Beauty With A Gun (Hidden Beauty)

Chapter 22

We woke up to our phones going off. "What time is it?" Harry asked groggily. I got up already wide awake.

"Get dressed Harry we have to go soon."

"Go where?" He asked buring his head further into th pillow. I walked around to his side of the bed and yanked the pillow from underneath him.  He looked up at me glaring before a smile spread across his face. "That's a nice view to wake up to. "He said before yanking me down on top of him.

"Well then you better get up or you wont even get to see the dressed version for a while." I teased making him pout.

"Well we can't have that." He said before kissing my lightly. " You can wear anything in the closet over there." He whispered tilting his head towards a door.

"Thanks." I said as I tried to get up. I huffed when he didn't let go. "Harry." I groaned.

"I didn't mean now." He said cheekily.

"Harry we need to leave in twenty minutes." I protested.

"Fine." He grumbled letting me up.

I walked into the walk in closet. I grabbed a white tank top and a pair of black skinny jeans and ankle booties. I walked out and meet Harry  down stairs. I laughed at our matching outfits. He scratched the back of his head.

"Well it's to late to change." He stated way too happily.

"You can't just copy my fashion sense." I said playfully. He fake gasped.

"I was dressed first."

"You didn't have any style when I met you." I said sticking my tongue out. He looked and me and busted out laughing.

"That might be true." He said diplomatically.

"It is true." I said stubbornly.

We reached the airport 5 til 6 am with Boss right behind us. "Hi Mr. Sanders." Harry said formally.

"Harry, I told you call me Peter." He said way to happy.

"So where is Collin." Harry asked looking at his phone that read 5:59.  I glanced at Boss and saw that he was livid that Collin wasn't here.

"He said Rebecca was holding them back because of a girl emergency." I lied. Boss gave me a horrified look as Harry gave me a confused one. I looked at my phone again. 6:03. Come on Collin where are you, I thought.

"We are here." I heard him yell as he jogged up to us.

"About time." I grumbled.

"Are you two all taken care of?" Boss asked glancing nervously at Rebecca making her frown.

"We are all good." Collin said. They got on the plane leaving the two of us. "What you tell him this time?"

"Girl problems." I whispered. "What was it really?" I asked knowingly.

"Slept in." He said sheepishly. I shook my head and boarded the plane.

"Home here we come." I whispered as the plane took off.

.........

All dressed in black we stood in the living room. Boss had went all out for Ricky's funeral probably, because of Harry. Normally, the few people who knew you gathered around the furnace and pushed you in to get cremated. Then your ashes were scattered at the site of your first mission by your partner.

I looked around at the men around me. Collin was already drunk along with a few other of my "brothers". Boss was chatting it up with Harry. Then there was Mark, why he was allowed here was beyond me considering I'm sure he killed  Ricky. Though he was his partner. Mark has been staring at me since I landed, every time he tries to talk to me Collin intercepts luckily.

We weren't up in Phoenix headquarters, probably because how would Boss explain that. We were currently in Germany.

"Hey, sister." Ronald slurred sling an arm around me. "Sister that's so weird to say since your such a bitch." I felt my blood start to run cold.

" She is isn't she Ronald." Another one, Geoffrey, joined in. "All miss high and mighty." I closed my eyes taking in deep breathes.

"If you do not take your hands off of me, I will saw them off in your sleep." I whispered lowly as my cold place washed over me. It's been so long it no longer felt like a friend more like a foriegn territory I once visited.

"Ohhhh. I'm so scared." Geoffrey teased.

"1." I started. They exchanged uncertain looks. "2" I let myself tense up as they stayed there. "Thr....." They took their hands off of me like I burnt them. I smiled at them evilly. "That was smart. Now run along before Boss thinks your going to blow our cover." They stumbled away as they were told and I sat down surveying the room.

Harry locked eyes with me from across the room and smiled at me. I stood up and walked over to him and delicately sat in his lap.  I looked at Boss smiling. "So Dad, what do you think? He the big bad dangerous guy you thought he was?" I asked him . He knew my real question was did he find him a threat to Phoenix and was he going to kill him?

He chuckled. "No Roxanne. I was thinking he might make a wonderful addition to our own family." I felt my insides run cold from fear. He could possible mean he want to recruit Harry.

"I think that that's a great idea." I lied kissing Harry's cheek. He looked at me curiously obviously not sure what was being insinuated. I took his hand in mine and traced the word "RECRUIT" on Harry's palm like we'd practiced and hoped he kept his surprise hidden. He traced back "WHY" ,and I traced back a question mark as I nodded at Boss who was getting excited over what ever he was talking about.

"Oh I want to come too, Roxy." Collin shouted in our ear.  I glared up at him.

"Collin I think the two love birds would rather spend their time alone." Boss scolded. I frowned knowing I obviously should of been paying attention.

"But a carnival sounds like fun for me and Rebecca." He turned towards me. " How about it Roxy, a double date?" He questioned.

I nodded. "Why not Collin? Gives me a chance to get to know Rebecca better."

"Alright. Alright children." He said sounding defeated. "Have fun tonight." He called as we rushed to go get changed.
