Checkmate

Chapter 2- Hinata

            I looked up at Hinata (HE*NA*TA) who had been lurking in the shadows the entire time signaling to her that we were about to leave. Hinata was not what you would expect as head of security. She had been a part of the C.I.A moving high valued assets, but after a mission gone bad she began to drink her life away. Two years after I met Jessie we were in a Russian pub meeting with a sleazy man by the name of Ronald Heck. We were there to discuss business, but he couldn't stop making advances at Jessie. Eventually things took a turn when Heck tried to put his hand up her dress. She slapped him so hard it got the attention of the entire pub. He looked at me, and I nodded my head letting him know he was free to retaliate. He grab her by her throat , and began whispering in her ear struggle as she might she couldn't get away. When she started to panic I decided to step in, because what I didn't need was her having any flash backs to her past when we had just gotten over that.

            However, before I could get up I noticed a woman in the corner clutching her glass like she was trying to break it. It was clear the whole thing was bothering her something serious, but the question was why wasn't she doing anything about it? I got up drawing everyone's attention, but instead of stopping Heck I walked over to the mysterious woman. Her eyes shot to mine, and I leaned down to whisper in her ear. When I was finished I turned, and walked out the door. About five minutes later Heck was being carried out with his leg bent in a funny angle. The site brought a smirk to my face which only grew when I saw the woman, and Jessie walked out together. I looked at Jessie with displeasure written all over my face, and told her to get in the car. She bowed her head, and leaned on the woman for support. I scrunched up my face, an said

"Alone Jess." The other woman mugged me while Jessie held her bleeding face with one hand, and used the other to get into the car. Once the door was closed she switched her attention from Jessie to me.

"Hey lady you don't have to be a bitch! If you didn't notice you're friend was just hurt." looking at her with a straight face I told her

"This world is a cruel place. If she doesn't save herself who will? The people who can are busy drinking there life away, and drowning their problems" I gave her a pointed look which clearly pissed her off.

"You don't know the first thing about me okay?" with that she began to walk off, and just like with Jessie I found her amusing.

"You're right I don't know, but you can't feel sorry for yourself forever. I left my card on the table in there. When you're ready to get up off ya ass and do something give me a call. I could show things you've never known." She huffed

" I've been all over the world I doubt you could show me anything knew". At this I smiled if only she knew.

" I could show you what real family looks like, what real love feels like, and what loyalty you don't have to question actually is. I could provide you with an escape without you running away. Besides it not like you have anything to loose." She narrowed her eyes ready to snap back a me like a vicious dog, but before she could get a word out I turned getting into the car. While the driver pulled off leaving her on the curb I gently grabbed Jessie's face to examine it. Looking up at me through her tear covered face she sobbed, and asked

"Why? Why would you do this to me? How could you put me through that. You just let him get away with it!"

"You have to take your training more serious. To me you are family which means I'll protect you the best I can, but life is unpredictable. There may come a day when I'm not there to protect you, and I need you to be able to stand on your own. This life you living it ain't free there's a price. Sometimes that's going to mean doing or going through things for me that you don't understand. If you don't believe in me after all I've done for you, or can't do that I think it's time we part ways." My knocking twice on the window caused the driver to pull over. Looking at Jessie I waited for her decision. Knowing I was short on patience when it came to indecisive, or scary bitches she quickly looked down at her lap.

" I'm sorry it won't happen again. I didn't mean to make you feel like I don't appreciate all you've done for me." Smiling I pulled some wipes out of her purse, and began to clean up her face.

"Good don't question me again, because the next time it won't be pretty I run this shit end of story."

            Jessie nodded, and after I was done cleaning her face we sat in silence for the remainder of the car ride. About four months later I got a call from the mysterious woman who's name I later learned was Hinata. Like me she was a woman of few words, but in her case no words were needed. She stood at 5'8, and was well built thanks to all the muscles she received training . Her long black hair was always styled with bangs. Today she had it wrapped in a high ponytail that reached the dip in her back above her cute apple shaped ass. Honestly I preferred it that way, because she had a beautiful round shaped face with slit round eyes thin lips, and cute freckles. She preferred different variation of the same outfits. Plain muscle shirt, jeans or leggings, black combat boots, and a black leather jacket.

            Today It was a plane white muscle shirt, black jeans, and I'm pretty sure you can guess the rest. The only jewelry she wore was the matching charm bracelets I got for myself and all three of the girls. She stood as she notified the rest of the team we we're on the move. Being twenty eight and the oldest out of all of us made Hinata feel like we were her responsibility so she took her job seriously. I switched my attention back to Jess as she brought Jahov on the line with new excitement she thought I didn't notice. I made a note to bother her about it later on while I listen to her transfer the call.

"Mr. Sosa I have Chess on the line Go ahead". He immediately started talking

"Chess baby I've missed you." Rolling my eyes I made my way out the door.

"Lies! Just telling lies and you know it you miss what I offer hunny."

"Don't be like that baby you know we have something special." At this point I had already made it to the car, and he still hadn't got to the point.

"The point Jahvo my time is money so get to the point."

"I see you're still feisty like I like it. Look though I need a meeting I have some changes I would like to discuss, and someone I would like you to meet. Only catch is I need it to happen tonight do you think you can make it happen?" Smiling all I saw was dollar signs.

"It's going to cost you especially so last minute plus you're bringing someone. Jessie will contact you with details. Goodbye." Having to have the last word he responded

"I'll be waiting love" and then hung up.
