Her Bodyguard, His Target 51– Fuel to fire
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
Her Bodyguard, His Target 53– So-called friend
“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

“Get her out of here.” King gestured toward Zahn who was fast asleep and snoring in the office.Hunter shook her by the shoulder in an attempt to wake her. “Bro, bro.”Zahn cleaned her teeth and shrugged Hunter's hand away. “I'm pretty sure my time is not up yet.” She responded sleepily.“Bro, you need to leave—”“Bro!” Zahn snapped at Hunter. That's when she opened her eyes and saw King standing there.She quickly hopped off the table and stood at attention, lowering her head out of respect for King.“Boss...”“Please give us some space.” Hunter told her.Zahn looked from Hunter to King and then nodded. “Of course, I'm sorry.” She then left the office and closed the door behind her.King allowed some silence before he proceeded as if allowing the air to settle. He leaned against the edge of the table, placing one of his legs in front of the other.“Go on.”Hunter blinked blankly. He wished he could ask him, 'Go on about what?'. But it was obvious to Hunter that somehow King knew ab
Her Bodyguard, His Target 1– Little orphan
Hunter felt a firm grip on his shoulder. Without looking back, he already knew who it was. It was a cold Friday night and him and his friend Joe had chosen to come to Fellas Corner with only one motto for the night 'No leaving until wasted'. But now he knew, he might not be able to stick around long enough to even feel tipsy. Hunter looked back and saw Hector King standing behind him. Hector nodded at him and then began walking away slowly. Hunter knew that he had to follow after his boss. “What happened?” Joe asked Hunter. Hunter shrugged, stepped off the stool and gulpped down the last of his whiskey. “You're probably not coming back, are you?” Joe asked him. Hunter didn't respond, he just grabbed his leather jacket from the bar and shook Joe's hand bidding goodbye. He took one last long pull at his cigarette and then placed it in the ashtray. He then followed Hector outside. At the door of the bar were too very sexily dressed women and he walked out backwards looking at them.
Her Bodyguard, His Target 2– Old debts
The all black SUV pulled up softly in front of 32 Small Street, Windsor, Suningtan. A quiet and posh neighborhood. The houses here were all double stories and had gardens that looked so perfect it looked fake. Posh cars were parked on their driveways, all of them except for Marcus Grayman's driveway. There was no car. The men had switched off all car lights so it would be harder to spot them. Although it was dark, 11 at night, there were street lights in the street which pretty much luminated over everything. So there was not much cover.It had taken them 4 long hours to get to Suningtan from Bellerose. But Hunter was used to this. One time, Hector flew him and a few of the other men over to Japan to settle the rivalry between their consumers, two Japanese drug lords. Hector had only gotten involved because the Boryo-feisu rivalry between the Boryokuda drug lord and the Sukafeisu drug lord had caused a big drop in supply and demand and it was affecting King's income. 'Nothing gets in
Her Bodyguard, His Target 3– Underboss
Hunter pulled up in front of Hector King's mansion. He could see Joe waiting at the sliding gate. Joe was wearing a beige hoodie and khaki pants with white sneakers. He always had the best sense of style.A few feet ahead, Hunter could see Joe's batted 2008 Opel Cadette parked. Yes, Joe might wear the latest sneakers and always stayed on top of fashion trends but he seemed stuck back in time when it came to cars. He always said that the best car models were the ones made before 2009. What a joke. And since he didn't have a solid reason for keeping his worn out car that was handed down to him from his grandfather, everyone just assumed that he was stingy and didn't want to spend on gas or anything else for that matter unless it was clothes and alcohol.Hunter got out of his 2019 Mercedes Benz and pulled off his shades as Joe raised a hand to catch Hunter's attention as if Hunter would miss him in plain sight. Hunter looked up at the blazing sun and then clumsily pulled off his leather j
Her Bodyguard, His Target 4– The lion's beautiful prey
Joe rushed down the stairs as Hunter followed suit, trying to catch up. Joe looked mad. Although he hadn't said anything to King about what really went down and just stayed silent through King's millionth repetition of the Grayman story and watched Hunter entertain King by laughing and nodding occasionally, Hunter could see that Joe was upset! It was so easy for Joe to sit there with a long face because King had only been looking at Hunter throughout their fifteen minutes there. When Joe rushed out the front door and began stomping down the descent, Hunter began jogging after him. “Joe! Joe man.” Hunter called after him. “What?” Joe answered, not stopping. “Can you at least hold up?” Joe only stopped walking when he got to the sliding gate and was waiting for it to open wide enough for him to go through. “Joe, man.” “What bro?” Joe turned to him and snapped. “Relax man. What's wrong with you?” Hunter asked him. "What's wrong with me? Really?” Joe answered and then walked out th
