The Bodyguard

Chapter 16

Hudson's POV:

"Oh, come on, Hudson! Buy her the dress." A familiar voice commented amused.

You got to be kidding me!

I turned around to see Ray standing next to Pandora and giving me her sweetest smile.

The last time I saw her she was bleeding out of an seven inch wide wound. We were on a mission in Prague and she begged me to shoot her.

Honestly, I hoped that she had died. But of course she did not. Cockroaches always find a way to crawl through holes.

But I would have known if she had died. I would've gone from Agent 27 to Agent 26.

"What are you doing here, Ray" I hissed.

I have always hated her. From the first moment I met this woman I knew she meant trouble. And when I got to know her I experienced her kind of trouble. It involved drugs, dynamite and death.

She put her arm around Pandora's shoulder and pulled her jerkily closer. Pandora's face went pale and her eyes locked with mine.

I saw that she was scared. Unfortunately, all I could think about was how beautiful her eyes were.

A dark navy tone on the outside, melting into a lighter turquoise. The inside had a warm brown which made her eyes seem like they had every single color in them. I guess that's what made them so mesmerizing.

"Ah, you know! Shopping and stuff like that" a girl in a short blue dress showed up.

Of course! Who else would it be if not Berry!

Berry and Ray stuck together from day one. They're a great team but also hella annoying and evil.

"Agent 12! Great to see you, too" I greeted her sarcastically.

The cashier next to me gave me a questioning look. I pointed to the storeroom in which he quickly disappeared.

Berry squeezed my upper arm "Ou, you gained muscle since the last time we saw each other."

Filled with disgust I pulled my arm away.

Everything Berry does she does to trigger someone.

I risked a glimpse in Pandora's direction. Her lips were pressed to a thin line and she stared on her feet tensely.

"What do you want?"

Berry wrapped a strand of her red hair around her finger and gave me a seductive look while biting her lip.

"You" Ray was still smiling.

I hated these two from the bottom of my heart.

When I first started at the NSJP they told us to not make any friends. They would make us weak. I made the mistake to do it anyway.

His name was Scooby, at least that's the name he chose. We were divided in four teams, consisting of 50 Agents each.

Our team leader formed two groups. One of each group would get in a fight ring and fight till death. Scooby got in the ring with Ray.

I was sure he would beat her. He was tall, wife shoulders, dark skin, short hair and a positive appearance. I wanted him to win.

But Ray wasn't playing fair. She acted like she was hurt and Scooby felt pity. That's when she took her chance, rammed her nails in his eyes, kicked him in the stomach and broke his neck.

I hate this woman.

"Fine. Whatever you want. But first, you let her go" I replied quietly.

The two of them exchanged looks and Ray let go of Pandora.

She glared at me while stepping away from Ray.

Berry snorted as if she just finished doing something strenuous.

"Cool. So let's go" She shrugged.

I pulled Pandora to me and asked the two agents to give me a second so I could say goodbye.

When they agreed I lead Pandora to the back of the store so we could talk in private.

"I am not leaving you alone" she whispered nervously.

I could hear the fear in her voice and I couldn't help myself but smile about the fact that she was worried about me.

"Go to the Starbucks store we passed earlier and wait for me. If I'm not there in about an hour. Take the car and drive back to the house. Wait for Glenda to come home and tell her what happened. You can trust her, she will help you" I explained as I took her hands in mine and placed the car key in them.
