Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 An Attacker On The Hill

As Silver arrived at that daycare Amber was already waiting by the door with Emma. Silver stared at them confused and asked "Did Jax tell you I was gonna be here early?" Emma nodded and said, "Yes he told us that you'd be arriving soon to pick her up." Silver smiled at Amber and said, "Guess what, you don't have to worry about me anymore."

Amber stared at him silently as Silver pulled a knife from his side and cut his hand. Amber watched as the blood dripped down and asked "W-why would you do that?" Emma immediately grabbed some paper towels while shouting "What are you doing, you shouldn't harm yourself in front of a kid, or at all I mean seriously how stupid can you be." Silver held his hand up to Amber and said "Just give it a sec."

Amber stuck her hand over the cut and began to cry as she asked "Is it because of something I did?" As the cut began to heal Silver smiled and said "Well you said you'd worry if I was in a dangerous job." Amber stared at the healing cut and wiped her tears away as she said "It's healing." Silver nodded and said, "Yeah, I got something good on my last job so you wouldn't have to worry so much."

Amber stared at him and said, "You still shouldn't hurt yourself, pain still isn't good." Emma handed Silver paper towels and said "Hurry up and clean this up before the other children see it." Silver took the paper towels and said "Ok, I'm sorry for scaring you two." As Silver cleaned his blood off the floor Emma left the room as Amber stared at him and said "Even if you can heal you should still try not to get hurt." Silver stared at her and smiled as he said "So your still gonna worry even though I have this."

Amber nodded and said, "Please don't be mad at me for worrying about you." Silver put his hand on her head and said "I wouldn't get mad at you for such a selfless reason like that." Amber stared at him nervously and said "When I was with that other man I would've gotten hit for worrying about something that wasn't any of my business." Silver stared at her confused and said "You mean that man wasn't your father?"

Amber shook her head and said, "I don't know my actual father, he was killed before I was old enough to remember his face." Silver put the bloodied paper towels in his pocket and said "I'm sorry for mentioning that." Amber stared at him and said, "It's ok, I never told you so it's my fault." Silver picked her up and said, "You don't have to put yourself down all the time, just relax ok, everything is gonna be better than it was back then." Amber stared at him and said "Ok."

Silver smiled and said, "Now cheer up ok, why don't we make a stop somewhere on the way back to the hotel." Amber nodded and said "Ok." As they began to leave the daycare Silver said "Later Emma, thanks for watching Amber." Once outside the daycare Silver began to carry her around as he smiled and said "I'm gonna take you to a place I usually go when I'm feeling sad or bothered."

As they arrived at the top of a hill outside of town Silver set her down and laid back in the grass as he said "When we're this far away from people no one can bother us." Silver sat up and said, "Plus the views great and we get a perfect view of the sunset from here." Amber sat down beside him and said "The air feels different here." Silver nodded and said, "That's because you're not smelling city air right now, the air here is fresh and unpolluted."

Silver laid back down and said, "If I had to choose one place to spend my life, I think I'd choose right here, the breeze is nice and so is just about everything else." Amber stared off into the distance watching the sunset as she said "I see why you like this place so much." Amber smiled and said, "If I had a place like this back then I don't think I would've wanted to leave it." Silver yawned and said, "Just laying down right here is enough to calm me down."

As they laid there a man approached them and asked "Are you the one who broke in?" Silver opened his eyes and mumbled, "The air is ominous, this guy seems to want me dead." Silver sat up and said "Sorry I was asleep, can you repeat your question?" The man glared at Silver and asked "Are you the one who broke into our building?" Silver shrugged and said, "That all depends on when it happened and where it was."

The man glared at him even harder as he said "It was a research center two days ago." Silver thought about it for a minute and glanced at Amber as he said "Yeah it was me." The man pulled out a gun and aimed it at Silver's head as he said "It's about time I found you, all I had to go off of was that the suspicious person one of our guards seen had white hair, if our cameras had been up I could've killed you a while ago."

Silver glanced at Amber who was sitting there covering her eyes shaking as she repeated the words "I don't wanna be alone again." Silver stared at the man and said "She's already been through enough so do you mind if we find some other place to do this?" The man pulled the trigger shooting past Silver's head and then saying "A kid needs to be tough, maybe seeing your corpse will even teach her not to go down the same shitty path you did."

The man smiled and said, "At the very least you won't have to worry, I won't kill the girl." Silver laughed and said "Thanks for that, but do you mind if I look at a photo before I die?" The man stood there for a moment and said "Go on, but you only get sixty seconds." Silver pulled out his phone and went to some messages that Jax had sent him and clicked on one of the photos of the man. Silver smiled and said, "Well isn't that just rich." Silver clicked the off button and looked up into the sky as he said "Never expected to be killed by one of my targets, nor to be hunted down by one."

The man lowered his gun slightly and said "You know I'm surprised, I thought you would make this hard for me." Silver smiled and said, "What can I say, I guess I've been expecting to die sooner or later." Silver quickly pulled out a gun but before he had the chance to fully reveal it he was shot in the chest. The man smiled and said, "Now that's more like it, killing someone while they acted so calm would've been really unsatisfying." Silver laid there still clutching the gun loosely as he smiled and mumbled "I... knew... it wouldn't... work."

The man stood above him with the gun to Silver's face as he asked "Would you like to say anything to the young girl before you die?" Silver glanced at Amber who was still repeating the same words as he aimed the gun at the man's head and shouted "This injury... will be healed soon!" As Silver pulled the trigger and blown through the man's head he smiled and said "I can't leave... Amber alone." The man's body stood there for another second or two before falling to the ground.

Silver slowly lowered his gun to his side and said "Hey... Amber, are you okay?" Amber slowly glanced at him and nervously asked "A-are you okay?" Silver slowly sat up and said, "I'm fine." Amber crawled over to him and glanced at the other man's body as she asked "Why did he come after you?" Silver stared at her and said, "I'll explain that later, for now... give me a minute to take care of this injury." Amber stared at his chest and said "I-it already has a way to block the blood." Silver nodded and said, "Yeah, I'd be dead without it."

Silver looked up into the sky once again and said "Who would've thought that I'd have gotten tomorrow's work down already." Silver took a picture of the body and sent it to Jax with a message that read "The asshole you wanted me to kill tomorrow came after me and died early." Jax glanced at his phone and read the message as he said "I only had that job planned for tomorrow, now what in the hell am I gonna do, do I just tell him there are no more requests."

Jax sighed and wrote, "That's all the work I had lined up tomorrow, so I guess your off the clock." Silver stared at his phone and said "Tomorrow I think we should take a trip to somewhere fun." As Silver laid his head back Amber stared at him and asked "Where are we going?" Silver slowly closed his eyes and said "I don't know yet, but for now, I'm gonna sleep a little."
