Hunter rubbed full circles over his eyes with his index and thumb hoping it would clear his vision. There was just no way he was seeing her behind that counter. Not her. It didn't even make any sense. Miss Jackson was supposed to be a psychologist, behind a fancy desk, taking advantage of who knows who. Not here, selling waffles in a food truck.

Hunter took a few steps back as if it would take him out of this moment in time. Just then Rebecca threw her hands to her side as she finished with her bun. Somehow, she managed to restore it to its messy bun.

“What's wrong with you?” She frowned up at Hunter.

Hunter shook his head quickly and took another step back. “You... You go ahead. I'll... I'll wait in the car.”

“Nonsense!” She was wearing her beautiful smile, clueless of what was going on in Hunter's head this moment. “You know what I should order.”

Hunter looked away; he didn't want her realizing that there was in fact something wrong because then she'd pester him to tell her.

    16h30. Hunter turned away from Rebecca as the flashbacks of their twenty minutes of passionate sex kept tugging at his brain. They had two rounds and he couldn't remember which one felt the best. Now she was next to him, sleeping from exhaustion. Oh how she quivered once he's lips touched her clitoral hood. And when he licked her vulvar, she almost pulled away from the pleasure but he held onto her hips and kept her bum pinned to the sheets. As he ate her up, giving her a good four minutes before kissing her navel and creating a trail of wet kisses to her breast bone. He then sucked on her nipple and penetrated her. She moaned and grabbed his hair, pulling him closer to her. Five minutes later she was screaming: “Fuck... I'm gonna cum!” He didn't care to hush her, he was on cloud nine himself, drawing closer and closer to his finish. He grabbed her throat and went harder and harder until she wrapped her legs around him so tight. “Shit, I came...” She said breathlessly near his ear.

    Thirty minutes earlier... Rob Holland leaned back in his office chair and clasped his hands on top of his chest. “I don't know, it looks like they're giving me more time but the fact that they hadn't said anything to me about more time makes it dangerous. We don't know what they are plotting.”“I told you from the very begining, taking a loan from those guys was a bad decision.” Julia, his secretary who was sitting opposite him, said. She was a petite woman with very fare skin and dark charcoal straight hair that ended just above her shoulders. She was fifteen years younger than her boss. “I had no choice.” Rob told her. “You saw the circumstances we were in that year. I could have lost all of this if it weren't for that loan. You know it saved Three Way Factor.”Julia gave it some thought and then nodded. “Yeah... That's true. But now we don't have money to pay them back. I mean they're talking about two million now that wasn't the deal.”“And that one million we put away is our onl

    “Hunter King, you're surrounded.” A man with a black cap and dark sunglasses was speaking through a megaphone. “Let Rebecca step out of the car and once we have her I'll give you further instructions.”“Wait, is that... is that...” Rebecca squinted at the speaker and then looked over at Hunter and back. “Sylvester?” Hunter asked. “What does he want?” Rebecca quickly tried to unlock her door but it was locked. “Woaw, wait.” Hunter told her quickly. “It's just Sylvester. I want to know what the hell he thinks his doing.” She responded. “Hunter King let the Sparrow step out of the car.” Sylvester repeated. He had one hand aiming at Hunter and the other holding the speaker to his mouth. “'The Sparrow'?” She was clearly offended. “Is that some code-word nickname for me?” Hunter nodded. “Why? Why Sparrow?” She looked more interested in the answer instead of why they had been stopped at the center of a four-way stop. “Is it because they think I talk too much?” “Rebecca, sparrows don'

    Rob's face fell. “Look, I respect your decision, I mean all this was scary, for us too. But I know how much Rebecca respects you. Like I told you she's never been this okay with having a bodyguard as she's been with you.”Hunter nodded. “I liked you from the very beginning. I knew that you were more than capable of taking care of my daughter and I even told my wife the other day that I think we had finally found the perfect bodyguard for her. I was thinking of employing you permanently after your four weeks were over…” Rob was looking at Hunter expectantly, hoping this new job offer would make him change his mind. “I know it's not an easy job and as a bodyguard you live for somebody else and don't get to live your own life. And for a man your age that's not easy so I'm prepared to double your pay if you stay.”Hunter didn't care about the money. He would be recieving five times that amount on the 1st next month when his capo's paid him. Even so, the point was that he couldn't continue

