Heavy. Final. They guided me past the main ward, moving deliberately past the bustling nurses' station, down a narrow administrative corridor lined with glass-walled rooms and securely locked doors.

Each step echoed in the sterile silence, amplifying the tension that hung in the air. The taller of the two suits halted abruptly, his fingers dancing over a keypad as he punched in a code. With a mechanical whir, the door to a private consultation room swung open. The room was small, devoid of warmth-sterile and clinical. Four rigid chairs surrounded a metal table that was bolted to the floor, while a window shrouded in blinds offered no glimpse of the outside world. A camera in the corner hummed softly, its lens unblinking and watchful.

The suits strode in with an air of ownership, as if they were the ones who had crafted this sterile environment. I followed, my jaw clenched tightly, my breath measured, even though a wave of heat pulsed at the base of my skull, threatening to boil over. The door clicked shut behind us, the sound sharp and final, reverberating in the confined space.

The shorter one leaned casually against the far wall, arms crossed over his chest, while the taller one settled into a chair directly across from me, smoothing his tie as if preparing for a performance review rather than a negotiation steeped in blood and betrayal. "You do realize," he began, his tone cool and detached, "that there were far simpler methods to request a meeting?" I remained silent, my resolve hardening. His eyes narrowed as he leveled a pointed look at me.

"Breaking your own nose for attention, storming through the medical wing drenched in blood, and having one of your nurse toys call our office-was that really necessary?" "I didn't storm anything," I retorted, my voice low and steady as I took a seat opposite him. "I walked." The corners of his lips twitched, barely concealing a smirk. "You clearly walk like a bull in a china shop, Mr. Santorelli." A soft snort escaped the shorter one, a sound laced with amusement. "We told you last night that we would bring Newman to you when we were ready.

Not a second sooner." I leaned forward, elbows digging into my knees, the urgency of the situation pressing down on me. "And I'm telling you now," I growled, my voice low and dangerous, "that I'm ready to get the job done." The two men exchanged a glance, the kind that spoke volumes-amusement mingled with condescension. But I was not here for their entertainment. The taller one steepled his fingers, his expression shifting to one of mild curiosity. "Why the sudden urgency?" "You know why," I shot back, frustration bubbling beneath the surface. "The new Mix-Up bullshit.

You're splitting everyone up. Do you honestly think I'll let you hand Margot off to some psycho for a week?" "Ah, this is about Miss Belle," he corrected with a casual tone, as if discussing the weather. "A little pretty one you have... but I'm afraid we must shuffle everyone. There's not much we can do about that, Coban." "No," I snapped, my voice firm and unwavering. "She doesn't leave my cell." I let that statement hang in the air, heavy with meaning. Because I meant every word. I'd tear this place apart before I allowed them to drag her into some stranger's cell.

The shorter suit pushed off the wall and approached the table, leaning forward with his knuckles pressed against the cold metal surface. "Do not mistake your role here, Mr. Santorelli. You are still a participant who must be seen as complying with the experiment. We can only assist you so much before questions are raised..." "But for your sake," I interjected, my voice low and lethal, "I decide whether Newman breathes or not." The room fell into a thick silence. Sharp. Stifling. The taller suit cleared his throat, but the smile had vanished from his face.

"You kill Newman when we say, not when you want to. That was the deal we discussed." "No," I countered, my voice steady. "The deal was that I'd do it to protect the project's image in exchange for my terms being met... you two need me a whole lot more than I need you right now." The shorter one sighed, a sound filled with exasperation. "So you've thought about your terms? Enlighten us, and we will see what can be done." I leaned back in my chair, letting my head tilt slightly as I wiped a trace of blood from my lip with my thumb, the metallic taste lingering.

