I crouched there for a moment and heard John shifting just a bit. I took a quick glance at him before staring at where the gun is and then suddenly I heard a shout behind the tree. Within a few seconds I seen a mans hand and I aimed with my gun.
Bang!
I shot a hole straight through his hand. I heard his moans and could hear him trying to muffle his curses. I smirked and waited for the next chance as he retreated back behind the trunk. The gun moved and I ducked just in Time the bullet clipped my hair but that was it. Phew too close, I shook my head and adjusted my position. This guy was pissing me off.
"If he survives I'm going to beat him up until he realizes that he messed with Big Daddy. He'll have to bow and call me grandfather by the end of the fight." I growled.
John looked at me in disbelief and then shook his head choosing to stay silent then try to dissuade me. I gritted my teeth and prepared to take another shot when I seen he was thrown from the tree. I snorted as I now knew that Mom had found him as well. Such an unlucky guy. I seen Mom, jump down after him and pick him up by the scruff of his shirt. She started beating him up, venting some of her anger that she was feeling.
"Momma bear mode activated." I chuckled.
"Huh?" John asked.
"Nothing just when I get picked on Mom goes into what she calls Momma bear mode." I say with a shrug.
I stood up and left the room without a second glance. I looked at the men that were rushing to me and seen their panic stricken faces. I stood to the side and let them pass.
"Replace the windows with bulletproof glass and have the guard increased. There is no reason why an assassin came onto my turf to kill me." I ordered.
I stormed off to my room and slammed the door shut. I closed the drapes and stripped off my tie. Yanking my jacket off I went to the bathroom and stood before the vanity. I looked up and seen that my face had gone pale. I tilted my head back and forth examining my reflection in the mirror. I sighed and splashed cold water on my face.
I sat down onto the floor and started to cry. I rubbed my face and started to laugh while crying at the same time. I was in shock of what happened and frustration that my guard has failed to protect their new head. All these assassination attempts if I live through them will they deem me worthy or lucky? I know that I had an idea as to how intense this whole world is but I didn't know that my life would be in danger every second of every day. I will have to train myself harder and faster.
I wiped away my tears and sat there for a moment in silence. Tilting my head back to stare at the white ceiling and thinking about a new training regime for the guards. It seems that I must have a family meeting once again to test their loyalties for the family and for their loyalty to me. Sighs this is a constant struggle for me I don't know how Jacobi can handle this on his own.
