Sean couldn't help but smile at their little taunt. It was true though, a girl like Acacia wasn't bound to stick with one man. Especially with the little 'job' she was running. She was undercover in a society that was built upon lies and deceit.
Playing well enough, Sean's ears perked up at the sound of Falco's name and the mentioning of drugs. So they weren't afraid of talking about their business in front of him, he mused, glad for that fact. As the next card was placed down and Sean's turn came back around, the two men from earlier had already folded. Deciding to take his chances, he placed his bet a little high. His cards were good, though there were better pairs out there. He didn't want to interrupt their talk though with his own words, so instead he laughed as another man was pissed as his baseball team had just lost the playoffs. Best pretend he wasn't interested unless they brought him in on the conversation.

The little games she played came at a high cost should she ever be caught but that just added to the thrill. It was fun, an adrenelin rush to the heart to walk around all these important men and play them like toys. Sitting next to Philipe she slipped of a heeled shoe then brushed her feet teasingly along his pants. He wasn't such a strong man she realised as she snuck a look at his pants.
His excitement gave him away and now she'd have him hook line and sinker. She liked him, he'd be the best fun tonight especially as she was able to switch talking to greek. It gave them that much more privacy and made it easier to manipulate him. Here he thought he had a pretty little lady who he could get with and speak greek with for the night. Silly man.
" Well how would you deal with Faclo?" Samuel querried. " Apart from shoot the little brat in the head?" Jack spoke somewhat angrily, his obvious hatred for Falco plain and clear. " Careful, Acacia is there." Samuel reminded him. " That little thing?" He spoke not at all worried. " She works the bar for Faclo and occassionally dances, she likes the rich and wild lifestyles. She's not a problem. She'd as soon as work for you if you offered her the right deal. " That seemed to make Samuel more relaxed. " Besides. I don't see why you let that little punk take over our streets. We owned this part of town and now you've let that kid take over. 'bout time we got back what was ours."

As the game continued on, Sean couldn't help but feel a little nervous, at least for Acacia's sake. It was obvious that they didn't think much of anything of her. She was just something pretty to look at. However, that made it all the more dangerous if they were to find out who she really was and why she was actually here. Glancing over to find her toying with their other target, he couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly. She was good at teasing and acting like the kind of girl they all thought her to be. Sean would have probably been tricked too. He wasn't the 'strongest' when it came to dealing with very attractive women.
As the talk came on more about Falco, Sean had to really hold himself in and not make it obvious that he was listening. It seemed that Samuel was more suspicious of Acacia but that had been quelled by Jack. Though the thing that had really caught his attention was the aggressive talk that their target was spewing. He didn't know if Falco thought of him as a threat, if not, he needed to start thinking that way. This man was not going to work for him, cooperate or anything. Jack would rather Falco dead in the gutters.

They had a mutual understanding, both men disliked Falco equally. " If you really wanted to get back at him though all you have to do is start with something that would hurt him the most. " Jack said lowly. " What's that?" Samuel asked. " Isn't that easy to tell. Though Sean might be reluctant to share her." Fixing Sean a cold hard stare he then chuckled. " Or there's her brother. Didn't they all grow up together?" Samuel questioned. " Benjamin?" Jack asked. " Yes that's him." Samuel answered. " It would hurt Falco more if he lost Acacia, or that loud mouth Ethan." As they plotted Jack snuck a sly look at Acacia.

And now the conversation was taking a turn for the worse. Sean didn't like how this was going at all. Continuing the game as though he had ignored the glare at him, Sean secretly tried to catch Acacia's eye. Anytime they weren't looking at him, he glanced towards her, eyes looking desperate to, trying to show that she needed to come here. He couldn't just get up unfortunately. That would signal them to be suspicious of him listening and that would just cause more problems then were already happening.
He was worried though, that if they didn't get out of here, Acacia was going to have some issues with these men. Whether they were going to try and put a bullet through her head or kidnap her, Sean was there to stop it...any way necessary.

