Diana took two steps backwards, her heartbeat slowly getting faster, she was looking into Fisher’s lustful eyes. Even though she knew this was exactly what he wanted to do in his office, there was no exact way to wade him off. For the main time, he was still her boss and she had to obey him. “It’s gonna be quick Diana, no one would know. Okay, here’s the thing, I’ll increase your salary, three times the normal pay. How’s that?” Fisher whispered. His awful breath stinging her nostrils, there was no way she’d let a man like this take advantage of her. What he just said irritated her the more, she felt like stabbing him in the face. “I’m not an escort Mr. Fisher, please leave me be! I’m satisfied with my payment,” Diana said, she glanced backwards, realizing that she was almost where the guards were. She had to find a way to escape, for one reason she couldn’t explain; Diana wished Simon would come through that door and save her. ‘When did he become your bodyguard Diana!’ A voice r
“What the - “ Simon paused immediately he saw that it was Diana, the different colored disco light hovering over her face. She was surprised but the soberness didn’t leave her face. Why was he here? Why was he in the dance floor? Simon had never came to the dance floor ever since he started visiting the nightclub. “Diana, I....are you okay?” Simon stuttered, glancing from her eyes, down to her body. A concerned look on his face; he wasn’t sure how he was going to tell her what he actually wanted to do. Sitting there on the stool and reminiscing on what Julia had told him, he had lost his patience and wanted fo run all the way to Mr. Fisher’s office without a second thought, it was a good thing they bumped into each other. Who knows what would have happened, if he had burst down Fisher’s door. “Yes, I am. Are you dancing?” Diana made the question seem like a joke. She wanted to clear the thoughts in her head and the soberness on her face. Even though she suspected something she didn
Simon held her gaze, raising his eye brows. She had a serious look on her face, it seems she already knew, like she just needed confirmation or she was trying to buy time for herself. He sighed and took a sip at his Negroni, pressing his lips together as the liquid burned down his throat. A quick glance at Julia, she wasn’t looking at them this time, but Simon was sure that she was eaves dropping. There was no way they’d speak for her not to hear, only if she’s busy with a customer or not paying attention. “I was worried.” Simon said the words, looking straight into the opposite blue eyes in front of him. He didn’t want to go into details all at once. This time, Diana’s confused look wasn’t fake, it was genuine, even though she had the hunch of what he was getting at. “Worried of what?” She asked, gesturing with her hands. Her eyes holding Simon’s gaze. “I was worried because of you, I don’t want to lie to you Diana, it was taking too long, so I thought something bad had happene
Diana didn’t know why tears was gathering in her eyes, nevertheless she fought back and tried to keep it from falling down her cheekbones. She could feel Simon’s palm wrapped around her wrists. She had misunderstood him and quickly judged wrongly, getting angry at him without even thinking it through properly. What she wanted now, was to be alone; she imagined how Julia was looking at her that moment. She hadn’t done anything to hurt Julia, Diana was still wondering what she had told Simon that pushed him to the wall, that he even wanted to risk his life for her again. As badly as she wanted to know, she knew it’d just add to her pain, she was better off without it. “Diana please, don’t walk out on me, I -“ Simon hesitated, sighing frustratingly without letting go of Diana’s wrist. He didn’t want to say the wrong word, if he let her go this way, there was no doubt; he wouldn’t stop thinking about it, and he wouldn’t definitely be able to forgive himself. This was what Julia wanted
Nick sighed, the ache in his heart aggravated when he saw the tears; why was he always in difficult situations. Why? He wanted to go over to her and wipe the tear that had strolled down her right eye but he didn’t. He couldn’t. He opened the door wider, giving an impression that he was allowing her to come in without saying a word. Julia swallowed the lump in her throat and wiped the tear with her thumb, she walked inside Nick’s apartment, the warm smell of coffee was the first thing that greeted her. She stopped in the small hallway, waiting for Nick to close the door so she could walk behind him. It had been so long since she came into a man’s house, doing her escort job, she never goes over to her client’s place because of safety reasons. Nick closed the door and walked past Julia, holding the cup of coffee in his hands, it was getting cold and he had only taken one sip. That was before he opened the door, now he didn’t even feel like drinking it anymore. Julia followed him in
The officer hesitated before speaking, looking directly into Nick’s eyes. “There has been another assassination in town, this morning,” Nick ran his hand through his black hair, he had forgotten all about that other case, because of Gonzalez’s case. Now that assassin was at it again, and from the little intel he had gathered. That particular assassin only operated once a week. Somehow, he felt the death of the person the assassin had killed was his fault, if only Angelina hadn’t been shot, she could have been handling it. He was starting to see the usefulness of a partner, all his life he worked alone; breaking cases and turning in culprits all by himself. Who would have thought that all these would happen, things that were so complicated that he needed a partner, and Nathe had showed him just how helpful a partner was. Remembering Nathe, he rushed into the house and grabbed his shirt from the couch. The assassin that killed Nathe’s wife, was the one running around in Ohio; he kne
