Chapter 17
Scarlet was going to her room when she got a message from Arizona.
* Hope he's dead. And I have deleted the video of the killing in the club that he sent it Santiago*
* Good. He's dead and Thanks* she sent after much deliberation.
000 FLASHBACK ON WHAT HAPPENED IN THE CLUB
After the fight, Arizona tried talking to Scarlet who was angrily working out of the place, when she saw a mysterious figure taking videos and pictures of what happened. That was why she suddenly stopped giving Arizona the chance to talk to her.
"That's the spy in your clan, Victor. Who has been working with Santiago for a while now. He gives out information about your clan and about you to send to you giving him urge to win the fight against you. I wanted to come tell you myself but I don't know how you react after seeing me because of what I did to you years ago" Arizona explained watching Victor walk out of the place secretly.
"Why the f****** hell are you telling me this right now and how the hell did you find out about this news? Who are you and who are you working with? Cause at this point there's no way and ever trusting you again" Scarlet sneered angrily. "I understand your anger and it's justified. But give me a chance to explain. After I escaped from your place that period you were drugged, I want you to Santiago who offered to give me please to stay when I lied to him about me not wanting to stay in your place anymore. That I wanted to establish myself and stand strong on my own without your help, he took me in and gave me a place to stay but I found out that he was planning something bad about you with the help of Shadow Wolves. I have out the tip which lead to their arrest" she explained further, while Scarlet stared at her confused.
"So you're trying to tell me that you stay in the Slayers Clan and you're not working with them!!!!!? How the hell do you want me to believe you after everything you done to me? I was your friend, your sister, the first friend you ever made in that place yet you drugged me and helped Smith wipe my memories?!!!!!" Scarlet yelled angrily, the feeling of betrayal, pain and hatred she felt years ago came rushing back like flooded water. It threatened to explode her. "Look, I know how you feel it's all my fault!!! I should have told you that what he was planning but my younger brothers life was at stack then, he was kidnapped by Smith that's why I did that. You claim your memories were wiped then how the hell did you recognize me then?? Huh?? I tempered with the machine causing it malfunction but they didn't notice" she yelled back then turned around to calm herself while tears, fell from her eyes. "I couldn't face you after that, I couldn't look you in the eye because I was wrong but if you were in my shoes, what would you have done? I did what I thought was best then. I tried my best to protect you from Smiths attacks but you didn't notice it cause of the hatred you have for me. I decided to run away then ran into Santiago and has been protecting you from him since then" she concluded cause of tears in her eyes.
Scarlet suddenly calmed down. " You were the one that saved me that night?"
"Yes it was me. I couldn't let him win with his evil plans so I did that to save what ever information he was trying to wipe away. Even the Slayers Clan has a huge secret, the brother of the triplets, Lucas, is still alive and has been a slave in that clan for a long time now. I trying to save him when I found out through Bingo that Johnson was here at this club. I decided to find out the reason why he killed Chad that night " she added wiping away her tears. "Wow. I know that Lucas is still alive but didn't know how to bring out alive without that bastard finding out that he's gone. Now that you have explained everything to me, can you be my spy in that Clan?" Scarlet asked kneely.
"Of course. I will do anything to win your trust back. How is Diego, David, Rachel and Vincento? They were all my friends too but they suddenly changed towards me after Smith told them something I still don't know till today" she sighed sadly.
"Everything will be fine" Scarlet advised with a low smile.
"You still smile?"
"I haven't smile happily in years" Scarlet replied as they were about going out of the private lounge to public area, she suddenly stopped." They rest are out there and I don't know how they will react after seeing you, and I don't want Santiago to find out that you have started walking with me until he's taken down. So I guess you will go through that window" she suggested after scanning the place. Arizona didn't object as Scarlet helped her carefully climbed down the window and Scarlet hurriedly let the place including her gang members behind to drop Arizona off before Santiago suspect anything.
