&CHAPTER TWO&
*Britney’s P.O.V*
I walked into my room…’I need a shower’ I said to myself I got into the tub and made sure it was cold. About 2hours after that I got a knock on my door ‘Brit are you sleeping? Can I come in?’ Daniel asked ‘come in…’ I said in a low tone playing candy crush on my phone while on my bed.
*Daniel’s P.O.V*
‘Candy crush huh?...it’s childish but I like it anyway’ I said to Britney as she remained silent. She sat up without looking at me. ‘your head is bleeding’ I said ‘ill change the band-aid later’ she said touching her head ‘no…let me do it’ I offered as I walked into the bathroom to grab the first aid kit. ‘I’m sorry for the way I spoke to you…I was rude and…I’m sorry’ she said as I savaged her wound ‘no…I should be the one apologizing…all you wanted was a normal life and someone to call dad but I was not around to give you all that…don't worry about my wife and kid I’ll explain everything to them’ I said looking at her. ‘You won’t need to…’ she replied ‘what do you mean?’ I asked. ‘I’m leaving first thing tomorrow morning…I’ll disguise…I’ll be gone before the people that are after me or you realize it’ she said ‘two reasons why you can’t leave…first, the person …it’s not just one person they are like an army fully armed and smarter than you think, second; I’m not losing another daughter. I lost my first …second daughter in a car accident she was seven, she always wanted to visit an aquarium and the day we finally went we were involved in a ghastly car accident she died on impact, caused by the same people that are after you…at that time we were so close to nailing them and by ‘we’ I mean the CIA…I’m an undercover agent…these people are called the blackbirds. After her death, I knew we weren’t safe so we fled, changed identities. Faked our death and move to California to start a new life and at that time my wife was already pregnant with Gracie’ I explained. ‘ so…if you changed your identity and all how did my mum find you?’ she asked ‘she didn’t…I allowed her to…anytime someone uses my old name to research on me I get an alert…so I tracked the IP address that’s when I knew Mary was trying to find me I didn’t know why all of a sudden but I was too sure she would never do anything to harm me…I gave her all the information she needed to find me but I couldn’t trace her location…she didn’t want to be found…Apparently, Bryan was the agent she hired to find me. He said they always met at a location outside Minnesota…North Dakota’ I explained. ‘Her business trips…’ she said ‘I got over Mary but I never forgot her…if I knew she had a daughter for me I would’ve found you’ I said ‘that’s why she never got married…’ she said ‘oh…I’m sorry for not being there all your life…I’ll make it up to you but first you need to fight’ I said ‘but I don’t know how to and all this is new to me’ she replied ‘ training begins tomorrow…good night honey…you’re okay with me calling you that right?’ I asked ‘why not?...goodnight dad’ she said. I walked out with a smile on my face.
*the next morning*
*Daniel’s P.O.V’
‘Morning dad, morning Bry’ Britney said as she climbed down the stairs. ‘How was your night’ I asked ‘well due to my experience at the early hours of the night…not so good’ she said as I handed her a cup of coffee. ‘Bryan I’m going to need you brief Britney on the do’s and don’ts and take her through self-defense… I’ve got to get my family to a safe place before those punks lay their hands on them’ I said as I wore my jacket. ‘Consider it done’ Bryan said.
*Britney’s P.O.V*
‘umm…so when is my training starting’ I asked ‘now…heads up’ Bryan said throwing a knife at me, I dodged it ‘are you crazy, what on earth is wrong with you, you almost killed me’ I yelled ‘the first rule of being a C IA agent, you have to be alert’ he said ‘its confirmed you’re definitely crazy’ I said as he laughed ‘the name’s Bryan Johnson…get dressed we’re going for a run…you need to warm up before the main stuff’ he said with a wink ‘it’s been barely twenty-four hours since I moved in and you already make me sick’ I said as I grabbed a toast and went upstairs.
*ten minutes later*
‘weren’t you the one that said I couldn’t go outside’ I asked as we went out through the back door ‘that was Mr. D and who said anything about going outside’ he replied as he moved a piece of wood on the fence, exposing a wall mounted tablet, he typed in some kind of code, then a door just beside the tablet opened up it was an elevator…we were going underground ‘welcome to inside out’ he said as the lights came on ‘whoa…this is amazing’ I said as I walked in. It is a really large space that looked like the outside world but its inside. It has trees, targets, knives of different shapes and sizes, ammunitions neatly arranged ranging from an AK-47 to a pistol to a sniper and a bunch of other guns I couldn’t classify, with bullets of different sizes…’hey ,snap out of it’ he said snapping his fingers. ‘How did you get all this? Is there not some kind of government restriction on space, ammunition and this’ I said using my hands to gesture. ‘sure there is but the best part; we’re the government’ he said as he winked ‘ok that's it, the next time you wink at me I swear I’m going to stab you in the eye with a fork’ I snapped ‘whoa…calm down, I know what’s good when I see it’ he said with a smirk ‘you retarded pervert…I am going to wipe that smirk right off your face…’ I snapped ‘you’re going to have to catch me first’ he replied getting a two-second head start as I ran after him.
‘so what’s next’ I said panting, exhausted from running ‘you’re going to learn how to throw good punches’ Bryan said ‘can't I just like get a gun... go to a range and you know get some good shots’ I said giving him a friendly punch. ‘Ha ha ha…you almost got me there’ he said sarcastically ‘I hate you’ I said giving him the death look.
