In the midst of confusion and thinking what was the best decision he could make, Martin opened the door locks. Khloe noticed it that they were unlocked when she heard a click sound and when she looked at the door, it was unlocked. Then a moment of silence happened between them, no one said a word but the silence was loud enough.
"You know what's the right thing to do Martin, you are a good man, you aren't like him" said Khloe, then she stayed silent just exhaling and surveying the whole thing.
Martin didn't say a word, in his mind he was contemplating and he had lots of questions about what's the best decision to make. Whatever decision he would make will reflect his loyalty towards Marcus and the oath he took the day he decided to protect Marcus, and his life as a former Marine who also swore to protect innocent people.
"Will you to see Diana after this?" Martin asked slowly without looking back at Khloe, his eyes were fixed at the front.
"I have to Martin you know I have to do this"
Martin sighed, Khloe reached out for the door but she hesitated to open first - it was like she was having conflicts with her own self whether to do it or not. Suddenly Martin turned back at her and he had a gun pointed at her, Khloe didn't even get to say a word and Martin blew her brains out. Blood was spattered all over the car, Martin's face was covered with blood he had to close his eyes first, then he took a deep breath.
Tears started flowing down through Marcus's cheeks like a cataract of water over a broken dam. He was like a young boy crying over his mother's death, or being separated from his precious toys. He then locked the doors again and just kept on crying, he was really fond of Khloe and he loved her too even though he never really had a chance to express how he felt towards her. It was that situation which reflected a "forbidden love" for Martin knew no matter how much he loved Khloe, he could never have her - at least not in the world where Marcus Orlando exists as so his secret spies all over the world looking upon every situation. There was no way he could have Khloe and Martin knew he needed to come into terms with that, for only that will save his relationship with Marcus and also save his life.
After a good needed cry which he did just close to Marcus's house in the woods, Martin wiped his tears and then texted Marcus "TARGET ELIMINATED" and it didn't take long for Marcus to call.
"Hello, Martin?"
"Sir"
"Where are you at now, and you sure she's dead?" asked Marcus with excitement, truly Khloe's death meant nothing to him.
"Yes sir"
Marcus cheered "Bravo... Bravo Martin ma man! You are like the bodyguard of the year man, I'm gonna pop up champagnes for ya man. Where's the body?"
"She's here with me sir"
"Where's here with me?"
"Inside my car sir"
"Shit! Marcus busted out laughing, he was in his pool freshening up since it was evening - he had to get out of the pool naked just to have a good talk with Martin since he was so excited and overjoyed "You blew her brains out in your car?" he asked sipping his mocktail.
"Yes sir, I did"
"Shit! Damn... Listen homeboy you gotta get here soon, aight? We gonna have a feast on your name Martin. You did the fucking job, now bring that bitch over here I wanna see how does she look when she's dead" Marcus laughed again and hang up the phone.
Martin sighed softly, then he remembered that's what he has to deal with by being Marcus's bodyguard - no feelings attached.
Twenty minutes later Martin arrived at the house but he wasn't in his usual spirit. Marcus, Carlton, and the other two bodyguards prepared a small party for him. Marcus lied to them that Martin had eliminated an assassin aimed at him, hence that's the cause for celebration.
"There he is... the fucking hero" screamed Marcus and then he opened the champagne, his bodyguards opened their champagnes too and the whole parking lot was covered in liquor. Martin got out of the car and he wasn't so like himself - Marcus noticed it. His shirt had Khloe's blood all over it, his face too and he looked like he's been crying for over an hour.
"You wanted a body, well there's your body" said Martin and then proceeded inside.
"Martin... This is supposed to be a whole fucking celebration. What's up with you man?"
"Maybe he misses his mama" said one of the bodyguards, his name was Wayyatt. Martin didn't care about their words or anything, he walked inside the house and straight to his room then he locked it.
Marcus's hype and mood for celebration died off, he gave the bottle to Carlton and walked to Marcus's car. At the back seat he saw Khloe, she was silent, unresponsive and very dead. Marcus pulled her outside and then dropped her to the ground, he shook his head "She just can't stop now can she, when she was alive she wanted to put on a stain on my relationship with Diana, and now dead she wants to stain my parking lot. This bitch just never knows when to stop" he said then looked back at the bodyguards. "Take her to the forest and bury her where no one can find her. And I mean no one... if you gotta dig eight or nine inches that's fine with me"
"Yes sir" replied Carlton.
Marcus took Khloe's bag, her bracelets, and watch then allowed his bodyguards to do the rest. The first thing Marcus did was go for Khloe's phone, it was locked but with a face lock - it was a just a passcode and he guessed the day he killed her husband and it worked. "Huh! You never healed from him, what a shame. Have a good reunion in hell" he thought out loud walking to his room with Khloe's phone trying to search and see what was going on.
It had been a long day for Diana but she accomplished nothing. The client she was supposed to see, Khloe, didn't show up. She left tones of messages on her phone number but none was replied.
"I don't understand, she was so excited for me to present her and suddenly... she's Mia" Diana told Jared, they were having dinner at a local restaurant just near her apartment.
"Who was she again?"
"Jared... pay attention come on"
"I'm sorry Dee, I couldn't tell the difference between the member of the congress and this... Latino woman you said?"
"Yes she's from Columbia"
Jared took a bite out of his vegetarian snack "Oh... well I heard they can get crazy in Columbia. You don't wanna mess with that girl, I say take the senator plus it's big money I'm positive"
Diana was down, and a little bit sad perhaps for she was really looking forward into representating Khloe at court because she always believed in equality and fairness justice.
"I want to represent a case that has values. I want real victims who were misjudged by the jury and get them their freedom. I want something that can change the world" explained Diana, but Jared as usual he just rolled up his eyes.
"Bitch if you wanna change the world, then you better relocate to Somalia and start with the injustices there. Or Nigeria with Boko Haram and some stuffs... but you are in New York - be a New Yorker and get the bag"
"You don't understand..."
"You know what, you are right. And probably I'll never will" Jared went after another bite of his snack and kept on eating, while Diana couldn't.
At 9:45pm Diana and Jared said goodbye to each other with a promise of meeting next time, but Diana went back to the office because she forgot something. At that time the whole office was empty and lucky for her she had a spare key. After she opened the door Diana walked inside the office and turned on the lights - suddenly she received a message "Call me, I miss you" from Marcus. Diana smiled and then returned the phone to her trousers pockets. She was looking for a file she wanted to go through at night, it was a case for another client who Letitia was working on.
As she kept looking for the file Diana heard footsteps, she turned back quickly and there she saw a young Latino man probably in his early twenties, he had a lock of hairs and he wasn't that tall, but he had a mustache goatee just to let everyone know that he was a boy because his face was girlish.
"Don't be afraid... I'm not gonna hurt you. Aunty Khloe told me to give this to you if I don't hear from her till dark" said the boy holding a piece of paper which was folded. He handed it over to Diana and then raced out of the office leaving Diana shocked and confused.
