“What the hell was that shot, Walters?!”
Alex lowered the gun she is holding and turned to Zach, who is shooting daggers at her after the target shooting session she just had completed. She took off her goggles and earmuffs. It was the following and the minute that she had arrived, she was ordered to head straight to the gym, towards the target shooting area where Zach is waiting for her.
When she arrived at the venue, she was surprised to see that it was only Zach that is waiting for her.
“Not my day, Mr. Montgomery,” Alex replied calmly as she took out the empty magazine and placed it on the ledge. “Or just a slow start for me today.”
“Really? Well, I got the whole day, Walters,” Zach answered evenly. “Another round!”
She stood rigid, looking at him stonily before turning back to her area and grabbed for another magazine, loading up the gun. She put on her goggles and earmuffs back, unlo

He could hear them discussing possible entry points as he approached them.“We were able to infiltrate their CCTV system,” Malcolm informed when he looked up. “My men are just connecting the monitors to for visuals. Information so far, we had received that it’s a group of men, around ten of them.

She immediately noticed that the hallway is dimly lit from the emergency lights that were strategically placed.“We’re in,” Mark informed over the radio. “The gym is fifty feet away from our position.“We’re by the locker rooms of the gym already,” she heard Zachary’s voice.She looked towards the hallway and caught a glimpse of the SWAT team from the window going through the entrance opposite from where they went in. She could hear muffled cries from the gym as well as shouts and orders from the gunmen.“We need to split up,” Mark instructed.Alex pulled out her phone and checked the images of the plan that Zach had sent to them before they took off.

She looked up when she heard the bell from the entrance sound and frowned.Vincent Worthington, her stepfather’s stepbrother walked inside the diner and stopped when he saw her.

Zachary opened his eyes, removing his hand from the back of Jacinta’s neck when she finally pulled away and rolled off on top of him on a Wednesday morning. He cradled her to his side as she snuggled up to him, kissing his uninjured shoulder.“For someone who just got out of the hospital, you still know how to make me happy and sated,” she said with a teasing smile on her face. She propped her elbow up, supporting her head while her other hand drew circles on his broad chest, caressing the few hairs lightly.“Well, I haven’t fully paid my doctor yet,” he commented with a grin.Jacinta laughed as she straddled one leg over his and rested her chin on his chest.“I can collect the remaining balance later,” she replied jokingly. “I need to get ready to do some rounds on my patients.