“I guess you don’t remember much, he had to carry you while you were bleeding all the way here, although I’ve no idea how he did it myself. He’s a strong man I must say,” Nick explained, looking into Angelina’s surprised eyes. He hadn’t given that a thought yet, how Nathe carried her all the way here, but it wasn’t necessary anymore. He would have waved down a taxi or something. “I must thank him, has he been informed that I’m awake?” Angelina said, adjusting herself on the bed, her wounds still hurt, and her head was aching a little bit. She had lost a great deal of blood. It’d be awhile before she was discharged. Nick stood back and brushed his hair, he never knew Angelina would ask about Nathe. He should probably had called him then. “I didn’t think it was necessary. Look, Nathe is just a normal civilian, he has no relation with us,” Nick tried to convince Angelina to forget about Nathe, but his words made his heart twitch. What he just said, he didn’t believe it himself. “But
“I’ll be right back, Angelina. I’m happy to see you’re okay,” Simon said, his eyes still fixated on the woman he was staring at outside the window. He turned quickly and rushed out of the room. Angelina just stared at him in surprise, without responding. Simon walked slowly towards the receptionist counter, Diana hadn’t seen him. He wondered what she was doing in the hospital, was she sick or hurt? “Hey, Diana,” Simon called, tapping her lightly on her shoulders. He couldn’t get off the concerned look from his face. Diana shrugged, she knew who it was, and she couldn’t help but wonder what he was also doing in the hospital. She still needed time off men, she hadn’t forgiven herself for getting angry at innocent Simon. “What are you doing here, Simon?” She asked, without turning over to look at him, the receptionist was focused on the computer in front of her. “I could ask you the same thing,” Simon replied, walking over to the counter, so he could see her face. “I had a migraine
“How did he get down here.” Hatake voice was furious, it was certain that he’d be frowning behind the mask that moment. “He kept insisting that Fred knew him and he was the son of Ryan Fisher, the second notorious mafia in all of Ohio and was forcing his way through,” the guard responded. Freddy wanted to speak when the door creaked open, and Gonzalez walked in. “I did forced my way in, because my dad was kidnapped because of you.” He said walking inside the large room uninvited. Hatake was about making a move, but Freddy waved him off, trying to sit up on the large bed. “Go on Hatake, I’ll deal with this,” Freddy said, his gaze focused on Gonzalez who wasn’t smiling. Hatake stared at Gonzalez for a few seconds, then his gaze shifted to Freddy and then to the guard that was standing close to the door. He then started walking out of the room, hastily. Gonzalez watched him from the side of his eyes, as Hatake passed by him, he wondered just how good he’d be in actual combat. Fredd
“First, you’ve to tell me what really happened, Nick and I guess we’d have to fill Angelina in too, she’s looking so confused,” Simon said, glancing at Angelina. She nodded positively at him, still confused. Nick sighed, he placed his hands on his face for a few seconds, then he went over to Simon and started losing the rope they had used in bounding him to the chair. Simon felt the pain on his wrist ease out a little, he couldn’t be more happy that Nick agreed to his plan without making a fuss. This plan would help him solve all the problems in his life, with a price of him going to prison. He’d make sure he opened up to Diana before he was thrown in there. “I was almost there when it happened, but I was late. When I got there, Diana had already been carried inside the vehicle. Julia was with her, it seemed she was pushed or something. She was bleeding at the back of her head, when I got to her and they were already gone,” Nick narrated, as he finished losing the rope. “ I’m rea
“What the hell are you doing here Angelina?” Nick bellowed, scanning her from head to toe. Why was it the moment when Simon was ready to spill everything that she came rushing in, now he might decide to change his mind. He was almost there, and Angelina just blowed everything up. Maybe he didn’t really need a partner. Nick thought, frowning. Simon sighed, glancing at Angelina, she shouldn’t be here with the way she was looking. “I’m a detective too Nick, I’ve informants; one of them just told me that Ryan Fisher and one of his workers, a woman named Diana Flames has been kidnapped by unknown people. They only saw Diana being kidnapped, Fisher didn’t show up at work but his car was later found, his guards were dead but his body wasn’t there, which explains that he had also been kidnapped. That same informant told me you arrested Nathe, and that’s why I’m here, he saved my life Nick. What are you doing?” Angelina narrated everything without taking a breath. Nick covered his face in
