Disclaimer: Totally Spies does not belong to me….*seethes quietly*
7:30 pm - W.O.O.H.P Headquarters, Sam's Office
A gasp was emitted from her throat as she felt him pin her harder on the cold floor, making no move to release her anytime soon. A smirk was set on his face because of how speechless she had gone since he had started touching her. She wasn't insulting him or yelling at him or even trying to and that let him know that he dominated her just like he should.
"What's the matter?.." he whispered tauntingly into her left ear before biting it softly. "Cat got your tongue?" Sam only moaned in response feeling her self-control melt away with every forceful kiss that he gave her.
As much as she hated to admit it, Scam was really good at this. His kisses left her weak and vulnerable and she felt herself begging for more despite knowing somewhere in the back of her mind that this was wrong and she should scream for him to stop. "But he won't listen to me" she reasoned with herself, deciding that she had no choice but to give in. Scam kissed his way down her neck, biting near a vein and feeling her shiver.
He stopped when he realized it had been a shiver of pleasure and enjoyment and not of terror and pain. She wasn't supposed to be enjoying herself. Stopping he raised his head and looked at her face when she opened her eyes staring at him in a trance. Being this close he saw the darkness in her eyes for what it was and he knew this had gone too far. He had only done this to teach her a lesson and nothing more and he was going to make that really clear.
Bending his head down so that his nose was brushing against hers he stared into her eyes before letting his lips brush hers just barely, giving her the impression he was going to kiss her again. Scam frowned when he felt her lips tremble against his as if she was waiting for the kiss while she closed her eyes. Glaring he spoke against her lips in an icy tone. "Like I'd ever want to kiss you again" he whispered making her snap her eyes open in shock to watch him pull away from her and stand up.
Sam sat up breathlessly as she watched him unsure of what he was up to now. She watched him run a hand through his hair before he faced her with nothing but hatred and anger on his features showing her just how much he hated her. Giving her a murderous glare he took a step closer to her. "You know what?…" he said angrily making her gulp. "I'd rather go to jail than work with you" he spat before simply walking out of her office and slamming the door on the way out leaving behind a confused redhead that was too busy controlling her heartbeat to realize she should run after him.
8:00 pm - W.O.O.H.P. Headquarters, Hallway
Sam sighed as she dragged her feet along the darkened hall. She couldn't stop blaming herself for what had happened. Despite the fact that she couldn't trust Scam it was still her fault for letting things go this far. She needed his help, he didn't need her and now because of her stupidity she had no idea where Scam had gone to after the incident in her office.
She winced slightly when she felt her neck tingling at the side where his teeth had left angry marks for everyone to see and she couldn't help but blush when she thought about what he had just done to her. She had been so sure he was going to go on and finish but he hadn't. He had simply toyed with her to punish her and show her that he was still in control still she had never been that intimate with a man before and it bothered her that this had happened with Scam.
But that was the least of her concerns right now as she searched for him, wondering where he had ran off to. "What if he escaped? What if he's planning to attack W.O.O.H.P. right now?" her mind raged as she walked knowing Scam was not the type of guy to mess with and she had done just that. The fact that none of the guards had seen him leave the building and that she couldn't find him anywhere proved she was in trouble.
Had she lost her chance at gaining his valuable help for W.O.O.H.P.? All because she had been too busy treating him like a criminal that couldn't be trusted instead of someone that deserved a little more respect?
"I'll never forgive myself if he changes his mind about helping" she whispered to herself knowing she wanted, no desperately needed his help. W.O.O.H.P. would collapse without him not to mention if he was going to attack W.O.O.H.P. then there was no way it would stand. She just wasn't ready to defend W.O.O.H.P. against Tim Scam, one of the best criminal masterminds she had ever known yet.
"Where could he be?" She thought trying to figure out where he might have disappeared to. She was so deep in thought that she didn't see Britney walk right up to her until she spoke. "Sam?" The redhead looked up and sighed when she saw Britney. After all Britney had told her she had gone too far when she accused Scam of trying to get her killed, why hadn't she just listened to her? Things would have been so different if she had.
"I lost Scam" she said simply making Britney raise an eyebrow in confusion and Sam knew she was wondering what she meant by that. Sam sighed. "I told him to sign contract papers and then I.." she took a deep breath. "I pushed him too far and we had a fight" she said leaving out the lengthy activity that had taken place in her office, behind closed doors that couldn't really be described as a fight. In fact she had no idea how to describe it.