    Pedro ran Joe through the etiquettes and rules of being a bodyguard. He taught him everything he needed to know about doing the job in just twenty minutes. Something you would have had to train for one to three months was taught to Joe in twenty minutes. Joe bobbed his head and asked a few questions along the way. Hunter stood against the uniform wardrobe and watched the class unfold. Pedro was seated behind his desk and Joe was on the chair accross from him. “I think we're all done.”“That's all?” Joe asked. “I also think you're a faster learner than Hunter there.” Pedro smiled at Joe. “He told me it took him weeks.”“Well, thank you sir.” Joe was gleaming back as though he was handed a certificate. Hunter shook his head, stepping closer to them. “Whatever... You know it's true.” Joe bragged, turning in his chair to face Hunter.“On a serious note though, you understand exactly how you're supposed to do this job right?” Hunter asked Joe, his face revealing how much he didn't want J

    Pressing the gun hard against the side of his leg, Hunter made his way up her driveway. He took the three steps that lead to her porch. He looked back to see if no one was watching him. No one. He looked up at the sky, there were no stars visible just a huge round moon. The whitish grayish of the moon lit up the night sky. It would have been a perfect evening for couples to have a picnic on a mountain somewhere or cuddle on a sofa and watch a romantic movie. But for Hunter, this was a perfect day to murder his childhood psychologist and kill the pain that had been living inside of him ever since his first meeting with her. He stood in front of her white hooden door and tried the door handle slowly and slowly it swung open, allowing him in. As the door swung, it made a creaking sound. Hunter stood by the door and surveyed the room. There was a black cat on her couch and when it saw Hunter it jumped off the couch and raced upstairs. This kind of reminded him of how cartoonists exagger

    Hunter looked down at the pool of blood flowing from under Wendy Jackson. He knew that he had to leave her house and fast, but he couldn't move. Even though he had finally ended the life of his childhood molester, he still did not feel any better. He didn't know how long he had stood there watching her still body, the sounds of sirens were what took him out of his fixature. He ran down her stairs and out of her house, leaving it wide open. He got into his car and speeded off...When he parked in front of his house he ran in and locked the door. He hurried to his bathroom and looked himself in the mirror. He was supposed to feel better now that Wendy Jackson was dead, but no, he didn't. Instead, looking at himself now, he didn't know what he felt, just anxiety. He paced in his bathroom and then pulled out his phone. He phoned Rebecca. She didn't answer. He tried again. No answer. And when it went straight to voicemail the third time. He called Joe. Joe answered right away.“Yes?” Joe so

    Joe had reclined the car seat way back and was laying and browsing his I*******m. He had been out here for almost two hours waiting on Rebecca to come out. He was bored, tired and starting to feel sleepy. It wouldn't kill to get in a few minutes of sleep before she came back, would it?Hunter and Angelo were parked a few streets from where Joe was. Hunter was sitting in the passenger seat of Zahn's car, watching Zahn devour a Big Mac burger.“Bro,” Zahn spoke with a mouth full of fries. “We've been here for almost an hour. Where's Joe with the girl?”“He's waiting for her. I'm sure they'll be here soon.” Hunter replied. The only thing he had eaten since morning was the waffles he had with Rebecca but somehow he was not hungry. Maybe he would eat something after all of this was over and Rebecca was safely in Point Z.“This is taking forever, man.” Zahn complained.“I know...” Hunter felt even more furious at Rebecca. He just couldn't help wonder why in the world she was taking so long a

"Sir, are you okay?" One of his men asked him. Sylvester grunted. "I... am shot." He dropped the gun to the floor. The wound was on his left upper arm and was bleeding profusely. Rebecca's palms flung to cover her mouth as she watched the guards rush to provide Sylvester with medical attention. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..." Rebecca was shaking. Hunter came to hug her. "It's okay, you didn't pull the trigger, he did." "But still—" "Let's get out of here." Hunter placed an arm around her and they quickely made for the gate. "Rebecca!" Elizabeth was crying behind them. "Get in, get in." Hunter opened the car door for her and then shut it. He could see cars approaching in high speed. "Shit..." There was only one way out of here, and it was the same way the cars were coming, the othe

    Sylvester took out his phone and phoned Angelo. It rang and rang. Sylvester thought it would go to voicemail but then he picked up."Hello?" It was a female."Who is this?""You called me, who are you?""I got this number from the card at the reception. Is this not Angelo's gym?""This is Better Life Gym." She responded."Exactly." Sylvester said. "Can you get Angelo on the phone.""I don't know who that is, sir.""Cut the crap lady. I was there yesterday with Rob Holland, the billionaire. Remember me?

