Guardian Angel
Chapter 7-The smile
Sam sat beside David and let the pictures on the small desk in front of them.
«His name was Mike Clouvan. He was born in Italy and came to USA at the age of 18. He was working as a private security guard for this man» He drew his finger at one of the pictures pointing at an middle-age man. Dark black hair, brunette skin tone and green eyes.
«His name is James West. He was last seen at the airport with our guy two days before the attack to your daughter. I made a little research at it turns out that he is in Berlin and he is coming back tomorrow. »
David stayed silence looking at the photos. After a few seconds he turned his eyes on the young man beside him.
« And what's his job? » He asked calm.
«Well that's the interesting about this man. He is an economist. I checked out his money transfers, his bank accounts. Many of his money are money that associate him with gun trade»
«He is our connection with Black ». David said and stood up trying to calm down himself.
Sam let a small laugh before he answer.
«I figured that out the moment I learn he was Mike's boss.»
David looked at him amused. He liked that guy.
«You think you could join me at the stakeout tomorrow?» David asked but Sam didn't had enough time to say anything. Emily walked fast into the room and talked.
«I am going to the stakeout. Jack needs your help with the dead body and some other things. »
«No! You are not going anywhere near these men. » He said resolutely.
«I AM trained! I CAN protect myself! And at the end what do you want me to do? Help Jack or be part of the stakeout?» It was obvious that she was tired. Emotionally and mentally exhausted due to all the resent fights. David looked at her annoyed. Her stubbornness was bigger than he could ever imagine. He was lost in his thoughts when Sam's voice pulled him back.
«I will be with her David.»
Emily looked at him with disdain mixed with irony.
David stayed silence letting his thoughts drown him.
«Don't you dare to get out of the car» He finally said and walked fast out of the room.
«You will be with me? What do you think that i need your protection?» The ironic smile on her face was the perfect match for her tone. Sam looked at her amused. She was dynamic, aggressive and beautiful.
«I was just trying to help. It looks like your father trusts me. »
«Yeah and i don't get why.» She said and started to walk away.
Sam stayed motionless for a few seconds thinking what she just told him. What more he should do to make her trust him?
«I am sorry but did you just imply that...»He started shouted, as she was walking away, but his words were cut by the sound of the door that shut close.
He parked the car and toot two times. Then he turned his attention back to his phone. The flight was delayed so they were probably going to wait a bit longer before their target appear. When he turn his eyes back to the house he saw Emily walking fast to his car. The feeling of intimacy came back to his chest. He felt like there was something there shouting at him. He felt like he was lost.
The door open and he shove away all of his last thoughts. At least he tried. It wasn't easy to feel lost. It wasn't easy to feel so insecure. It wasn't easy because he WAS a guardian angel. He had to be perfect. He had to do his job right.
He turned the engine on and hit the road right away and in totally silence. He kept his eyes strictly on the road and his concentration was so intense that he didn't heard Emily talking to him.
« Are you listening to me? » She said as she brought her fist at his upper arm.
«I am sorry what were you saying?» He made an effort to apologize and look calm but Emily saw right through him.
«What's wrong?»
«Nothing is wrong.» He took another one turn to the left and speed up a little.
«I just hit you at your arm and you apologized!» Her tone raised up a little.
«I am a gentleman. » He said and let his smile appear on his face. He looked at her and winked. Emily looked at him with a "are you serious" expression before she decide that there was no point on trying to extract the truth. She looked at him and she was sure that this smile was a genuine smile. She looked at him she was sure that she knew that smile. That she had seen this smile again.
