-Ben's POV-
"Hey Gwen, over here." I wave Gwen over.

"This is your damage control?" Hux questions me.

"Yeah."

"Scoot loser. What did he do?" Phasma says pushing Hux further into the booth.

"Asked her for a piece of that ass." I glare at him.

Gwen slaps his arm. "Does he really have to say dibs out loud. Wait don't anwser that." She turns to me. "Do you not remember that his brain is smaller than his dick?"

"You would know." Hux chuckles.

"Hey Gwen." She says as she comes out with our food.

"Hey. Weird question, do you work tomorrow?"

"I don't believe so. What's up?"

"We're having a movie night tomorrow, you and Finn should come."

"Oh cool, what movie?" Gwen nudges me.

"Well it's Ben's turn to pick, so Ben what movie?"

"Well if you tell me your name, I'll let you pick." I smile at her.

She sighs. "Rey."

"Rey." I say and nod to myself. "Well Rey, what movie shall we watch?"

"I'm not watching a chick flic!" Hux speaks up.

"You'll watch whatever I bring." Rey tells Hux. "What time should we come by?"

"Is 6 okay?" Gwen asks.

"Sure. Now if you'll excuse me, gotta get back to work."

-Rey's POV-
I get off work and walk home in the dark. Did Ben really not know my name? I mean I didn't tell him before today, but you would think he would of asked Gwen my name or looked down at my mail to catch him. What kind of guy tries to get a girl to go out with him without knowing her name.
I pull out my phone to let Finn know I'm on my way.

R: Hey, on my way.

F: Kk, be careful.

R: I think I can handle myself.

F: You never know.

"Give me your phone?"

"Excuse me?" I look up and see a masked man in all black.

"You heard me. Give me the phone. And your wallet." He points whatever is in his jacket at me. I raise my hands.

"Okay, take it easy. I'll give you whatever you want... let me just grab my wallet." I reach into my bag and pull out my pepper spray.

I spray him in the face, then knee him.

He falls and I dial 911 quickly. He begins to struggle to get up. I grab him by his jacket and throw him down. He grunts and takes a blind swing missing.

"9-1-1, what's your emergency?"

"Someone's attempting to rob me. I'm on the corner of?" I glance up at the dark street sign.

"It's okay ma' I'm tracking you now."

The man grabs my leg and I fall dropping my phone. "Hurry!" I yell as he grabs my hair.

I grab at his mask and he pushes me away. He begins to run and I spirt after and tackle him onto the sidewalk.

"Hey!" Someone shouts and I hear sirens close by.

I grab his arms and press him down into the sidewalk with his hands behind his back.

"Are you okay?" A tall figure asks.

"Yeah, can you grab my phone from back there?"

"Yeah sure." The figure stalks off and gets my phone. "Over here." He shouts to the police car approaching.

"Sir, where?"

"She has him pinned to the ground."

The police officer approaches me and I shuttle on his back to make room for him to arrest him.

I get off once the handcuffs are on.

"Nice work lady. Are you neighborhood watch?"

"No I was just walking home from work."

"Well good job protecting yourself. We could use people like you on the force."

"Thank you officer, but I need to get home."

"Do you want a ride?" He offers.

"No, it's just another block." I tell him.

"I can walk her." I turn around and see Han standing there with my phone.

Of course the helpful, tall figure was Han.

"Do you know each other?" The officer asks.

"He's my boss."

"We're you following her sir?" The officer questions him.

"No I'm heading to my son's place."

"I live in the same building as his son Ben."

"Oh okay. Well be careful you too. Good job again ma'."

I nod at the officer and Han hands me my phone.

"Thanks."

"No problem. You okay?"

"Yeah. Let's get going."
