Sorry I haven't updated in a couple days. I am dealing with a sick 10 month old so I have my hands full. I hope you enjoy.

Review…

I just looked at him stopped in my tracks and then my cell phone started ringing. I looked at the caller Id and found it to be….

Chapter Six

I looked at the caller Id and found it to be my father Abe Mazur. This could not be good the only time he calls is when he has a tough mission or he has another form of business he needs me to handle. I Walk away from Christian knowing that he doesn't need to get involved in this mess. I reluctantly open my phone and put it to my ear.

"Hathaway." Wow I really am starting to sound like my mom. That could be bad I mean she isn't my favorite person in the world to be honest I think Abe is my favorite parent. It's bad I have only known him for a little over seven years oh well I need to stop thinking about this.

" Hello Kiz, I am going to get right to business I need you for a job in Russia it's a protection detail for a very important royal Moroi. I need the best because she is a huge target and her mission is a highly dangerous one. Are you up for the job?" So I know two things, 1 it's a Moroi security detail and 2 it's very dangerous. So far I'm liking the situation the moroi being female makes the job better because I wont get hit on. I feel like he is hiding something though and it's suspicious.

"Old man, have I ever declined a job? Of course I will take it. I have a week till classes start here so when is this mission so I can let my boss know and who is the Moroi?" I could hear him snort on the other end of the line. Oh wait till I see him its not amusing at all, most of the missions are serious and I only get called in on the really bad ones. I had a feeling this one was going to be much worse then all others I have been on.

"Well since you have already excepted you can not refuse now. You will have a plane there for you in 3 hours and you will be with Vasilisa Ivashkov and you will be in charge of her guardians on the security detail. This should take no longer then two weeks at the longest. When you get here we will inform you on everything that will be going on and where you will be. Oh and you have a few people who have offered to help you out with this job that you can choose when you arrive here. I will see you later Kiz. Oh and bring your special gear unless your getting your stuff from turkey." Oh this is going to be fun I know one thing. I know one thing I'm not looking forward to is taking care of Lissa but it's a job. I guess I better get my bags packed.

"Ok dad I will see you when I get there, wherever there is." With that said I hung up the phone. So now I got to pack and talk to Alberta oh man this day is just bad. I think I should at least get some breakfast my stomach is starting to sound like an angry lion.

….

I was sitting in the café with a coffee and three chocolate frosted doughnuts and an éclair. Christian was eating a banana nut muffin and drink an iced latte. We were sitting in silence at first and then he decided to break the silence.

"So Rosie I guess you got a secret mission to go on for your mobster dad, am I right?" He knows when I get missions because I stay silence and lost in my thoughts before I leave. I have never went into detail about any of these trips I take to work for my father or the queen. I do alot of these trips when their are a large number of Strigoi involved so I knew this was a guarenteed fight. I am actually kind of nervous because I know not only do I have to take care of Lissa but she is pregnant so its not just one life it's two which is makes me so much mor nervous.

"Yeah Sparky I have business to attended but this is my mobster business and you know that." I was smirking at him and he looked amused." I will be leaving in a couple hours to get my team assembled and everything. Do you think you could help me do a few things before I go?" I know he help me but I still want to ask to be a decent person. I think this will be good a few days away after him dropping the love bomb on me I am kind of scared to be around him I mean I like him and all but he is more of my comfort object and I am horrible for it. I just dont want to rush into anything with him. I was broke off in thought by Christian moving his chair.

"What do you need, I will do anything for you?" He was smiling at me. I just looked at him before I completely realized what I needed him to do.

"I have to go talk to Alberta I need you to go find Luka and tell him to come to my room and you guys stay there and I'll be up in a little bit. Oh and can you get down my two duffle bags out of the closet please?" I looked down at my watch I had about two hours until I needed to be ready and at the airstrip to meet the plane. I know talking to Alberta is going to suck she hates my little 'suicide missions' as she calls them. I guess if they send Guardian Castile he can take my place with Luka and my class if not then I will request her to do it. Oh I should have had a plan sit up if I get called off again.

"Will do see you in a little bit." Before I knew what he was doing he reached over and squeezed my hand and then took off to go find Luka and go to my room. I got up and threw away my trash and headed towards the administrative buildings to head to Alberta's office. I know how this is going to go she will lecture me then tell me to be careful and she will see me soon. Oh well better get it over and done with.

...

I entered Alberta's office to see her sitting at her desk doing paperwork. I know she knows I am here even though she hasnt looked up from her desk yet. I walk in a take a seat across from her desk and just watch her attentively. We stay in silence for a few minutes before she breaks it.

"Ok Rose how longs it going to take? I know your going on a suicide mission the Queen called and told me that you are permitted to go. So I figure you already got a plan so let me know what I need and how long you ar going to be gone?" She was looking at me with a bit of worry in her eyes, it was her motherly look. I couldnt help but smile at her. Oh I wonder why the Queen is in this situation. I guess because its her favorite nephews wife, oh that just makes my skin crawl. She got both the men I cared about and I got stuck with Christian.

"I will be gone for a most two weeks unless something wrong happens. Princess Dragomir or Ivashkov whatevr she is now said she is gettin Guardian Castile assigned here and I trust him so if he is moved her I would like him to take up my class and my student Luka while I am gone. If Eddie doesn't come if you have the time can you do it or get one of the other guardians to be with my classes. I can tell Luka we will pick up when I get back."

"Ok Rose, I will make the arrangement with Guardian Castile who will be arriving tomorrow. I will see if he will take on your student until you arrive and will let him know. Be safe whatever you do. Try to come back in one piece." With that she smiled at me and I got up to head towards the door. I smiled and said a quick goodbye before taking off in the direction of my room.
