Ravenclaw Tavern

Mark

I nod, "No problem. Tell me if you need anything else."

Selena

I sigh, nodding, "Okay," I bring my hand to my forehead, glad the fever is lowering.

Mark

To give her some space, I head to the couch and sit down.

Selena

He goes to the couch and I lay back down, closing my eyes for a second.

Mark

I sigh and look at the ceiling, wondering what to do.

Selena

Getting a text, I swallow and stand, sighing, "I'm heading downstairs."

Mark

I nod and stay where I am, "I'll be here."

Selena

Feeling better, or atleast a little better, I head downstairs. I see my father and stop when I see him, confused.

I swear that text was from V.

Shaking my head out, he tells me to sit at a table across from him. I slowly nod, suspicious before doing as he says.

"Remember that mission you went on with Mark?" He asks, "To Cryo?"

I nod, faint memories of hurt, love, and laughs coming back into my head, but don't say anything else.

"Are you...sure, you found the Temple Of Gems?" He asks.

I study him, taken aback by this, "Y-You don't think we did?" I ask.

He doesn't trust me.

"Get him down here. Now," He orders. I hesitate before taking out my phone, texting Mark to come down.

Mark

Selena texts me and I head downstairs, freezing when i see her seated across from her father. Composing myself, I slowly take the seat beside her, "Uh...hello, boss. What's up?"

Selena

My dad studies Mark before looking at the both of us, "What part of Egypt did you start in? In the mission?"

I think for a second, "Cairo," I answer, "Somewhere around there."

He nods, "I got reports from Cryo that he never saw you at Cairo," He says, "He was there waiting. I told you to go to him for information."

Confused, I sit up a little, "But...We did. I swear, we did."

"He didn't say you did, Selena," He snaps.

Raising an eyebrow, I cross my arms, "What are you acusing us of?"

"I don't think you really found it," He sighs, "Even with the amount of money we got, there's no way the temple was worth so little."

Mark

I study Selena's father, arms crossed, "We found it, I swear on my mother's grave. It collapsed before we could get any more though. We were constantly chased, boss. There were people on our tails the whole time."

Selena

"Let's do a little quiz then," He crosses his arms.

Are you kidding me.

"Why don't you believe us?" I ask.

"'Cause you're Selena...and Mark," He simply says.

"Go on with the trivia then," I shrug, "I bet I'll ace every single question."

He sighs, "If you 'supposedly' met up with Cryo, what amount of money did he give you to start with?" He asks.

I bite my lip, thinking, "Around...fifty thousand," I swallow.

He shakes his head, "Fourty thousand."

"I was close," I sigh, "I can't remember every single detail."

He just shakes his head and looks at Mark, "Do you have any proof?"

Mark

I stare at him in disbelief, "Are you kidding me? We got you your money. Everything we stole was given to you. We have nothing left of it."

Selena

"Not all of it," He says, annoyed, "And don't give me additude."

I shake my head, having a huge headache. I mumble something under my breath and my father hears it, looking at me with an eyebrow raised, "What did you just say?"

I swallow, glancing up at him,"I quit."

He's taken aback by this and shakes his head, "Y-you can't do that, Sel."

I nod, " I have the right to. So I quit."

"No, you're not," He orders, still shaking his head.

I don't say anything more and stand, taking my contract from my back pocket and ripping it up, "Done."

He stares at me, "Sel, c'mon..."

Mark

I watch Selena rip up her contract and know that I could never do that...without lethal consequence. I stand with her and watch the two.
