Recap

"What do you want Ben?"

"I want you to do something for me" he said.

"Yeah right. Like I would do anything for you!" I scoffed

"You will if you want to see your sister again" he threatened.

I paused

"fine. What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to go to the bottom floor of your building. You'll find an envelope stashed under a bin by the reception. It has a folder in it containing the information on a man called Seriano Talfano. He's a Spanish hit man who has been assigned to me. I want you to take him out but first I want to know who hired him and why they want me dead!" he screamed the last part down the phone.

"Fine. Bye" short and sweet.

I took the elevator to the upper levels and got an evidence bag. If Ben had a guy working for him, I will find out whom. I ran down to reception and lifted the bin to find a pretty thin folder. I guess this guy is hard to get info on.

I picked up the folder and made my way back to my office.

I sat behind the desk and opened the file. And then it hit me.

Im doing this for Ben. Why?

As soon as the question was asked I answered it.

Natalie.

She and matt are the only family I have left. I need them.

I wouldn't let myself cry. I swore I would not cry anymore. No more weakness.

I opened the file and looked at the picture in it.

He looked around early 40's

He was well built which means muscle.

He had green eyes and black hair that was buzz cut.

Army background?

Maybe.

I looked at the info.

Name: Seriano Talfano.

Age: 42

Height: 6ft 3

Family: married to Lisa Talfano, 42, two twin sons by the name of Mason Talfano, 16, and Jason Talfano, 16 and a daughter named Sarah Talfano, 14. my age hmm i could use that to my advantage.

The rest was all blueprints of the house and stuff.

I looked at the blueprints of the house he was living in with his family and thought of the memories that must be stored in that home. He is so lucky he still has his family.

I shook the thoughts off and continued to study the blueprints.

Knock knock knock.

I looked up to see matt creeping into the room. I smiled a weak smile at him and got up.

I looked at the clock.

11:00am

"Have a nice sleep in?" I asked.

He looked at me in amusement.

"I usually sleep until like 4pm" he said "I have to work from 7pm till 6am!"

I laughed at him and offered him a seat.

He sat down and stared off into space. He looked like he wanted to say something but I don't know what.

His head suddenly snapped towards me "I want to learn how to fight"

"What?!"

"I want to learn how to fight" he repeated

"But you never wanted to learn before! Why now?" I asked.

"Before they didn't have my baby sister!!!"

I opened my mouth and then closed it again. I didn't know what to say to that! He wanted Natalie back just as much as me.

I sighed and nodded.

Right so I have to take out a hit man, teach my brother to fight AND get my sister back when I just lost my parents! Normal kids weeks off school when their parents die or at least a day! Im straight back into work! No fair!

You may have noticed that even though I live alone and have a job like an adult, I still act like a child.

"That way. Down the corridor, the last door on the left. I'll be in there in a sec." I told him. He nodded and walked where I was pointing.

I locked the file in my desk and locked up my office. I ran down to where they were teaching the youngsters the basics and ran in on a class. 20 young faces stared at me like I was a god or something.

I turned to Cyndi the class teacher. She was in her 50's and used to be the best there was till she was injured in America and let the guy get away. Now she is stuck teaching classes for infants.

"I need training equipment." I stated.

"Well then just go get them from the adult class. You're past this stage. " she said confused.

"It's not for me. My brother has decided to join up." Her eyes went wide. She knew all about how strongly my brother hated the family business. And then realisation dawned on her.

"I heard about your parents. And Natalie too. So tragic. I'm so sorry! They were good people and Natalie was so young." She said looking at me with pity in her eyes.

"Natalie isn't dead" I said firmly "she was kidnapped but she isn't dead. I would now if she was. Now can I have the equipment please? Im in a hurry" I said as nicely as I possibly could.

She nodded and pointed to a door to the right of the room. I hurried over to it and began scouting the room for the equipment I needed. I decided I would start with balance today and then move up from there. So I grabbed a balance beam and some weights.

Some of the kids helped me bring out some of the stuff. Its not that I couldn't do it but the kids insisted saying that it would build up their strength.

We walked into the room where matt was waiting and I told the kids to put the equipment over on the other side of the room.

Matt stared wide eyed as he watched 10 year olds carry 2 ton weights. And then his mouth dropped as he watched a 5 year old carry in a balance beam with me with no trouble at all. I admit I giggled.

It was just so funny! Haha!

We set down the equipment and then they all went back to their classes.

"Hey! Snap out of it!" I yelled. His jaw snapped back into place. And he looked over at me expectantly.

"Right. Umm...im going to do your first session but then im going to arrange for someone else to take over. Okay?" I asked.

"But why? Why can't you just teach me?" he asked confused. I sighed.

"I have other things to do." I said simply and then before he could utter another word I had him on the balance beam holding a weight.

By the end of the 2 hours he had successfully managed to hold 2 tons worth of weights and walk along the beam at the same time without dropping a single one. It kept up his strength and balance. I also had him run a mile and told him that he was to run a mile everyday at dawn an then later to add push-ups and press-ups to the to do list.

As you can imagine he was very saw afterwards and very grumpy. I sent him to his room and told him to sleep for an hour and then do another mile. Satisfied that he wouldn't bother me for a while I snuck into my office and began preparations for my new assignment.

Operation get my sister back!
