ELEVATOR

Damien continued to hold her as his mind drifted to so many thoughts, the investigation was still on and for the first time in ten years, he was really close. 

Selena's presence had really helped him to get more information, though she was still hiding things from him, Damien was sure she would open up soon. 

"Is it over now?" Selena asked. 

She was still leaning on him, her hands wrapped around his torso. Selena had always had this fear, she could stab herself with a dagger and shoot her arm with a gun, all that didn't scare her, but the thought of having a needle piercing through her skin, that gave her shivers. 

"So you are scared of needles?" Damien asked as he looked around the place, his eyes seemed alert. 

"Not exactly, I just don't like the idea of something piercing my skin" Selena defended, she placed her hands on his chest and created a distance between the both of them. 

"You are not scared of needles?" Selena asked she she looked at him, he looked calm as he fixed his eyes on something else in the room. 

"No" Damien answered. 

"Then what are you sacred of?" Selena asked. She was curious to know, the man didn't look like he was scared of anything, but that was impossible. There's always something, everyone has something that they are afraid of, she was curious to know. 

"You ask too many questions" Damien said as he pulled away from her, he tucked strands of her hair behind her ears as he looked at her. 

"We'll be travelling tomorrow" Damien announced. "I would say pack your baggage but you don't really have much" Damien said with a mocking tone.

"Ouch" Selena said followed by a small laugh. "You know I use to have lots of baggage, in my old apartment" Selena said as she thought about something. 

"Do you want to go back to you old apartment to get your things?" Damien asked. 

"It won't be wise to go back there, I'm sure the agency already sent some agents there" Selena said. Going back there would be a stupid move on their part. 

"She's here" Damien said as he watched the attendant walk up to them. 

"She smiles a lot" Selena said as she turned and held on to Damien's arm, she was getting really touchy with him these past days.

"What's wrong with smiling?" Damien asked as he looked at her from his side.

"In my line of work, when someone smiles too much it means they are hiding something" Selena whispered and then she saw the expression on his face change. "I'm just saying" Selena added with a shrug. 

"The rings are ready" She said with a smile.

"You look more excited than me" Selena couldn't help but comment, something about the attendant seemed odd. Selena didn't want to take any chances but she also didn't want to jump into conclusions. 

The attendant didn't say a word, she looked at them with a small smile on her lips as she handed a bag to Damien. 

"Is there anything else you want?" Damien asked as he reached his hand to his pocket and brought out his phone. 

"Nothing really" Selena said as she looked around the place for the last time, her eyes fell on the attendant again and Selena couldn't help but stare for a little while longer.

"Let's go" Damien said as he held her hand and they both walked into the elevator. 

"What's wrong?" Selena asked when she noticed the tensed look on Damien's face, his grip on her wrist was firm and it looked like he would cause a mark. 

"They are here" Damien said as the elevator doors closed shut, he looked around and saw the security cameras. 

"We knew that already" Selena said. On their way in they had seen two guys, of course they knew them very well, so why the hell was Damien getting tensed up again? 

"I can't reach the driver" Damien said as he tried calling one last time. 

Selena already understood what he meant by that, if he couldn't reach the driver then it seemed like the other guys reached him first. 

"We can't go down, they are already waiting for us there." Selena said the obvious words as she watched Damien stare in deep thought. 

"What did you say was your number one rule?" Damien asked again. 

"Do you really need me to tell you everyday?" Selena asked back as she rolled her eyes and started thinking of a means to get out.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" Damien asked with raised brows as he looked at her. No one ever dated to roll their eyes at him, looking him in the eye was considered an offense. Yet this girl dare to roll her eyes at him, Damien couldn't believe it. 

"I don't really have time to play question and answer with you Damien" Selena said as she looked at the buttons on the elevator. "Where are we going, first floor? Second floor? Exit?" Selena kept asking as she looked at the buttons.

"Hey hey" Damien called out as he placed his hand on her shoulders, he could tell she was slowly starting to panic. 

Selena looked at him and gave a small nod, she took in deep breaths and tried to keep calm. 

"I'm fine" Selena said reassuring both herself and Damien.

"I'll call Dylan, I'm sure he's close by" Damien said as he dialed Dylan's number, the Internet service was bad but still he tried. 

"I thought Dylan was in another country" Selena said as she creased her brows, she could feel a head ache coming up. 

"He's coming back today, I'm sure he's at the airport, or maybe on his way to the mansion" Damien said as he continued calling and finally the call was answered. 

"What do you want this time?" Dylan complained. From his tone one could tell that the young man was tired.

"Where are you?" Damien asked, he didn't bother to beat around the bush, he went straight to the point. 

"Still at the airport, what's up?" Dylan asked. 

"I need your help with something" Damien said as he glanced at Selena before he continued with his words.

Selena could hear him say some words but she couldn't make out exactly what he was saying, she felt like she was going to fall and so she quickly leaned on the elevator walls. 

Selena closed her eyes and took in deep breaths, there was this strange feeling she was having, her knees were getting weak and she thought she would fall. 

It looked like the elevator walls were spinning and for a second Selena could swear that she saw Damien hanging upside down. Her vision was getting blurry and she felt herself falling down to the ground. 

"Selena!!" 

Selena could hear his voice and she saw him move quickly to catch her but then everything turned to darkness and she fell unconscious.
