the SEVEN-FIVE project

"Now Seven, is that anyway to greet the person you've come to save?" She said with a giggle.

"It seems to be a typical response when the person you've come to save turns out to be in league with the person you come to save them from, unless it's Stockholm syndrome, in which case you'll get over it."
"Ah Seven, trying to sound more intelligent than you are. It's like this has somehow become a horrible James Bond movie; if we replace the handsome leading man with you that is." Cyrus wrapped his arm around Mary's waist and chuckled.
"All right, is this going to go anywhere or are we going to stay here and insult each other? I'd really rather be chained to the pipe with the goon squad around me than sit here and be berated by the likes of you two." There is nothing I hate more than being insulted by people who know better.
"Fine then, Mary get Ashe and Vlad and have them take the boy here back to the main room."
"You know those two don't like each other, right?" I smirked when Cyrus looked at me rather confusedly. "They both have some kind of feelings for Lily, but she only seems to have feelings for Ashe, which pisses off Vlad and makes the whole working group strained. It's kind of funny when you think about it. All women want is someone who will listen and since Vlad doesn't seem to be able to talk all he can do is listen, but Lily doesn't want him." I started to laugh, but Cyrus slapped me across the face.
One of his rings split my lip and it began to bleed, Mary leaned down and licked to blood off of my lip and chin with great care as if it were a meal to be savored. She then kissed Cyrus, sharing my blood off of her tongue I think. They both smiled at me as Vlad and Ashe came in the room to carry me away.
They opened my restraints and forcibly pulled me off the table. I braced myself on the counter next to me until I got my legs stable and felt confident enough to walk. Vlad blindfolded me and put my hand on his shoulder as they led me back to the main room. I suppose they didn't want me to know my way around or what all was going on in their building.
When we got to the main room Vlad shoved my hand off his shoulder and pulled the blindfold off of my head rather forcefully. Ashe shoved me into the room and pointed at the pipe I was attached to previously. I shook my head, calmly walked over to it and sat down; arms ready to be chained up again. Ashe looked at me and pushed my hands down, no chains this time I suppose.
Just then Cyrus' voice boomed from wherever it comes from, "As a show of good faith of some sort, you are not going to be chained up, but you can not leave this room without one of my guards. The girl will be released as well."
"Well gee Cy, that's mighty nice of you." I said, sarcasm dripping from my words.
"I am nothing if not hospitable." He replied. The sarcasm was either over his head or he ignored it completely.
