Chapter 11
Robin went to work that night. The restaurant was not busy. She occasionally glanced over at Michael but he didn't acknowledge her. She felt guilty about their previous conversation. When her shift was over she left out of the restaurant and went to her car. She took her keys out to open her car door when she felt cold steel on her back. She turned around and she gasped when a tall lanky man was holding a gun to her. He was dress in black.
"Just keep quiet, don't try anything" he whispered menacingly to her
Robin looked around but the parking lot was empty and she was parked in the back. The man told her to turn around and walk quietly towards another car parked right next to hers. Robin moved slowly towards the car when she heard the man behind her drop to the floor. She turned around and to her surprise saw Sakaki holding a gun over the man that tried kidnapping her. Sakaki had hit him from behind with the butt of his gun.
"No time to talk Robin" Sakaki grabbed her hands. Robin stood still refusing to move.
"Please Robin!!! you have to thrust me..we need to go right now." Sakaki begged
Robin wanted an explanation and she was about to complain.
A car screeched to a halt in front them. Sakaki pulled Robin, "Run Robin, let's go."
Robin ran as fast as she could. Sakaki jumped on a motorcycle and told her to get on. Robin did what she was instructed to do. She had no choice at this point but to trust him. Robin held on tight as Sakaki peeled out the parking lot. Sakaki was an expert and maneuvered the bike with ease. She didn't know where they were going but she could hear a car was following them close behind. Sakaki made several attempts to lose the car behind them. They left the city streets and sped through the highway and hot on their tail was the car from the parking lot. Robin had to grab on for dear life several times because Sakaki was traveling so fast.
Sakaki had a headset in which he was communicating to someone where he was headed. She looked back for a glance. She noticed two cars had joined the chase. She grew pale when she recognized the Mercedes that Amon owned. Robin heard the screeching sound of metal hitting metal. Robin took another glance and her cheeks grew pale. Amon's car and the car that was following them crashed into each other. Several other black cars had stopped around the accident site. Sakaki proceeded to talk into his headset. Robin noticed that Sakaki slowed down and stopped on the side of the road. Robin's heart was still pounding hard in her chest. She got off and turned to see what happened. She saw the two cars where mangled together. A red Porsche traveling at least 90 mph came to a halt suddenly to where Sakaki and Robin had stopped.
"Robin get in" "I need to get you to safety" Dojima shouted to her from within the Porsche.
Robin was still shaking. She didn't know what was going on. She nodded absently and went in the red Porsche Dojima was driving. She heard Dojima instructing Sakaki to go get Amon. Sakaki nodded and headed towards the accident site.
"What is going on and where is Amon?" she asked frantically
"Robin don't worry, Amon slammed his car into the car that was chasing you, he couldn't sit still when Sakaki told him you were in danger. He went after the car himself."
"Oh my god, can you please go back there, I need to make sure he's ok" Robin pleaded
"Robin, I passed him up, he was a little shaken but he will be okay. He gave me strict instructions to get you to his house where it's safe."
"Sakaki and Nagira are there right now making sure everything it's okay, they need to get Amon out of there before the police arrives."
She noticed Dojima had gun hoister across her shoulder.
"I thought you're his secretary?" Robin looked confused
Dojima smiled "I'm one of Amon's special body guards."
"And Sakaki is......?"
"Also one of Amon's elite bodyguard"
"How come he was at the parking lot like he knew something was going to happen to me?"
"Sakaki has been your bodyguard for the past week"
"What?" Robin frowned
"I can't believe that Amon had Sakaki following me all this time"
Dojoma smiled at her "He only did it for your safety. I never seen Amon so concerned about any woman like he is with you."
"Then do you know why would someone want to attack me? I'm not worth anything."
Dojima looked at Robin with empathy. They arrived at Amon's estate. She noticed that the place was more heavily guarded than usual. She saw bodyguards everywhere. She waited anxiously for Amon to come.
"Dojima can you call and make sure he is okay."
Dojima nodded and pulled her cell phone out just as the door opened and Amon walked in. Robin ran to him without hesitation and hugged him tightly. She felt Amon flinch a little and Robin moved away.
"Your not okay, is something broken? Shouldn't you be at a hospital?" Robin checked Amon for any obvious signs of injury.
Amon manage a smile "I'm okay, don't worry Robin, my car was made of steel and specially made to withstand accidents."
"I' m just slightly bruised"
Robin snuggled her head to his chest. She started to weep. She never admitted to Amon how she really felt about him but the show of affection that she just displayed left Amon quite pleased. She felt Amon's arms wrap around her. He held her until she stopped crying.
"I'm sorry" She looked up at him "I'm so overwhelmed"
"Robin, we got to talk." Amon looked at her with sober eyes
Amon took her into the library so they can talk in private.
"What is this all about Amon?"
"Someone put a hit out on you, I don't know who yet" Amon told her cautiously
"But why?" Robin asked surprised
Amon shook his head "I'm guessing it might have to do with me?"
"It's not safe for you to be out of my sight, so until I find the source- you will have to stay here."
Robin stood up in protest "I will not be your prisoner"
Amon sighed heavily. His head was pounding and he knew had to convince Robin that she needed his protection.
"I didn't sign up for all this Amon and I won't live like this. How about if you never find out?"
"I will Robin, I promise but for now I not giving you a choice, your staying put here"
Robin frowned "You can't make me"
Amon rolled his eyes "Yes, I can Robin......please don't make me tie you up"
"You wouldn't"
"Do you really want to try me?" Amon challenged
Robin turned away from him. She knew Amon would probably tie her up if she didn't cooperate.
"Fine" "But if you think I will make it pleasant for you to be around me....your sadly mistaken"
"You better find who ever is after me because I promise you Mr. Amon Masawi...I Will find away to escape your stupid fortress"
Robin ran to the door and slammed it behind her and went upstairs to Amon's room.
Amon stood there taken aback at Robin's fearless attitude towards him. He slighly chuckled to himself because Robin was the only person he knew that ever threathened him without fear.