"You want Newman dead," I said, my voice gravelly, each word slow and deliberate. "You want it to look like inmate retaliation. Clean. Quiet. Convenient." "That was the general idea," he replied with a nonchalant shrug. "Then bring him to me during the Mix-Up tonight," I demanded, my tone firm. "Bring him to me today, and I'll handle it." The shorter suit crossed his arms again, a look of impatience creeping into his demeanor. "You're being impatient, Santorelli." In a sudden burst of frustration, I slammed my fist against the metal table, the impact causing the camera to rattle ominously.

The guards outside jumped at the sound, their attention drawn to the commotion. Both suits froze, their expressions shifting from amusement to wariness. My voice dropped to a deadly whisper, each word laced with menace. "If you want this done right, then you'll listen and do as I say..." Silence enveloped the room, thick and suffocating. No one breathed. Not even me. A heartbeat later, I leaned forward again, locking my gaze onto theirs, unyielding. "You honor your end," I said with conviction.

"And I'll kill Newman exactly how you want." "And what exactly," the shorter suit asked, his tone dripping with skepticism, "is 'our end' to you?" Without a moment's hesitation, I replied. "No Mix-Up for my girl." The taller suit raised an eyebrow, skepticism etched across his features. "But Coban, it simply won't look good for you to be the only one not giving up your female for the challenge..." "Then instead," I countered, my voice steely and resolute, "you'll let me choose where she goes..." A long, slow inhale filled the room, the tension palpable.

My backup plan was to have her paired with Leo at least; he wasn't the worst option. I knew he wouldn't touch her, and I could have Cara for the week to look out for her-win-win. I could already envision how it would appear to the higher-ups if I didn't agree to Margot being swapped, so perhaps Leo was the only way around this... The taller suit's jaw tightened imperceptibly, while the shorter one scrutinized me with a calculating gaze that I had grown all too familiar with in the presence of men like them.

The taller suit's jaw ticked, just barely, but it was enough to signal that I had struck a nerve. A weak spot. A possibility. They weren't outright rejecting the idea... They were simply processing it. Good. The shorter suit straightened up, pushing away from the table, pacing a slow line behind his partner with the same predatory calm I had witnessed last night. "Let me get this straight," he said, clasping his hands behind his back. "You want to choose where Miss Belle goes during the Mix-Up?" "Yes," I replied without hesitation. "And you'd choose...?" he pressed, his curiosity piqued.

"Someone I trust," I said carefully, weighing my words. "Someone who won't touch her. Someone who won't let anything happen to her." The taller suit smirked, as if he could see right through my vague assurances. "The friend you frequently visit the gym with, I presume?" My eye twitched at the implication. They had been watching me... Of course they had. They observed everything. That was their job. "... Yeah." I finally muttered, my voice low. "Leo. I want him to take Margot, and I want Cara for the week.

It's the only way I'll follow through with killing Newman..." I left no room in my tone for argument; it was my way or the highway. They knew no one else in this place could execute their demands as seamlessly as I could... The suits exchanged a slow, knowing glance before eventually nodding at one another, exhaling as if a weight had been lifted. "Okay, Coban," the shorter one said, his voice steady. "We'll ensure Margot is paired with Leo, and Leo's girl will be with you for the week... will that be all?" He trailed off, a brow raised, as if waiting for more. Hmm...

I sensed I could squeeze more from them... Conclusion In that sterile room, a shift had occurred, one that was palpable in the air as the suits reluctantly acquiesced to my demands. The stakes had never felt higher, and yet, amidst the tension and the looming threat of violence, I had carved out a small victory. Margot's safety was now tethered to my will, and the thought of her being paired with someone I trusted-someone who would protect her-brought a flicker of hope amid the darkness that surrounded us.

I could feel the weight of their compliance, a fragile truce forged in the fires of desperation and determination. I was no longer just a pawn in their game; I had become a player, and for the first time, I held a semblance of control over my fate and hers. Yet, the victory was bittersweet. The reality of what I was agreeing to-the act of killing Newman-loomed over me like a storm cloud, casting shadows on the fleeting sense of triumph. I had traded one form of captivity for another, my soul inching closer to the abyss with each calculated decision I made.
