see. Do I feel sad? Maybe a little because I do not know what is happening with my brothers, with Tyler. Yes, Tyler is my brother, but we don’t share the same blood. His father adopted me, and we became very close but not as brother and sister. He always cares for me, always been next to me. He showed me how to shoot people without as much as a blink of an eye. Maybe it’s not so romantic but the connection that we share is unbreakable. When I look in his eyes, I see us, not myself, nor him, us. I cannot explain what I feel for him, but I know that I will give everything to feel his touch again.

“Focus, this is something that you never have trained to perfection princess,” Well maybe it’s true but what he would do in my position? Oh yeah, he is always focused and prepared for danger. I am as well but my brain has a default and sometimes my body is present and my brain not.

“Tell me, father, do you always need to turn every single situation into some kind of training?” He smiles at my words and spreads his arms for me to hug him. I rush from my chair and jump into his embrace.

“You are right, this is not a time for training my princess but remember that your brain needs to be focused all the time because situations like this… you never know what will happen,” he whispers into my ear. I sigh loudly.

“Yes, father I know, I am sorry, but I am also confused. I don’t know what happened and where is Tyler?” My voice is not even a whisper, so I am surprised when he answers, “Ok princess, sit down, I will explain everything.”

I sit on my chair and focus my eyes on him. “Tyler and Tobias are fine, that’s for starters. I have asked them to stay in London to close some… business. Our home had been burned to the ground because of our enemies, but don’t worry your beautiful head, I have everything under control. Actually, that was unexpected but really good change of my plan.” I am shocked, good? Where the hell is something good in this situation? Our home does not longer exist, my brothers stayed in London and I have no idea where they would stay. My friends, my family, read, gang members, are maybe dead and we are peacefully flying to God know where, in a plane that God knows is whose.

“Good? Explain,” I snap.

“You see, I had planned to leave London soon, but I did not know how to do it just yet, without my enemies to suspect something, but now they helped me to realise my plan. I was working with a friend on some business in California. I invested money on something unimportant right now, and the investment has been a grant success. As you see, I can afford the freaking plane and staff, and many other things. We are travelling to California where I will be able to focus on more innovative project which would help us to live in higher standards than in London.” He is saying the words like the ‘snakes’ does not matter to him anymore. Who is that men and what did he done with my papa who had his family on the pedestal?

“I see, so now our family does not matter to you, you earned some cash and now become a businessman?” I am irritated and he can see it. His eyes turn a shade darker, but the smile stays on his face.

“You will not talk to me with disrespect ever again! You are too young to understand the problems of the bigger world because I never showed you the details of my business. This is my fault that you see me as a monster right now, but soon you will understand that this is a better option for us. Our only option.” I know that he is probably right. He always planned everything with attention to details. His plans never disappointed our family and I trust him with our lives. My shoulders relax and I exhale the breath that I didn’t know I were holding.

“Ok, I trust you with my life father, you know that already, I am sorry for my attitude before, it will never happen again.” I smile and he relaxes in his sit as well.

“My princess, I cannot be mad at you for longer than a minute. You are everything to me and I promise that our life even when it’s gonna be different, it will not change that much. All I am asking is trust and everything will be okay. Now, you are probably worried about our family, sostop to worry. Everyone is safe, actually you have been the only person left in the building at the time of the explosion. I need to tell you that you have been lucky, and it is because of Tyler. We had a meeting in West London, and you forgot about it…” he stares at me with a hard eye. ” …and Tyler noticed your lack of presence and rushed to collect you. Then, we received a call from him about the attack and that you are safe, and I have instructed the driver to bring you straight to the airport, and asked Tyler to stay with Tobias behind and find the new place for the family. They will come to us soon but first they need to take care of some business as well.” Well this is rescuing to know that my brothers and family are okay. I am wondering how long it will take for them to join us in California.

“Now, stop asking more questions and go to the bed, we have an eight-hour journey and you are probably exhausted. I need to tell you one more thing actually, I am proud of you my princess. You have been always a good shooter, but straight between the
