Devastating Secret™

Change of Heart

Chapter 7

"Sir, Venus is already on route to the Beast eta ten minutes.

Noah nodded and the followed the agent out. He almost forgot he had to speak on his changes to the

protective services. Eva and both his Secretaries of Defence and Veterans were joining him on the

podium. He was giving his soldiers, homeland security and the rest of his protective forces a very

expensive upgrade.

He joined Eva in the Beast and then they were boarding Air Force and flying to Detroit. Then they were

back in the beast heading to where the outdoor rally would take place. Throughout the entire trip no

words were spoken between them.

The guest speakers droned on until it was Noahs turn to speak when suddenly Eva uttered before he

walked on Good luck. Noah never even acknowledged the sentiment, just stuck out his arm for her

to take it and they both plastered a smile on their faces as they approached the podium.

While Noah went through the motions of his speech, Eva kept her face pleasant and clapped at the

appropriate times. Her eyes watched the reaction of the crowd to his words. Not all were pleased he

wanted to spend their tax dollars on better equipment for the people that gave their lives to keep

them safe, but she knew Noah would find a way to do it, he had promised his friends at the bureau.

Some stupid bitches were screaming at him like a bunch of fan girls. It was one the things Eva hated at

these things, women wanting him, touching him, it tested her restraint. One bitch in particular moved

closer to the stage, no doubt to be first in line for a kiss when he comes down from the podium.

She wasnt even particularly pretty, Eva thought smugly, in fact she looked odd. Evas rote clapping

ceased for a second as she watched her. The woman was wearing baggy jeans, baseball cap and a tank

top with a shirt tied around her waist – she wasnt exactly a fashionista – but what really concerned

Eva was when the womans face. It changed for a split second from adoring fan girl to murderous rage

then it returned to fan girl status. Discretely Eva moved closer to Noah, since murdering fan girl keep

her eyes on him, most likely he was the target.

She was about to alert the Secret Service when the gun came out. Noah had taken a step from behind

to podium and was waving Eva over, but Eva didnt glide across as she customarily did at the end of

these things, Eva dove on top of him. Then he heard the shot. Noah felt Eva jerk against him, but she

was up in a heartbeat and turning with his gun in hand taking a shot at the fleeing shooter.

The Secret Service moved to cover her, but Sam ordered Leave her! A shot went off and the shooter

was down.

Eva dropped his gun then turn to Noah Baby are you alright? She gasped out blood spewing as she

spoke
