(Just saying, this is G R E A T and if it's alright, I'd like to stalk)
(Fine with me!)

"I don't care." A tear fell down his cheek.
"Auggie, you have to run, I swear," she said, pulling away and pushing him towards the stairs. "Go!"
"No!", he yelled at her. If she won't run, then I won't.
Suddenly, 4 strong looking men burst through the door and spotted the pair. They began to head towards them quickly.
He stayed put. "You run!", he yelled at her.
"I can't!" she cried. One of the men grabbed her upper arm. Her eyes locked with August's. "I love you," she said quickly.
He fought his way to her and swung at the man holding her. "Let go of her and take me!"
Two other men ran over and held August against the wall while the man holding Kate was joined by a second man. They held her arms behind her back as a fifth man entered the doors. He looked very professional in a suit and smooth hair. Kate scowled at him, but he looked sharply at her and she lowered her head.
August kicked and thrashed. His foot and fist made contact, but he couldn't tell who or where he hit.
One of the men holding August grunted and pushed him into the wall roughly.
The professional man looked over at him. "Ah, Mr. Ren. I was wondering when we'd run into each other. With Kate being returned, I knew it wouldn't be long."
Kate closed her eyes. "I told you to run, Auggie…"
"And you thought he would listen?" the professional man shot back quickly, glancing at her. "Hardly."
He stopped moving. "You can take me! I don't care! Just don't mess with Kate!"
"I'm afraid that's already been done. Such a noble offer, though." He smiled and walked towards Kate. She shied away from him, but the men forced her closer. "Your wrist," he said slowly.
"Please don't… not in front of him…" she whispered.
"Is there a problem?" he asked, arching his eyebrows. "Must I inquire again – your wrist."
She slowly extended her wrist towards him.
He smirked. "Thank you." He flipped it over and ran his thumb over the inside of her wrist.
Kate gritted her teeth and winced, then completely relaxed.
August panicked. "Kate!… It's in your best interest to take me instead!"
"And how is that?" the man asked, looking sympathetic.
Kate's expression was drained of emotion.
"I won't be a problem for you anymore. Kate won't be either. I've already seen your face and I recognize you.", he growled.
"Are you supposing that you could describe me to the authorities?" he asked, arching an eyebrow.
"And what are you going to do about it?"
He smirked. "You have no power. What are you trying to offer me?" He glanced at one of the men holding onto Kate and tilted his head. The man pulled out a gun and pressed the barrel against Kate's temple. She showed no response. "It would be a pity though… she was our best experiment so far."
"You wouldn't kill her." He sounded confident, but it was really just a hope that he was holding on to.
"Wouldn't I?" he challenged. "It really would be a shame if she just… disappeared."
"Who are you going to… experiment on then?"
"We have other options," was his simple reply. The man with the gun pressed it harder against Kate's temple.
"I'm not afraid to kill.", August said. It shouldn't have come as a surprise to himself when he said that.
"Neither am I," he countered smoothly. The smirk on his face complimented the remark.
