Rania’s Point Of View
I escorted Amy and Victor from the apartment to their new home, where security was already in place. I could relax and enjoy life inside the house perimeter while the cordon Antonella originally designed handled our charges.
Antonella had the best possible security installed, with state-of-the-art cameras, motion sensors, laser trips, and pressure-sensitive plates throughout the house. The alarm system monitored the house by floor and area, switching on and off depending on where authorized people were.
The city municipality knew who Greg and Amy were, so it placed two police officers immediately outside the front gates, a warning to thieves or troublemakers.
When Greg arrived from the airport, he ran up the driveway, calling my name so enthusiastically that it wrung the romantic girl inside me out of the killer I had become. After he swept me into his arms, I led him to our bedroom, where I unpacked my boyfriend’s luggage while he regaled his entire tedious journey, the details of which I could not get enough of.
While Greg showered, I sat on our bed, unholstering my twin Glock 19s and shrugging off the shoulder harness that strapped them to me. I stared at the guns, feeling that they were offensive to my unborn baby. I felt like a small dinghy rolling on an enormous ocean amid huge waves.
When my boyfriend stood naked in front of me, I felt aroused, but that wasn’t difficult given my hormonal state and the fact we hadn’t seen each other in two days. Ordinarily, we made love every day, and I needed that right now.
“You seem troubled, Rania. What’s wrong?”
“Amy is a difficult woman to protect Greg.”
“It’s time you took up her offer to be more gainfully and safely employed, honey. You have knowledge and skills easily transferable from combat to the boardroom. She understands that and wants to use it to her benefit and yours.”
