Something woke me up and I find the gun I bought and take off the safety. I don't know why but I decided to wait on getting the alarms activated in my new home. I wished I had at this point. I call 911 and tell them that I am alone in my place and that I hear someone in the home. I am upstairs at this point. I decide to go up into the attic and climb out through the window if I need to. The person keeps me on the phone. I hear scuffling like someone is fighting. I don't know what is going on but gunfire ensues. I hear loud thuds, no sirens yet but they tell me they should be coming in silent. They want to catch whoever it is that is in my house. It has been a couple of days since the Schroeders threatened my life and I had to change my numbers. I am finally called out to by a cop. The operator verifies the cops name on site just in case. I close the window and lock it and climb down from the attic with my gun in hand pointed down. I see a cop standing there and his partner. I walk to my bedroom to grab my robe, my pajamas are keeping me warm enough. I see a body in my hallway and another one on the stairs. Both had guns by them. It's the Schroeders and I then see two men in dark clothing talking the cops. They hand over their guns and the cop asks me for my gun for the investigation. I show them my carry and conceal license. The men show them a couple of things and they nod at them and hands everything back to them but the guns. My gun will be tested and given back after they check it against the bullets in the dead bodies.

I was ordered to watch over miss Kavanagh and spotted the Schroeders acting very strangely and then I see two coverts and I nod at them. These are people Grey hired to follow the Schroeders. I let them handle the situation. It took them all of ten minutes to get into Miss Kavanagh's house. Lynette Shepherd had followed them into the house to stop them and Stewart Henderson follows her with his gun out and ready to shoot. I hear shots being fired back and forth and I head in to see what happened and it looks like it is a good shooting. The cops arrive and we are all questioned after I ask where miss Kavanagh is at? The cop identifies himself and has her join us after verification from the 911 operator.

Kate
I ask who the three other people are and apparently they work for Grey security. The cops ask if I have a place to stay while they investigate?

I can get her into a hotel room for now. I make my introductions to miss Kavanagh. I have her pack enough for a week just in case. She looks scared and I tell her she is safe with me because I am paid to assure her safety. I tell her to confirm with the other coverts and they tell her they were tailing the Schroeders since they threatened her life at the reception. Bullet holes and bullets were found in the walls where the Schroeders shot at the coverts. So she has me carry her suitcases and the cops give her a case number and us as well along with where we can get our guns. She tells me to hold on and grabs a makeup bag and a bag with shoes in it. Omg what is all this? I just go to the car and put the suitcases from hell in the trunk and hope they fit inside. I see Lynette and Stewart laughing as I open the door to place the other bags in the back seat. I still need to use the rest room, so I go inside and relieve myself, huge mistake because she brings down more. I tell her we aren't moving her into the hotel, she scowls at me and says she needs everything she packed. I finally get everything inside the car and she us finally seated. We drive off as the coroner arrives. She wants to make a stop at a drug store. I stop at the one open 24/7 I still have to watch over her so I go inside with her and she heads straight for the ladies aisle and starts shopping for various female products. She gets three different kinds of pads and tampons and then some feminine hygiene products. I am blushing by the time we leave the store. Condoms really? A twelve pack? Then she asks to get her birth control pills prescription refilled. Oh Lord help us all may those pills work and she not procreate.

We arrive at a very nice hotel and we are given the penthouse suite. I have seen the suite it is great and I could use some room service. Apparently it doesn't start back up for a few hours but they can send a bellboy out to get whatever we might want at the local 24/7 restaurants. They hand me menus and I place an order and they will add it to the bill. Soon I am in the suite and still in my robe and pajamas and slippers. The bellboy takes my things into my room and mr Davis has a bag in hand and goes into the other bedroom. There is a knock at the door and my food is brought in along with mr Davis order. They spread it out for us and Davis tips him and he is on his way. I eat everything I ordered and Davis has checked the lock one last time and I head to my bedroom and turn the tv on and start ordering a movie to watch to calm me down.

I finally relax and head to shower and get ready for bed. I need some sleep now. I can't believe I am babysitting Kate Kavanagh and she doesn't recognize me. I went out on one date with her and I apparently didn't meet her criteria. I have since grown in height and muscles from being in the military special forces. I retired and went into the private sector. When a chance came up for this job in Seattle I took it.
