The Scorpions returned to their hideout all bloody especially Gandesblood. She mostly used her dagger than her pistol.
"That was great"She said running her bloody hands through her short messy jaggered black hair.
"Boss u need a bath"Falcon said holding his injured arm.
"And a stitch"Claw said referring to the deep wound from her right shoulder to her back in a slanting manner.
"Yh yh"she muttered finally feeling the pain course through her.
She headed to her room and stripped.
She took a change of clothes, and some alcohol too before going into the bathroom where the sound of water and groaning was heard later.
She came out of the bathroom in a new set of clothes but she needed to be stitched.
'knock''knock'
"Boss, the doctor's here"Falcon's voice came from the other side.
"Thank goodness"she muttered and replied,"I'll be down in a minute".

Griffin got to the hotel arranged for him till he could get his own place and slumped on the bed.
Today was hectic,he had reorganized everything,he was getting a headache if not worse.
'ping'
His phone lightened up and he picked it up and looked at it. It was from an unknown number.
Unknown: I'm back, come pick me up at the airport tomorrow. Ciao 😘
He frowned deeply realizing who it was from and tossed his phone aside getting up.
He got into the bathroom, stripped and washed up, washing the dust out of his skin.
He finished up,got dressed in a pair of pants not bothering to put on pants and stood at the patio looking at the night sky filled with twinkling lights,the cool evening breeze hit him like feather touches,the crickets with their usual song. Yep,it was a peaceful night for him but somewhere else the same couldn't be said.

'CRASH!'
A very expensive glass collided with the wall shattering into unmendable pieces.
"That bitch!, how dare she?!!"Ivy yelled angrily. Her room was a mess with broken pieces everywhere.
"Mistress calm down"her personal maid said in fear noticing how angry she looked.
"Calm down?!,did you f*cking say I should CALM DOWN?!!"she asked turning her gaze to her.
The girl gulped lowering her head.
Ivy smirked and snapped her fingers,
"I'm in need of entertainment",she turned to two bulky men,"grab her and follow me"
"Mistress please, I won't do it again"the girl pleaded but it all fell on deaf ears as she was dragged into a room and her screams soon followed suit.

Gandesblood looked at the sky as she sat on the ground at the backside of the house-like hideout with a glass of pineapple juice in her hand as she gradually drank from it.
'ring~ring'
Her phone rang in her shorts pocket and she pulled it out not bothering to look at the caller's ID.
"Hello?"
:"..."
The person on the other side didn't say a word and she was about to hang up when she heard.
:"Princesa [princess]"
She froze hearing that voice,that thick hoarse voice that haunted her for years till she nearly lost her sanity,the only voice that could make her powerless and freeze like a popsicle.
She was completely speechless, unable to utter a word as her body shook not from the cold of the wind.
:"How are you mi pequeño monstrous?[my little monster]"
She regained her composure and frowned.
"What do you want?"
She asked,her voice holding back the anger she felt.
:"Ah, there's that Feisty voice I've been waiting for. When are you coming back, your dear papá misses you Diosa?"
"I'm never coming back!. Nunca!,y no a un bastardo como tú! [Never!,and not to a bastard like u!]"she yelled and hung up.
She threw the glass away and screamed pulling on her hair.
"Nunca!,Nunca volveré allí!! [Never!, I'm never going back there !]"she yelled panting heavily.
She layed on the grass and looked up at the sky still panting, arms and legs stretched out as she took deep breaths trying to calm herself down.
"Never"

Griffin woke up still the sound of his phone ringing repeatedly nearly driving him nuts.
He picked it up seeing it was Bruce.
"What?!"he snapped.
"She's here"
He calmed down and his facial expression turned to one of annoyance.
"Get the car ready".
Fifteen minutes later,he was ready and came outside to see Bruce waiting for him by the car and he joined him.
"When did she arrive?"
"An hour ago"Bruce replied as he stared the car and drove off heading for the airport.
The drive went smoothly until they came across a terrible traffic jam.
"You're kidding me"Bruce muttered frustrated.
"What's the matter?"Griffin asked from the back seat with his eyes closed.
"Traffic, I'll check What's going on"Bruce said and stepped out of the car only to narrowly miss a shard of glass that came flying his way.
"The butt!"he exclaimed and got back into the car.
"It's a fight,a messy one judging by how I missed a shard of broken glass"he said.
Griffin opened his eyes and frowned,
"I don't have time for this".
He got out of the car and went straight to the front to see the bloody fight.
"U f*cking coward!"a guy yelled throwing a punch at the other.
Gandesblood sat in her jeep staring at them as they fought.
"That's a weak punch for a guy your size"she said loud enough for him to hear.
"So you're the cause of this mess"Griffin asked making his presence known.
"And who the f*ck are u?"Diosa/Gandesblood asked taking off her sunglasses.
"I should ask the same about u"
"That's classified,now run along pretty boy before your shirt gets ruined"she said shoo-in him off.
"Hmph,trash"he muttered
"What did you just call me?"Diosa asked staring at him.
"What u deserved to be called u bi-"
'Bang!'
She shot him without looking at him, right on the forehead,her gaze still on Griffin who now backed her walking away.
Diosa frowned and turned to her men.
"Vamos [let's go]"
The gang got in the Jeep and their motorbikes and left the premises but her mind wandered towards Griffin and his cold emerald green eyes.
Griffin got back to the car and it began to move.
"What happened?"Bruce asked noticing the clear in traffic.
"Best forgotten"he replied and closed his eyes.
"Ok, topic closed"Bruce said and focused on his driving till they reached the airport.
As soon as they came out,they both heard
"Griffikins!"...
