The Hidden Princess (ON HOLD)

Understanding Is Hard

RYAN'S POV/ DAD'S POV

"It all started when..."  

***FLASHBACK***  

Sally and I were on the porch of our house. This one was a modest one a simple 3 bedroom house on the outskirts of New York City. We bought it after our first couple million we upgraded from our old apartment. We were sipping on some strawberry lime iced tea Sally had made. Unsuspecting our dirty phone buzzed. I quickly hurried inside its been a week since any one has needed our assistance. The job was easy we received calls and got our victims info and visit them and have a nice little chat then simply put one beautiful bullet between their eyes. We were getting paid for deaths. We knew the consequences. Sally and I were globally known we NEVER left a trace we were simply the best.

I looked at the screen. The area code was from Europe. We get an international call every 3 months this would be our second this month. Excited I picked it up. When we get an international call we always get paid way more than usual. Who knew that a call could give me 8 children.

"Hello." I greeted coldly.

"Is this Ryan"

"Depends on who's asking."

"The king and queen of Andorra wish for your services." He says a little too disrespectful for my liking. I snorted.

" What is it that you need?"

"We need 8 dead children."

"You don't need me then that's why they have morgues."

"You don't understand sir, we need you to kill them."

"And why in the world would I kill children." I was shocked me and Sally have tried to have kids but she couldn't we gave up a long time ago. The idea of killing a child scared me they were so innocent. I would never stoop to killing a child. I've killed old people and young adults but NEVER A CHILD. The old people had it coming they have lived for a while. The young adults were rich snobs so bye bye no regret there.

"They would not advise me in telling you so they wish you would fly over in one of our jets and they have a very big prize for the person to do it."

"A trip to Europe huh?"

"Oh yes sir and the best room and jet if you don't accept they understand and are willing to fly you back over to the U.S. at no charge."

"Let me talk this over with my wife call me in five."

"Oh yes sir. I shall tell your lovely companion of the job...." I hung up. Sally was already standing next to me waiting for the next job. I stood there admiring her she always catches me staring. I graze her body. Taking in the sight that she is. I lean in and pecked her then picked her up and twirled her. She just frowned at my sudden display of affection. She pounded on my back telling me to put her down. I sighed and put her down.

"What was that call about." She asked growing inpatient.

"Oh nothing just some king wants us to kill 8 children and will invite us for a tour. If we don't accept we could take him down easily and come back home." She was surprised at the preposition. I stared at her and assured her that we would not kill them and just take the free trip. She reluctantly agreed.

***END OF FLASHBACK***

"Thats how we found out."

"Dad don't you think that's a tad bit CRAZY." She replied harshly. I cringed at her she noticed and her voice softened."Sorry, continue."
