Shock covered his face, eyes wide and his men took steps closer to their boss pointing their guns at me. what the hell did they think I was going to do? I couldn’t even fight and yet they pulled their guns on me. He turned to them and red. They lowered their guns putting them away before stepping back.
He looked <b>back </b><b>at </b>me then suddenly burst outughing. I was confused as to what he wasughing at. He was crazy. “That, I can work with. But you still have more to learn, ps don’t usually work when you are dealing with bad guys. You need to learn how to shoot and how to fight properly.” I looked at him.
I know I said I wanted to learn but I never said I wanted to learn how to <b>shoot </b>or to learn from him. what the hell gave him the idea that I would ask him for anything I Just Walked past him and got into the car he came out from. I was tired and hungry, I just wanted to go back to the hotel, see my son, have a shower and a goodnight sleep.
Few minutester he can into the car and sat next to me. the driver started the car and drove off. He kept looking at me but not saying anything. I was d because I <b>had </b>nothing to say to him. “I was d you thought <b>of </b>

your e of need. It soothed my heart to know that you know that I will always be there to save you.”

I threw a re his way, <b>what </b>the hell did he think? That I <b>was </b>as twisted as he was? “I only said that to scare the men, but it didn’t work. Your name or reputation doesn’t carry as much weight as you think it does. Those men were more <b>scared </b>of their boss than you.” he chuckled dryly “That is not <b>what </b>I saw when I got there.”
He shrugged, God! He was so fool of himself. “Do you want some dinner? <b>We </b>could go and get something before taking you back to the hotel.” I just looked out the window and said nothing. “Okay, maybe another time when you have not spent a day with criminals.” That got my blood boiling.
He let me spend a day with criminals! “Why did you note sooner? You knew where I <b>was </b>the whole time, why didn’t
youe?” he shrugged. “I wanted their boss, there was no point ining sooner and not knowing who hired them. I wanted their <b>boss </b><b>so </b>I could kill them all. But she didn’t show. She must have realised who you are and who your father is and decided to abort the mission.”
Oh, he was so fool of himself! But I did wonder who their boss could be, they were scared of her and said she was crazy. I thought of Sandra many times but if it were her, she would have <b>shown</b>. Sandra wouldn’t have passed the opportunity to see me suffer. So, it couldn’t have been her, Nick’s mother was another suspect.
But then why didn’t she show? “Could be your sister, she might have changed her mind after thinking about it <b>more </b>and what you might do to her or Nick if something were to happen to me.” he smiled. “Now you are starting to get it, bad things would have happened to her and her son if something had happened to you.”
I didn’t know if the tracker Luke put on me was a good idea. But I liked the fact that someone would <b>know </b>should something happen to me in the future. It kind of put my mind at ease. Strange, I know but a lot has happened to <b>me </b>and none of it <b>good</b>.
It would be nice to have someone there when something <b>happens </b>again. “Tell me about my mother.” His face suddenly turned serious, I only remember her deep blue eyes and smile. I <b>can’t </b>really remember anything else about her, her face for instance, I don’t remember much about what she looked like.
But I remember her deep blue eyes, now that I was older, I could tell that even though she smiled at me, she was a sad woman. Her <b>eyes </b>were distant and cold. There was no warmth in them even though she smiled a lot. Maybe that smile I remember was covering for all the heartache and pain she was going through.
My poor mother, she must have loved this monster at some point and losing him might have been painful for her. “Your mother was the love of my life. I was willing to change for her, be a better man, <b>look </b>for a job like a normal person and take care of her, she was my everything.”

He sighed, I still said nothing. I wondered if grandma knew that Luke was my father and not the one who died. ” But the Don wouldn’t let me go, when I told him I wanted out and wanted to lead a normal life. He asked me who was going to take over from him when the time came. The selfish bastard said I knew he didn’t have another son but me.
He shook his head. “He said he would rather kill her than have the lead a normal life and leave him. I thought he was joking until your mother called me to tell me that somtone was at the house, and they asked her to call me. I went to the Don and asked him to spare her and that I was going to stay. From that day on, I never got close to your mother, I feared for her life <b>and </b>yours.”
He looked out the window. “I sacrificed my happiness, for her to live. She waited for two years for me, hoping I would go back. It hurt me to see her sad like that. But <b>then </b>the man you knew as your father came along and she looked better. I hated that another man was making her happy.”
The way he said it made my heart race. “What did you do?” didn’t know if I wanted the answer to that question, but I had already asked. “I sent my people to kill that man, the n was to kill him then take you and your mother and run.” My hands shook “She was <b>not </b>supposed to be in the car…”
A lone tear escaped my eye. He killed her.
