was being dragged down the hallway.

When I was settled, I looked at the ugly yellow office I sat in. The desk was a horrible green and the chairs were a dark purple. Nothing in the room matched or gave any clue to who office this is. Just as I was about to demand to be let out, Oz and another man came into the room.

Oz decided to stand in the back corner, but the other man went to the seat behind the desk and sat down, "Lilly, I am requesting your full attention."

 

Chapter Nine

 

"Have you ever heard of telling the truth? How do I even know if your name is Oz? Did you lie about that too?" I stormed into his apartment letting him carry my bag in. I walked towards the guest bedroom I will being staying in for the next month or so.

"You could have at least carried your bag in!"

"Why should I? It is not like I actually want to be here?" I stormed into the room and slammed the solid white door behind me. The room was pretty nice. Bright yellow walls with white daisies dancing across the room. Light wood flooring. A white post bed with a yellow comforter and white pillows that took up most of the bed.

I stormed over to the bed and pushed them off, regretting that I have ever met him. Crusing at the unfairness of everything, I threw pillows across the room, regreting I have ever cared for Derik. That Oz had to walk into the stupid club. For me ever taking a job at the stupid job.

"Lilly?"

"Don't fucking call me that!" I threw a pillow at the door and laid down on the bed, now that most of the pillows were at my feet.

"Fine! I was trying to be nice, but you are being a stubborn brat!" I could hear his stomps as he walked away from my door and slammed his own bedroom door. I held my breath for awhile, wondering if Oz was in his bedroom for awhile. Just enough, so I could get something to eat.

Sitting on the bed for awhile, I got up from the lumpy bed and made my way towards the kitchen. Only steps from the 'fridge, a knock came from the front door. Casting a glance at Oz's door, I could barely hear the shower running and decided that since I was living here for awhile, I might as well let them in.

Turning my attention to the door, I looked through the peephole, but the person had their finger towards the hole. What if it was Chris' henchmen? Or even Derik? I wasn't ready to confront him or anyone at this moment. I was going to let whoever out there stay out there, but I heard a lovely voice from the other side.

"Oz are you home? I saw your motorbike outside."

Unlocking the door, I stood in front of a beautiful young lady. Her golden locks were pinned up in a bun, only her bangs were in her face. She had green eyes that looked like you could be swimming in moss and dimples on her cheeks when she was smiling.

"Who are you?"

"I-I-I am Lilly. Oz's cousin."

"Oh, nice to meet you," she held her hand out, but I ignored the friendly gesture. This girl was beautiful, a slim figure, but just enough of everything to make you beg at her feet.

"What's your name?"

"Flora, I am Oz's girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" Well of course someone as hot and godlike as Oz would get a girl like Flora. Damn if I was a guy, I would be chasing after her as well. I took a step back and turned my body to let her in. After she walked in, I closed and locked the door behind her. "So how long have you and Oz been dating?"

"About a few months," Flora walked to the kitchen and pulled a water bottle out of the refridgerator. "Sorry what was your name again, I could be such an airhead sometimes."

"Lilly," I snapped at her and made my way towards the spare bedroom.

"Wait! I am afraid to be out here all by myself?"

"Your afraid to be by yourself?"

"Yes."

Sighing, I turned on my heel and sat down on the comfy one seater. I waited for Flora to sit down befor asking her some questions. "Do you know what Oz does?"

"I believe he is a dective. An important one at that. Everyone in his office just loves him."

"So you do know," I heard an door open and Oz walked out of the bedroom, hair wet and a fresh pair of clothes on. "Guess who is here, cousin? Your girlfriend Flora."

Oz's head snapped up and his eyes landed on Flora. She rans towards hima and jumped into his arms, placing a very passionate kiss on his lips. "Oh baby, I missed you so much. I just got back from Flordia an hour ago. Why didn't you pick me up like you promised?"

"I am sorry love, but I had so business to take care of," Oz's eyes flickered to me before turning back to Flora. "Have you met Lilly?"

"Yes," Flora waved me off and started to back him up into his door. "I havn't seen you in like three weeks. You know how much I missed you?" Her hands roamed down his chest and slipped into his front pockets. "I missed you alot."

