**PARKER**
Iremained so calm and quiet behind the wooden door to get the full information about my father. My heart beats faster than usual while I wait for them to repeat the name again, and I was so eager to know why he had to mention his name.
"Who is he, father?" Diana asked her father quietly.
He adjusted himself on the soft chair painted white and black; he was in his white T-shirt and trousers, but all his body was fully equipped with three guns, one on both sides of the trouser and one positioned at his back in between his spinal cord.
Diana, on the other hand, was sitting comfortably without any weapon but just her phone and her short blue gown that matched with her silver wristwatch.
I stood gallantly behind the door while I patiently awaited to hear more from them.
"He was my closest friend; we grew up in the street of New York City; we both got married the same day, and we were both blessed with cute kids of our own until one day, he came to my house and overheard me talking to one of my associates who is interested in buying the powerful crystal of his family, and since them everything went rogue." He said and passed, but Diana wanted to know what really happened.
"Define went rogue, father." Diana requested peacefully.
"He never came to my cave again; he secretly left New York with his family without informing me, and my associate doesn't like to take No as an answer, so he sent hitmen after him. They were able to catch up with him in Valley City, where he ran, and he was killed by the most brutal hitman every exist apart from James himself." Master George said and reached for his cup of wine, then took a sip.
"But father, why was he killed, and what about his son?" Diana raised a good question that suited my heart from where I stood listening. As he was about to respond to her question, he heard a thunderstorm coming from outside the room. She stood up quickly to close the window before it rained, mouse and cat.
Now she sat back on the soft chair comfortably, waiting for him to answer her questions. He took another sip from the red wine inside the small cup before he began responding.
"Diana, James Davidson's son hasn't been found as well as the powerful crystal; it is said that he gave the crystal to his only son before he passed away, and anyone that finds his son will wield the power of the crystal forever.
Immediately I heard that I touched the pendant on my neck, and I gazed strongly at it while I reminisced about the day my master Chan Liu gave me the chain and warned me to always have it with me every time.
"Parker, now this is your last lesson before I let you go. Take this crystal and hold on to it like your precious life; don't ever lose it, because if you do then you will lose your life, and if you entrust it with someone that's evil, the reward is also death. This is what got your parents killed, and I don't want you to end up being killed the same way. Remember, Parker, never trust your shadow." Every word Master Chan Liu said to me still rings in my head every time.
Now I'm beginning to know how important this crystal is. Then, after a few seconds, Diana came out of the room, and Iwas moved by her sudden exit. I thought they sensed my presence eavesdropping at the door, but it was another case that needs urgent attention.
Diana agreed to assist her father's course in finding the lost son of James Davidson and Ariana Davidson.
"Parker, call all the other hitmen. I want to see them right now. Inform them my father has a mission for them." Diana confronted me with the urgent message and quickly stepped away from the spot, like I had never heard anything they were saying.
I raced to the training hall and informed all the hitmen working for her father.
Tom Chris, a.k.a. Danger, was working out with Joe Haumer, a.k.a. Blade, when I entered the dimly lit room. Everyone loved to watch the two of them fight for just 10 dollars. It wasn't about the money; they just loved to fight and train together ever since they got there.
We never liked each other at first, but when I stood up against the leading hitman Mark Thomas during one of our training sessions because he bullied and spat on them, I made sure I kicked his dirty ass so bad that he barely came out of his room the next day.
They ignored my presence and continued with their match. Tom teamined on top of Joe, and he almost choked him with his elbow while he pinned him to the ground. before he tapped out.
I smiled at the two of them when they finally stopped the fight to listen to my message.
"Miss Diana ordered me to convey this message to everyone in this room: you are to match in a single line to the ground immediately, and any hitman that refuses to come will be punished in public as regarding the law of this cave." I conveyed the message perfectly and calmly to them.
After I finished talking, Tom and Joe unexpectedly approached me very fast and lifted me up from the ground. I begged them to let me down, but they insisted I tell them what the message was all about.
"You better start talking now or else you will live your entire life up in the sky."Tom said, and Joe back him up with a very loud smile. Then they threw me on the training foam on the floor, and they started laughing at me.
