Chapter 31 - Hitman's sign

Haley felt very reluctant to complete her statement. The look on the face of Pedro already showed he had an idea of what she wanted to say and was already angry with the thought of it.

"Complete your statement, tell me what you have in your mind. Tell me what you think of me" Pedro half yelled at her the look on his face becoming colder.

The Pedro she knew befor would never have yelled at her. Infact it was the complete opposite. She was always the one who yelled at him from time to time.

"You cannot force Me to say anything " Haley insisted as she looked away from him. She tried to stand up but he held her down by the shoulder with one hand. Haley tried to struggle from his grip and force herself up but that single hand on her was just too strong for her. She wondered how a single hand of man could hold her down so firmly.

This clearly showed that she would be no match for him if she ever attempts to get into any sought of fight with him. Even his shooting abilities was of superior range to her own.

"Let me go, you are hurting me" Haley protested against the grip on her shoulder.

"I will not let you go till you tell me what I want to hear " Pedro insisted looking directly into her eyes.

The look on his face was both fierce and seducing for Haley. She didn't know if she should keep quiet to allow him do his worse or she should just tell him what he wants to hear.

"We can do this all day. You are the one who has a case to solve not me" Pedro reminded her as he made the grip on her shoulders firm to cause more pain.

She twisted her face in pain but quickly composed herself not to show nay sign of pain. She didn't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing her in pain.

"Okay fine, I was about to say you look like a professional hitman with the way you shot at those cars. I wonder what kind of training they give in BigJo. You are suppose to protect and not to kill. All skills learnt ought to be for defensive and not for attack "she explained to him that way so he could understand where he was coming from.

Her words sent a smile across the face of Pedro as he let go of her hand.

"I am glad you were impressed with the way I saved you" he said laughing a little as he pulled his shirt again to relax on the bed..

Haley swallowed again seeing him go shirtless again. This tike they would be no one to stop them if they decide to go intimate. How she has missed the touch of a real man she reasoned to herself as she struggled to remain focus on the topic before them.

"Why did you feel you saved me instead of yourself? She asked with concern.

"Those men were obviously waiting for you. They must have stationed themselves close to your compound so they could grab you. Immediately they noticed your car they came after you. I am sure they didn't know for sure that I was in the car. so I can say I saved you" he explained to her without looking at her.

"How is that possible? Haley asked aloud more to herself than to Pedro.

"See I know you have some kind of confidence in the security around your house but if I can penetrate it to adopt you it means someone else would be able to do so too. And if really BigJo is behind this then you should know they have men everywhere even in the armed forces. They might even have people working in your father's house " Pedro informed her.

His last statement sent shockwaves through Haley as her phone rang at the same time.