Doing this gets all of you immunity.""Maybe there's another way." He placed a hand on Hunter's shoulder."What way?"Joe stared back at him desperately, the desperation was reflected back. "Uh...

    Hunter laid topless on their bed, facing the ceiling. He and Rebecca had just made love and she was now sleeping on top of his chest. "What are you thinking about?" She asked him. He smiled. "Nothing." "You sure?" She looked up at him. "Not thinking about 'sending me back to the palace'?" He frowned and then looked at her. "You were eavesdropping?" "I didn't intent to, but the walls of this cabin aren't that thick. I can hear George snoring right now." "Sorry if it sounded rough." He responded. "Sorry if it looks like I'm getting tired of always being locked up." Hunter scoffed. "Are you being sarcastic?" "Do you remember what you told me while we were still at the warehouse?" "What?" "You said that when everything was over, we'd live a normal life. That you'd stop that work and we'd be together like normal people." "Yeah..." "Well, you left your work, but I just want to know when we will be able to live like normal people again." Hunter sighed. "As soon as your dad pay

    "We're not stabbing that man in the back." Rob said as he entered the passenger side of his all black SUV."You know, I don't get it, sir." Sylvester responded. "You're gonna keep choosing Hunter, even if it's over your daughter?" "I am not choosing him over Rebecca, I am trying to protect them both." Rob stood his ground. "Protecting him is not gonna get us far, sir."Rob thought for a few seconds and then responded. "I am not leaving him out to dry. He doesn't deserve it.""He's the reason we're in this mess in the first place. He kidnapped miss Rebecca." Sylvester started the car. "With all due respect, I think you're forgetting that.""You know, you keep saying 'with all due respect' but don't seem to be giving me any. I said we are not turning on Hunter and you should respect that.""My job is to protect your family.

    "Don't ever look for me because you will never find me. Take care of yours and I will take care of mine. Bye forever." That was the note that had come with the baby.Although George didn't understand the second sentence, he placed the note on their coffee table and took the wailing baby out of Stella's hands. It was his first time carrying a baby, and he feared holding him too tight or not holding him firm enough and drop him. As he tried to craddle the baby, his heart pounded. The baby had light brown skin and not much head hair. His mouth was pink and his wails were woarse."Shh shhh..." George tried walking around the room trying to sooth it. "Is it a boy or a girl?" He asked his mother."It's a boy." George looked at the baby's face and fell in love. "But how could she just leave you like that, little guy?" He asked."Because she's crazy that's why." Stella responded. "She knows you're studying full time and I am working full time. How are we gonna take care

Nathan gave her a smirk and handed her the money. She gave him a flirtatious smile and went away to get him something. When she came back she passed him their strongest whiskey. "Is that all you got for yourself?" He asked her. She raised the shot she had in her other hand. "Unfortunately, I'm on the clock. Cheers." She then drank up and was about to walk away but he grabbed her arm over the counter. "I just have a question." He said. "The girl that was working here before you, Rhita. Do you know where I can find her?" "Stop flirting with the customers and move on, Bella." Her boss yelled from the other side. She rolled her eyes at him. "I am not flirting with nobody!" She yelled back and then turned to Nathan as he let her hand go. "You just said she worked here before me. Don't

"The guy is a ghost, man, no social media, no family we can link him to, no girlfriend, well he took his girlfriend with him..." Nathan responded. "And friends..." Sean added. "Exactly. We can't track his phone because it's not on." Nathan shrugged. "What about his friends' phones?" Angelo enquired. "Joe's phone has been off too. They obviously ditched their phones." Sean said. "And the gay one?" Angelo asked. Nathan and Sean exchanged looks. "We don't have her number, bro." Sean replied. "Yeah." Nathan agreed. Angelo's top lip curved upwards. "You don't have her number? So that's why we don't find Hunter, that's why we just let it go and move on?" "How else are we gonna track her without knowing her number?" Sean asked.

    After sitting in silence, Walker began getting up. "You know, you would think that after all these years, talking about this would be easy but..." Hunter watched him slide his hands in his pockets and face away. Hunter didn't pressure him, he sat there waiting for Walker to continue the story. A few seconds later, "My mom convinced me that the best thing to do was to run away. To go live with my aunt in another town until the company considered my request to pay for my accomodation at the student residence." Walker took a long pause. "And I did.
