No Flaws in Perfection P.4

They arrived at the small safe house James had told her about while she had though to who it could be. Well, who the people tracking her could be. She had one person in mind but it didn't make much make sense. They were supposed to have died years ago. They car hit a speed bump a little fast and Nat head slammed against the door of the car.

"You okay, Кукла?" James asked glancing over.

"Yeah. Just a headache. How much longer?"

"Not too long, I don't think. Any idea of who is tracking you?"

«да может быть, Алексей.»

He pursed his lips as she spoke. "Hmm. That can't be good, can it? Anyways here we are." He pulled up to an older looking apartment that didn't look stable but she didn't care. The yard was excellent and big and a loud dog was barking at the door. They got out of the car and were walking towards the house when she flinched and leaned into him, a little freaked out by the dog.

"It's alright , Doll. He won't hurt you," he told her but still wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close. She could see the big Shepherd through the window panes and it was growling at her. Normally she wouldn't be so freaked out over a dog but the last ordeal she had been through kind of spiced things up. "Max! Cut it out boy!" He unlocked the door and checked the food bowl, unaware Nat was refusing to come inside. She was still shaking and wanted to go back to the car instead of inside. James came back out and held her waist again.

"Come on. Your fine. He won't hurt you. We can get you all situated and hen you can lie down. I have things to do." He told her gently and she let him lead her inside the house. The dog was busy eating and didn't care to look at her except to bare its teeth when James reached Nat's hand dog to pet the dog. Then he lead her into the bathroom and started to clean off her wounds. She let him and once he was done he pulled her into his arms and carried her through the house to his room. He set her down and started to go but she cried out, "Please don't go!", and snatched his metal hand. He turned and saw her pained expression then went and layer on his bed next to her. She curled up right into him and tried to calm her shaking.

Hours later a high pitched cry and a gun sounded. A thud hit the ground and James felt it was Max that had been shot. He frowned and Nat bolted up from her dream right away. "They are here again!" She shoved her head into his shoulder away form the world for a few moments.

"Natalia? I've come to get you my love."

James gently stroked her hair and pulled her into a closet with him, gently shushing her. "Come on love. Tell me where you are I know you didn't leave!" The accented Russian voice was loud and echoed through her head. She was having a mini panic attack. But when the closet opened she completely freaked out more as James took out the tracker. The person she had suspected.

Alexei.
