And Then He Called Me

Chapter 20

Quinton's POV

Leif and I got bored today, so I begged papa to let me take a gun, and he agreed, but not before I had spent hours trying to convince him, which was very entertaining for my mate.

So, now we go to the room that is used for shooting, it was built a few years ago, and it's used only by the people that are training to help in the attacks.

But papa did an exception for me, and he does the same for my brothers sometimes, so we get to use it too.

To be honest, it should be managed by Denver, but he decided that he wants papa to take care of it.

Papa built it when we got a lot of guns, after he and the warriors killed a lot of hunters, and it really helps with the attacks even though there are very few people who know how to use guns here.

When we enter the building, we're instantly in the room that has the targets hanging from the wall.

I press a button, which makes them move, and Leif smiles at this, before he stands in the area where he's supposed to be, and he doesn't even wait for me, before he starts to shoot.

I just look at his, aand I count how many times it takes him to hit the middle.

It takes him only five tries which is surprising, because I don't think that he ever used a gun before.

"Did you use a gun before?" I ask him.

"Yeah, I was a serial killer, before I met you, so I had to use it a lot." He tells me, and he looks very serious about it, so my eyes widen.

I didn't really ask him where he was working before he moves here, but now I think that I should have.

He sees my expression and he laughs loudly for a very long time, barely managing to keep his balance.

When he finally manages to calm down, he looks at me again.

"I wasn't a serial killer." He tells me. "I was an assistant." He says, and I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding.

"Don't scare me like this." I tell him, and he chuckles.

"I didn't use a gun before." He tells me, and I frown.

"Then why are you this good already?" I ask him, and he shrugs.

"Natural talent?" He asks me.

I don't respond, and I move to stand next to him, before I shot at the moving target, hitting it right in the middle.

Leif looks impressed, but he stays quiet, before he continues shooting at the next target, so I do the same.

We do this for a long time, but then we have to leave, because the warriors come here to train.

So, we go back to the house, and we lay on the couch together, while we watch a movie.

"Do you have any names that you like?" I ask Leif.

"I know a lot of names that I like, but I don't want to name our kids the same as one of your family members, and I can't remember their names." Leif tells me.

I chuckle, before I tell him all the names again, although I'm sure that he will forget them, before I will even finish talking.