Out of the corner of her eye she caught Sean looking at her before looking away keeping it subtle so as to not be noticed. Tilting her head she blew him a kiss a plan already hatched in her mind. " If you'll excuse me, I think my guest is missing me Philipe." She explained.
Standing up she walked over to Sean her hips swaying. Something had gone wrong and the only way she could think to get away was to make a scene of a different kind. " Hi boys." Moving to Sean she kissed along his neck and then moved infront of him before he got the chance to possibly blow her cover and freak out on her. Hands on his face she manouvered herself into his lap.
" You said you'd take me home." She purred seductively into his ear. Knowing full well everyones eyes at the poker table were on her she decided to give them a show. " I want to go home now..." She spoke meaningfully. Slipping a hand into his shirt she brushed a nail along his collar bone all the while hoping Sean seriously wouldn't freak out on her. For his sake and hers she seriously wanted him to go along with her little display. Lifting her head she brushed her tongue along his lips" One little kiss and then we go?" She whispered. Inching forward she gave him a light peck on the lips before realising it probably wouldn't be enough. She never did that, when she went about buisiness she went in guns loaded. Applying more pressure she kissed him hard her hand moving to grip his. " Take me home?" She said breaking the kiss.

Inwardly sighing a breath of relief when he saw Acacia making her way over. However that relief was replaced by shock as he suddenly had a very beautiful and seductive woman on his lap, making a scene. His eyes widened at first but of course, he wasn't stupid and could tell...at least he hoped, what she was trying to do.
Inwardly freaking out as she began kissing him, he composed himself and played it off cool with a cocky smirk. As her hand took his, he used his other and buried it in her hair at the back of her head. He kissed her back, telling his body, repeatedly, that this wasn't for real and he needed to calm down...but there was no telling a depraved mans body to relax when there was an attractive woman making out with him. As she broke the kiss and told him to take her home, he smiled and pet her hair gently. "Whatever you want, kitten." He called her, the first pet name that came into his mind. Moving her off of him as he stood, he glanced at the other men and gave them a smile. "It was good playing with you guys, maybe another time. I am needed elsewhere." Looking back at Acacia, he wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her close. Of course he wasn't stupid about how to act, though he was positive that he was going to get an earful in the car. He probably was doing more than he needed too.

Acacia was inwardly relived, Yes he'd freaked out but she had to hand it to him the guy had the brains to keep his lips zipped and not make a scene. As he kissed her back though her own mind reeled though she had the sense not to act suprised. What caught her of guard the most that he wasn't a bad kisser. Suprised, and mostly annoyed at herself for thinking that she pulled away.
With a lick of her lips she nodded her head standing up and awaiting Sean. Leaning into him as his hand wrapped around her waist she smiled politely. " Bye boys." She said coyly. For some reason she started to feel self conscious as they walked to the car. Remaining silent and still keeping up pretenses she pressed tighter against Sean as they walked out of the house. Scanning around she kept her lips sealed shut not game to ask him questions untill they were in the safety of her car. Unlocking her car she still refused to allow him to drive it as she got into the drivers side. " So?" She asked jumping straight to the point. " What went wrong?"

Sean let out an audible sigh of relief as they got into the car. It was obvious that he had been expecting to be yelled at or something. To his relief she went strait to the point and wanted to know what exactly had gone wrong. Leaning back into the seat, he glance with one eye open to Acacia. "Jack absolutely hates Falco. He would rather a bullet in his head then anything else and there was talk of taking back what was apparently 'theirs'." He paused for a minute and then turned his body a bit sideways in the chair.
"They were going to go after you. They think you are nothing but a play girl who likes the rich life, but they know that you grew up with Falco. They thought about going after Benjamin or Ethan but they said you would cause more hurt to Falco. I didn't want to risk them making a move tonight." He explained, hoping she wouldn't get on him for jumping the gun, and it was alright they wouldn't try anything. Sean didn't trust those kinds of men and he sure as hell wasn't going to risk his own hide by having something happen to Acacia.

