Playing The Field

Marcus watches as she sleeps. After half an hour he moves and gets dressed. Walking out he sits in the lobby, Mr Cortez walking in and sitting opposite her.

"It's done."

Mr Cortez nods smiling; his hands clasped together.

"Avalyn and Ian are not on speaking terms; she feels used by him. She doesn't want to go back and has accepted the risk from you for not hiding this."

Mr. Cortez nods smiling. "Well, my plan worked. We're back on track Marcus. Give it a week or two; then we will move on to the next stage. As promised here." Mr. Cortez holds out his hands, and Marcus takes the papers and glancing over them, he has done well. Considering he didn't have any luck.

"Don't change the plan again; you did that already and set this whole thing back. She was meant to be arrested and me there to save Avalyn. You were never meant to go back to her." Marcus nods, he fucked up, he knows he did.