"Oh God Sam. I told you not to do that" Britney said sadly and Sam felt herself glare at the fact that somehow Britney had known Scam wouldn't be able to take it when she pushed his buttons and she had not. And she had known Scam much longer than Britney had so she had no excuse but her own lack of judgement. "I know" Sam muttered. "But it's done now and I need to find him. I can't find him anywhere" she admitted bluntly and Britney bit her lip. "I'll help you look for him then" she said kindly and Sam relaxed a little hoping that together she and Britney could track down the man she was sure was ready to kill her by now.
9:00 pm - W.O.O.H.P. Headquarters, Outside Prison Facility
"It's been hours searching" Britney said as her and Sam stopped outside the prisons. Sam sighed and nodded knowing Britney was right. They hadn't been able to find him anywhere and that bothered her so much. An angry and upset Scam was not one that was safe to leave alone to plan revenge.
"We should just go home.." Britney suggested stretching slightly. "We're tired and we can't find him anywhere. Maybe someone at W.O.O.H.P. will see him and let us know later. Go on Sammie, lock the prisons and let's just go home."
Sam bit her lip in worry over Scam but nodded knowing there was nothing she could do. Turning the handle to the door the walked into the W.O.O.H.P. prisons with Britney behind her. She quickly walked though the rows making sure everyone was in their cells, doing her job before she closed the door for the night. She was about to leave when Britney tapped her shoulder making her turn around. Her eyes widened as she saw someone she hadn't expected to find here standing in one of the cells.
Tim Scam was in his old cell staring at her with a glare on his face. "He's here?" Sam thought in wonder thinking why he hadn't just left W.O.O.H.P. when he easily could have and plotted to kill her. Why had he simply went back to prison? Was it because he said he didn't want to work with her and the contract was broken? Did Scam really care that much about a contract? Wondering why he actually wasn't out trying to murder her she said nothing as she unlocked his cell expecting him to come out. But he didn't.
Sam sighed feeling tense and guilty for the way she had treated him. She really should have treated the man she needed for her job better than that. In the future she would have to be careful to control her anger. "What are you doing in here?" she asked softly making him give her another glare. "What does it look like?" he spat and she looked down knowing he was angry. "You need to help me run W.O.O.H.P.…" she said slowly. "For that you can't be in jail."
Giving her a glare he frowned. "No I don't. I take back my offer, I'm not going to help you anymore. You and W.O.O.H.P. can go to hell" he said in a murderous tone making her go pale. He wasn't going to help her anymore? No, he couldn't do that! "You can't!" Sam screamed desperately. "You promised to help!"
Scam smirked. "I never signed a contract" he said simply showing her he had no real obligation to help her and she knew he was right. He hadn't signed the contract yet. Feeling tears sting at her eyes she bit her lip and looked down. It was all her fault for messing this up and now he would never help her. Not even for his freedom.
"Wait a minute Scam…" Britney said taking a step closer to him. "Are you sure about this?" Scam sighed, clearly angry. "Yes" he said angrily. "I'm completely sure. I can't put up with her" he said pointing to Sam who was shaking at the thought of having to run W.O.O.H.P. on her own.
Britney nodded slowly knowing he was right. Sam hadn't exactly done her part to get along with him, even if he was a criminal he was still human and wanted to be treated properly. It wasn't that much to ask for, especially not after what he was doing for W.O.O.H.P..
"Look.." Britney started, trying to reason with him. "Do you really want to give up your own chance at lasting freedom just like that? Just because of Sam?" Scam's jaw twitched but he stayed silent knowing she had a point. Why should he give up his chance to be free because of an irritating girl like Samantha. He didn't have to let her bother him, and if she really got on his nerve he could always make her pay. Seeing him say nothing Britney smiled knowing he was deep in thought. "Why don't you go home for tonight.." she suggested. "Think about it. Don't make a fast decision, okay?"
He slowly nodded and Britney smiled glad that he was listening to her if not Sam. And for some reason Sam found herself glaring at Britney and she didn't understand why. Scam quietly left the jail leaving them behind. Sam bit her lip nervously. "Do you think he's going to help? I don't think so" she muttered remembering how angry he was.
"No I think he will.." Britney said with a small smile watching his form as he walked away, remembering how he had listened to her just now. "Just give him some time Sam, he's not as bad as you think" she whispered before walking away. Sam narrowed her eyes at her friend's words. Why did it seem like Britney was more comfortable around Scam than she should be? Brushing it off she walked out herself hoping and praying Scam would give her a second chance for W.O.O.H.P.'s sake.