0000 Present 0000
The beeping sound of her phone brought her back to reality. It was still a message from Arizona telling her to eat and have enough rest, she didn't reply rather she pocket her phone and went inside to bath because she about to visit her next Victim.
0000 SLAYER'S CLAN 0000
Arizona was laying down looking at phone while waiting for Scarlet to reply in which she knows that she wouldn't, she sighed and dropped her phone before standing up to meet the others outside the playing room. "Hello guys" she greeted as soon as she entered. She made alot friends which likes her alot and she's using it against them to get the information she needs about Santiago.
"What's popping? I heard notices earlier on" she asked acting like she doesn't know what's going on. Santiago and Bingo thinks she's too fragile to handle the mafia clan forgetting that she was a mafia and the devil's best friend back then. "The boss said that someone is working with DVV to take us down and that person is in our Clan because the video that would have lead to her down fall has been deleted from his phone" A dark skinned girl known as Vera, said causally.

"What???? This calls for alarm, has he caught the person or any lead? Even through the cameras?" She asked again.
"The cameras was deleted from the control room. This place is a mess now" Blondy, a guy replied.
"I think I will go and see him myself to know how it happened" Arizona said, standing up as she left the place to his room.
* I don't know why I feel like she's the spy here" Vera said coldly.
"She can't be the spy because she's boss's friend and Scarlet's enemy who would do anything to see her down " Blondy said recalling the conversation he had with her before.
# DUNGEON 000
Arizona crept through the dark, damp corridors of the dungeon, her heart racing with every step. The air was thick with the stench of rot and decay, and the flickering torches cast eerie shadows on the walls. She had been sneaking in for weeks, bringing food and hope to the prisoner, Lucas.
As she approached his cell, she whispered, "Lucas, it's me, Arizona. I've brought food."
Lucas's head lifted, his eyes squinting in the dim light. His once strong body now hung limp and lifeless, his skin pale and clammy. Arizona's heart ached at the sight of him, but she forced a smile onto her face. "Hey, Lucas. I've got some bread and water for you. You need to keep your strength up."
Lucas's voice was barely above a whisper. "Arizona...thank God. I thought I was going to starve to death in here."
Arizona hurried to his side, helping him sit up as she handed him a piece of bread and a waterskin. "Eat, Lucas. You need your strength. We're going to get you out of here soon."

Lucas devoured the bread, his eyes never leaving Arizona's face. "You're an angel, Arizona. If it weren't for you...I would have died long ago."
Arizona's eyes filled with tears, but she blinked them back. She couldn't afford to show weakness now. "You're going to be okay, Lucas. Scarlet and I are working on a plan to get you out of here. Soon, you'll be free." Lucas's gaze locked onto hers, his voice filled with gratitude. "You've been my only hope, Arizona. Your kindness and bravery...I can never repay you."
Arizona's voice was barely above a whisper. "You don't have to, Lucas. Just survive. We'll get through this together."
As Lucas ate, Arizona examined his wounds, her face set in determination. She knew Scarlet's plan was risky, but they had no other choice. Lucas's life hung in the balance, and she refused to let him die.
"Lucas, listen to me. Scarlet and I will come for you soon. Be ready. We'll get you out, no matter what it takes."
Lucas's eyes sparkled with hope, his voice barely audible. "I trust you, Arizona. I trust Scarlet. I know you'll save me."
Arizona's smile was fierce. "We will, Lucas. We won't let you down."
As she prepared to leave, Lucas grasped her hand, his grip weak but full of gratitude. "Thank you, Arizona. Thank you for being my friend...my lifeline."
Arizona's heart swelled with emotion. "You're my friend too, Lucas. We'll get through this together. I promise."
With a final glance, Arizona vanished into the darkness, leaving Lucas with a glimmer of hope in the desolate dungeon. She knew the road ahead would be treacherous, but she was determined to save Lucas, no matter the cost and return him to his sister's.
