Very slowly she looked up with narrowed eyes crowned with dissatisfaction.

I don't know why but she looks close to breaking apart. As if I pushed her buttons.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOEgMBlnBi
Her lips quiver but she didn't say anything until she was head to nose with me. Damn close. Her scent is better than chicken if we're talking about other plate to devour. She sagged with a heavy sigh, "Since I made too much, nothing should go to waste." She wants to reason with me the logical way. But need her true emotions. She's more than that to me. "Why?" I held her hands, she's still hiding, A simple touch can shatter the wall, "These men protect me how I treat my patients." She sniffed. "When I was alone in the car with them.."

"Did they do something to you?" She scoffed. "No!" Like stating impossibility, she dragged the word.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAMRDB0gQu
I relaxed. Otherwise, There'd be one more death by my hands.

".. Everyone was ready to sacrifice themselves for me. Some even did, but no-one said a word to me..."

I cut in, Correcting her "It's because you're my Woman. You're off limits. It's their Job you're thinking too much." It aghast her. But this is the truth. She's insecure an nearly empty, I support her, Always. She doesn't need to look around.

"Callen, they didn't even look like they'd reply me. I want your people to accept me. Right now, I'm only attracting danger, I'm an encumbrance to you all!" Devastated she said. Her head hung in shame. She is getting it all wrong. I cup her face in both my hands and lift up her head, I need her to look at sincere mine.

"Their duty is to protect you. Because I say so. None other matter should be your concern." She is at a loss of words, I continued. Until she understands..
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsHwuVThOp
"They are trained for this, have been through this, working for me only for this Purpose! Protect us with their lives."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjd3K0A3Qd
"But I'm receiving hostility! Not Respect! 'I' have to repay what 'I' receive." She reasoned yet again.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0NunqcBxr
"Keep loving me and I'll give you all the respect in world." I gave her the solution. It's pretty simple.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlImg2yWlhS
She broke away. I pursued her, holding her by her arm, I kept her steady and attentive only to me.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAxT5H6vfS
"You don't understand, this is Mafia. Attacks like this happen often. Even without you. You're not the cause of this. Stop blaming yourself." She grew numb. All along she's blaming herself for the deaths she saw.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdUliuM0xh
It's her first time experiencing this kind of pain. It has gotten to her.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgghi1Q2y8Q
I pulled her close to me. Her heart to sync with mine, her ear pressed to my chest.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwksQW165E
"Calm down, Zenovia. It's going to be okay."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IEkiE7cCa
"Do whatever you want. But it should stay as formal as it can be."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1aMobbFfr
I heard a knock and my work flooded back to my brain. She pulled away. I hurried to the door.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VV2pAvV37
"I suggest you keep to yourself to avoid trouble for them." Before I see myself off I warned her, just in case.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQvP93582Q
"Callen I just want to be of use, and help anyway I can." I heard her, before disappearing with Claude.

No time to start when we reach the office and sit. I motioned him to start speaking. Putting on the shirt Claude made available right on spot.
"Their warehouses are found. Our spices are on location and we have abducted their grandchildren. Each one of them."

"Where are they kept?" Very good. This way, we have their major weakness in our hands.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3X5VQZeq6
"Here, in the Basement. Sir" In the dark. Just kept alive.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh3zPCDVyp
"Why didn't you call me! I was down for 14 fuckin' hours!" I flared remembering he could have informed these details much before.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEYKBuXvuD
"Ma'am said it's your order, Not to disturb you." He staggered. Oh, my darling cares about me. I'll let it slide.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHJNC3Z6Zx
"How did you know I was up Now!??" He did appeared at the right time. Just when we went quiet.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7HgRTZYxH
"You both were bickering like old couples. I couldn't help stick my ear for gossip sake." He snikered
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG8AMH6PAC
Stopping, I glared at him. Though going back to that, so cute she was.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDO7s8l5oY
Sad, happy, lost, hurt, I love all about her, since it's her. I'll go to any extent to keep her close to me.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX7LPWiKbY
"I'm sorry sir. It won't happen again." Panicking he apologized.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDspogoZC8V
In the office, I issued out orders to blast four of their major territories. Everything was carried out in ruckus to make up for the time we lost.

"Transfer Zenovia to the main house. It's safe to head back. In a few days she'll be asking to join the hospital back. It'll be convenient from there." The old guy I trust for years received the order.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wFLMuYvnY
She's going to ask little by little to return to her old life. Trying to reach whatever her life offered, what she had, before the chaos.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPc9xPQixk
I just have to be prepared to agree to her,
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q7r3aMMaS
"Yes Sir." Out he went.

"About the dog, sir, we have it admitted. Injuries aren't deep. It'll recover in a week's time." He was found in one of Hugo's hotel room, probably from where my brothers picked up zenovia from. Luckily the dog was spared. Investigation was over quick. Silver's health had been bugging me since I found him lifeless on the floor, in the corner.

"Great. I'll visit him tomorrow." A smile crept up my solemn face, she'll first try searching for him herself, she won't find him, disappointed she'll request me. Happily I'll grant her wish.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wl97AJcQB
"Yes, Sir."

The shirt was brought and I didn't have the luxury to eat together with my beloved but I can atleast eat what she made with so much love, She sent via Glenn.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00PTqWZsyp
I don't like the fact she might have interacted with him and other in the process. I can only sit back and sooth myself from the fact that she has me in her heart.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUamRcrEDv
Only me.

I noticed agitation in Parker's features, another one of my close trusted men.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryKJRfujZ3
"What is it, Parker?" Rather deep I ask, He straighten in alert. "Sir, About the House."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiuMsQiKnV
Zenovia's house I instructed to be rebuilt just the way it was before. "What about the house?" I grew edgy. Damage done shouldn't hurt my girl. "Permission.." he quieted but disappointment was caused. "I'll have zinovia's signature" though it'll be hard. By any means, that isn't the problem. Paperwork is secondary. "Has the construction started or not?" A no will do no good. "Yes, sir."
