CHAPTER FOUR:WENDY.

Jim Lopez pov

~~~

-six hours before the abduction-

Fuck!

I had to wait for Angelina to leave, so as to not create more suspicion that we just walked into the lion's den willingly with no idea.

She had been one nosy and smart child,who wouldn't hesitate to snoop around to find if i still had some unfinished business with the underworld.

And was she wrong in what in what she's doing?

No.

Because i did still had some unfinished business with the crew,which i had abandoned a long time ago to take care of my kids.

I won't really say that it was only for their sake that i did what I did.That i quit being the richest and famous hitman in the underworld,who did the dirty business for the white house.

It also had to do with the fact that i had accepted a contract, that might have been the reason why we have been on the run for years.

I was warned against taking that contract.Niko,my associate, really did tell me how dangerous it was for what i was about to do.

But fifty million dollars was no small money to be rejected,all because i was afraid that it was a business deal coming from the white house.

I didn't know them.Not at all.

All i did was to receive their picture,and the half payment before i indulged in doing that, kidnap the duo.Regardless of what Niko said about it being a really messy job that might ruin my life.

But you see,I wasn't really the kind of man who gets scared just because of some sillly threats coming from people all around the world to kill me.

No.

I had seen way worse than that, and i had done really bad shits that is way more dangerous than what i did.I didn't give a damn care about what Niko said.

But maybe,I should have done that because i really did fucked up for accepting that deal, that put a threat to my life and entire existence.

I was accused of murdering the late prime minister and his wife afterwards,and being tagged a threat to the underworld and the world was not really funny.

That was the very first time i had the assumption that things would start going shady for me and my kids,that's why i took them along with me away from Country Z.

No one really knew that i had kids except Niko,and i trusted that he wouldn't say shit about me or my girls if eventually he threatened to spill shits about me.

I would rather die than see my girls being involved in shits that were caused by their father,I haven't been a really good father to them ever since Angelina's mother left.

Anna was another product of a one time fling,who I couldn't abandon.I wasn't honest and a principled man doesn't have anything to do with  my blood.

I took Anna because her mother was anything,but a good option for my girl who looked exactly like me.Her father and that's what i feared most regarding my job.

If i had left her with her slutty mom,it wouldn't really sound as a surprise  if my girl was used as leverage to hunt me down, because Cassie.Her mom would do anything for the money.

I do love my kids,but i failed as a good father.I failed to provide them the normal life every other kid had.

That should have been a huge reason for not bringing them into this messed up world of mine,but shit! I loved my kids.

Angelina, reminds me so much of her mother.The only woman i have ever loved but she left because unlike any of my kids, that were strong enough to look past the fact that their dad was a hit man.

She left,she wasn't interested in being on the run with the most wanted criminal in the country. Not that it didn't really break my heart that she left,but maybe that's just for the best.

If she had been around, that would have been another problem i would have to face because just like her daughter,she's too stubborn and wouldn't have really agreed on relocating the way my girls and i have been doing for years.

Well,I expected more.Like,I literally thought that we would have stayed here much longer than i think,but the early call from Niko after  many years to tell me that someone was after my life.

It wasn't really scary that much anyway, because I have  gotten used to it that I would nefer have a peaceful life,but i wanted to make a difference for my children.

I would have listened to Niko for the second time.This was not the first time I'm paying dearly for not listening to him,but i was much more afraid of stopping Angelina from going to school,she wouldn't hesitate to give me a piece of  her mind.

If anything,I knew that she was only listening to me these days because of Anna,and also because she had no other choice.

The world is a dangerous place,and she knows absolutely nobody out there and if  she  decides to leave,I wouldn't let that happen anyway.

But I had to let her go. She's a strong lady who wouldn't hesitate to use the few skills i have taught her whenever she's in danger to save herself.

But yet,I couldn't look past the fact that maybe i could have prevented her from leaving,  maybe i could have  driven her to school to ensure her safety.

I didn't know who was  out there to kill me,Niko had clearly said that it wasn't the white house,or the circle but someone who had killed the son of the state councillor.

I saw the news,and it was such a gruesome sight.His whole body was decapitated,making it difficult to identify him and his father doesn't know who did that.

That was something that would have me worried, because i would rather be dead than to watch someone take my girls,and do to them what they did to the son of the state councillor.

I promised to keep them safe,and i wasn't joking when i had promised Angelina that  no harm would come towards her and Anna.

Well, that's until i heard it.

Anna's screams from downstairs.

I grabbed my gun,and carefully came out of my room while looking carefullly to check if there was anyone outside ,but i found no one or anything suspiciou.

She's downstairs with her new teacher,whose name is Wendy,she doesn't look dangerous and Anna didn't seem to be afraid of her either when she came a few minutes after Angelina left for school.

But there's not any suspicious movement outside,which leaves only her teacher as the option.

What has she done to my girl?

I couldn't help but get worried.Looking at my wristwatch,I figured  that it wouldn't be long before Angelina got back from school.

So, whatever it is that i had to do to whoever made my girl freak out from downstairs,I had to act fast before she gets back home to see that i just murdered someone.

They don't like the sight of blood, especially Anna,that has been the reason for her being mute and it's all my fault for what i did years back.

With careful steps i took down to the sitting room,I held tight onto my gun and finally got in to see Anna perched down on the ground with her knees up,as she hugged herself.

She's scared,and there's no sight of Wendy.I shouldn't have left them all alone,Anna was not friendly to anyone.

"Sweetheart"I called,once I'm done checking the house to see that there's no sight of her teacher.

I rushed up to where Anna was, and she jerked when my hands touched her shoulders, turning to see who it was.She relaxed and hugged me immediately,from fear.

"Where's your teacher?"I asked, pulling away from the hug  as she shook her head in negativity that she knew nothing of her whereabouts.

"What did she do  to you?"I asked further,and she turned to bring her note and pen to write something down.

Turning back to pass her note to me,I saw her gasping and tensed to figure out that someone was behind me.

But as i was too late and slow in turning to find that teacher,who was nothing but an undercover spy for the white house or some organization i know nothing about that wanted me dead.

I felt something touch my neck which rendered me weak instantly. Anna's scream was what i heard again as she rushed up to fight back at Wendy,who held a syringe in her hand and a proud smirk hanging  on her face.

My legs buckled,and i was down even before i could do anything to protect my kid. Wendy held her arms as she cried loudly,while thrashing  on her hold to let go so that she could  save her dad.

"Let…h..er go..o"I heard myself saying,I had to save Anna.

I was scared.

Niko was right.

That's the first time i have felt that way, because the darkness slowly invaded my system that was already weak to fight,as a result of the injection.

I knew that i had fucked up once against,and this time there's no escape for me, neither Anna or Angelina.

"He's out boss,"I heard Wendy say,before passing out finally with the safety of my girls still on my mind.
