Who: Greed and Zoe
What: Plan B in action!
When: Christmas Eve! December 24th, 5-6 am!
Where: NY subway, Greed's apartment
Warnings: Sketchy stalkers are sketchy!
Notes: Set this up early Lucky as I think tomorrow is gonna be busy for peeps! I know I get the joy of working on Christmas Eve.

It didn't take long for Greed to go out and find a suspect for his big plan. He had an entire row of these goons lined up ready for a mug shot before he settled on the right one. He could have just thrown all of them at her but then that could turn ugly fast. He just wanted to scare her a little bit. Make her run so he could swoop in as a white knight. She'd believe it, let him in enough and whisk her off to Kansas in the morning. It was pretty brilliant. Wrath or Zoe couldn't string him up if he'd saved the day!

Greed had set up everything down to the minute. It was still dark outside, the sun hadn't even risen yet. It was the right time of day when not a lot of people were bustling around the subway system. Even if it was Christmas Eve, it was still quite early, there wasn't many out aside from the homeless at the bottom of the station. The man Greed had labeled as "Idiot Joe" texted him the moment he spotted their target. Greed had overheard a while ago that every Christmas Zoe went to visit her parents grave. Sentimental stuff that humans loved to hang on to. So he knew without a shadow of a doubt that she would be there at exactly 5 o'clock. The trip was further out so there was some time for her to get uncomfortable until her stop.

Joe sat a few seats down even with a nearly empty car. He was supposed to just be a shadow that made a few faces and hoovered over her once the car stopped. Greed was supposed to be a few stops down, giving Joe plenty of time to do magic. Greed was sure he didn't get all his money until the job was done first, unfortunately the little Sin missed his train. He either sat around for another one (but by then it would be an hour or so too late and the opportunity would be missed) or he ran back to get his car. He went with option B. Which would put him a good fifteen minutes behind schedule.

Zoe didn't particularly want to go visit her parents grave. But after Theseus and his disgusting behavior, she almost wanted to go and tell her mother how much better she'd been not having that man as a father in her life. She normally had gone every year with her grandmother but her grandmother had passed away earlier in the year. Among her possessions that were sold off was her car. Not that it mattered, Zoe didn't know how to drive. She lived in New York, parking was a nightmare and she could barely make rent most months. Public transportation was her best bet.

She wore a plaid dress that could pass for festive with a coat that had a faux fur trim. She also wore black tights because it was cold with knee high black boots that had a slight heel to them. She liked the calm and quiet of the subway this early, there were only a handful of people on but she really wished someone else was in her car than the creepy guy who kept staring at her. It was making her uncomfortable but she just avoided looking at him but turned down the volume on her ipod so she could keep an ear out for stops.. or anything else.

Joe wasn't particularly old or chubby just stocky. He was a middle aged man with a salt and pepper patch of scruff covering his chin. He wore a thick leather jacket that was slightly too big for him and a pair of jeans with tears at the knees.

At the first stop he inched a seat closer. The second stop he stood looking as if he was about to get off, but that would have been too favorable for her. Instead he clung to the metal pole in front of her as if the car itself was stuffed full. Now he was just a few inches from her, a looming tower.

"Whatcha listenin' to?" he asked. His voice alone was enough to send chills up her spine. It wasn't uncommon for strangers to speak up, but it was the presentation. Greed had done well in picking out his stalker.

Zoe really wanted to be anywhere but here right now. She was trying not to judge a book by its cover (or sound) but it was hard when this guy was giving a distinctly not exactly friendly vibe. Or maybe to put it another way, an overly friendly vibe. Maybe if she politely answered his questions he'd leave her alone. “An 80’s mix..” she said, trying to seem like this was fine. It was cool. It was alright. She would reach her stop soon and this would be over.

	The man tried to continue making conversation which would have seemed polite had he not been ogling her the entire time. He clamped his hand tighter onto the pole through the jumbled ride, sliding into her personal bubble. "You goin' to see family n' stuff for Christmas?" he wiped a hand under his nose, scratching his lip. "Don't see you with anyone." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Zoe was tempted to blurt out her family was dead but controlled it and said in the same even tone, "I'm meeting my boyfriend." which was a lie. "He's 6'5", blonde hair, and could bench press a bull." okay so Gabe wasn't her boyfriend but she wished he was here now because she never got hassled by creeps when he was by her side. Mainly because she looked like a doll he was carrying around when she went anywhere with him. She pulled her coat a little tighter around herself and breathed a sigh of relief as she heard her stop being announced.

"Oh, you got a boyfriend." His smile was sinister, something akin to a serial killer. As right on cue when the train came to a stop he followed. They were the only two.

Greed was still running behind, practically running his way down the street over top to get to the station where he knew Zoe would be at this very minute. He still had five or so minutes. Joe stumbled into her shadow, not enough people around for her screams to even be heard if she chose to belt one out. Greed didn't stop to think that in picking a convicted felon it wasn't like chasing after an immortal. Zoe could still get hurt.

Zoe was beyond uneasy and didn't say anything to Joe. Just quickly got off the train and hoped it was the end of it. But nothing had gone right for her in a month, why should her luck change now? She could hear him walking behind her and getting closer and she picked up the pace walking much much faster that it was practically a jog. She hoped the man would go about his business. The place was pretty much deserted and the stop she had to get off at was one of the less populated ones. It did little to help ease her fears.

	When she picked up her pace so did her shadow. He reached out for her arm, holding to it like a leech. His grip was a bit startling, whipping her around. Greed stood just outside the entrance of the station. Joe was supposed to run her right up the stairs. He looked at his watch and then around the area. There was no sign of either of them.

Zoe let out a startled yell when he grabbed her, nearly jumping out of her skin. She would have run up the stairs if Joe didn't have an iron grip on her arm. He put a hand over her mouth to stifle her scream and moved her backwards till her back was pressed up against the wall of a column so they were hidden from at least one angle from any unsuspecting prying eyes.

His body was so close, she could smell his putrid stench and there was no room to even try to break free, "I don't see a boyfriend.." he said with that same sinister smile.

Joe had steered off course. "You are a pretty little thing. Not what I thought." Greed had described her, even shown a picture, but she was much more impressive in person. He wanted her for himself, some of Greed overflowing into his project.

Greed made his way down the steps when another thirty seconds passed and he saw no sign of Zoe. This was...too perfect when he hopped down the last step to see Joe with his Zoe. It also was not according to plan.

"Hey!" He voiced in a deep, abrasive tone.

Zoe couldn't even turn her head to see who it was, she was just thankful that someone was there and could maybe stop this creep.

Joe looked at Greed and gave a cocky smile, "You'll have your turn." Greed wanted her scared, didn't he? Zoe was breathing hard through her nose as his hand still covered her mouth and he kept her captive, her struggles pretty much ineffective with the way he had her sandwiched between him and the wall.

Greed came closer with slow steps, approaching cautiously. He gave Joe a confused look, mouthing that this was not his script. "Let her go!" He pointed a finger. Joe wasn't interested in the money anymore, which was his mistake. He was now practically on her, his tongue licking his lips. He wanted to lick that milky skin. That's where Greed drew his line. His brows lowered heavy over his eyes in a growl.

Joe didn't get what the big deal was, he frowned at Greed when he made a big fuss but wasn't too worried. He could take him. "You can have the leftovers." He was going to get what he was owed, he was just taking his payment out from Zoe.

There was fear in Zoe's eyes as the man smiled, his nose touching the side of hers, his mouth moving towards her ear, "You taste as good as you smell, sweetheart..?" any move she made, he roughly held her head in place with his hand.
