"Take every chance. Drop every fear." ~Unknown (sounds like a personal issue Vic)

For a moment, my jaw dropped. Owen had failed to mention any of this in our many conversations. My heart sunk.
I had shared everything with Owen and he had still failed to even think that detail might be important. A thought occurred to me though. One I would never dream of speaking out loud but had simply wondered across my mind. Had Hoskins been responsible for her death in some form? I pushed the thought away. He couldn't. He wouldn't dare to try and act innocent after doing something like that... would he?

Surprising as it was, I still didn't see it as a good reason. For some reason, I couldn't keep my mouth shut and just look away. For some reason, I was feeling brave. For some unexplained reason, I allowed myself to say what I was thinking. The words just fell out.
"If you truly loved her you would've respected the decision and allowed it to happen. My parents left me behind and kept my brother but I didn't murder my parents or harm my brother. It's not human. People fall out of love and if you can't understand that then you are as foolish as a young child. Women are allowed to make their own choices. Taking 'revenge' on Owen isn't going to do anything to help the pain you feel. She. Left. You. My parents did the same to me without explanation and I played the cards I was dealt. I suggest you start doing the same Mr.Hoskins."

The moment I finished talking I regretted all of it. I was never afraid of death. To this very moment I believe there are so much worse things than death. I was afraid though. My mind was racing. Had I just walked myself into a death penalty or worse. the position Owen was currently in? My blue eyes flicker with fear but I quickly concealed it. I would be ready for whatever Hoskins throw at me.
I would not shake under the enemy's fire. I would not give Hoskins the feeling of sucess. He didn't deserve an ounce of it. Bravery quickly returned to my eyes. What would he do to me?

xxx he straightened up with visible frustration. She had family obligations. ”love isn’t real. Claire used Owen as an outlet for her family issues. My wife used him as a challenge to her freedom. A feeedom I was okay with Untill she wanted to marry him. Owen is nothing to anyone, she would have discarded him after a few years just like Claire did. However she does have something big she’s not telling you...” I said flatly clearly not in the mood to deal with her remarks. “now that’s none of my business.” Hoskins turned back to Owens cell and looked at him narrowing his eyes. ”take Grady to be water boarded.. I’ll talk to him in a bit. I have to finish with Dawn.”

"Take every chance. Drop every fear."

I almost snapped. I almost had said 'he means something to me. I didn't though. Never in my life had I shut up faster Was he going to attempt to torture me? Surely he just wanted to throw something else in my face. Some other information he had found somehow. I doubted he'd harm me. Though, I wasn't going to completely rule out the idea. " Why might I be staying?" Once again, I expected no answer. Maybe it was worth asking. My insides squirmed as I awaited the answer. Though, something was telling me I'd figure out as soon as Owen left.

xxx he claearky wasn’t that interested in the response she gave. He wanted something snapped at him like he expected but Hoskins had a feeling that Dawn knew it was true. Owen was taken from the restraints and the took him away to another one of the many cells in this small facility. ”oh! Did you want to watch the whole thing as I can have that arranged...”he said before stopping himself and turning to her m. She was so uneasy with all of this. Poor girl. But she did bring this onto herself.

"Take every chance. Drop every fear."

I was truly trying not to snap. It was extremely hard though. He had played innocent while knowing that he was getting to me. "I want you to let him go and never hurt him again. What I want, is for people to figure out who you are. What you are. You are a monster Vic Hoskins. You can't afford to say that out loud though. Even with all the money you claim to have." It flowed out in a long snap. It was almost calm sounding, laced with anger and frustration. I couldn't take it anymore. My eyes were sharp. The shade of bright blue had changed to an icy form of what they used to be as I looked into his eyes. The bravery inside me seemed to slowly turn fake. In all honesty, I knew I had gone too far but I wasn't going to back down now.

xxx he let out a sigh of not frustration but almost disappointment in the reporter. She asked the same question and gave the same request over and over again almost as though she weren’t giving it too much thought. He finally decided to respond to the first portion. “I’ve said this before and I will say this again but I’m Not letting Grady go. On the contrary I may keep him for longer because of your comments. His voice remained flat and had twinges of delight at the end. As though it were difficult for him to keep his joy contained. ”I own a small business sweetie, that’s how we find the project . You think I’d be dumb enough to fund it out of my own pocket? But, I am truly the devil as you put it. ”

"Take every chance. Drop every fear."

I couldn't stand the tone of his voice. It stung as if someone was smacking me across my face continuously. As I had suspected, I was going to have to find another way to help Owen. Clearly, Hoskins didn't listen to common sense and it was foolish of me to think that he would let Owen go that easily. The hole would only be dug deeper if I continued to let him see my frustration. Maybe, it would distract him though. I shook the thought. I could think up of ways to help Owen without getting anyone else hurt later. I just need to be a little more careful with my words. From now on, my words would have to be like my writing. Thought through and cautious but filled with hidden meaning. The nick-name sweetie continued to frustrate me. "I'll stop repeating myself when you stop calling me anything other than Ms.Hayes." I felt no need to reply to the last part. I just wanted to get home so I could start planning how to save Owen. The best way to do that would've been to keep my mouth shut but that wasn't possible for me. My mind was blurred and fuzzed by everything happening. Maybe soon this memory would be gone from my mind. I just needed to be more careful with my words. That's exactly what I'd do. Starting now. This would hopefully satisfy Hoskins just enough to let Owen and I go. Or at least me so I could plan a way to get back and help Owen. My eyes didn't drop from Hokskins' though. I still had the boldness about me.

xxx Hoksins shook his head knowing that he could get away with this for as long as he really wanted too. He allowed a small smirk to play along his features for a split second before stopping and looking at Dawn as though he were ready to expose every single one of her fears. He had found Owen's and he supposed that it was only a matter of time before he would be able to expose what her worst fears were. "Why should I bother." He cocked his head to the side asking the usual question as more of a statement. "I wouldn't mind letting you go on one condition.." He said as he continued to keep his eyes on dawn.

"Take every chance. Drop every fear."

As I had told myself earlier, I thought of what to say. If I didn’t chose my next words with various I would end up hurt or worse. That, or I would hurt Owen even more. Part me wished he would. I wouldn’t remember it in the morning and all I would know is that I was here or doing something stupid that I didn’t remember. ”Claire worries about me more than she does about Owen. Do you think she’d be able to brush it off as nothing?” I paused. There was that bravery again. Making me a little more foolish. ”You wouldn’t.” There was fear laced into the words but under radar. It wasn’t a dare for him to do it. Once again I could risk injuring myself to the extent that I couldn’t help Owen. That was the real danger. The real risk. In other words, I was in no one daring him to try. I was honestly in disbelief. It had crossed my mind but I didn’t think he’d do it.

xxx Hoksins shrugged still not really in the mood to deal with Dawn in this moment. "Why not? You just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time." He said spilling the truth. he never really wanted to bring her into the facility. This was just supposed to be for Owen not her. However once she saw them take him there was no turning back. They had to capture her as well before she came running after Owen in a mad attempt to try to break him out. Which was near impossible. In reality he was just saving time. "Firstly, you will not speak of this to anyone. We will still have Owen and the IBRIS project on my shoulders. Take me from the equation and you lose Owen. Probably forever. he's not exactly the most forgiving type in the world. Second, you give me intel on the new asset that the park has been designing. I have a funny feeling that I may be... Particularly interested in it. Are you in, Sweetie? Thats all you have to do and I will let you go without a memory wipe." He said not stepping any closer but allowing himself to remain an intimidating presence for Dawn.
