Well I'm back to work tomorrow so this maybe it for a week. I will try very hard to update during the week but I'm not making any promises. Thank you to all who are still following this story xx
Chapter 9
By the next morning James was up bright and early packing up their stuff into the boot of Kincade's car. He looked around him at the beautiful countryside and wished that they could stay here just a little longer.
"You all packed lad." Kincade asked, appearing at his side.
"Yeah I think so. Thanks for letting me borrow the car. I'll get someone to bring it back down to you as soon as possible."
"Don't be silly. I'll pop upto London next week. Check up on you both. Make sure you're still in one piece."
"Why isn't life simple Kincade. Silva's dead, why can't things just end there."
"That would be too easy son."
"All we wanted was some quality time together. Was that too much to ask."
"You will get that again but in the meantime you need to find whoever this person is who still wants M and you and make sure you get them."
"She can't get hurt again. She was lucky to make it out alive this time."
"She's a tough lady that one. She'll get through this little crisis."
"She means so much to me Kincade."
"Then keep her safe."
James closed the car boot as M came outside. Kincade gave her a small smile as she looked wearliy at them.
"You ready to go." James asked.
"Yes. Everything's all packed up. Kincade thank you again for taking us in and letting me recouperate."
"No need lass. Glad to help. I'm just sorry to see you go so soon."
"Well hopefully when all this is over we could back for a visit."
"Your both welcome here anytime."
"Thank you again Kincade. See you soon." She smiled, as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
She stepped back and went to sit in the passengers side of the car. James shook Kincade's hand and they said their goodbyes. James got into the car and started the engine. He gave one last wave from out of the wimdow and drove off. Kincade stood watching them leave and prayed to god he'd see them again very soon.
As James drove along the windy roads, he would glance over at M every so often and see her quiet demeanour.
"Barbara. Speak to me."
"Sorry, what."
"You're too quiet. Talk to me."
"I don't think I've ever been so afraid to go back to London."
"We'll get whoever this is. You'll have plenty of security around you."
"I don't want them. I want you, only you."
"Look what happened when it was only me protecting you before. You were shot. You ended up in hospital."
"Yes but you killed Silva. You saved me. The only reason I got shot was because of my terrible ability to shoot a gun."
"I will stay by your side as much as I possibly can. I promise."
"Stay with me."
"What."
"I need you to stay with me at the house. I need you there."
"If I start staying the night at your's then they're going to find out about us."
"I don't even think I care anymore. You're the only one I really trust with my life James. If having everyone find out about us in order for you to stay at mine then they find out."
"When I find out who it is that's doing this to us, they're gonna wish they had never been born."
"My knight in shining armour."
"That's me. Aren't you glad you gave me double O status now."
"Absolutely."
She looked over at him with passion in her eyes as she gave his left leg a squeeze and he wanted so much to pull over and have his way with her but now is not the time he told himself. He put his foot down. He needed this mess over with as soon as possible.
