Emergency Assassin

Chapter 10

Patricia's POV

I haven't seen Tony in over 48hours which feels weird. I mean I'm glad he's giving me space to deal with what he did but it still feels weird. I ended up not leaving coz I know it's stupid to walk out there alone, I'd be killed within a minute, plus I know Tony's right about Rob. He would have turned up dead someday at the rate he was going and worse, I may have gone down with him.

I have been doing meditation to improve my senses and it's amazing how much you experience when your sight is taken away.That has been the best part of my training. For the physical exercise, two of Tony's men have been coaching me.They're tough but Tony is tougher.

It's 9pm and I just finished with training.I'm so exhausted and sore, it's like as the old bruises go off, new ones spring up.My whole body is in pains and I feel sick now.I haven't kept any food down today and my head hurts.I lie in bed staring at the ceiling and waiting for sleep and suddenly I feel someone sneak into my room, I didn't bother opening my eyes coz I can perceive him already.

Hey, how are feeling today? Tony asks about two feet away from my bed.

I'm not sure.kinda sick, I respond still keeping my eyes shut. I feel him sit on the bed close to me and he gently begins to touch my hair in a comforting way which makes me open my eyes. He looks even more handsome or maybe I was beginning to forget how handsome he is but he lost a some weight.His face is a bit more lean now and his muscles are more toned but he's still flawless.

I got you some chicken soup. It's not as good as yours but I hope you can manage since you haven't eaten all day.Tony tells me as he hands the soup over to me.

You made soup for me?

Those things were already in the kitchen, I just threw them together in a pot. He responds clearly embarrassed.I muffle a laugh and sit up to take the soup.

Thanks. I say and he just nods.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Rob before you found out.

I'm shocked he's sorry for not telling me and not for actually killing him but I don't have the energy to start another fight with him besides I'm glad he's here. It's been kind of lonely without him.

I don't want us to ever talk about that again, ok?

Sure, he responds after a little hesitation.

After taking the soup, Tony gives me a bath which was very tempting coz all through I kept hoping he would get into the bath tub but he didn't. the bulge in his sweat pants did show he was thinking about doing that though. After that he dressed my wounds and we slept in each others arms.

I have become used to waking up very early for training so this morning is another routine for me.When we get downstairs I notice five dogs in chains. they are so cute but look like those police dogs.

Wow, I didn't know you had dogs here. I tell Tony who looks too serious for 5:30am.

I don't, and if I were you I'd start running, he says with a smirk on his face and before I could question him I see the dogs get lose from their chains and racing towards me.I was running as fast as I could but the dogs were really fast.As I was about climbing the iron net wall separating the front and back yard they meet up with me.One bites on my sweat pants dragging me to the ground. I use my hands to block my face while expecting the bites and suddenly they're off me and running back to the starting point. I remain on the ground motionless when Tony walks up to me.

well, well, well, I see you've gone soft. he says with smirk on his face.

fuck you, I shout at him. That wasn't funny, you could have given me heads up.

If only life was that easy, he says with a much bigger smirk. Next time they're going to bite so i suggest you work on your speed.

After going for a run, we do some shooting and boxing before breakfast.I need a break from this training, I feel like my body will give up anytime soon. I tell Tony.

It's your mind that is weak, not your body. Your body will do whatever you believe it can do.Tony says sternly.

So you're saying you never get tired?

No, I'm saying I never stop. If I did, I would have been dead by now. do you feel better today?

Not really, I respond honestly. I know he wants me to get all tough instantly but my body is seriously falling apart.

I'm tempted to give you some days off but it's not a good idea plus I know my men have been easy on you these past two days.he says finishing up his food.

Yeah,  you were gone for two days. Where did you go? I notice Tony's body stiffen for a few seconds before responding.

I..uhm... Stopped by to see an old friend. Are..ehm.. Are you done?  He adds picking our plates and walking into the kitchen. I can tell he's hiding something which makes me worried. He only stutters when he's nervous. I join him in the kitchen.

Is it something I should know?  I ask him leaning on the sink to face him.

Nothing to worry out, he responds with a fake smile which makes my cringe with fear. Of course he went on a job that's why he's not giving any details and...

Look,  I need you to be very careful OK?  He says interrupting my thoughts.

Yeah, I respond flatly but with a questioning look.

Not even my men, do you understand? He's looking me dead in the eyes.

Sure,  I respond. My head is beginning to pounds with so many random thoughts of what could be wrong but I know it's no use asking him now coz he won't spill.

When we entered my room,i went straight to bed expecting Tony to join me but he kisses me on my fore head and leaves the room even before I could put my thoughts together to say anything.
