Lucy nodded, chewing on her lip, glad that she had stopped herself from being attacked as well. She left the room quickly, half falling up the stairs in her panic to get into her office. She had once treated the major before he passed on the role to his son. He was an old man now, but no less powerful than he had once been. She placed the file on the desk before cringing slightly. She lifted up her chair and placed it down on its side. She winced as she knocked over her inkwell and ripped a few loose pages that only held prescription details of long-since-dead patients.

Lucy had messed up some more things within her office. Her hands were still shaking slightly.

She picked up the papers. There was some ink fromthe inkwell on the corner of one of the papers. "The old major." She told him. "Most important male customer's I've had." Her eyes were distant amd she was having trouble looking at him.

Ryder took the files from her and set them down on the table for a moment. Then he gently lifted her chin with his finger so she would look at him. "I'm sorry, Lucy. I've dragged you into a mess you should have never have been in," he muttered, searching her face once more, searching to see the hatred and disgust that he was waiting for. "This will last only a few weeks before the police will stop watching you like a hawk. I'll be gone, so you won't have to worry about hiding me during that time or lying about anything on my part. After the suspicion has died down, if you still don't hate my guts," he reached into his pocket, searching for the item he had tried to grab before he passed out on her porch. Grasping it, he pulled it out and took her hand, pressing her engagement ring into her palm. "I'll figure out a way to move you closer to me, or we can move to a different place entirely where no one knows me. So long as I get to spend my nights with you once more."

Rather than the hatred and disgust that he was looking for, her eyes watered with pain and fear. She listened to him intently, nodding after what he said. She looked down when the ring was placed in her hand and used her other hand to cover her mouth as she gasped. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she sobbed quietly. "I want to be with you again, Ryder." She whispered.

"Then please know that whatever I do, I will never hurt you," Ryder said. He wanted to make sure she knew that before he told her what he'd have to do instead of knocking her out. But before that, he kissed her head gently, keeping his lips there longer than he should. He didn't want to pull away, but time was being wasted. "Lucy, I'm going to have to tie you up. I can't leave here with you free, or they will suspect that you helped me. I won't tie the rope tight, and if you have to get free, you can, but you have to play the victim. I'm sorry."

She pulled him into a hug, nodding against his chest. "I know. Thank you for not knocking me out." She looked down at the ground before looking back up at him. She looked down towards the street, where the clicking of several horseshoes could be heard. "Quickly." She murmured to him, offering him her wrists.

Lucy kissed him back softly, pressing her head against his. "Please be safe." She told him softly. "I couldn't bare to lose you again."
(could you be doing the guards?)

Lucy tested the bindings and found that while they were loose, they weren't enough to writhe out of. She thought of the time that she had heard the Ryder was dead. When she saw the blood in his home, the funeral. She felt the tears stream down her face and chewed her lip. She needed to make it look believable. In her best and shakiest voice, she called out, "help! I've been attacked!"

"I-I'm okay." She said back, voice catching slightly in fear they would attack her. "I can't move. I've been tied up." She bit her lip, hoping it would somehow ground her. She was so scared of them finding out about her connection with the assassin. She was scared that Ryder would be found and in the state that he was in he likely wouldn't survive against all these officers. She was afraid that she would be taken into custody. She pressed all these fears to the forefront of her mind, hoping that it would help her sell that she had been attacked.
(I have condemned myself. I have made a tinder account and I sent a person this "Hey you" "I like your face" with no context omg)

(not yet. I'm so afraid.)
'T-the assassin." She whispered brokenly. "He c-came in and demanded the files for the major." She whispered as she brought her hands back around, ringing her hands together nervously. "I was so afraid. I let him come in but when I couldn't find the files he trashed my office and- and -" she covered her face. "He - I don't know. He tied me up and knocked me over so I couldn't see what he was doing..." She felt sick at how easy it was to lie for Ryder.

(Was the person cute, or super cute? If they was cute, then you don't have that much to loose. If they were super cute, yes, be afraid. XD If they reply with their own little joke, befriend them. XD)
The guards face darkened at the mention of the assassin. They've been trying to look for the pest for years, but he never found him. It made him sick to think he had been so close to them yet managed to escape. "You'll be fine, Miss Lucy," he said. "Would you mind coming with us to speak with the Captain? He would like to hear this from you."

(Yes. I think they may be gender fluid but i have no idea. They have blue hair and it's so gorgeous.)
"If it is all the same to you sir," She murmured a little shakily at the thought of being taken in. "I would prefer to stay in my home. I need to make sure that what remains of my files and my equipment remains in tact." Lucy looked at the floor. If they took her in, they very well may not let her leave. "I will speak with your captian, but i wish not to leave my home."

Lucy bit her tongue to stop the conter that formed in her throat. She was a doctor. She had seen worse. "My only regret is that I could not save your men. Had I not be restrained I may have been able to save them." She wringed her hands again, looking sorrowful as she looked up at the guard.

Lucy answered the door. She was wiping her hands, but they were still covered in the ink that she had been cleaning up. She sighed, "good morning, Captain." She greeted quietly.

"Yes sir." She responded with a nod, starting over towards the stairs. She lead him up and into her office. The strewn papers were still on the ground and there was ink all over her desk. "He attacked me in here." She told the Captain.
