102. “So, just asking… don't look at me like that Rich. You know I love you and I always got your back and that's why I want to know and if not from you, from who else?” Joey defended quickly after he saw the look Richard was giving him.Richard wasn't a fan of talking about his issues and he didn't have many friends.But from that day he talked to a boy who was being bullied from home to school, he had a person stuck to him as a parasite and he liked Joey's talkative nature and Joey didn't seem to mind even when Richard was quiet.All Joey did was talk for the both of them until Richard grew fond of him and well… here they were.Richard knew for sure that Joey would rather die than tell anyone anything about him and that was why he was here answering the man's questions.“Ask," Richard said and Joey beamed.“If she didn't plan to get you, how did you know that she was the one who you did it with?Of all the women who could have come your way, why her?" Joey asked, trying to analyse t
103. “So, it wasn't a dream? It was all real?" Macy asked as she sat on the bed.Joey was done examining her and he had concluded that she was alright.They had both been surprised that they had been talking for two hours and that's why they hadn't even thought of looking in on her.But Macy was a fighter and no sickness has ever been able to put her down.“No. It wasn't a dream," Richard answered as he held her hand.Macy looked at the interconnected palms and felt strange.When Richard first asked her to be with him, she would never have thought that they have more together than Mel and the love she had tried to deny because she wasn't pure, according to her standards.But who would have ever thought that she fell in love with the same man who took her first?She couldn't believe it and she had been so shocked that she ran a fever but she was okay now.“Yo, Rich…” Joey called with a smile that told Richard that he wasn't going anywhere and wanted an intro."Don't you have anywhere t
104. Macy looked at the caller ID and it was a new number. A number she hadn't saved in her phone book and she didn't answer.Richard didn't say anything as he looked at her and continued holding her had playing with her fingers.“So, have they been located? Maxwell, that is," Macy asked to break the tension she could feel brewing between them.She knew that Richard felt guilty for her breakdown but she wanted him to know that it wasn't any fault of his. “It wasn't your fault you know," Macy said looking at him kindly.He seemed lost in thought as he hadn't even answered hernqiestion yet.“What? Oh, sorry. Cash is still looking for them but he tells me he's on their trail. I am trying to think who might be helping them,” Richard said because something didn't feel quite right.He knew that Maxwell was just a doctor and even if he had money, it wasn't to such an extent that he could hide.Thay would only mean that someone was helping them hide. Someone who either didn't know that the c
105. Macy rode to the address and it took her roughly forty minutes and that meant that she was there before time. She had a few minutes to spare but what meant that she had time to survey the property and maybe get a hang of it.The address she had been given was an abandoned factory. It looked like it was once a paper factory since there was a lot of empty pulp drums lying around empty and all dried up.She went inside the old and dirty premises and it was all quiet.The only sound she could hear was the sound of her boots connecting with the floor softly.She knew the silent foot and she thus walked silently and she could only hear the sound of the boots because she had a trained ear.The silent foot was where one would walk silently no matter the size of their feet or the type of shoes one was wearing. It called for one lightening their legs and making the torso carry most of the weight.This is achieved by bending outwards at an angle of seventy five degrees and then projecting t
106. “... and then, to make sure that your enemy is intimidated enough, you have to have the safety off at least and then cock it," she said that as she demonstrated.By doing that, she was able to tell that it was loaded.“Did you get it?" She asked the man who still seemed dazed and then turned as to the only woman in the group was sneaking up on her.Macy lifted her right foot and hit her at the chin and that had her mouth gawk and then she dropped with a thud out cold.They all looked at the unconscious girl and then at Macy in awe including Angela.“How? You… ho…” Angela couldn't find the words she wanted to say."If we were close, I could have told you that I am a black belt in karate,” Macy said and Angela gawked. You… you said that she was just a girl and that we would be able to subdue her! What's this now?” The man who had led her to the room asked Angela and he seemed angry."I thought she was. Who could have guessed that she knew how to use a gun or fight?” Angela was get
107. “She's a bad ass, don't you think?" Richard smiled as he said to Cash who looked at him as if he had lost his mind.When Macy left the villa, the people put in place to watch the place obviously called the big boss and I formed him that she had left.Richard had it in place secret agents to watch over the place for the security of his family but never in a million years would he have thought that the woman who had just run a fever for a whole night would have the energy to leave the villa.The men followed her as they were told and May, who was keeping an eye on Angela, knew that she had left her hideout and decided to go check where she was going.May knew that Angela had something planned when she saw her drive with a taci out of the city into an abandoned factory where there were no signs of any life.May watched as the gang walked in and she decided to wait and see what she was planning and one can imagine May's shock when she saw her boss's wife ride in, in an expensive moto
108. “Stay in the car if you don't want me to get mad," Richard hissed when Macy decided to get out and try shooting him since he had been standing there smoking for the past thirty or so minutes.She didn't understand why she cared so much about Richard but she did. She loathed the idea that she had made him angry. Maybe I should go and try talking to him.She had thought and that's when he had asked her, not so politely, to get back.But why is he so angry?That was the question she couldn't answer.However, she didn't understand why he got so mad. Wasn't she okay?Richard, on his hand, was seething. He didn't understand why Macy would court danger. They had already agreed that they would face everything together but she had gone head first into danger without even telling him.He crushed his sixth stick and then sighed heavily.What was worse was that he couldn't even get mad at her. This was the first time he felt this way about a woman. He didn't understand it and all he knew wa
109. Macy sat on the couch and leaned back. She was tired.She closed her eyes with a heavy sigh because her heart and body were both tired and Richard noticed.“There is a bed here and you can rest as you wait for me,” he said and she shook her head.Since she came to DC, she had been used to being alone but in the last several months, Richard and Mel had become a part of her life and all she wanted was to be alone when she was feeling so down.She wasn't even used to talikh to anyone about her problems and she thus couldn't even tell Richard what she did as feeling.Richard on his side was still afraid of what could have happened to her if she didn't know how to fight or is she had met professional assassins.His heart was in turmoil and since he could ground a grown woman, he decided to shadow her.She wouldn't leave her alone.Him, like her, was used to dealing with his issues alone and he rarely talked to anyone and he thus wondered how to tell her about his fears.He was in the
