Her Protector

Prince of Darkness

New York City. April 9th, 2030. 1:30 A.M.

Things are quiet in Riley's penthouse, Lucas was in Riley's bedroom, laying next to Riley, watching over her while she's asleep. Zay was sitting in the living room keeping an eye out while sitting on the white couch, looking for something good to watch on television, turning on to the POP channel where they're showing a rerun of Beverly Hills, 90210. Then decided to change it to FXX, where they were showing the episode of Archer where the Royal Canadian Mounted Police enlist the help of Archer and his team to transport a captured Canadian terrorist named Kenny Bilko, the member of the Nova Scotia Liberation Front and there was a funny moment in the episode where Archer is trying to track down Cheryl's pet ocelot named Babou. Zay was watching the ending of the episode where Archer gets arrested by Canadian Mounties and he's sitting in the back of the squad car with Babou.

"YES! ALL OF IT! YOU FOX-EARED ASSHOLE!" Archer yelled at the ocelot while Zay starts laughing.

"Oh, man. This is too funny. Best line ever from Archer." Zay said, picking up the remote to change the channel. "Hmm, I wonder what movies they're showing on Cinemax.

Zay changes the channel to watch a movie on Cinemax. What he doesn't know is that when he changed it to Cinemax, he ended up turning on a softcore pornographic movie. A look appeared on Zay's face as he heard the sound of a woman moaning loud, filling the living room while he quickly turned the volume down to make sure that Riley and Lucas or the tenants below them hear the obscene noise. After turning the volume on the television down, Zay quickly changed the channel to 5 Star Max, in which he ended up watching K19: The Widowmaker.

"Alright you two. I know that Riley is a screamer in bed, so I suggest that you two keep it down in there." Zay shouted, blaming the orgasmic noises coming from Remy LaCroix on Riley. Zay looked at his watch to see what time it is. It was about 1:32 A.M. and Zay decided to get himself something to eat, but he doesn't want to leave his post. The detective picked up his phone from off of the coffee table and began to text his wife Vanessa to check up on her. Unknown to Zay, a shadowy figure appeared on the terrace. A shadowy figure dressed in black and wore a hybrid night/heat vision goggles. The mysterious killer quietly picked the lock on the door and pushed the door open while Zay was texting Vanessa. The killer keeps himself out of sight to make sure that Zay doesn't see him, then pulled out his .45 caliber Desert Eagle with a silencer attachment, laser dot sight and an ACOG scope attachment. Zay stopped texting Vanessa and stood up from off of the couch and started stretching his arms out while the killer takes aim at him. Zay stopped stretching and began to notice a red dot on Liam Neeson's head.

"Hmm, I don't remember seeing a red dot on Liam Neeson or on Harrison Ford in the movie. Must've been the director's cut. I swear if Lu..." Zay said turning around only to see the killer aiming at him. "Freeze!"

Zay quickly pulled his gun out from his holster, getting ready to open fire at the killer, but it was too late. The killer fired three shots at Zay, a bullet hitting Zay in the shoulder and another bullet hitting him in the chest, knocking him down to the ground. The third bulled hit the television, instantly destroying it. The killer dragged Zay's body out of the living room and into the kitchen. The only two people that are left for the killer to take out are Riley and Lucas.

(With Riley and Lucas)

Riley fell asleep in Lucas' protective embrace while Lucas was still asleep and keeping an eye out on things. He began to sense something was wrong as he sits up and put on his boxers and his jeans. Riley began to open her eyes and quickly sat up, holding the silk sheets against her nude body while she see Lucas holding his gun.
