Fear

"They're back!" Lisa jolted as she pointed to the transparent glass door.

She reached out for her phone to call the cops as her dad held her hand.

"There will be no need for that" He said curtly while he snatched the phone from her.

Lisa gushed out in surprise of her dad's actions but couldn't find the appropriate words to utter at that moment.

Mrs Gina remained dumbfounded at the scene.

"What's going on here Mr Greg?" Lisa's mum yelled as she folded her arms in dismay. She often calls him that each time he does something awkward.

Mr Greg immediately walked to the door with Lisa's phone held tightly to his grip and gently opened the door for the suspicious men.

They appeared to be heavily armed with rifles and security gadgets like how Lisa thought them to be the night she had the incident.

"Dad!!!" Lisa screamed as she became more frightened by their sight.

Mrs Gina runs upstairs hastily to grab her phone so she could call the cops but she slipped clumsily and fell.

"Mummy!!" Lisa screamed as she ran to help her up.

Mr Greg quickly tried to assist Lisa but one of the guards halted him at the slightest instance.

"Sir!...we're here for our jobs. No time to waste....the enemy may be lurking around" He jolted in a deep tone.

"Ouch!....enough of this drama. Can you explain to me what the hell is going on here Mr Greg!" She yelled as her pains from the fall worsened.

"Yes sir!....we're in already" said the second guard as he spoke to his commanding officer with the wireless microphone hung on his left ear.

"Lisa's mother finally got up slowly with her eyes on the two guards standing gallantly at the door.

"Sorry honey" Mr Greg pleaded.

"Don't honey me....not until you do the needful?" She jolted.

"Dad! This isn't funny anymore....I don't understand what is happening....what business do you have with this...." She paused for a moment to look at the guards before saying her last statement "men".

"I'll explain everything but please you both need to calm down" He beckoned

They both sat curiously waiting for him to speak.

He sighed heavily and took a deep breath.

"These men are CIA agents...."

Lisa cuts in.

"CIA agents?...what for" She said shockingly.

"Yes my princess....I contracted them for our maximum protection...." Lisa cuts in again.

"Protection?...are we in danger or something cause I don't get you Dad!" She said curiously.

"Princess please stop interrupting your Dad...let him finish what he has to say okay!" Mrs Gina said curtly.

"Remember the men that attacked you?" He asked swiftly.

"Okayyyy....yes Dad" she responds curiously.

"They happened to be my old nemesis!" He replied.

"Nemesis?....." They both echoed loudly.

"Dad....you're scaring me" Lisa lamented.

"Don't be scared my princess....I'm here for you"

"It's a long story but all you need to know is there are some really bad people after our lives....I assure you that everything is under control and that's the reason why this men are here" He said confidently as the guards nodded in affirmation.

"Oh my goodness.....no wonder you've been so cold lately" Mrs Gina replied.

"I'd would never let any harm come to you both and I promise to protect you with everything in me" He responded as they all hug each other tightly.

Lisa never thought she'd ever be in such a compromising situation especially with the fact that her family's life was at stake.

Two body guards were assigned to Lisa cause her dad knew that she was the easy target of his nemesis.

She had to adjust to the new lifestyle of having guards follow her around especially when she's with Frederick.

"What's up with the bodyguards?" Frederick asked curtly as they both sat in the garden.

"Oh! That....it's a long story but let's forget about that for now. Please!" Lisa halted sharply.

"Hmm....don't you lie to me, what's wrong?" He asked swiftly as one of the guards stared at him sternly.

"Please let's have this conversation another day....can't explain now!" She responds sharply trying to avoid the conversation.

"Two bodyguards are with my girlfriend and I should pretend like everything's okay?....I demand an explanation now!" He jolted.

"Stop yelling young man!" One of the guards said angrily.

Frederick became frightened at the utterance of the guard.

Lisa had to explain everything to him and he was shocked that a man as kindhearted as Lisa's Dad would have such a mean nemesis.

"hmm....did he tell you the name of this man?" He asked nervously.

"He didn't but from the way he sounded it seems they had a lot of scores to settle" She replied sternly.

"wow! this is serious and I'm scared for my baby....stop thinking about it already. I'm sure everything will be fine"

"but I'm scared and I don't like the fact that I'll be going around with such fierce looking body guards....don't want to attract unnecessary attention especially now that I'm about going to college" She lamented.

"I get you but hope you're aware that it's all for your safety right?. Cause I know how much your dad loves you" Frederick tries to encourage her down casted mind.

"ma'am we have to leave now!" one of the bodyguards jolted.

"can't you see I'm still talking to someone...why the sudden urgency?" She said rudely.

"You can't stay out late anymore cause of the situation at hand ma'am" He replied.

"Go with them....I understand, I'd come check up on you tomorrow" Frederick said curtly but Lisa hesitates.

"but baby....I..."

He cuts in immediately

"Don't argue just go okay....tomorrow baby"

Lisa hates to be controlled or when someone tries to force her to do what she doesn't want to and at this point in her life she's scared of everything.

"Get into the car ma'am please!" The second guard said as he opens the door to her.

Lisa's countenance changed immediately but she had no choice. She grew angry at the guards and didn't hesitate to complain about their unruly behavior to her dad.