10:00 pm - Near Scam's house, Street
A permanent glare was stuck on his face as he walked along the empty street thinking about the annoying redhead he had to work with. Should he leave her on her own to drive W.O.O.H.P. into the ground? That would be a suitable revenge, but part of him wanted something more personal from her than that. Deep in thought he never noticed the shadow creeping up behind him until he felt small tingle of pain in his shoulder. He didn't get time to react as he was knocked unconscious.
Smirking she walked up to him and leaned down, turning him over so she could glance at his face. "Finally…" she whispered slowly running a finger down his cheek and stopping when she reached his lips. "I have him alone."
11:00 pm - Unknown Location, Underground
Scam grunted as he began to come around. He opened his eyes slowly and blinked a few times trying to figure out what had happened. Trying to sit up, his eyes widened in alarm when he felt his arm wasn't moving. Looking around he felt he was laying on a bed and he didn't recognize his dark surroundings.
Narrowing his eyes he noticed one of his wrists were chained up to the bedpost and he wondered who would dare to do this to him. How had they managed to pull this off? Clenching his teeth he began to try and remove the chains only to stop when he heard a feminine laugh of amusement and it didn't sound familiar.
"So you're finally awake…" a dark voice said and he felt himself glare. "What's the meaning of this?" he hissed. A moment later light filled the room and he was able to get a glance at his captor. Scam's eyes narrowed when he saw the woman standing there. Glancing at her brown hair, darker eyes and slender face he had the faint impression he had seen her briefly somewhere before but he couldn't remember where or when. "Who are you?" he asked slightly pressing on his elbow and raising his head up to get a better look.
"Geraldine Husk, I'm sure you've heard the name before" she said with a self-satisfied smirk making him frown. Now that she mentioned it he did remember her. She was one of W.O.O.H.P.'s enemies but he had never really crossed paths with her before and he wondered what she wanted from him.
"What do you want from me?" he asked angrily knowing she had brought him here. Geraldine smiled. "I needed to ask you something important" she said cryptically making him roll his eyes. "Right. Why did you have to chain me up?" he asked jerking on the chain. A smirk stretched onto her face as she came closer to him. "So you wouldn't get away of course."
Scam's mouth formed an "o" of understanding before he pulled on his trapped arm, giving her a smirk before he broke the chain holding it in one swift moment. Although she was sure he thought it bothered her, it didn't. She was quite impressed with his strength and had heard rumours about Tim Scam's abilities but she had never been fortunate enough to meet him personally. "Do you really think you can keep me here against my will? I didn't think you'd be that stupid" he muttered before standing up and moving to leave knowing he would kill anyone who tried to stop him.
She stopped him by gently touching his arm. "Wait Tim" she said softly. "Don't you want to know why I brought you here?" Scam smirked turning around and facing her. "No not really." She sighed. "Look it's important. Just listen to me for a few minutes before you leave. This has to do with W.O.O.H.P. and its new leader."
He froze on the spot and frowned wondering what she was going on about now. "Hurry up and spit out what you have to say" he said angrily and she smirked. "You know all about W.O.O.H.P.'s new leader don't you? Samantha Simpson right? Not much of a leader is she?" Scam smirked. "You're not much of a villainess either, so what's you point?"
She ignored his insult and smirked. "She doesn't treat you very nicely does she?" Geraldine's smirk only widened when she saw his eyes darken and she knew she had hit a nerve. "I mean you agreed to help her and even took a bullet for her and what does she do? Yell at you? Insult you?" she whispered as she circled around him trying to harness his hatred and unused rage.
"How long have you been watching me?" he asked and she chuckled. "Long enough to know how she treats you. Doesn't it bother you?.." she asked stopping in front of him. "The way she acts around you, doesn't that get to you?" When he looked down she knew it did. She sighed crossing her arms over her chest. "You deserve so much better Tim. A man like you deserves the world at his feet." He didn't say anything knowing she was definitely up to something.
Biting her lip Geraldine placed her hand on his arm making him look at her curiously. "You shouldn't have to put up with that brat. You don't need to. All you want is your freedom right? Then all you need to do is destroy W.O.O.H.P. and I can help you. We can help each other.." she whispered taking another step closer to him, drinking in his perfect features.
