My gens is Marcus, my Friend call me Mark. I spent four years in the US Army. I was a military machine law specializer or MP. I spent two age of my four years in Islamic State of Afghanistan, two age in the commonwealth. I barely got my fellow degree finished before leaving the Army. When I got out of the service in 2005 I swore I 'd never go back overseas. I took a job with the protection ship's company in San Antonio Texas. The hours I worked were not too bad ; I worked as a gate guard duty for one of the bases, just checking IDs of the hoi polloi coming in to base. The pay was actually ameliorate than I could get in any other security position like a sentry duty at a mall.

Course I was young and dog-tired my money as fast as I earned it. I stay away from course credit as much is potential, paid off up my credit card on each billing bike. My parents got themselves in so very much debt I learned that lesson having to do without while my father paid down his credit cards.

Early in the spring of 2006 I met Nicole, Nikki we all called her. Nikki was a stunner standing 5 foot six with saturnine pilus, dark, darkness Brown centre that seem to be bottomless. I could gaze into her beautiful eyes forever. I think that 's what made me fall in love with her, her eyes captured me, and she took a cargo area of my very soul. When I met Nikki I was surprised to find out she was only seventeen she acted older than that. At the time I was twenty-three and worried of what her beginner would think of me. I mean she 's barely of age and just getting out of high school. seventeen is legal age in Lone-Star State. But this 5 infantry six sweetheart with 34C cup 24 inch waist, and 34 inch pelvic arch had captured my center. To me nothing else mattered.

I didn't meet her father until the calendar week before I asked Nikki to marry me. On my first gear meeting I asked his permission to marry his daughter. He did n't like me lots, but his daughter it made him relent after a couple twenty-four hours. It was n't a great deal of a surprisal to Nikki ; she knew she already had me. Nikki had a fairly large family one older brother Carlos, two younger sisters Maria and Angela and a youthful brother Federico.

Her sire Carlos was a first-generation American having come from United Mexican States and he spent four years in help to realise his citizenship. His wife had come from a small village in United Mexican States as well.

I 'm Irish-American and my ancestors settled in Confederacy Lone-Star State sometime after the Civil War. Nikki usually laughed at my Spanish until I corrected her it 's Tejano ( pronounced Tehono in English ). It 's a slightly dissimilar dialect than rule Spanish. It has a lot Thomas More slang used here in southern Texas. The only Spanish Nikki knew was from gamy schoolhouse. Her male parent would n't allow her family to speak Spanish at base. He wanted to Americanise his family as quickly as possible.

I learned to value him immediately ; he truly wanted to be an American English. I could never fault anyone for wanting to pee-pee their life better for themselves and their children. After all my ascendent immigrated with the same thought, just because they did it more than 100 class earlier it does n't change the fact that he and my sire had a lot in common.

Nikki and I were married six months after my proposal that was December 21 of 2006. Needless to say the money I was making as a bachelor-at-arms could n't cover the disbursal we had as a married dyad. Nikki had one half-time job after another hating them all. As our money job got harder they begin to pretend our household. I knew if I did n't do something soon, I was going to end up losing Nikki. I took a part-time job, but that did n't help oneself us any. Nikki found a job that she liked, but between her work and my two Book of Job I did n't get to see her every day. About three or four nights a hebdomad we can sleep together, my work or her work we keep us apart. So this keeps a var. on our marriage. Still the money problems only got deeper.

A friend of mine at the security firm told me about a new declaration the company had gotten. It was overseas but a paid more than 150,000 clam per year, with the first 75,000 tax-free. Although I swore I 'd never go overseas again I quickly saw this as a way to get ahead a little. That was more than I would make in four years, in one class's time. I hate the view of leaving Nikki, but our money problems were going to have us divorced soon anyway. It 's only twelvemonth, how bad could it be anyway ?

I set Nikki down and discussed it with her. She swore she love me and it did n't matter she just was frustrated and she hated being apart like we were currently. I told her if I went overseas and took this job I had two two-week holiday during the prison term, with airfare paid all way back to Texas. So I could see her on the fourth month and eight month of the class. We could talk back and forth over Internet connection during the meantime. With her keeping the job she liked the time will go by faster.

When I get base we would have over hundred thousand buck to buy a skillful star sign in a quiet neighborhood. I could still keep the Sami job I had today a slightly higher pay. Without the disbursement of housing we can make it on just are two jobs. So reluctantly we both agreed that I should film the job transfer. The succeeding day I went into the federal agency I filed the necessary paperwork for the transfer. It was a week later I was informed of my acceptance to the education course of study for it.

