Hope still reflected on the words that were released by his boss, totally intrigued by what she had heard, squeezing the leaves she had just received in his hands and analyzed the proposal. She didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but it was definitely an opportunity. Yet, I wasn't able to tell your confused feelings. But it was a good chance. Or not.How would you explain that you were unsure about this to your boss?“You're telling me that… that Castiel Reed is open to interviews?” Hope asked himself to struggle to make his voice come out without noise.“Yes, I’m sorry. And that's perfect, we'll be the first to have an interview directly with him” Armin said with a smile that grew more and more “You've always been very good with questions and especially know how to improvise, I know you'll do well. I'm with you, Hope.”How would get away with it? There was no denying anything like that, they were counting on her.From a young time, Hope was accustomed to being called a

“You commented on revenge” Hope changed the subject, not wanting to get lost. “What would it be?”Castiel grinned, leaning back on the table as he raised his wrists close to her face, letting his elbows rest against the table. The criminal came close, very close to the journalist's face, who froze with the sudden approach, unable to move a muscle.He laughed some more, laughing out of context, and walked away, his eyes gleaming in Hope's direction. The handcuffs failed, and he pointed at Hope with one of his forefingers, forming a gun with his hand right after, also using his middle finger.Hope looked down at Castiel's hand, finding the year he was born tattooed on his fingers. She remained expressionless, her eyes falsely cold.“If I tell you… I'll have to kill you,” he whispered.“And would you use your fingers?” Hope had to make fun of his.“Intelligent.” He returned to normal, laughing, convinced that “I could strangle you.”“I thought I was dealing with a drug dealer, not a psyc

“Hope, how did you do that? It's impossible to talk to him, and I almost called to tell you not to come, and...it happens” Armin ran a hand through his hair nervously, and rightly. It was midnight, by this time he should have been in his bed, asleep. However, he was at the station with two lawyers trying to clean up her employee and her friend.“I definitely didn't know anything, and even if I wanted to, how would I hold it him? It was impossible! I'm the victim of this story!” Hope still felt the adrenaline in his body, his hands were cold. Her jaw hurt so much her repeated the same words, was sitting in the same interrogation room as her was when interviewed Castiel over two hours ago.And this time, it was Hope who had handcuffs around his wrists.“You kissed him, Hope.” Armin said, deadpan and accusatory.“He was in front of me and with a gun!” The journalist slammed her chained hands against the metal table, sounding a dry echo “And he kissed me!”“I'm doing what I can, but the b

“How did you find me?” Castiel looked nervously at the very short girl still in front of him with furious eyes, her face was red, and she was panting, because it looked like she ran a marathon. His black clothes, highlighting his extremely white skin, were wrinkled, and had a little blood staining the shirt on the left shoulder.“What if the police don't think that you, like me, just one of your one-night stands would find him?” She walked straight through his arms, pushing him roughly over her shoulder so she could enter the small apartment Reed used to hide. “You don't know how many times I've had to fight to get here! And if my father dreams that I'm in front of you right now, he'll throw this thing up and hunt you down in hell!”The girl went around the room and headed towards the corridors, opening the doors of the two bedrooms and the bathroom, checking if there was anyone else there, but she found only a bunch of organized suitcases and she knew what they contained, money, drug

Chains

Hope woke up slowly, her head hurt a lot and felt dizzy. It took her to feel that her body was suspended by her wrists that were wrapped in a cloth, she pulled her arms and heard a clinking of chains and realized she was exhausted, powerless. He felt that his body weighed ten times more than he remembered, the burning of the open cuts recently shook his entire skin.When she regained her senses and opened her eyes only what she found was complete darkness, the blindfold on her face and the situation in which she was acclaimed her reality, she swallowed the cry and squirmed, feeling that the skin surrounding his wrists was in living flesh from trying to free itself in vain. It couldn’t be more pathetic; he thought.She, who never submitted to breaking rules and laws, was now being tortured because according to her kidnappers, Hope was part of Castiel’s team who was infiltrated in the newspaper to cover up her slips—the girl laughed in indignation, That’s what she gets for kissing a mob
