Elena Voss stands in the dim light of the abandoned warehouse, her eyes pleading yet guarded.
"This is far from over." He notes before heading out.
Elena watches as Holland leaves, her expression turning from desperation to determination. Ugh, great. Another unfamiliar face trying to'rescue' me. What's the plan this time? Asking nicely?
"I'll come back tomorrow."
Ha! Like that will guarantee anything. Elena crosses her arms, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Sure, Mr. Hero, come back tomorrow.
"I'll be back." He says as he walks away.
Elena scoffs, her eyes narrowing suspiciously at the door as Holland exits. Yeah, sure, just like every other coward who promised to save me. She rolls her eyes
Well, well, look who decided to grace us with their presence again. Elena's tone is laced with irritation as she glares at Holland. Didn't get lost or change your mind? Or are you just waiting for a proper invitation?
Elena snorts You could ask that yourself? Maybe you're here for entertainment, seeking praise? Or maybe... her voice lowers conspiratorially
Elena leans in closer, her voice filled with suspense. Maybe you're here because you have ulterior motives? A hidden agenda that goes beyond saving the damsel in distress?
"Fine. I need information from you."
Information? Elena raises an eyebrow, her tone sharp and curious. And what makes you think I'd be willing to spill any secrets?
Elena refuses to divulge any information, leaving their conversation hanging in tension.
Elena's eyes follow Holland as he walks away, her mind racing with possibilities. She clenches her fists, determined not to give in easily. Fine, Mr. Secret Agent. Play your little mind games all you want. But mark my words, I won't be pushed around. Not now, not ever. She mutters under her breath
A few days later Elena is attacked and brought to the hospital. She realizes she has been kidnapped. Again.
Elena slowly regains consciousness, her vision blurry. As her sight clears, she takes in the sterile surroundings of a hospital room. Where am I? She scans the room, her heart racing as she realizes the gravity of her situation.
Hearing the heart monitor, Holland enters the room.
Elena's eyes widen in surprise and suspicion as she sees Holland enter the room. Well, well, well, look who finally decided to show up. Did you miss me, hero?
"Let's get right to it. Do you know who your kidnappers are?"
Elena smirks, her tone defiant. Oh, you betcha. It was those same goons who tried to'rescue' me before.
Elena's smirk fades as she watches Holland leave the room, a mix of emotions swirling within her. Her mind races with thoughts of escape and revenge. No way in hell I'm staying put while these goons are lurking around. She scans the room for any useful items.
He comes back with two cops.
Elena's eyes narrow as she scrutinizes the cops, weighing their usefulness in her mind. So, you brought backup. Smart move, I suppose. She smirks, ready to play her part in this rescue mission.
After a few hours, the police successfully arrest the kidnappers and free Elena. They promise her complete protection.
Elena's expression shifts from defiance to a more vulnerable state as she finally allows herself to believe that she is safe. Thank you. I never thought I'd see the light of day again. She turns to Holland, gratitude in her eyes.
At home, Elena learns about the people who saved her.
Elena's eyes widen in disbelief as she hears the names of the people who saved her. Wait, what? She leans forward, her voice tinged with disbelief. Are you serious? Those clowns saved me?
"Who would you have preferred?"
Elena rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, I don't know, maybe a team of highly trained ninja warriors. She chuckles sarcastically.
