CHAPTER 12
Present:
Tami opened her eyes, her head hurt from the battering of the previous day, her vision was blur and her left eye hurt. She licked her lips they were also busted. She rose up and realised she had been sleeping on the little boys lap while he was leaned against the wall sleeping. She smiled, this was a sight for sore eyes, to think this little angel would one day get himself involved in all of this criminal activities. How he got himself here right now was a mystery to her also. She pitied him, how he was in such a situation left her in awe. This little guy did not deserve this. She sighed she knew what to expect dating Jeff but at this point she wondered if she still wanted to be with him and go through all these.

Past
Tami threw her bag on the sofa as she plopped unto the sofa.
“You are home early” Jeff announced as he came into the living room. Tami looked up at him in surprise “When did you get back from Spain?”
“As soon as I killed the Korean minister. I could not wait another second to be with you” He spoke as he walked to her, he knelt down and pulled off her shoes.
“These are the weirdest conversations, must I tell you everyone I kill.” Jeff began to massage her feet.
Tami smiled as she groaned. It felt good to be pampered especially by someone you loved. “Yes” She replied “I don’t want you keeping any secrets, besides it has been three years, I am used to it now” she smiled and leaned closer to him, “plus it sort of turns me on.”
Jeff licked his lips as he grabbed her lips with his. He pulled her unto him and stood up, Tami wrapped her legs around his torso as he carried her to the room. Clothes flew to different directions of the room and soon they were making passionate love of the bed. She screamed in pleasure as she came. He continued pounding into her until he exploded. He pulled her up by her shoulder kissing on her neck as he held her close as if letting her go would kill him. They stayed in the kneeling position on the bed with her back to his front for a few seconds panting.
“Are you trying to get me pregnant?”
“Yes, are you off your meds” He asked
“No” she paused and turned her face to him “Do you...” she moved away from him and sat down facing him, “you want a child”
Jeff sat down facing her with his legs folded. “I never thought of kids, though but I just wonder how it would be to have little you running around breaking daddy's stuff.”
Tami smiled biting her lips “Or a little you sucking on mummy's tits.” she said wriggling her brows and winked.
“Oh God no, how did you just make this sexually nasty” Jeff stated hanging his head as he shook it. He laughed out loud.
How could he possibly be an evil killer when he was so angelic?
Tami laughed “Ok let me try again” she said “A little you coming out of my vagina.” She chuckled as he squeezed his nose at her
“Babe I need to ask you something.” Tami noticed his face had gone serious. She nodded her approval and he continued. “So the Inferos Assassins is an organisation that has existed for over a two centuries and well after every forty years, new leaders are chosen if well the previous leaders did not die early and well for the choosing there are seven leaders who represent the seven continents.”
Tami nodded “So are you in line for leadership?”
“What no!” She sighed in relief not knowing why but the fact that he might be leader of an assassins syndicate scared her more than the fact that he was a mere soldier.
He chuckled at her sigh “There is this extravagant dinner party held to choose leaders and well this year it is being held in France and...”
“You want me to attend” Tami asked
“I did not want you to but I am very close to our next leader, Lucien Pedrov and he wanted to make me his Beta.”
“Beta?”
“Second in command, the leader is Supreme, Beta his second in command” Jeff explained, Tami nodded in understanding “But I turned it down, however he said I had to bring you to the dinner party.”
Tami folded her hands as she thought about this. She was going to in a room with highly trained assassins “Why?” Tami rephrase her question “How does he know about me?”
“I wanted to keep you a secret from the Assassins but I could not for long. Lucien had me watched by other members so they found you out” Jeff replied “I guess he wants to meet the cop I am dating.”
“I am not a cop anymore” Tami replied running her hands through her now short hair. “Can’t you let him know that? Do I really have to be there? ”
“He knows” Jeff replied rubbing circles on her hand trying to calm her down. However it was giving her a totally different feeling aside from comfort. She was not supposed to be thinking about s*x right now.
“I am scared” Tammy replied putting her hand on his to stop his caress.
“Don’t be” Jeff moved closer “Lucien is like a father to me, Steve, Klaus and Cod, he would never hurt someone we love. Plus you get to finally meet Klaus.”
“He is out of prison?” Tami asked “Cody must be very happy”
Jeff nodded.
“So what’s it going to be?” Tami sighed as she contemplated her answer but nothing left her lips “Tams”
“I just need some time to think.” She replied
“Babe I need your answer today” Jeff replied “think of it, me and you on the streets of Paris, the city of love. It’s a vacation.”
“I am really scared Jeff. I am going to be in a room with the world’s best assassins. If that isn’t a red flag, I don’t know what is.” She made more excuses “Plus I need to get permission from work.
“Babe, you work at your dad's restaurant and he is in Rio with Zoey. I doubt he would mind.” Jeff kissed her lips “Look I know you are scared but that’s what I am here for. I would m**m, hurt, destroy and kill anyone who attempts to hurt even a strand of your hair.”
“That’s the problem.” Tami replied moving away from him slightly but his grip did not falter “You shouldn’t have to do any of that.”
“But I can and I will.” Jeff replied. It was a promise he was making.
Tami nodded “Ok fine. When is it?”
“Next weekend. It starts on Friday,” Jeff replied “We will be leaving on Thursday to have some time to ourselves”
She nodded as he kissed her forehead, “I am starving” He stated standing up from the bed “You want something.”
“Yeah but I need to get some shut eye.” Tami replied him.
“Ok, I will keep something for you in the microwave.”
