On the outskirts of the City of Venice lived a small family. They were peace loving people,known by the name of the Winstons. A happy familly,who depend upon the woods for their living. The father was a retired special forces officer and about mother,she was a mystery. A simple father,two sons, a little princess and their mother.

"Christine,where are you,my beloved?",Clark called out loud for his wife.

"In the kitchen,my  king! Can't you wait for few minutes?",she mildly scolded him.

"Pops,you again got a scolding from mommy! You're always behind her! You're my father,my Emperor and you've got to prove your mettle!",Elisa,the youngest child scolded his father.

"Father is powerless against Momma,don't you get that dumbo?",chided Jack the eldest child of the Winstons.

"Everybody come here. Dinner is ready", Christine said in a loud voice turning everyone's attention towards her.

The whole family was having dinner in a fun and jolly mood. Suddenly there was a loud sound of hard banging roared outside their house.
They all became alert,as Clark was trained special forces officer.

"Stay down babies. Daddy is going to check what's happening outside",all of them nodded while Christine push a button that was on the dinning table. Suddenly a vault opened and she picked up dual Berretta,her favourite toy.

Clark went outside to find two vehicles rammed together in his lorry.

"Oh Jesus! Looks like some confrontation has happened here", as he could see blood splattered all around the area.

"I should call the police. This will be the best option",just as he thought of calling the police,a bullet hit his hand, breaking the mobile and wounding his hand also. He winced in pain,but managed to dodge another barrage of bullets that went for him.

The cry of Clark made Christine worried but she had faith in his abilities. Clark was a renowned marksman who was famous for his ambidextrous shooting.

"Stay strong,my King. We need you", Christine took a long breath as she grabbed her children together while keeping her iron grip on her Berettas.

"Looks like we've got a James bond of the woods here", laughter of a handful men could be heard in the surroundings. Just as they thought about being sloppy,two of them dropped down on the ground.

"What the fuck? We couldn't even see his bullets! He must've used the silencer",said a person whose voice sounded like a veteran.

"Okay,so you wanna play tough? Fine,we are going to hit your family. Let's see how much of a shooter you are?",the men said and marched towards the door of the house.

Clark jumped in the air,and flipped in mid air to dodge the incoming bullets. He fired several rounds from his desert eagle, killing four of them. One bullet hit his forearm while another made his way to his abdomen.

"Oh Jesus Christ!", another cry escaped from his mouth as he was shot multiple times in his legs.

"Yes boss! We got him this time!", cheered the men. Clark was wincing with pain as he couldn't move now.

There were only five of them remaining. They encircled Clark who was still putting up his resistance.

"Looks like this is the end! Sorry my Queen, Christine! I wasn't strong enough to protect all of you!",tears escaped from his eyes. Just as they were going to finish Clark,a barrage of bullets hit them unexpectedly.

"What the hell! Are there special officers regiment?", shouted Alexander,the bidding of Mafia.

His four members were down and now only he was alive, thanks to the bullet that hit his hands, rendering him useless.

"Are you fine,my King?", Christine asked his husband with tears in his eyes.

"Christine,you can shoot! That too with such accuracy!", Clark couldn't believe his eyes that his wife is an expert marks women,just like him.

"Looks like I'm a damsel in distress,who needs a life saving now",he laughed at his own joke.

"Keep your mouth shut! You ignorant fool!",she picked him up and took him inside. After a while,she took his bullets out thanks to her agent training.

"Mommy,Mommy! Is Daddy safe?", all the children asked in unison.

"Yes,my little ones! Your father is safe now",she finally released a long breath that she had surpressed long time.

Dark Chambers

At an unknown location,there were five persons sitting on a round table.
The one in the middle was the master while the rest were his partners.

"You are totally a worthless vermin, Joseph. I have given you a task of securing the documents of the Nike trade that is going to happen in near time,but instead of that,you bumped into one of the most dangerous couple of the modern times",said a furious  Carl,aka the Black Horse,the undisputed king of the crime world.

"Sir,you can give me one more chance! I'll definitely prove my worth to you",pleaded Joseph, the gun lord of the America.

"I don't give second chances to ones who fail at first, because it's the only chance I give",said Carl and with a sign of his hand, bullets rained upon Joseph, killing him instantly.

"What the hell Carl? He was one among us,and a trusted one also! His killing won't give a positive sign in thr crime world", shouted Christine, the Empress of the crime lords.

"My Lady! You are not aware of the fact that there are lot of uprisings going since you left and Joseph was funding those uprisings",Carl justified himself.

"Untill next time,you all are dismissed! Queen,you stay!",all except Christine left the chambers.

"What's going on Charles?", Charles was pen name given to Carl by Christine.

"It's about your Sister,the Red Tide",and with that silence prevailed over the room.