"Both of you are grounded for that action of yours." I jokingly said to them.
"The last time I checked, you are not the master of this house, Parker, so we are still not grounded this time." Joe said and smiled while he gently put on his hitman black tuxedo to join the rest of the men.
They wanted to know why they were all called, but I kept it to myself until we got to the assembly, where over 50 men are all in black suits with their codes bodily written and tagged on their chests.
Everyone focused on Diana and her father on the stage. I stood in the second line with my two brothers, Tom and Joe, while we listened to
the Master George speech.
**PARKER**All eyes fixed on Mater George and his daughter while he gave his short speech, which ended with a simultaneous applause from the hitmen after he mentioned the main purpose of calling for an urgent meeting.*Speech*"Each one of you is gifted with different talent, and that's why you are chosen to be among my disciples. At the beginning of your training, I've mentioned that there will be a day you will be rewarded for all your hard work; today is the day. I have a very important job for all of you, and a huge reward for anyone that nailed the job perfectly as expected." Master George said, and Diana quickly grabbed it from there and continued. "What Father is trying to tell us is that we are seriously searching for the lost son of his best friend, and whoever finds him would be rewarded greatly and appreciated and might earn the complete trust of my father. Father wants you all to prepare yourself very well for an unprecedented incident that might occur while on the field.
**DIANA**Every single day, every single week, and every single month seems like a whole year without having him to myself. My father could have anyone he wishes, but I couldn't even own a dick. He had journeyed around the world of Layla, Sheila, and Nina, and now it's Camara's turn, but I couldn't even achieve my heart desires.An handsome figure with a broad chest that turns every inch of my body on at each glance, I see him as my future and my everlasting smile. I am going to achieve my every desire if I have to go as low as being a girlfriend to my bodyguard.I was reminiscing on the intimacy I felt when I touched his hand after the meeting with all the hitmen. I wish to never let go, but when he unlocked his hand, I felt like a part of me left."Wow! See the way he walks like a real man. I have been seeing so many hitmen, and he isn't like any of them. He postures his body properly; I could jump on him right now. Come on, Diana, get a grip of yourself and be the boss here." I sai
**PARKER**My eyes opened wider when I saw John dropped dead in front of us. I couldn't take my calculative mind off Diana. I quickly got her up when my gaze was fixed on a sniper gun laser targeting her. Diana's life hung in the balance. The sniper's bullet whizzed through the air, aimed straight for her. But I was always vigilant, and I was able to see the danger unfolding.With lightning-fast reflexes, I lunged forward, wrapping my arms around Diana and pulling her to safety. The bullet ricocheted off the nearby wall, sending shreds of concrete flying.Diana's eyes widened in shock as I shielded her from harm."Get down!" I yelled, myvoice low and urgent.Together, we hit the ground, my body covering hers. The sniper fired again, but my quick thinking had saved us both, and I shot at him from our spot, and it hit him in the forehead.Breathing heavily, Diana gazed up at me. "Thank you," she whispered.My expression softened. "I'll always protect you," I promised.Then we raced thr
**Parker**"WWho are you and who sent you here? Reveal yourself coward." I said as we advanced slowly, but I noticed that the figure wasn't moving at all and wasn't even drawing his weapon, so I kept mine too. Then suddenly he ran very fast towards me and jumped on my body."I've missed you, buddy; where did you run to? You look skinny; what have they been feeding you over there in the hitman's cave, and who's this butch behind you?" Sharon's voice echoes in my ears, and I was so excited to see her too.She had been my childhood friend ever since my parent died and I was taken in by her father. She welcomed me in, and we became best friends. We train together, sleep together, and bathe together till she reaches her liberty age. Then my master had to stop her from going into my room, but she never listened.She was like a sister I was deprived of having when they killed my mother with her pregnancy; she was there when I needed a hug with the dangerous and difficult training Master Chan
*Parker**Diana's question still rings bell into my ears as we drive closer to Master Chan Liu's abode.I steered the car inside the building through an opened iron-made