"Remember whose girl you're talking to, Mr. Conner."

I jerked around and saw Adam kicking the entrance with a rage building inside him.
"Adam...?" I mumbled.
Luke laughed. "God, Rose. I didn't know you'd bring your manipulator here to protect you." Luke meets Adam's cold stare. "I knew you would come here, Adam." He smirked. "Long time no see."
Adam arched his brow. "I don't wanna waste my time arguing with you." He steps a bit closer to us. "You wouldn't believe it even if the God himself shows in front of you, isn't it?
"What..." Luke said, confused. "are you talking about?"
Adam blew out a breathless laugh. "You still accuse me for... your family...? You don't even believe, Rosie?"
It's been a long time since I have heard my real name from his mouth. Or he'd always call me 'Cara Mia'. It's just... good...yeah...good to hear ...uh..
"Why would I believe her after knowing that you manipulated her?" Luke's voice grew a little louder. "You even tried to manipulate the army too... but when they didn't believe you, you ran away and started your...this..." Luke gestured his hand to represent Adam. "this shit..."
I was standing, my legs buried on the floor. The scene where I was witnessing two cousins arguing was like watching an argument in an action movie.... God! Why am I even comparing them with movies!?
"That's none of your concern." Adam bit out. "I ran away just because I didn't want to get in prison for no reason at all. If I haven't done anything wrong, why would I take it on my head?"
Luke chuckled. "That's too easy for you to say, Adam. But finally," Luke meets my gaze. "You completed my task, Rose. Thank you so much for helping me."
I stiffed. What the hell was he talking about? Adam was also looking at me with his jaw tight.
"Beg your pardon?" I asked, glancing at Adam and Luke.
"Oh dear," Luke laughed again. "I am not talking about the contacts, it means nothing to me. It was just to attract Adam to see me in person, and you did it. I am proud of you, darling."
"Watch your mouth!" Adam suddenly shouts.
Luke smirked at him. "So possessive, huh? I have never seen you like that before, Adam. Impressive."
"What do you mean by, you wanted to see Adam in person?" I jumped in, ignoring the last convo. "Why?"
Luke glanced at his watch and rubs it clean. "You'll know it in few minutes." He blowed at his watch and rubs it again. "This time... Adam you'll not be spared."
This time? What does he meant by 'This time'? I looked at Adam and he was continuously examining the garage. 
Luke hooks his hand in air. "Five!" he says.
"Four!"
Oh god!
"Three!"
He's counting...
