Blame It On Pride

Y/n's POV:

'No fucking way.' I blurt out as I sit back in my seat, 'I prefer sitting in a cell, eating porridge for breakfast, lunch and dinner rather than being in a mile radius with that spoiled-ass.'

'I know it sounds preposterous-'

'Preposterous? Have you seen him and the way he prances about being the superior?'

'Listen, there's a grand-reward, it is expedient for you-'

'Oh no it's not-'

'Half a million in return, you and your friends are bailed from three months in jail, eating the porridge for living, and then you are free.'

It was as tranquil as in oasis,

'Why me?'

'Your father...You have a vast amount of genes from him, leadership, diligence, strategic cognitivism, you have a huge potential, and Rafe Cameron is bold, has adaptability skills and he has critical thinking abilities-'

'Oh please-him?'

'Yes, we've seen him at work, the way he takes situations and the way he applies force melts ideally with you, you loathe each other but it will then prevaricate banters and will get you both straight to work, no chatting, no paradoxes, quick and relentless.'

'Not when we want to murder each other 'quickly and relentlessly'.'

'But you will not, that is taken care of as well, you have to make a decision now Ms. Y/l/n.'

It will bail me and most importantly my friends out...

'I...I am sorry but I cannot do it-I mean...Can I think about it?'

'Sadly that is not an option.'

'Why not? Do you think I will run away or dissipate this truly dim-witting information amongst others? They don't give a crap about this, I need like, one hour, you can send on of your big-bad guys with you and tell them to sit in a car and wait whilst I talk with my friends...'

'They cannot know...'

'I won't tell them, I'll just say that I am going on a...uhm commission?'

'Commission?'

'Yes, just so they don't worry.'

After some time she sighs and nods, 'Fine.'

'With Cameron to fucking New York-are you insane?' JJ recites as I indicate my finger and warn him to stop being so loud, 

'That damn henchman will hear you-and yes, it won't take long, it will bail us out-'

'I can bail you all out, me and Sarah, we were not part of that stupid and petulant thing y'all pulled on that road.' John B. conveys as he steps closer, 

'You won't be able to, we are already sentenced, it's that or-'

'Well then let's do it! We can conquer prison, be the ones everyone fears-'

'Are you crazy? Have you seen those buxom-bulks with hands more muscular than all of us splattered together?' Kiara comments as I nod, 

'It will be quick, just have to do some...uhm, shoot some bad guys-'

'You will use weapons?' Pope yelps as he steps closer as well, 

'This is the only option guys.' I mutter as they all survey me, 

'No way, I'm sorry but first of all, It's Rafe Cameron you'll be accompanied with, second of all, it's Rafe-Fucking-Cameron you will be with!' JJ recites as he steps aside, as if the decision has been already made.

'I'm sorry, but I have to do it, it's for our own good-'

'No it's not!' Sarah mutters, 'I have been living with Rafe for years-'

'Sarah-I know, he's an asshole and he has been tormenting me my whole life-'

'Then why are you even considering the option of being in one purlieu with him?' JJ inquires, 

'Because...it's bailing us out.'

'Not enough Y/n, that is simply not enough-'

'And it's offering half-a-million that we can split-'

'Do you really think it's all about money? You are going on a controversial mission with the most ostentatious ass in the whole World, you might be in danger-but oh no, it's offering cash, so released!' JJ blurts as he sits down on a bench next to us, examining me, 

It's silent, no one is talking as I sigh heavily, I despise and truly-rather prefer sitting in jail, but it is bailing out my friends and Pope did tell us to slow down earlier but he would go with us, I cannot let this happen, it shouldn't take that long, 

'I will go.'

'No you will not!' Everyone recites in unison,

'I have to! I'm sure it won't take ages-'

'Y/n-no,'

'I am sorry.' I mumble as I turn around but feel a tight grasp on my wrist, 

'I cannot forcefully stop you, but I'm beggin' you, don't go...' JJ mutter as I turn around and embrace him, looking at everyone, they all gather around us as we all collectively hug, 

'Guys, I will be back.' I mutter as we all part from the hug and I wave at all of them, stepping towards the vehicle where the lady in a backseat sits, observing me as I step closer to the car, she opens the window and anticipates my answer, 

'I'll go.'

She smiles and the man from the passenger seat opens a door for me,

I inspect all of them as they examine me, stepping into a black-polished Mercedes, the ignition initiating as the car instigates, driving further and further away from them, as then they vanish entirely from my sight...

'Thank you for agreeing.' Ms. Garcia recites as I nod and hunker in my seat...

I regret it already...
