The compliments he gave her were nice, but it did nothing to boost her self-esteem. It even made it slightly worse. After all, he was complementing the transform she was wearing which looked nowhere near her real self. Nonetheless Alyson tried to look flattered and went along when he pulled her off the sofa. It wasn’t until he pressed her back down Alyson felt how muscular he actually was. Somehow, it was bothering her she noticed these things. This guy was trying to give her to the authorities and earn money for it and here she was, flirting and actually meaning it. [i]”You whore.”[/i]

When he pressed a cold beer into her hands, Alyson took a quick sip but tried to remain feminine. Damn, she was thirsty. Quietly she followed him with her eyes as he tried the good cop instead of the bad one. It made her smile a little. He wasn’t convincing her at all that he would let her go after finding this ‘Alyson’.

“You cannot blow up the planet. I saw the missiles your ship carries and it won’t even bring a dent to it. You’ve got to try better than that, Flynn.” She was clearly mocking him. But he wasn’t done. A painful silence made Alyson nervous to the bone. He was staring at her, and that kind of stare only came after realization. As he walked over to the table, Alyson knew something was terribly off. Quickly, she took a sip of her beer to act casual but the beer did not taste her anymore. He wanted to scan her for any devices. This was a complete nightmare! He’d find the earpiece, take it off, disconnect it and voila. She was done for. Her only hope was that he wouldn’t recognize her right away. She did change quite a bit since that picture was taken. Her acne was non-existent anymore and her hair was much longer than on the picture. Also, it seemed to be a lot darker on the picture. 

Alyson leaned in to place her beer on the table in front of her, which acted as a barrier between the both of them. With a deep sigh she sat up again, looking into Flynn’s eyes. “Fine.” She swallowed and clenched her hands together. “Let’s make a deal.” She pointed at the timer, which now counted 20 more minutes. “When we reach the planet, I will take you there. I cannot promise Alyson will be there though.” Alyson quickly looked up into his eyes, and smiled a little nervously. Lowering her eyes back at her hands she mumbled: “But don’t scan me. I am actually not that cute.. I ehm..” Her cheeks getting slightly red as she spoke. It was true how she felt, so her words sounded very sincere. “I am not beautiful, never been, never will. But at least this skin gives me the confidence I need.” It was a long shot, but she already gave him what he wanted anyhow: acces to the planet and hint on where Alyson might be.
