Ammunition

I could hear the phone ring, but my body is too tired to move, even my eyes are too heavy to look. One...two...three... and the phone stop ringing. Even without opening my eyes I can feel that there is somebody approaching me. Then I felt a warm object touches my skin, I grab it and I could feel the force at the other edge. I release my grip and I could hear the sound of a falling body on the floor. Heading to the person covered with white blanket on the ground, I grab the other edge of the cloth and roll it over his head… “S...top” a voice from the person inside the blanket. That voice get me into my senses again, I loosen up and uncover him. I saw Zander choking in his breath; his beard cannot hide the redness of his face.  I feel a sleep while waiting for his return, a poor man I think he was trying to put blanket over me.

“I’m sorry, it was my muscle memory that does that violence...” helping him get into sofa, his shoulder moves as he tries to hide his laughter.

“Muscle memory? Ha ha! You’re too strong for a woman.” Rubbing his neck “I know now why they hire you.” And he hand me same device as what James gave me before I left. “All information was there, finish reading it and do not open the door again nor answer any call unless you’re done…” and he stood up.

“Where are you going again?” opss, I sounded like a child that was left by her parents on her first day of school.

“Shower my dear, wanna come?” and he smile teasingly.

“I have an assignment to do” I grab the tablet pretending to scan while my eyes are trying to follow him as he gets into the room. I got a hot husband in an instant.

My head hurts as I press the “finish” button and watched the device explode and melt on the top of the table, leaving no clue. “To finish clean and accurately” This is what we are aiming for. I grab my feet and touch the wall near the small fireplace on the living room. Checking each bricks and looking for the unique one…and I got it. I push it and heard a squeaky sound as the small fire place about three feet tall loosens up, enough to drag it forward. I slid it to the right and it reveals different kind of guns in all sizes.

“I guess you’re done doing your assignment.” I turn around and saw a half-naked man in front of me with his full pack abs.

“Don’t you have any shirt to wear on?” and I turn my back on him, I cannot be tempted this fast.

“James told me you grew up with men so I perceive you had seen a lot of this, and Oh, I am your husband you can touch this if you want.” He is making that arrogant laugh again. I gave him no response as I continue to check each gun.

“Follow me inside, I will show you something” and we headed inside bedroom. He grabs a black shirt and put it on. He open wide the 8 feet tall, 6feet wide closet, revealing all the dress and coat that we had packed in our luggage. He paves all the dress on the left side of the closet, as he swipes his hand on the wall of the closet an automated system appeared. He pinned down a password and a door suddenly open.

“This house is full of surprise; will that door lead to Narnia?”

“Well this ain’t fairy tale my dear” and he close the closet and so is the door and the light gets on.

The room is about 100sq meter. With one wall covered with flat screen monitor. And has a lot of control button.

“What are these?” pointing at the control panel

“In this room we will do most of our job.” He pulls one swivel chair and sit, I took the other chair.

“Is that our house?” pointing on the screen

“Yes, CCTVs were installed all over the area”

“Including the..” in shocked

“Yes the bathroom, we can watch each other taking a shower here. You want a replay?” navigating the button.

“What are the other blank screens are for?” to mislead the topic

“Well that is our job, to get eyes on the area where we will work” he stood up and pulls down the lever on the right side of the wall. The three walls suddenly went up revealing what they are hiding at the back.

On the west side wall (the screened wall being the northern part) reveals another set of high powered guns and explosives. On the eastern part were technical devises and on the southern wall liecash and four set of bullet proof vest and suit.

“Dollars for what? Is this our payment?”

“Will you accept that if they will only pay you that little?” he runs his fingers on the dollar bills. “We need cash in case the bank that we are named after were get audited to check our real identity. These are just reserves honey.”

“Okay, so when we will get started?”

“Today is Sunday, its Sabbath day. Let’s work tomorrow” crossing his legs and leaning low on the chair.

I rolled my eyes around the four corner of the room; I will be working here for quite some time. No, I will be working with this man inside this room for a long period of time. What a job.