"I think I will be leaving," I got up quickly before clothes were being ripped off. Closing the door, I slid down to the floor and rested my head on the warm wood. Have I already said he was going to be the death of me?

*****

I don't like this one bit. I sat next to the two love birds, making out on the couch. Turning back to the Tv I tried listening to what the main character was saying, but the sound of moans next to me, ruined the sad effect the movie was suppose to have.

Standing from my spot, I made my way to the front door. "Where are you going?" Oz stood from his seat and made his way towards me. I could see the anger flickering underneath the beautiful hazel, but my anger made all logic in my brain go out the window.

"Out."

"Not at this hour!"

"Oz, chill. I will only be out there for like ten minutes. It is better out in the freezing cold than watching," my eyes flickered to the hoe behind Oz, "the movie." I turned around and opened the door, disobeying the commands I got from the head of the police.

He said never to go out past eleven o'clock without Oz, but there was no way I was going to stay in there.

Stuffing my hands into my pockets, I pranced down the stairs and into the cold night. Goosebumps ran up my arms and down my legs. Me being me, I was wearing some fannel pants and a tank top, not the best clothes for 60 degree weather.

Rubbing my hands together I started my walk around the block.

The night air was freezing cold, but the scenery made me forget abut the cold, even if it was only for a bit. You could cleary see the stars from where I was standing. With the busy city, you neer see the night sky, especially in my crappy nieghborhood. But where I stood you could see the moon and stars.

Rocking on my feet, I started my walk again. Pulling a cherry blossoms off a tree, I touched the petals. Cherry blossoms has to be my favorite flower, even if it brought sad memories. And even happier ones.

Throwing the flower on the ground, I crushed the flower with my foot. Enjoying the softness under my toes and the warmth the tiny flower brought.

I heard a trashcan getting knocked into, I turned around to see a shady character. He or she was walking towards me, a hoodie covering their face. Turning back around, I steadily continued to walk. The feeling to start running over took my nerves, but I kept the slow pace. If I started to run, they could run too and I am not sure I am faster then them.

Turning around was out of the options as for I am about thirty feet from Oz's steps and they are mere inches. Turning the corner I ran for my life, but I felt a tug and I was being dragged into an alleyway, a hand over my mouth. Kicking my feet and trying to swing my arm around, I got a punch in.

"Fuck Lilly."

I stopped my struggle and turned towads Derik, the last person I wanted to talk too. "You scared the crap out of me!"

"Shh, they might be able to hear you!" Derik grabbed my hand and dragged me towards a fire escape. "Start climbing."

"But I am afraid of heights," I whined.

"Get your ass up there!"

Grabbing hold of the cool metal, I struggled to lift myself. But finally, I could swing my leg over and pulled myself all the way up. "What about you?"

"I am going to distract them, you climb that fucking stairway and don't leave for another thirty minutes." He made his way out of the alley before I could protest. I stayed silent for awhile before I saw the man who was following me, make his way past the alley and ran after my brother.

Ignoring his "strong suggestion" I climbed down and jumped off the ladder. Silently or as silent as I tried, I made my way out of the alleyway. I should have turned left and gone back to Oz's, but my brother could be in trouble. Instead, I took a right, I stalked the man who stalked me. Ironic.

For a long time, I just followed him. He must have lost my brother in a matter of seconds and was now wandering around the neighborhood. I always stayed my distance, making sure I didn't bump into trash cans like he did.

He turned down a street and when I caught up to him, I was hit in the head with a gun. Falling to the ground, three men towered over me, grinning down on me. "Look who we found."

"Chirs will love our catch of the day," one of the guys slung me over his shoulder. Well my day was turning all peachy. Hoping that Oz will somehow notice I was gone to long and look for me, would be turning down the street any moment.

In a haze, I could see a guy come from a distance with black hair, my heart made little flutters. When he got closer, I realized his hair wasn't black at all, but more like a dirty blonde. A scar ran down his chin and a devilish smile curled on his lips. "Nice to meet you Ms. Banks, I am Chris."

I was hit in the head again and this time I fell limp against Chris' henchman's shoulder.
