Her Bodyguard, His Target 46– The truth like dead fish...
Hunter checked the envelope and saw two small photos. He wore a permanent frown as he held the two pictures, one in each hand. He looked from the one to the other. The one picture had the same picture of the moustache guy that he had received while he was at the mansion and a few days ago when he was with Rebecca in his house. He turned the photo and saw the familiar print: George. The other photo had a new face... and then it hit him— this was the man he met last night. He looked behind that photo and saw the word ‘Walker’. That's what he had said his name was, Walker. As Hunter looked from the black and white photo of George to the color photo of Walker, he could clearly see that they were the same person. He was just younger and old-fashioned in the black and white picture. The color picture was obviously a recent picture where he had gotten rid of the Pakistan moustache. Hunter shook his head quickly and turned to the A4 letter, ‘I am sorry. Dad.’. ‘I am sorry. Dad.’ Hunter

If this situation was as messed up as it seemed, then Hunter knew that not phoning King was the best thing he could do. It still didn't make any sense for King to murder the father and then take in the son. You'd have to be a real psychopath to do that. But Hunter believed in King. He had raised him as his own, never ever treated him like an outsider. For the rest of the day Hunter tried blocking out those thoughts. He tried to go about his day as he would if it was any other normal day. But if it wasn't George Walker and his theory he was thinking about, it was Rebecca Holland. Wondering how Angelo and Nathan were treating her. Did they buy her any food this morning? He pulled out his phone and went on UberEats. He came across some waffle restaurant on the app and checked their menu. Rebecca really enjoyed those waffles the other day, he thought. Maybe he should order her some, with an orange juice. He did just that. As he was waiting for the delivery, he took a shower and dre

Hunter shook his head after Lolita ran back into the bathroom. “It's okay. She won't tell anyone.” After a while he took Rebecca's hands in his. “I'm sorry that you had to spend the whole night in your chair.” His look was so deep yet gentle. It brushed over her features desirably, making her feel his musculinity. “I would cut you loose and let you stretch your legs but Joe and Zahn are on their way.” His voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She nodded sheepishly, only for the realization to hit her a few seconds later. “You know, all this is crazy.” She scoffed sadly. “I still can't believe it. Like am I really in love with my kidnapper?” He gave her a sad smile, maintained eye contact and then got up and pushed the chair away. His life was a mess! Joe and Zahn soon arrived but Hunter sent them out again to buy dinner for all of them. “Could have just told us when we were on the way.” Zahn had sucked her teeth and complained. When they left, he cut the cable ties around Re

“We're not savages,“ Hector King was saying. Hunter and Marco Bianchi were seated facing Hector King at his grand desk. “This is not the wild, where a mother eats her young right after giving birth to it. We're civilized people, Hunter.“ He continued. Hunter frowned at the example King layed out. He wasn't the smartest in the room but he knew somewhere deep inside that no matter how wild the wild was, there was definitely no animal that ate it's own child. “It isn't even your second month as underboss and you want to kill another of your members? “When I appointed you, I had no idea you were this...“ Hunter waited. “Perhaps Hunter should give us his reasons for wanting Angelo gone so bad.“ Marco Bianchi decided to take over. “We already know his reasons.“ King answered. “He wants respect.“ Hunter felt worthless hearing how King said it: like wanting respect should have been the last thing on Hunter's list of wants. It was clear that all this was a nuisance to King even though

Hunter watched the video of himself. Rebecca's back was facing the angle the video was taken so Hunter's face was clearly visible: he was standing there and letting Rebecca complain inaudibly. After that he hugged her and tried to calm her down. Then the kiss on the head! Could he manage to convince Angelo that nothing was going on between him and her and that the video was making the situation look like it was not? “Why are you showing me that?“ Hunter enquired. “I don't see what that has to do with anything.“ Angelo gave Hunter an arrogant grin and tilted his head to watch Hunter closely. “There's no way you could convince anyone that this video is nothing. In fact, fuck everyone else, there's no way you can convice King that there's nothing going on between you and this girl.““And what do you think is going on between me and the hostage?” Hunter shot back.“You know, everything makes sense now. Now I understand why you were always taking the bitch's side. You never want anyone to

