Chapter 6

Michael POV.

After Michael left comare Chris private room, he was relieved that she only wanted sexual pleasure from him. ‘This woman is crazy and is capable of doing anything she wants… but she chose me…why?’ Michael thought to himself.

She is a beautiful woman and any man would be so proud to have her on his side as a trophy girlfriend or wife but the things she did disgusted him to his core and this made him want to bring her down so badly. But first Michael needed to contact his chief and brief her on his progress in the cartel.

"But how do I communicate with my squad?" Michael thought to myself. He quickly got back to the quarters and everyone else was fast asleep. Only the night guards stayed awake….

The next morning Michael was assigned to chop firewood which had been brought for the winter he guessed.

Michael took off his shirt and remained with a black vest and jeans. As he chopped up the wood, comare Chris walked out of her mansion. She stared at him for a while as she sipped on her cup of coffee, watching as his muscles flexed each time he brought down the axe. 

Her intense stare made him uncomfortable but he chose not to think about what happened last night as he thought she was just using him but then looking at her now, she was looking at him as if she had fallen in love with him already. Michael could easily tell when a woman was into him. 

His brows met, thinking it wasn’t possible for a ruthless woman like Chris to fall in love so easily. A thought flashed through his mind. Perhaps she had become obsessed with his body. 

"Should I use this to my advantage or just work on my mission?" Michael thought to myself As he continued to chop up the wood… 

Later that morning, commander Mario came to Michael and instructed him to be part of the security detail for Christina. Michael's jaw dropped in surprise. He needed to get as close as possible to the comare so that he could get all the evidence he needed to put out an arrest warrant on her so being her bodyguard was the ideal job. 

"My lucky stars must have lined up in a straight line for such a favor to befall me." He thought to myself.

"Get ready, we will be leaving with the comare in 30 minutes!" Mario said.

Michael quickly rushed to shower and changed his clothes. He was given an AK-47 as his weapon to use. Commander Mario ordered him to open the car door for Christina.

Christina gracefully walked to the car, looking at him seductively but still he refused to get entangled with such a ruthless and cunning woman. He remained impassive and decided to treat her like air. 

Her perfume lingered along as she walked closer to him. It was so alluring, making a strange sensation to run down his spine. ‘Remember your mission.’ Michael said to himself.

Christina suddenly stopped before she could enter the car.

“Can’t you see me?” She asked him with a raised eyebrow. 

“I can ma’am.” Michael responds with an unreadable face that frustrates Christina. 

“So? Why didn’t you greet me?” She blurted out.

Michael simply bowed and held the car wider. “I’m sorry ma’am. Good morning. Please get in.” 

Christina bites her lip. She pulls him down by his collar and captures his lips with hers, slipping her tongue into his mouth until he responds with vigour. 

Michael felt a wave of pleasure rush throughout his body. 

Just when the kiss is about to get hot, Christina pulls away and wipes off invisible dust from Michael’s jacket. 

She is a good kisser but that still won't district him from the mission he thought to himself.

“Now that you have my mark on your lips, be sure to let any girls you find know that you belong to me. Don’t even try to wipe it off.” She says, referring to the lipstick stain she smeared his lips with and enters the car with a smug smirk on her lips.

*******

An hour later, they got to another mansion. Michael was not given enough information on where they were going. He still needed to earn commander Mario's trust. And that's what he needed to do to get everything he needed.

"Look alive boys, this is sir Carlo's mansion. Make sure the safety of the comare comes first above anything else." Said Mario.

 All the bodyguards got out of the car to secure the the place before allowing Christina out of hers.

An older man came out of the house to welcome the comare. Michael quickly identified him as Carlo wood. He was on the FBI's list of wanted criminals. He has been hiding out from the public since his family was murdered.

Sir Carlo went straight and embraced Christina.... And lead her into his mansion.

Michael bit his tongue in frustration. Carlo is right there and if only he had backup he could have brought down two big criminal organisations.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" He muttered to himself. Michael needed to get in contact with the chief as soon as possible. But how? That question never left him.

"Guard the premises," an order from Mario was given as he followed comare inside the mansion.

‘This is it.’ Michael thought in his mind. ‘I need to find means on how I can communicate with the chief as soon as possible before Mario and Chris are done with the visit.’

He excused himself from his fellow guards and went inside to look for a toilet. From there he was just going to improvise on how he can send a massage to the chief of police.

"Excuse me boss, I need to empty my tank please were are your toilets?" Michael asked one of the gaurds.

"Come with me. I will show you the way." He replied after giving Michael a once over.

"I’m Michael and you are?" Michael said as he tried to create small talk with the man.

"None of your business. Do you want the toilet or not" The man snapped as he groaned in frustration.

"Toilet please!" Michael said, internally rolling his eyes. 

‘He is too serious and I can not get anything out of him.’ He thought to himself. ‘Let me just get a hold of a phone…’

He was shown to the toilet in the guards quarter. 

"Do your business and join your friends outside." The man said with a serious face. He left Michael and went back to his post.

Michael was finally left alone like he had wanted. ‘Good this is the time I can search for a phone.’

 He pushed his gun onto his back. 

Michael quickly and quietly searched the whole room but he could not find anything till he heard a vibration under the mattress.

Where did that sound come from? He wandered around with his sweaty palms…

He frantically started checking all the mattresses till he finally found it. A small smart phone was charging under the mattress.

Grabbing it, he tried to switch it on but realized it was low on battery. 

‘Fuck! Why is this happening to me now?’

Michael removed the battery and rubbed it on his jeans to try jump start it, a technique he saw a colleague do to his phone when his phone was battery low. The moment he placed the battery back into the phone he immediately heard a voice from behind him. 

"Freeze! Who are you and what are you doing in here?” The man said as he pointed the gun at him..

"Shit! Am dead now for sure" Michael said in his mind.

He immediately but slowly dropped the small phone in his boots…

"Wow, calm down Mr. I’m with comare Chris I asked to use the toilet and I was brought here by one of the other guards. If you want, I can take you to him so that you confirm the story." Michael said, his face looking calm and collected. 

The guard was not moved by his story because of where he found him. His face was stone cold without any reaction.

"But why are you over there instead?" The man asked.

"Ummm, I was… no toilet paper in the toilet so I came over here to look for one.” Michael said, quickly coming up with an excuse.

The man kept his gaze on him… scrutinising him.

Michael looked down and the code for the charger was visible. He slowly pushed it under the bed and walked away from the spot he was standing in.

"Look man, I just wanted to ease myself, that's it." He remarked in a more confident voice.

"Ok, get out of here before you get shot for wanting to use the bathroom." The man uttered  in a less strict tone.

Michael quickly got out of the quarters and went to join the others.

"I have a phone without a charging cable. Anyway it's better than nothing. I will figure it out later." Michael said out loud, letting out a sigh….

 A few minutes later comare Chris came out of the house. Michael noticed a spot of blood on her cheek and couldn’t help but wonder what happened to her. Was she hurt?
