If there was one thing that Amber hated more than having to follow this pricks' orders it was hearing anyone talk the way he just did.  Amber ended people's lives on a daily basis before this mission started, so she knew exactly how valuable life was, even for the undead.  She raised her hand and punched at him when he came over to her.  "Life is the most valuable thing anyone has.  Even an undead monstrosity like you.  How can you say you have nothing to live for when your sister just came back to you.  If you lose one reason then fight like fucking hell to either get it back, or find a new one.  I've lost plenty of things but you don't see me laying down and dying.  Hell I was hiding in a closet, watching as my brother, the only family I had left was brutally murdered.  So why don't you stop throwing your fucking pity party and thinking about how your choices affect the people around you."  She hadn't meant to bring up her brother, but at least Alec didn't know that he had been her brother's killer or he might start putting the pieces together.  Which she really didn't need.<br/><br/>"I'm like an animal, Alec, I never let down my gaurd.  If you're gonna try something go ahead and try it, or are you really so weak that you'd stoop to tying me up in my sleep?"  She said as she stood there defiant. She wasn't about to just give in to what ever the hell Alec wanted.  That just wasn't her style.  She was the kind to go down dancing.  She couldn't read his thoughts, but she knew his kind.  They wanted what they wanted and didn't care what it took to get it.<br/><br/>"He's just throwing himself a perpetual pity party, that's all.  He's just needs someone that won't let him wallow in his own self pity.  I think his new slave will do a good job of that.  Shelly and I've known Amber for over 3 years that girl could get shot and worry more about the person next to her than her own wound.  She's selfless, it's just an odd way that she expresses this." Adelinda said as they brought out about ten different cars as the rest of the group of friends began to show up.  "It's nothing agains you Marz, but you don't seem like the kind of person to fight, and do whatever it takes to make him see the truth, even if he really doesn't want to see it.<br/><br/>Blake, Christopher, and Monica were the first to show up. The races were really the only time that Monica and Blake didn't act like they wanted to kill one another.  Shelly came next and she pretty much tackled Marz.  She was wondering how he was holding up today, since this was a lot earlier than he usually came out.  Maize wasn't by her side which was a bit odd, even if the sun was blaring he hated being apart from her, but hye had some big cases today so he didn't have much of a choice.  Being the best lawyer in LA had its downfalls.