The phone finally rang. It was Rebecca's father.“Hello?” Hunter rushed for it.“Can I please speak to my daughter?” He asked.He would have given Rob Holland a mouthful but he didn't want Rob to link him to the savior who left him the bag of money.“Hold.” Hunter then knocked on the office window briefly to get Joe and Zahn's attention. He then gestured for them to bring Rebecca.Joe cut her loose and walked her to the office. He stood by the door and watched.“It's your father. Just tell him you're fine and don't mention anything else.” Hunter told her as he placed the phone on speaker and handed it to her.Joe frowned at the gesture because normally they didn't hand phones to hostages.“Dad.” Her voice broke at the title and she began weeping.“Rebecca. My love. I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry.” Rob sounded like he was crying too. “Are you—”Rob was interrupted with loud shuffling that sounded as if the phone was moving around.“My baby!” It was Elizabeth.“Mom!”Seeing how tearful

“Zahn, here's some money for supper.” Hunter was holding out a few notes. “You and Joe can get us something to eat for tonight.”Zahn got up and took the money from Hunter. “Aight, Joe. Let's bounce.”“Why must we always be the ones to go?” Joe asked. “You go for once.”Obviously Hunter wanted some alone time with Rebecca.“Bro, you'd rather stay in this claustrophobic hole?” Zahn sounded taken aback. “I take every opportunity to leave and smell some fresh air.”“Ahg, I have no energy.” Joe said, sliding down in his seat. “Go with Hunter, I'll keep watch.”“Nah, I have to stay incase the phone rings.” Hunter told him.“It wont, it literally just rang. The guy spoke to his daughter and heard she's well, there'll probably be no more calling tonight.”“He might have questions about tomorrow so the phone might ring.” Hunter insisted.“What's happening tomorrow?” Rebecca enquired.They all turned to look at her as if they had forgotten she was in their midst.“You're going home baby!” Zahn

“I still wonder why the bodyguard gave us the money.” Rob was telling his wife. He had his elbows on his knees and his clasped hands holding up the weight of his head. “They never give anything for free.”His wife was sitting next to him on the bed that no longer belonged to him. “God works in mysterious ways.”Rob tilted his head to look at her. “God?”“Yes. Maybe we should stop overthinking it.”It was close to midnight already and they were still up waiting for Hunter to send the address. It was clear that they would only get the address tomorrow at the last minute.Rob scoffed. “God and these people should never be used in the same sentence.”“Why else would he bring you the money?”“Maybe they have a bigger plan; to kidnap me too, and the only way they can do it faster is by giving me the money I need so that I can meet them.”Elizabeth sat quiet, thinking about his explanation.“Maybe it's best our guards follow you to the meet up point.”“You heard what they said, if they notice

"Rebecca?" Elizabeth asked. "Are you okay?" Hunter asked her. She looked mortified but managed to nodd her head. Sylvester took a few steps back and then was caught before he fell backwards. "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? And then we went down to basement to Angelo. Can you just pass him the phone.""Would you like to know about our membership packages?""Tell Angelo it's about Hunter King."The lady stayed quiet for a while and then sighed. "Hold on."Music started playing on the other side of the line."Shit..." Sylvester said in annoyance. He watched the guards dragging Hunter to the side building."Hello?" At last it was Angelo."It's Sylvester, head of security for Rob Holland and—""Get to the poin

"I guess there's no talking you out of this?" Joe asked. "Like she said, you're so damn stubborn. Really. Gosh!"They were sitting on the edge of bonnet of Fred's car.Hunter looked off into the pitch dark forest. "I don't have a choice, Joe." He whispered. "Look how we're living. 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... I don't know."Hunter's face fell and he looked the other way."But we can work something out together. Let's just tell your dad and I am sure he will work something out.""If he had a sollution, we wouldn't have spent almost a week in this cabin. The guy's been in hiding himself for how many years? From the very same person. It's hopeless Joe.""No—""This is the only way.""Getting yourself killed, really? That's the best you could come up with?" Joe scracthed his head roughly.

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. I wake up every morning and devote my life to you and your family, sir."Rob sighed and then pinched the space between his eyes and lowered his head. "I know, I kn

"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 had his forearms on the bar. "What can I get for you?" Bella said, bringing her arms to the counter, leaving just a small gap between their faces. "Bring me whatever you gonna have." 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

"It's almost 3 days since that little imbecile screwed us over, finding him can't be that fucking hard." Angelo was addressing Nathan and Sean. "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. Angelo flung the back of his hand against Sean's jaw. Sean tumbled backwards and fell on top of Angelo's glass t

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. I was a scared boy who had just managed to get into his dream school, studying his dream career. "So you did the one thing Delilah said you'd do?" "Although we dated for about 5 years before that, I knew that in the eyes of the law, she was still a minor and I could get locked up if her father reported me. So I left. I didn't tell her anything. I just disappeared. "Living at the student accomodation, was all a 20 year old could ask for.