Acacia rolled her eyes slightly. " Someone hating Faclo..now that's a suprise. "However she shut her mouth as Sean continued. " What is theirs..." She mused to herself more trying to think of what Faclo had done to the men. He'd destroyed their trade, taken over their streets there were plenty reasons they'd hate Faclo.
" Me?" Although she appeared to be calm his words had taken her of guard. Concentrating on driving she pulled up at her house parking the car in the garage. Closing her eyes for a moment she sighed shaking her head slightly. " I told him I didn't want to go there..." Falco was deliberatly putting her in the firing line. " Now I know why you came. He would've known what they were planning." Looking at Sean she went to say something then decided against it. " My brother?" It wasn't good that those men had worked out how close they were all. People weren't told Acacia and benjamin were related and no one knew they all grew up together, they only suspected that those who were higher up knew eachother well, but she was high up and no one knew who she was. " They know....someone knows." She couldn't hide her alarm even if she wanted to. " Someone there knows what I do, who was it you heard talking?"
Trying her best not to panic she walked out of the car but now her head was spinning and her legs felt like jelly. You could play a dangerous game for so long but sooner or later it would come back and bite you on the ass. Is this what would happen now. If someone knew about her, then her position in the gang was compromised. Things were getting to heavy. Malone would kill her if he thought she was of no use.

Though it was so very subtle that Sean didn't realize it at first, he had the sneaking suspicion that underneath of the cool exterior Acacia was putting off, that she was really a bit upset by the whole thing. He could have been off by a mile, but if he was in her situation, he would be quite upset really.
Then it was obvious as the alarm came through in her voice. "Um..it was Samuel I think his name is and Jack of course." He told her as he got out of the car and followed her. She didn't look to good and wasn't sure what he should do about the situation. "Maybe you should call Falco." He suggested, knowing it was something silly to even say.

Acacia noodded her head Jack wasn't a worry, she knew he didn't suspect her or what she really did. Though she didn't put it pass them in trying something.
At his words though she looked at Sean unsure for a moment but then not wanting him to realise her fear she moved to the stairs. " Faclo will be busy with Malone..." Pausing she looked at Sean, maybe it wouldn't help him to know the how the situation could play out. " If Malone thinks our cover is gone...then to him we are expandable."

"Figured as much." Sean sighed and scratched the back of his head. As she moved towards the stairs, he wondered if she would be alright. Sure she had a gun and he didn't doubt that she knew how to use it, but was it really safe. Glancing at her and then towards where he lived, he groaned and rolled his eyes at himself.
"Do they know where you live?" He questioned, looking at her seriously, what he was going to offer probably apparent. Well there were two things he could offer. Stay with her or her come over to his place. He wasn't trying to get into her pants, or rather under her dress at the moment. He didn't want his ass on the line because he left her alone and they sent a hit out on her. Now that would be just dandy wouldn't it... "I just am a bit worried if they do, they might try and send someone out to...you know..." He added, shrugging his shoulder, once more his right lower than his left one.

Acacia tilted her head a soft laugh escaping her lips. " Look around my apartment Sean.." She began. " I'm quite vain and like to be noticed. Of course they know where I live." She replied in an uncaring tone.
" What's the worse that could happen?" Shrugging she continued up the stairs into her appartment. " A bullet from them, a bullet from Malone?" Really it's what it would possibly come down to. " I have to fix this, and tonight." Moving to the kitchen she turned on the kettle. " Or i'm dead, possibly you also, as it is...Malone is just waiting for an excuse to get rid of me anyway."

Following her, he shook his head. Whatever, it wasn't his responsibility too----oh wait it was. "A bullet from anyone is good enough to kill and I don't want that to happen. Not only would that get my ass torn to shreds but it would also cause someone, meaning you, to die pointlessly" He shrugged his shoulders but said no more.
"How do you want to solve it then? I can help in any way possible." He asked and walked over towards her, though leaving a respectable amount of room between them. Though as he saw Acacia put on the kettle he smiled goofily and asked, "Oh, are you making tea?" Almost as though he had been sidetracked completely.
