"Holy mother of pain! You--" he cut himself off, as he lifted an accusing finger at her. "I see how it is--you want to fight, huh? Okay, then, bring it on, lady. I can take whatever you want to throw at me. Bring it on."

"I don't want to fight," she huffed. "I'm just...tired of being dragged along! If you're going to stash me somewhere, do it already!"
Part of her couldn't believe she was saying something like this, but another part of her not only didn't bat an eyelish but thought of it as almost routine, all things considered.

"I'm not going to 'stash' you anywhere!" he remarked. "What'd make you think that?"

"Well, why else would you force me away from somewhere? Unless you plan on letting me go?"
This was not going the way it ought to, or how she thought kidnappers did things. It didn't help that on her end, she was reacting to him in a way that was rather unexpected.
Plus, he was far too attractive for anyone's good.

He rolled his eyes towards the ever-darkening expanse of evening sky.
"Well, you forgot to mention the fact that I'm going to take advantage of you, strangle you, and leave your body amidst bloody sheets to be discovered the next morning by the maid."

Her eyes widened a moment, but then she narrowed them at him.
"You're just saying that to scare me. It won't work."
But she had, at least for a short moment, been very startled.

"Sure, it won't," he quipped. "You keep thinking that until we get to our room. You know, if we do end up finding a place for the night. Look--if you're not going to choose a place, I might as well."

He's lying. She said as she shrugged at him.
One of those types wouldn't go through all this trouble for a mark.
Right?
"I don't even know this city very well." She mumbled.

"Oh, yeah? Then, how'd you and that British dude...uh, what's his name...Christopher! How'd you and Christopher wind up at the Hilton, which is probably the nicest place here by far?"
He angled his head.
"I think that you are lying to me."

"Christian! And he picked the hotel--oh, god, what does it matter? I still don't know this city well, it's not my home, and I've rarely spent time in it. I don't care if you believe me or not."
She was rather irritated, but then, she had a lot to be irritated about. It was this man's fault, after all.

"...yeah, right."
Sid whirled his head around, taking stock of his surroundings, before finally pointing out the dark expanse of some building just before them.
"What about that--"
He fell short of words, as he came to the realization that they'd merely come full-circle on the path they had initially set out upon. The two of them presently stood by the driveway of the Hilton.

In spite of her current situation, and the stress, and all the negative emotion swirling about in her head, when she realized what had happened, she couldn't stop herself from laughing.

He threw a sidelong glare in her direction.
"Ah, shut it. You're horrible, you know that? How come you haven't succumbed to, like, Stockholm Syndrome or whatever crap by this time?"

She was giggling a little when she answered.
"Because...that sort of thing takes a while..."

"Does it, really? I'm pretty sure I could quicken the rate at which you fall for me, though," he returned, making an exaggerated kissy face at her.
