Carolyn turned down the volume of 80s radio, Duran Duran will have to wait. They had arrived.

Carolyn slowed the car and parked on a side street, the Sat Nav had taken them to an abandoned tin factory. A temporary wire fence surrounded the building, a Sold sign was tied to the front of it.

Carolyn's eyebrows raised "Well Helene may be a psychotic bitch, but she knows where to put her money that's for certain. She'll be turning this place into fancy apartments no doubt."

Villanelle wrinkled her nose disapprovingly

"Well good for her." Villanelle said sarcastically.

" ." Said Carolyn,totally missing Villanelle's point.

"If we're done praising her investment instincts, can we go kill this bitch and save Eve now?!" pushed Villanelle.

Carolyn looked over at Villanelle in the passenger seat, "Now, now Villanelle we need to be calm remember? If we go in guns blazing, something will inevitably go wrong."

Villanelle takes off her seatbelt "But what if they're torturing her in there?!" She says in a panicked shrill.

"They wouldn't do that. They want you to be under their control, the second they hurt eve you will be uncontrolable. They know you. With this threat over you, you will do anything for them. If they hurt or kill Eve, the leash is off and you will be undefeatable as you will have nothing to will be too dangerous for them."

Villanelle breaths and nods as she understands. They pause for a moment as they both look at the fence working out how to gain entry. Carolyn then breaks the silence-

"Plus, the electric supply to the building is bound to be poor so torturing someone with some clamps attached to the mains would be quite ineffective here."

Villanelle slowly turns to Carolyn wide-eyed.

"I can see why you and konstantin hit it off." she joked.

Carolyn's gaze snapped to Villanelles-

"Don't mention that mans name again." Carolyn said firmly.

"Yes, maam." smirked Villanelle.

Carolyn reached over to open her car door

"Right, shall we go shoot the tits off this interfering bitch then?" asks Carolyn.

"Okay" villanelle chuckled excitedly.

They both got out of car, Carolyn pulled out a small pair of wire cutters out of her long coat pocket. Villanelle kept watch while Carolyn snipped the lock.

Villanelle held the gate open for them both to dip through. Already, they seemed to work well in sync together. As they approached a rear 'Staff Only' door, Villanelle thought about all the movies she wanted to watch with Eve, should their first one be a rom-com? Or maybe a horror? That way if Eve was scared Villanelle could hug her?

"Will you focus please?" said Carolyn

"What do you mean?" villanelle blinked

"You had a glazed goopy look on your face. What on earth were you thinking about?" asked Carolyn

Before she could lie, Villanelle jumped backwards as the door was making noises from the inside.

*CLICK* went the handle.

Carolyn pulled Villanelle into the alleyway with her to hide. They flattened their backs against the wall to prevent being seen. The door fully opened with a loud metal creak. Two men in leather jackets and motorbike helmets walked out, they were in mid conversation.

"...nah i'm telling you Tommy i'm retiring i'm serious this time. Kidnapping ladies off the street is not my bag. My uncle has got a Butchers in Tooting, he said he'd give me a job there at the drop of a hat." said one of the men

"So why don't you go then?" said Tommy

"Same reason as you Tommy me ol' son...For fear of being killed by that crazy Helene bitch" said the first man.

"Hey hang on a sec when a man is a bastard he's praised for being strong but a woman is classed as a crazy bitch when she's only just being assertive. It's not fair." said Tommy

"Listen Tommy, i'm as feminist as the next bloke, but when a woman cuts off a blokes head with a petrol powered hedge cutter, that's not being an assertive strong women mate, that's just being a crazy mother-fucker. You better not be getting a crush on her, she'll eat you alive. Colin is still missing you know." said the first man

The mens voices became quieter and quieter as they walked into the distance and drove off.

Carolyn looked at Villanelle and nodded to go towards the staff door. They both ran over and finally entered the building as Carolyn whispered

"2020 is so weird".
