Chapter 1: Fear the Shadows.

He watch her from his seat by the window, her light blond hair that was almost white shined like gold in the summer sun. She wore a polite smile that reached from ear to ear as she served the customers at the counter of the small bakery. With a slim body with slight curves and sea green eyes she was defiantly considered beautiful but he still couldn’t see the appeal.

He looked down at the picture in his hand and back up at her.

Yep, this was the one, no doubt about it. Now how do I get her out of here without making too much of a scene and gaining too much attention?

He looked around trying to look for a diversion but came up with nothing.

The bell above the door sounded catching his attention, making him look up. He watched as the big tall muscular blond walked past the tables and took a seat across from him.

“So is that her” the blond man said gesturing to the girl.

“Yes. Did you do what I asked you Conner?” he said getting straight to the point. He hated when people dawdled.

“Of course. So how are you going to get her out of here?”

“I don’t know”

“Need help?”

“No, I want you to go underground and deal with Marco, I don’t want to be dragging her around the country side kicking and screaming.” Even though that’s more than likely exactly what’s going to happen knowing my luck.

“And what if he doesn’t cooperate?”

“Make him” He commanded through clenched teeth.

“I know you may have trouble believing this Logan but not everyone does what I tell them to and if I go in there trigger happy we’re only going to have bigger problems and I’ll probably be dead.”

He sighed running his hands through his jet black hair.

He was right, if Marco doesn’t listen then all hell will break loss and the underground will become a battle ground.

“If you can’t convince him to do what his told then call me and I’ll make him.”

There that settled it.

Conner nodded in understanding before turning back to the girl at the counter, she truly was as beautiful as he had heard but he also knew that Logan wasn’t exactly the best person for bringing her back.

What was Peter thinking giving Logan this task, he will more than likely kill her and say she went sleep walking off a cliff?

“Why are you still here?” Logan asked getting impatient with Conner.

“Relax, I’m leaving. Just make sure you get her there in one piece”

“Why does everyone keep saying that?”

“Because we know what you’re like and you’re more likely to kill her then bring her back alive”

“Gee thanks for the confidence.”

“Tell me you weren’t planning to knock her out.”

Logan stared at him narrowing his jet black eyes.

Damn it! He’s on to me. It was the only plan I had come up with to get her back without her kicking and screaming and complaining all of the way there. Maybe if I just put a bag over her head and gag her, yeah that could work too.
