Cassie's case (part 1)

   Cassie Knight has been working for the secret services for as long as she remembers. Even in her high school years while her twin was running from dance classes to ballet recitals, Cassie was always ready for a fight with the bad guys. In college she met Taylor, they moved together, bought a dog, named Kelly and because from the start they could understand each other's needs, they got married.

   After five years of a happy wild life they decided it was time for a change. They moved to a bigger house, a penthouse in the city and almost immediately after that, they decided it was time for a new member in their family.

   Cassie's family has always been big. She has a bigger brother (with 5 kids and 3 grandchilds), a bigger sister (with 2 kids and one grandchild), a twin sister (with 4 kids)and a younger sister (with 3 kids). But Cassie always liked her privacy and preferred the silence of her own house. 

   Taylor met Cassie while he was in college. He was having difficulties at this time of his life and when he met her he felt like a huge boulder was being lifted from his chest. He never met his parents, he grew up as an orphan and he did a lot of things in order to survive and earn a better life. But he succeeded, finished college with good grades and started his carreer in Athletics. He became famous as the best scorer in the city and they both made a lot of money.

   As  a couple they had a lot of friends, they organized the best parties and they got invited everywhere. But when they were alone they preffered long walks in nature with their loving dog, Kelly and relaxing hours in their big jacuzzi.

   When Cassie became pregnant she stopped working. In the long hours that she now had to stay home, she wrote three criminal novels influenced by her real life adventures. She wrote by a pen name but her novels quickly gained a lot of fame and people started to ask for her. Her publisher asked for one appearance only and after her child's birth she agreed.

   One month after Kayleb's birth they had a big party in their house to celebrate their new family member and the next day her first appearance as a writer was going to take place in the town's mall. Cassie, Taylor and little Kayleb were walking around the mall when three armed men appeared and started shooting. 

   Cassie's training kicked in and she immediately killed the nearest shooter by throwing a knife, she found in a restaurant table next to her, through his forehead. The second one tried to run but she caught him. After a cinematic fight she managed to kill him by throwing him from the balcony, three stories down. The third one, even though she chased him for a long time, managed to escape by jumping from the roof. He was fully prepared and had roof jumbing equipment.

   FBI came and even some of her collegues in the secret services arrived. They informed her about the situation and asked her to take part in a protection program for the sake of her family. She was ready to accept but when her boss came she observed something peculiar in his manners. He came here to find her dead and was surprised to see that she was still standing. That was what made her decide that she couldn't trust her family's lives in the services hands. She had to take matters in her own skillfull hands.

   Taylor, before marrying her had a relationship with a very important woman. She knew everything about her husband's past and as much as she was trying to find an alternative solution, that plan that was forming in her mind on its own, was the only safe option for the people she loved. That's why she never drived them back home. She told Taylor that she had to leave them in the safest environment she could think without her agency's knowledge until she found out what is going on and who tried to kill them.

He agreed until he saw where they were  going.

"No, Cassie. What are you doing?"

"I'm sorry! But here is the only place that I know that both of you will be safe!"

"You can't do that. We will find a way".

"Taylor I love you! You know that if I had any other option I would never ask you to go back there, right?"

   Taylor didn't answer. He knew his wife too well. They were eachother's supporting pillar from the first day they met. They've been through a lot but they stayed strong and in love through it all. But this time it wasn't only about themselves. If it was only him he would never agree to his wife's plan. It was the saffest yes but he wouldn't leave her to face the danger alone. Little Kayleb was the only reason he had to agree. 

   It was raining heavy but they didn't care. Taylor kissed his wife like it was the last time he was seeing her. And Cassie was hugging him hard, like she never wanted to detache herself from him. Little Kayleb was sleeping quietly in the back sit. Cassie kissed his forehead and for one last time memorised his chobby arms and face and sped the car away leaving her family behind in someone else's doorstep....
