"Shit indeed," I nodded and looked back at the girl. "We good?" I said and held my hand out. "I was having a pretty shit day, I had just been kidnapped, tied up in the back of a van, been hit on the head countless times, had a wound stitched up and I also was coughing up blood because of an infection I had been given. So, I'm sorry about making your first day at the Agency a bit awkward."
The girl looked at me with wide eyes still, but slowly reached out and shook my head.
"Thank god, thought you were going to leave me hanging," I said. "That would've been awkward."
"I'm Penny," the girl said quietly.
"Pleasure," I nodded. "Daisy."
"We know," Penny said and I rolled my eyes.
"Wonderful," I murmured as the lift dinged and the doors opened.
"Daisy," Blake said, smirking and I rolled my eyes as he walked into the lift.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as Penny and the guy moved over as Blake stood next to me.
"Lovely to see you too, Dais," Blake said sarcastically and wrapped his arm round my shoulder. "I've got to speak to Rob after you."
"About?"
"None of your concern," Blake shrugged.
I frowned. "Why so secretive?"
"You'll find out soon," Blake said and smirked. "Don't worry your pretty little head about it."
I rolled my eyes and the lift doors opened again and Penny and the guy walked out.
"Daisy, do you know what I've always wanted to do," Blake said as the doors shut.
"What?"
I gasped in shock when Blake slammed me up against the wall and crashed his lips to mine. "This is unexpected," I murmured and Blake smirked, kissing me again.
I opened my mouth and Blake tangled his fingers in my hair.
"If you mess up my hair I will kill you," I warned.
"Stop talking and let me kiss you," Blake chuckled and I smiled, letting him do so.
As soon as the ding was heard Blake and I ripped away from each other and both tried to hide our rapid breathing as the door opened. One of Rob's assistants was waiting for the lift and I hurriedly walked out, flattening my hair as I did. Blake coughed and followed and I prayed that the assistant didn't notice what was going on.
Rob would kill Blake.
Blake laughed from behind me and I rolled my eyes, stopping outside Rob's office. "Wait... How comes I had to ride with bloody Eli if you were driving to the Agency today?"
Blake raised his eyebrows at me and sat down on a chair outside the office. "I thought you loved Eli, I wanted to give you and him some quality time together."
"You're an ass."
Blake smiled. "Daddy's waiting for you. Better not keep him waiting."
I stuck my middle finger up at Blake and then walked into Rob's office. "Morning, daddy dear," I called and slumped down in the chair opposite him.
"Daisy, how are you feeling?" Rob asked.
"On top of the world."
"Well, I'm glad to say that your punishment is now over," Rob said. "You've behaved these past few weeks. However, if you slip up once I will have no problem sending you to the cells."
"Me?" I gasped. "Misbehave."
"James called me just now," Rob said and crossed his arms over his chest. "He informed me of your little rant."
I rolled my eyes. "Of course."
"And because of that the bracelet on your wrist will remain on," Rob said. "I was going to take it off, but it's obvious you still can't be trusted."
"You're telling me that you thought I could be trusted after I ran away and you kidnapped me and brought me back?" I said and shook my head. "Smart."
"I thought you might've realised that you won't get away, no matter what you do," Rob said. "But intellect wasn't always your strong point."
"Lovely," I scoffed.
"So, your car will be returned to you within the next few weeks," Rob said. "You are free to go where you please, however if you want to leave town you will have to clear it with me."
"Right," I nodded and made quotation marks with my hands. "Freedom."
"I also want you to help run a weekly training session for our newest recruits," Rob said. "Every Tuesday, 9am."
"I'd rather sleep."
"You'll do it."
"Who else is running it?" I asked.
"Eli does it one week Blake does it the other."
"For christs sake," I sighed. "Why can't someone else do it?"
"I need someone else who can handle themselves with them," Rob said. "They are some of the best we have here, but so are you. I need someone who won't be floored within two seconds during a demonstration."
"Blake can floor me pretty quickly," I muttered and scowled at the floor, not wanting to admit it.
"Blake knows you. He trained you," Rob pointed out. "He knows every move you're going to make before you make it."
"I don't have a choice do I?"
"Not at all."
"Can't wait," I said sarcastically.
"Great, so now that's cleared up..." Rob looked to the large windows that looked out of his office and waved to Blake who stood up and walked in.