gate; it all looked suspicious, but I ignored it, knowing fully well that Master isn't an ordinary person.The car tires screeched as I swerved into the compound, Diana and Sharon clinging to their seats. I calmly removed the car key from the ignition, then stepped down first from the car before Diana and Sharon followed.Diana's eyes narrowed. "Parker, why was your name in that note?" She asked curiously as we walked towards the wooden entrance door.My gaze flicked to the rearview glass in the door, checking if there is anything or anyone inside."I don't know; I'm confused as you are Diana." I said finally.Diana's voice rose. "Don't lie to me! You know something. I know we haven't been so close because of my arrogance, but I still have the right to know the connection you have with the flash drive." The seriousnes
**Diana**My toes and legs hardly felt themselves as I held on to the knife, waiting for the enemy to strike us first. I gradually walked towards Parker, and Sharon was by his side with a sword."Who are you and what business do you have here?" Parker quickly asked the tall, wrinkled man in front of us.He stepped forward towards us slowly with his covered hat on his; we couldn't see who it was until he got closer to our spot."I come in peace, relax. The youth of nowadays are always impatient with everything. I'm here to sympathize with my friend and also to do my own duty as a former hitman and a good friend of James Davidson." He said with his two hands raised midway."James Davidson! That's my father; how the hell did you now, my father? Identify yourself now or see yourself in the ground like your friend." Parker angrily said."I am a friend of your father Parker, and I can see you've grown up to be the man your father wanted you to be. I thank Master Chan for making you happen.
**PARKER**Sharon walked into the room, a radiant smile spreading across her face as she held out a delicate golden box adorned with intricate patterns and symbols that seemed to dance in the light."Look what I found," Sharon said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.Diana's gaze locked onto the box; curiosity piqued. "What is it?" she asked.My interest was evident as I stepped closer to Sharon on the stairs. "Is that...?"Sharon opened the box, revealing a stunning crystal chain that glimmered and shimmered in the light, its facets reflecting hues of blue and purple."The Alpha power crystal necklace," Diana breathed, her eyes wide with wonder.My eyes narrowed. "But something isn't clear to me. I have the same crystal around my neck; it was given to me by Master Chan Liu before I left to join the hitmen. Is this the original or counterfeit?" Hitman Ryder stood up with a long smile glued to his cheek.Sharon's was so surprised to see another crystal on my hand."Right now I'm not
**Parker**Every single day and night became so difficult to survive with our pictures scattered all around New York City.My eyes scanned the city streets, my heart racing with every glance. Diana and Sharon flanked me, their faces set with determination, as they navigated through the crowded sidewalks. The sounds of car horns, chatter, and sirens filled the air, but my focus remained fixed on potential threats."We need to get out of here," I whispered, pulling them into a nearby alley between towering skyscrapers. The narrow passageway provided temporary cover from prying eyes.Suddenly, a poster on the wall caught my eye. The bold, red letters leapt off the page:''WANTED"[Photographs of Parker, Diana, and Sharon stared back at them, their images grainy but unmistakable.]"For High Treason, Conspiracy Against the Government, and Theft of Classified Information."My gut twisted, a cold dread spreading through my veins. Sharon quickly covered her with her soft black scarf."We're t
** Parker**The flash drive's contents revealed a shocking truth. Diana and Sharon scrolled through the documents in the flash, and we could see all the experiments the evil man had been conducting on human beings, our eyes widening in horror."Jude Liu Kang," I whispered.Diana's face paled. "The infamous leader of the Red Hand hitman."Sharon's eyes narrowed. "And the names of his top lieutenants."The list was extensive, detailing the organization's hierarchy and operations, so unbelievable, so they have been in existence for a long time and nobody knows about it."But what's this?" Diana asked, pointing to a cryptic entry."Project: Eclipse," I read aloud. "Utilizing the Crystal of Eternity to amplify mind-control capabilities and have the power to be immortal forever."Sharon's voice trembled. "He's planning to control the world and use the power for his own benefit. I heard he was sick to the heart." Parker's jaw clenched. "We can't let that happen."The documents revealed Jude