Sam really had no clue how to treat a man. Tim Scam….which woman wouldn't want him by her side? Geraldine smirked knowing Sam's stupidity would push him to help her and that was just what she needed. And once W.O.O.H.P. was out of the way…
"Be honest…" he said suddenly ripping her from her thoughts. "You're only saying all this because you know I can help you destroy W.O.O.H.P. from the inside since I work there now." Geraldine smiled slowly nodding her head. She had known he would figure it out. He wasn't a genius for nothing. "Yes. Together we can destroy W.O.O.H.P. and I know you want that. Think about it. W.O.O.H.P. will be gone, that girl will be finished. You'll finally have your revenge and I'll have mine too. And I know you can do this on your own but our chances together are much higher, that stupid Samantha won't even see it coming."
She watched his eyes widen for a moment as he thought before a evil smirk donned his face. "So what's the plan?" he asked with bloodlust in his eyes and Geraldine smiled in excitement. He was going to work for her! "Well it isn't a hundred percent done yet but we'll attack her soon." He crossed his arms over his chest. "How soon?" he asked and she smiled at his eagerness to do this. "In a few days, if you help divert attention at W.O.O.H.P. then I can make it sooner. I need you to get the leader alone."
"Sam?" he asked in confusion. "Why her? She's no longer a spy and she isn't so great at her new job anyway." Geraldine shook her head. "Yes, but she is the heart of W.O.O.H.P. now. Without her they will be hopeless and poor old Jerry won't be able to handle her death. He might just have another heart attack and then W.O.O.H.P. will never have another leader. It will fall as soon as she does."
Scam nodded understanding the factors of the plan. "So you want to kill Samantha?" She nodded and smirked. "And I can only do that when you get her alone. She is surrounded by security and you are the only person who can reach her through that and get her alone.." she took a deep breath and looked at him. "Can you do that Tim? Can you lead her to her death?"
Scam stayed silent as he thought about the redhead he was supposed to help murder. After a few seconds of silence he looked up and smirked evilly glancing into Geraldine's eyes, seeing all the anticipation there and he knew that with or without him she would go after Sam and kill her. She would do it now while she was vulnerable and struggling with running W.O.O.H.P. Now really was the perfect time to attack.
Smirking harder he nodded. "Yes I can" he said firmly watching her eyes light up. She would never know what hit her.
12:00 am - Near Scam's House, Outside
Sam bit her lip as she stood outside Scam's home nervously. Seeing that light was flooding out of the place she knew he was still up probably thinking over the decision he had to make. Whether to help W.O.O.H.P. or not. She gulped knowing he was probably leaning towards saying no because of her and her stupidity. But W.O.O.H.P. needed him, she had no idea how to run the agency and he was her only hope. She had to make amends and try to get along with him if she wanted to succeed.
"Which means I have to apologize.." she thought as she glanced at her watch noting it was midnight and she wasn't sure how polite it would be to do this right now. But she knew she had to because the longer she took the longer his anger would keep growing and he would never help her then.
Taking a deep breath she walked up the steps and knocked on the door, biting her lip as she waited. It took a moment for the door to open and when it did she saw a sleepy-looking Tim Scam who's eyes burned with rage the moment he saw her. "What the hell are you doing here?" has snarled and she gulped, taking a step back afraid he would murder her right now.
Mustering up her courage she sighed. "I wanted to say something to you." Scam scoffed, crossing his arms over his chest. "You STILL have something left to say? He asked and she knew he was referring to the many rude things she had said to him before.
She sighed softly. "Yes. I wanted to say…I'm sorry" she looked down and fidgeted with her hands. "I should have never treated you like that. It was stupidity on my part and I should have tried to get along with you instead of make things worse."
When she looked up she saw the shock on his face and she knew he hadn't seen this coming. Giving him a small smile she bit her lip. "Please Scam can you give W.O.O.H.P. another chance? Can we start over?" she asked and he knew she was begging him. He watched her with narrowed eyes thinking of what he should say to her when Geraldine's plan flashed into his mind and he knew what he had to do.
Sighing he uncrossed his arms and let them fall to his sides. Looking at her face he gave her a neutral expression before he decided to speak. "Fine. I'll come back to W.O.O.H.P." he said simply and relief was clear everywhere on the redhead's face.
"Thank you…Thank you so much." Sam said softly, still disbelieving he was willing to help her after all that she had done. He really must be better than she what she thought of him. Scam smirked slightly as he watched her happy face.
"Don't mention it princess."
… Erm anyone else have a bad feeling? Lol :P And I don't think I like Geraldine.
Hmm Scam agreed to help but can he REALLY be trusted?
And notice Sam can be nice! It's a miracle.
Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW so I know you guys don't hate me for not updating in a ridiculously long long time. Ugh.
Hope this chapter was good. Will update faster next time :D