“Hello there, guess you’re awake. Don’t worry, we’re not gonna hurt you, if you cooperate with us.” The masked man accent could absolutely tell you he was Japanese and the sword he was holding also somewhat confirmed it. “Who are you people, and what have I done wrong?” Diana felt the sharp pain at her nape as she spoke, her head was aching one sidedly. “When he’s awake, he’s going to answer that himself, for now. We need to clean you up and have you prepared while we have the chance,” the masked man said, walking over to where Diana was and he started losing the rope tied around her hands. Diana was confused, who was this “he”, the man was talking about, her mind was filled with the pictures of Gonzalez, it could only be him. How did he get back to town without the police knowing, and tried to kidnap her twice, even after losing two of his men. “I don’t want to see your boss, please; if you let me escape, I’ll give you anything in return,” Diana struggled as the masked man loosed
Julia screamed loudly, when she saw what was done to Diana, fear surging through every fiber of her being, one of the masked men pushed her because of her screaming, she staggered and fell, hitting her head on the street light pole, losing consciousness instantly. Nick had driven past the Simpsons club when he heard Julia’s scream, he increased his speed, driving to the direction of her scream, his headlights showed Julia collapsing beside the street light, while a car zoomed off. He quickly hit the brakes, and jumped out of the car pointing his gun at the vehicle that was already leaving his sight, he couldn’t even make out the plate number anymore. Nick brushed his hand through his black hair, walking hastily towards Julia, he squatted and raised her head on his lap, tapping her cheek lightly. “Julia, Julia,” Nick called, but there was no response, he felt her pulse, she was still alive. That was wen he realized the moist texture flowing at the back of her head. Blood! Nick’s
“Hey babe,”Nick frowned a little at sound of the word, she was moving too fast, he only had the sex to make her carry out this small mission, he hadn’t agreed to take her back fully. Even though he was more willing to take her back than he was before, but the thought that Diana was still out there and was being bodied by the mother fucking Simon was still eating him up. “What do you have for me?” He went straight to the point without replying to her pleasantries. “You could at least say hi,” Julia sounded a little concerned, Nick could imagine her furrowing her brow or rolling her eyes. “Okay hi, just give me the information already, there’s an emergency,” Nick replied, tapping his desk involuntarily. He heard Julia sigh on the other end and then the name came through. “Simon King, that’s it.” Julia said, her voice a little low than she was speaking previously. “Got it, gotta go now, bye.” Nick hung up the call before Julia could respond. He wasn’t ready for casual talks, not t
Freddy walked slowly down the ridge that led to the lakeside, the beach was quiet and entirely deserted, it was midnight, no one was expected to be there. He had six guards, armed to the teeth, three following behind him and three moving ahead of him. He was puffing out smokes from his marijuana as he walked; they came down the beach, only to hear a man’s yell from a far distance. Freddy immediately knew who it was, it was Ryan. “Over here Freddy!!” The guards started walking towards the direction of the yell on Freddy’s orders. As they got close, they could see him clearly. “He’s bounded sir,” one of the guards in front called out, raising his hand in a fist to halt their movement. He glanced backwards at Freddy, waiting for instructions. They were just few meters apart from each other, Freddy popped his head out to get a clear view of Ryan, he had been suspicious of this whole situation from the very start, he had wondered and thought why Ryan would call him out here just to t
Diana kept stealing glances at Julia, she had been smiling brightly all night, it seems something good has happened, but she wasn’t going to ask. They haven’t been talking to each other for quite awhile, and Diana didn’t want to be the one to approach Julia this time, the last time she tried, she was scolded. But, to her surprise; Julia did come to her herself this time, after the counter was a little free from customers, Julia came close to Diana where she was wiping spilled drinks from the counter. “Hey Diana, why aren’t you wearing an elegant smile today, did your little boyfriend offend you?” Julia started, her eyes glowing. They hadn’t spoken for some time and here she was acting like nothing ever happened between them, Diana stared at her surprisingly for some seconds before she replied. “I don’t have a boyfriend Julia, I should be asking you the opposite of that question. You seem to be in a good mood today, want to share the good news?” Diana responded, waiting anxiously f
Holding Julia very tightly, Nick released the whole thing inside of her, he then pushed to the couch panting, Julia was also panting heavily, they laid there, without uttering any words, just the sounds of their breath filling the room. Nick didn’t want to admit it, but there was no doubt that he had certainly missed this woman, the thoughts of giving her a second chance was clouding his mind, but he couldn’t quickly decide now, he might not be thinking straight. After he had finished up all of his cases, he would make his final decision, for now; all he needed to do was play the game. “I’m going to do it Nick,” Julia was the first to speak, she was staring at the ceiling as if it was what she was speaking to. “I’m going to get Simon’s other name,” she completed bringing her gaze down to Nick, whose eyes were fixed at her, with a small smile. There was no need for him to say anything more. ***Simon had been thinking about who would want to kidnap Diana, he couldn’t come up with
