Playing hard

Jim and Gail looked at each other,but Jim couldn't hold on Gail's stare, because of how he was still embarrassed with what happened the last time he was here.Since then he did not want to go to the dungeon again.

Gail whispered to Jim"Did boss take something before coming down here!?"But he did not get a reply except from being shushed.Jim could not believe DM still has the guts to speak even after being given a deadly glare.But DM has gauged out a lot of people's eyes, especially spies,why does boss care about this one?

The awkward silence was broken by the tied man,"Mr Ace does this a lot right?You torture people,then you offer them a date as a way for apologizing..."He looked straight at Ace's eyes as if challenging him, little did he know that,that contact was giving Ace goosebumps all over."I guess now that you offer me a date, it's because you have already known my identity.I think you should change your IT group,since they don't get the right information on time.Plus, I'm afraid am gonna turn down your offer,both as your lawyer and also the whatever date."

The moment he declined Ace's offer,Ace felt like his chest was full of needles but he was trying very best to control his emotions.No one has ever talked back at him, neither would they even think of it,but to this man sitting infront of him,he will ensure it.He can't make another mistake now that he found him."Can we talk?"

" At least not in shackles...!"Dean answered

Ace turned to Gail,"Let him loose and you leave us alone."

"Are you sure boss?"

"Since when did I make a decision that I wasn't sure about?"

"Mr whoever you're, unshackle me, I can't do anything to him,I mean who in his right mind would attack at this ratio of one against hundred?"He pointed at himself,"plus look at my condition here."

Ace was just staring at him, the man had a well built body and slightly taller than him, though it was hard to notice, and Ace was one year older than him.'Just his type,'he thought.'doesn't he remember anything?'he wondered.Dean did not care of the attention he was given by Ace, infact all his attention was on Gail waiting for him to unshackle him,but he noticed Jim,and there gaze met.He smirked,"Hi...we meet again!"

Jim's whole face became pink,at the same time Ace turned to look at who was taking all the attention he wanted from Dean.And when he saw who it was,his face turned grim."Why are you still here? Don't you have anything to do?"Jim knew that face very well,but what could he do?He can't control himself from the man's luring eyes,and how will he hide his now hot face?But he can't understand why his boss is acting weird today.So without saying a word,he just hugged the files that were on his chest tighter, turned around and walked away.He can't believe he was behaving like a child just because of the man's glare.

"I still need you as my lawyer,"Ace spoke first,"and I ain't taking no for an answer.

"I also need to think about it, and don't give me that look." Dean answered

"What look?"

"Do I need to spell it out? So can I leave?I need to rest,I need to rest from the water and electric torture."

"You can rest in my house and then leave tomorrow,my people will take you back."

"No need, I can only rest at peace in my house."He stood up and started walking slowly but before he could reach the door,he tripped and held on to a table that was close to him.

"I will tell someone to send you back to your house."

"No need,I don't need escort,especially from your people."he spoke as he struggled to stand up again.

"What about an escort from me?"

"You are the last person that would ring in my mind."

"So when will I get an answer?"

He held the door knob and twisted it,"my assistant might call you."

"what about the..."before he could finish speaking Dean had already opened the door and left, shutting the door with a loud bang."It's gonna be a long journey,but I'll get through it if I have to,just to get to you.Steve follow him."

Steve was in charge of security,he was in the security room watching every movements that went around the mansion.He turned to Roster his colluege,"Hey Roster,take your communication device with you, I will give you shortcuts."

Dean did not take a taxi on purpose,he knew he'd be followed,yes he was searched and they didn't find any device on him except his watch,when he was leaving the place,he spotted his favorite watch,a gift from his mother,he couldn't leave it behind,so that moment when he pretended to trip,was the moment he took it.The moment he put the watch on his wrist,it opened up itself."Sarah."That was the device's name.

"What command do you have sir.?"the device spoke

"Call Enrique and give him my location."the device could recognize his voice.It was set to only recognize it's owner.

"Am right on it sir."The screen of the watch showed Enrique 's name and after beeping twice the call was picked.

"Boss,I'm at Dan's house."Enrique spoke.

"Come pick me up,Sarah already sent you the location.I am walking at a speed of thirteen minutes per kilometer.I was being followed but I dodged them.With this speed you can catch up quick,use one of Dan's fastest car,if he asks you tell him I said he should mind his business."

"I can hear you!"Dan shouted from the other side

"Copy that sir."Enrique replied

"Eeh!Copy what?!Give me that phone,let me give him a piece of my mind!"he snatched the phone from Enrique,"hello.hello.Hello!"

"Boss Dean already cut the phone a few minutes ago!"Enrique reminded him.

"I know!I'm just venting my frustrations on the phone..."he spoke as he went back to his seat .They were at the study room,he paused for a while then said,"why did you let me make a fool of myself? You should have informed me that the call was already disconnected."

"I was letting you vent your frustrations sir."Enrique spoke as he quickly walked to the door leaving Dan shouting.

"Hey!Come back here.Am I really your boss!?
