After dinner, i sent Charlie up to his room to prepare and after that i cleaned up the dishes and off to my room to call James "Mr Lockwood, who is this " he answered after the second ring
"James, are we still on for tonight "
"Ah yes David still on for tonight "
"Ok see you in a few "
Immediately after the call i hopped into the shower. I decided to go PJ style so as not to draw attention to ourselves, i think i also have to dress Charlie like this but it seem he thought ahead of me and wore the same thing "look daddy, we are wearing the same thing "
"Yes you are right buddy and we look cute " i said as Charlie giggles
"Noo papa i wanna look hot " chocking on spite was really funny to Charlie, i wonder who taught him that word "Charlie who taught you that word "
"Oh Miss Smith did "
What, is she serious right now; teaching my son bad words "oh did she now well i hope you are not going to miss her because she is getting fired "
"Yes finally, she always acts like a mean cow "
A mean cow, i wonder where he learnt that from "alright now come on, we have to get going "
Our drive to Lockwood Tech wasn't that long, it was just a few minutes away from our house.
"Alright pup, i need you to be good and be careful for papa ok "
"Ok papa"
Going up wasn't a hassle, the place empty i mean for someone who under a threat he sure is careless with his security, i just thank God that brought a gun with me. Anyways we got up to the last floor with surprisingly other offices in it....ummm
"Hey David over here " James called us over to what i supposed is his office "hey ummm hi "
Uhmmm..... nervous i see well he should be "hey " Wow this is so awkward, very awkward
"Uhmmm hey so i invited you here bec- "
"Wow wow are not going to offer us a sit " Yup i am so going to make this difficult for him
"Right right sorry please have a sit " Huh this is quiet funny to see; James Lockwood being nervous huh never i would see this day.
"Continue "
"Ok so i invited you here because...look i'm just gonna say it, i don't trust Marcus "
"Umm so you noticed too huh , Marcus has always been a weird guy always on the edge but today.... today was different almost like he seeking something, looking for something but....i can't believe what you are trying to say i mean Marcus is like a father to us, he is the reason why i am still alive, he saved me so i think you let it go, it's not important "
"i am sorry but i can't, look i know it hard for you to believe but something fishy is going on with Marcus and i gonna find out "
"Are you serious right now James, your life has been threatened, what part about that don't you understand "
"And that is why i hired you, to protect me so do your job ok! "
"Come on tell me how i am supposed to protect when you don't even try to protect yourself, come on James lets be real here you have no security guard with you here i mean no one is even here right now, you are alone !"
"Ok ok fine can we stop yelling at each other now, we are scaring the kid "
Oh God Charlie "hey buddy are you ok "
"Yes daddy I'm fine "
"I am sorry for yelling "
"Is ok i like yelling too "
"I am sure you do to " Please don't remind me of the shouting and screaming phase of Charlie, that kid almost gave me a heart attack
"Hey Charlie, how are you "
"I'm fine "
"My name James "
"Uncle James "
"Yes that's me "
"My daddy says that i am going to live with you "
"Yes that's true so charlie would you like to live with me "
"Ummm yes please "
"Aww so cute, look i got you a present "
"Reaww "
"Yes baby really, now you just wait why i go get your present "
"Ok " Wow i am surprised that Charlie is talking to a stranger and not only that but also accepting a gift from anyone that's not me i mean Charlie has always been a good and shy boy, never talking to strangers or collecting things from them even when i allow he to ; he never does so this is pretty much a surprise for me
"Here you go buddy "
Oh hell no, a complete set of the famous cho cho train is way too expensive for a gift to a child but seeing Charlie so happy i think i can let this one slide "hey pup i bet you can set up your new train by yourself right "
"Yes i can papa "
"Good now while you do that why don't i and uncle James go discuss some adult business "
"Ok daddy "
"Alright pup if you need anything just come over and no yelling ok "
"Ok papa " l Left Charlie in the play room that James has in his office, i wander why but that ain't my business so i didn't bother to ask, i don't want to involve myself immensely in James's business.
"So David i have something to tell you that wasn't mentioned in the meeting today "
"What "
"The unknown caller delivered a package to my house and in it was a flash drive "
"Wow, did you open the drive, did you see what was inside "
"Unfortunately i didn't, a code is need to open the flash drive and I don't have it "
"Were is the drive "
"It here with me"
"James you can't keep carrying it around, you can lose it and i know for a fact that you are clumsy as f**k "
"And how did you know that "
Back in high were i watched you like a creep was what i wanted to say "i just very observant "
"Anyways we will move to your house by Monday and after that we will try to crack the code to the flash drive now i need you to tell about the protection in your house "
"Well the walls and windows are bulletproof and an underground safe room with only i know off "
"That's good "
"Look David i know that i have turned your li- "
"Just stop we will talk about that later not now " seeing his hurt face didn't bring me any joy but i don't think i am ready to talk about it
"Ok umm i also have a fully installed and up to date weapon's room too"
"Awesome James, that is great but i think it's time for us to get going, it is getting late and i having a bad feeling "
"Umm sure goodnight David "
"What are you doing " I said as i see him sitting down on his chair
"Umm you said that you were going home "
"Yes but i meant all of us now pack up " Leaving no room for complain and i think he noticed that too
"Ok alright fine" he said packing up what i presumed are important documents
After we picked up charlie, we got into the elevator and out the front door "so i will see you on Monday but i will still in touch with you so you need to stay at home for now "
"Stay at home but why "Seriously is he really whinnying like a child
"Stay at home, don't go out i am serious James "
"Ok fine, good bye charlie " he said already walking to his car
"Good bye uncle James"
We got to our car,i buckled Charlie in to his car sit and as i was going to my side of the car i heard a gun shot .....shit
"Charlie please stay in the car and don't open for anyone other than me ok"
"Ok daddy "
I run to the other side of the parking lot and found James in his own pool of blood and the documents gone
Shit
