Zach's POV.
It had been two weeks since I was forced to come back to work. I assumed that my superiors were watching me and when I killed James, they decided to call me back for safety.
Not that I needed it. It was nice to know that they cared, even a little bit.
It was nice, even if that meant that i had to be dragged away from my wife just as we were starting to get really close.
That part really sucked. To add on insult to injury they snagged my phone and won't even let call or text my wife to let her know where I was.
That part really fucking sucked.
But I digress, currently I was running through training with my team. I needed to get reacclimated to them after being gone for a month.
Not that I nor any of my team needed it. We were all a well-oiled machine. Like good soldiers. My team was like my family, is my family we have been through thick and thin.
Blood sweat and tears. Some of us made it through and some of us didn't, however one think that always remained the same was that we were there for each other. Most of us were orphans, which meant that we were the only ones the other had.
That made our family that much stronger. I wasn't necessarily an orphan as I ran away from home but considering I did that and grew up on the streets. I fit the bill well enough.
I wonder actually now that I think about it, how my family was doing. I tried to keep away from the smith family as much as I couldn't. Didn't want to get emotional about them and also didn't want to leave any breadcrumbs for them to find me.
(I am changing the last name of Zach's main family from Cain to Smith. I forgot that I had them named that when I created the bodyguard and ex-subordinate Cain. Sorry for the confusion.)
I had a good family now, a proper one that loves me unconditionally. Eve and my boys are that family.
"Alright boys that should do it for today!" I yelled out so they could all hear me. Some of the guys were in hiding so I needed to be loud.
"Ugh finally."
"Thank god."
"Boss we are not all like you. We can't go for 48 hours straight like it's nothing. "
Thye all started to complain and come out of their hiding spaces. Dirt and mud covered them from head to toe. The smell alone was knock out worthy. Thank goodness there were no female in our team or they would have complained about the smell.
Well, everyone already complains about the smell anyways.
We were all ready to go back to the barracks, wash up and get some shut eye when I noticed that one of my team members was missing.
"Hey where is Steve?" I asked, the guys gave me a few sideways glances not wanting to look directly at me.
"He is already back at the barracks sir sleeping on his cot." Tim said while scratching the back of his head.
"What the fuck! Oh, he is going to get his shit rocked." I said as I made my way to our barracks at a light sprint.
Getting ready to deliver some punishment to a lazy teammate.
