Chapter 17

I decide to go on a walk with Andy first thing in the morning to clear my head. We decide to make it into a game where if I win I teach him how to shoot a gun and if he wins we go swimming at the beach. Last night I had the dream again where Hunter was killing my baby it still gets to me the way the doctor smiled at me. I mean that was the worst day of my life and all he could do was smile it was like he was laughing at my feeble attempt to protect my baby.

“I beat you” Andy boasts as we walk back towards our house.

“No way, I totally won” I protest as we walk through the door and into the hall.

“Alright you win but next time its war”

“So Mr Andy I’m teaching you to use a gun” I go to my bag and grab the gun that I have been carrying for the past few weeks ever since my dad’s death.

“What if I already know how to use one?”

“Do you?”

“No” he shrugs and I laugh for a minute there I thought he knew how to use one.

I give him the gun in his hand and show how to arm and disarm the gun. I am surprised when he picks it up quickly and he shoots the brown sandstone and it cracks into pieces. I stand in front of the painting that I hate with the evil looking cat and tell him to shoot. He protests at first then lifts the gun and aims it and I am beyond shocked when the bullet lands the perfect bull’s eye in the cat’s eye. For someone who has never held guns before much less shoot a target he is pretty skilled at shooting. There is no way a rookie could shoot a target without hitting some part of a person’s body and he curved the bullet perfectly it took me five years to perfect a curved bullet and he just picks up the gun and does it perfectly. I mean I have been practicing that shoot since I was thirteen and he gets it within less than two hours either he is very skilled with a gun or he just lied to me or maybe he went hunting with his father.

I am about to ask him a question but the door bell rings. He disarms the gun and throws it to the ground and I just stand there shell shocked to the spot.

Andy’s POV

I am in major trouble curing a bullet how stupid can I get that takes years to perfect and I just did it in front of my wife. The look on her face was absolutely shell shocked and then the doorbell rang and I could not be happier to escape the room before all the questions start what was I thinking? I if keep this up she will be taken away from me and I will never see her again.

I open the door and sure enough its Justin standing waiting to take my angel into the lie of the redds.

“Hi Justin”

“I received a tip that danger is brewing you two have to leave now”

“We are not going anywhere”

“Hell you’re making my job difficult, look you have to leave trust me”

“You saved my life Justin and I thank you for that but I’m sorry I don’t trust you” I put my arm around my angel and press her into me tight feeling the warmth of her body.

“Someone’s going to be here by tomorrow. I can’t tell you anything else

“Why not?” she asks staring directly at him

“Complicated, tomorrow when I say run you run and don’t look back do you understand?”

“Yeah but we won’t have to”

“You will and you’re very wrong about me I’m not a liar, I’m a friend who is trying to help you”

“No one is coming the baby is dead they have no reason to come”
