I can’t look at the agent walking beside me as I feel so ashamed that I couldn’t defend myself the night before. Because of me, he had to shoot a man and assume the consequences.
“Do you see why I didn
We come back at night after a long day of walking and stopping by libraries. William parks his car in the private area and asks me to wait. I see him walking around the car to open the door for me.
I hurry to put back the files in the boxes and sit on a chair, taking breaths. The door opens and I smile at him nervously, “I was waiting for you.” I lie.“Waiting for me?”
“What do you mean he didn't come back? I'm sure he's just in his room, he always closes the door and—”“He's not there!” William runs his fingers in his hair. “The door was open, he's not there.”I panic. I press my lips tight and look around me. “Have you ch
He starts the car and we drive in the middle of the mansions until we spot the one Vicky showed us in the pictures. He parks a little far and leaves the car. I follow him behind the vehicle and see him open the trunk. I wasn't surprised to see a metal suitcase filled with guns. “Take this.” I take the weapon with shaky hands.

I wait a few moments until I recollect myself and take a long breath before I look at him. His skin is paler than usual and he has dark circles under
It’s seven in the morning when I leave the terrace, it’s already too late to get a little sleep. Maybe a cold shower and a cup of coffee can help.At the cafeteria, I see Vicky and Kyle eating their breakfast together, and I decide not to disturb their couple moment, so I choose a table not too far from theirs. As I’m drinking my warm coffee, I see Tiger arrive. His eyes are swollen and red. He must have spent the night crying.I
There are many beautiful things you can do in your life, but riding a motorcycle, holding the man you love and going someplace you don’t know is on another level.I have no idea how much time we've spent on the vehicle, but I know I enjoyed every single second of the ride. We didn’t exchange many words, but just being with him was enough to make me smile.Tiger parks his black motorcycle in a place I can’t recognize. He gets off a
