Chapter 4 Being shot

Oliver stared at Lisa as she stood in front of him. They were in the garden, and present with them there were four other persons. Those two who confronted Lisa and two other boys.

"Your mother, where is she admitted?" He asked, with authority sounding in his voice.

Lisa had told them that the reason she wanted to leave was because of her mother. She wanted to go pay her bills and see her for the last time.

Not wanting to tell the truth, knowing her boss would use it to his advantage, she thought of a lie.

"The city's hospital" She made sure to be reluctant, that say it would sound as if she was telling the truth.

"Now let me tell you what you don't know. There are cameras watching everything you do in this house, so don't play stupid with me" A warning laced on his voice.

"What? What if am having my bath, that is not right to watch other people's nakedness" Lisa complained, with her mouth opened.

The others chuckled, except Oliver - who kept a straight face.

"Kneel" He ordered.

What?

Lisa couldn't believe that a man, or should she refer him as a boy, told her to kneel.

Like, the sharp mouth Lisa? The tough Lisa.

"I have had....." She was disrupted by his icy voice, along with his angry face, widening his small blue eyes a little bit.

"I said, fucking kneel!"

With the way his voice sounded, Lisa had no other option than to obey.

Unwillingly, she slowly knelt down.

"Next time you try to act smart, I will make sure to wipe your entire family, beginning with your mum who is currently at the hospital...Currently I have eyes on her over there, and she's not at the city's hospital. Upgrade your lying skills, it's gonna be needed" He stood up and was about leave, but the next thing Lisa said got him extremely furious. I wouldn't say it got him angry, because he was always angry, so extremely fits it.

"Don't you dare touch my mother!. Am sure your mother didn't teach you some manners. You son of a bitch" She couldn't keep the words to herself, she had to challenge him. Knowing what she said came with a consequences, she was waiting for his reaction, but nothing happened for two minutes. He just stood there, staring at her, maybe thinking of the punishment to give her.

The men there wanted to react, but he stopped them by raising his left hand up.

He could kill her mother and nothing would go wrong, but he...

Taking a gun from one of the men there, he cocked the gun and aimed at her leg.

Just like the way children screams when watching horror films, Lisa screamed her lungs out.

The pain was something she couldn't explain, it was new. She had never experience the kind of pain.

Blood started oozing out from her leg which he shot.

"Take her to the infirmary" He muttered to the men, and without feeling remorseful for what he did, he walked away.

"Argh. Arhhhhhhhh" She was loosing lots of blood that she even thought she was gonna die.

THE NEXT DAY

**************

Amelia walked into the house. After a long flight to Rome, she felt tired.

"Welcome back" Most of them greeted as they saw her. She was too weak to reply, all she did was waved at them.

She didn't have to carry her bag, when they were lots of people willing to carry it for her.

"To my room" She instructed the girl who was with her bag.

While the girl took her bag to her room, she walked to Oliver's room.

Without knocking, she opened the door and walked in.

The sweet fragrance which she had missed so much, welcomed her.

She smiled as she walked inside.

Her smiling face turned into a frown when she noticed he wasn't in the room.

She became angry, angry that he wasn't home to welcome her.

"Dickhead!" She cursed and walked out of the room.

Heading to the other apartment where the others stays, she met Hunter on his way.

Hunter was one of Oliver's favorite guys. They were good when it comes to going on important missions, and also succeeding.

"Hey, babe" He winked at Amelia.

"Hunter darling, how are you" Amelia was also good at flirting. Nothing serious was going on between them, she just likes flirting.

She learnt flirting from the very best master. Oliver!

If an award was given for the best flirts every time, Oliver probably would have lots of medals.

In order to work with them, you have to learn some things. Things like, flirting, seducing, lying, fighting and being smart.

"Where's Oliver?" She directly asked him, without cutting corners.

"Oh. He was called for something urgent" Hunter replied, truthfully.

"And you didn't go with him?".

"You know how he is. He's too determined." Hunter said and they both laughed.

"Silly him. I will go get some rest".

"How was your mission?" Hunter asked.

Silence stepped in, but it faded after some time.

"Failed" She replied, with tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

Hunter opened his mouth in surprise. Amelia had never went on an unsuccessful mission, most people envy her because of it.

Even the 'Oliver' learnt very well from her. He learnt his skills, how to be cunning, and all, from her. It was only flirting that she learnt from him.

Amelia didn't want to cry in front of him, so she held herself. Her aura was too great for people to see her tears.

She quickly walked away, even before he could stop her.

*****

Lisa opened her eyes, she found herself in a room. How did she ended up there.

She tried to stand up but couldn't. Her leg was hurting so bad, and her body being heavy.

She bent her face down to her body and saw that she was chained.

Her leg was bandaged and she was still in pain.

How could he? He shot her!

"No!" She roared.

How was she gonna get up.

As she was contemplating on what to do, she saw a figure standing by the door.

"Your mother, she is...."

Lisa didn't wait for him to finish what he was saying.

"It can't be, it can't just be!" Tears suddenly started pouring from her eyes, rolling to her cheeks.
