helped to my feet.
“I’ll take the wrap, it was my fault not yours.” He promised but I knew Demetri wouldn’t see it that way.
