The Talk
Rose looked down. The man was no longer in one piece. She had stabbed him so much, he was in tatters. His body was everywhere. Her knees gave out. Rose sunk to the floor, crying. "EJ. What do I do?" EJ shook his head. "What's going on?" Rose stopped crying. "Everything. Offenderman keeps threatening me. I can't let him see me scared. Jane wants me to keep a secret." EJ stopped her. "Tell me. I won't tell anyone." She shook her head. "I promised." EJ took grabbed her face. "Yet Jane didn't know how much you were under stress." Rose told him the secret, and many other things. EJ grabbed her."You are under a lot of stress." She nodded, crying again. "It's okay. I'm here for you. You can't keep this all to yourself. I'm here for you." She stopped crying. EJ looked down at her, and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Did I mention you look pretty when you cry?" Rose blushed. "Stop it!" EJ nodded. "But it's true!" Rose took his mask. She kissed him. "Thank you." She looked at the hostages. "Shh." Rose put her finger to her lips. "Your next..." And the two walked out.
Broken and Toby were on the couch, watching TV. Broken saw EJ. "We heard crying. Everything alright?" EJ nodded. "Rose has a lot on her mind right now. She's going to get some rest. See you tomorrow!" He waved. Broken came over and hugged Rose. "It's okay, Rose." She squeezed her. Then, she walked away. EJ nodded. "See ya, Toby!" Toby waved. Broken sat next to him, and the last thing she saw was their small kiss. EJ lifted Rose and brought her into bed. "Wha-?" EJ quieted her. "Shh."
Rose silenced, and EJ placed her in the middle of the bed. He jumped over her, and wrapped his arms around her. He remembered her cape, and took it off. "There." She ripped the rest of the cape off. He kissed her forehead. She snuggled close to him. "The bed smells like sweat." EJ laughed. He took his mask off, and kissed her again. "Not tonight." Rose commented. EJ nodded. "Okay." She was hugging him tightly to her, and she could feel his heart pumping.
She was close to his chest, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep. When she woke up, EJ was getting up. He had his finger to his lips. Something was wrong. She held his wrist, and posted to the floor. There was a trap. If he stepped, he would be lifted up into the air. He stepped back. "Offenderman." He whispered.