"Rob," Blake nodded. "All set?"
"All set," Rob confirmed and I frowned when Blake looked to me, a sly smirk on his lips.
"What's going on?" I said cautiously as Blake took a step towards me.
"Nothing," Blake said and I raised my eyebrow when I spotted the distinct bulge of handcuffs in his pocket.
I immediately shot out of my seat and narrowed my eyes at Blake. "Don't come near me."
"Let's just make this easy," Blake said and took the handcuffs out of his pocket. "You know I'm going to win, so just give me your hands."
"In your dreams," I scoffed and glanced at Rob. "What the hell is going on?"
"Training exercise," Rob shrugged and I gasped in surprise when Blake ran at me. I dived out of the way and span round to face him, holding my arms up.
"Don't be an ass," I said to Blake and deflected a punch.
"You know I'm going to win," Blake said and I scowled when he moved and I punched him on his shoulder which hurt my hand more than his shoulder.
I was good, I was one of the best fighters, but Rob was right. Blake knew me. He pretty much taught me everything I knew.
He would always win in a fight.
I hissed in pain when Blake punched me square in the face and I was too slow to move out of the way so he managed to kick me on my ribs.
"Jesus!" I gasped and Blake then grabbed my hair and twisted it round his fist, yanking me towards him. "Get off, you shit!" I yelled and threw my elbow back, hitting him in the face.
Suddenly something was pressed to my side and I gasped in pain as an electric current ran through me, making my body spasm and fall to the floor. I groaned and tried to push myself up, but my arms wouldn't do as I wanted.
Blake pocketed the taser and I sighed in relief when I could move my arms again, but I was too slow to fight against Blake as he grabbed my arms and handcuffed them behind my back.
I winced and glared at the ground when I realised that they were not your normal handcuffs. These were rimmed with small spikes that dug painfully into your skin so you couldn't even move your fingers without feeling pain.
"You ass," I groaned, still recovering from the taser.
Blake chuckled and yanked me up from the ground, pausing to tighten the cuffs around my wrists.
"You know what you're doing?" Rob asked.
"Yep, see you, Rob," Blake said.
"Good luck," Rob said and I glared at him as Blake half dragged and half carried me out of the room.
"What the fuck is going on?" I demanded, struggling weakly as I fought the affects of the taser that luckily weren't lasting long. The shock was only strong enough so I didn't fight while Blake handcuffed me.
"Training exercise," Blake said simply.
"Does it require being handcuffed!" I growled and dug my feet into the ground as we neared the lift. "Get off me, Blake!"
"It's not for you, we just need you for it," Blake said and pressed the button for the lift. "And yes, you do need to be handcuffed."
"This is insane!" I exclaimed and Blake roughly shoved me into the lift, hitting the button that closed the doors before I could get out. "Un cuff me, Blake."
"No."
"Un cuff me!" I demanded and launched a kick to his head, but because of my hands behind my back it was weak and badly aimed and Blake easily dodged it. He grabbed my ankle and smirked at me as he flipped me over, sending me flying to the floor.
I groaned as I landed face down and Blake quickly dug his knee into the small of my back and held the back of my neck firmly, stopping me from moving.
"You never learn," Blake chuckled and I struggled pointlessly under his weight.
"What the fuck is going on?" I hissed.
"Have some patience," Blake tutted. "You'll find out soon."
The lift dinged and I heard the doors open.
"Don't mind us," Blake said and I winced when he grabbed my wrists, pressing the cuffs further into my skin, and yanked me up from the ground. There were a bunch of few curious agents waiting for the lift and I glared at them. "Training exercise," Blake explained and I took this opportunity while he was distracted to throw my head back, hitting Blake in the face.
I ran forward and barged past the agents, hoping my speed would help me. I was faster than Blake, but my cuffed hands would hinder me.
I frowned when I heard shouting and I glanced to the side and saw Eli being dragged through the ground floor of the Agency by Adam and Max. Eli's hands were cuffed like mine and he was putting up a hell of a fight.
Eli and I caught eyes just as I was grabbed and lifted up from the ground. "Blake!" I yelled and I groaned when Blake threw me over his shoulder, slapping my ass as he did. "Put me down!" I shouted and wriggled around like a me