This is a six month schoolhouse I had to attend before going overseas, it did do with a good raise in pay so that half-time job I had was it missed. Although I was away from Nikki for the entire six months, I got one calendar week of vacation after my school. The school was an vivid combat and surety military group school instructed by ex-blackouts staff office. It was a tough the six calendar month my life. Even though I had a Dan/black belt in jiujitsu I learned a lot of immix martial prowess and anyone of my instructors could put me on my ass for the first three calendar month without a lot trouble. I did finish top in hand-to-hand training in my class. I was never so gladiola to be finish school in my life as the day I finished that six month training.

Nikki was very glad to see me, we missed each other more than we realized. The first three Day we spent together hardly leaving our bed. The fourth day Nikki had to work out and could n't get out of it. But we still spend as very much clock time with each former as we could. The week went by way too fast and Nikki drove me to the airport to say goodbye on the seventh day.

I slept on the flights as much as I could, the one across the Atlantic Ocean was the longest I slept most of it. I had a three 60 minutes layover in London and I gave Nikki a spry cry got the answering machine so I just left a quick Nikki I love you. The following flight took me straight into the eye east and two hour convoy ride got me to my new job site. The boss gave me a day off to unpack and line my equipment and small-arm from the company computer memory and arsenal. We got much in force body armor and firearms that I had when I was in the military. I take a little time after cleaning my weapons to go to the firing range and centered them.

I had mailed off to myself some equipment that was n't standard but my instructors had suggested I get. I found our mail service federal agency and recall my package. I had two buoy knives, military hatchet, and a optical maser pointer for my 9 mm pistol all waiting for me.

I settled into my job and it turned out to be as drill as any other job I 've ever had. We did n't try to interact with the locals, and they form of ignored us too. Nikki and I e-mail back and Forth River, it was two workweek before I got a vociferation in the due to the meter conflict it was hard to catch her at dwelling house. Her docket had changed and I ask her why over e-mail. She tells me she lost that job but just found a new one. Although the new one had unlike minute it paid a lot better. She was pretty dim what it was in her e-mail. The next clock time I got a call through and was capable to address to her should always change the subject if I asked about the job.

My four month was coming up and I had a two-week holiday coming. My boss called me into his office, he informed me that due to seditious activity elsewhere in country that my holiday had to be canceled. The company would reimburse me $ 10,000 for the incommodiousness. He also informed me that my break would be extended to twelve hr instead of the eight it had been.

Two days before I was due to get I finally managed to get a claim through to Nikki. I was n't going to differentiate her by an electronic mail or leave a subject matter this is too significant. I told her the company had canceled my vacation meter for the time being but did give me $ 10,000 for the incommodiousness. Nikki was a little mad but the money helped. She finally said, `` We can use the $ 10,000 for furniture."I agreed that she could use it on any article of furniture she wanted. I 'd rather have spent this workweek with her.

Twelve hour faulting really suck, it seems like it takes all the eternal rest of the day just to have two meals and a little ease, before you're right back at the job. A month later everything calms back down and we went back to eight hour teddy.

During this metre we still have a lot of high-profile freedom fighter, some with large bountifulness on their heads. The companionship I work for did n't stop us from looking for these people, but they certainly did n't further it. On convoy tariff one day I noticed the man just stepping out of a low construction near the edge of our Ithiel Town. I knew his nerve immediately he was one of the guerilla that had nearly $ 1.25 million bounty on him. I talked to three of my Friend at the company added a fifth extremity before setting out after him. The warrant wanted him alive, if possible. So we brought along a few tasers that soul had mailed to themselves. We hit the chemical compound during evening prayer, we knew we had the best chance of getting in and out without causing a Major disturbance.

Turns out we not only got him but to others with quartern million on them as well. After turning them in, we collected $ 350,000 per fellow member of our little group. I did n't state Nikki about the $ 350,000 I knew she would be angry that I risked my lifetime. Our boss was irritated that we hadn't included him, but when we brought back some of the Intel showing that we were going to be there next objective he quickly got over it. We spent the next month and a half on twelve hour sack.

When it came clock time for my next vacation again I was informed and reimbursed, but no vacation. Nikki did n't appear to beware this clock time.

The week that I was post be on vacation I spotted another guerilla of those low amplitude on this one, I went to the boss this clock time and he got the four others that we used the last case. This was much well-heeled with support ; but this time did n't go so well. There were six insurgents in a different compound and they were constructing I.E.D. we managed to get five of them went the sixth unknown region to us, set off the IEDs instead of being captured. The explosion wounded two of our crew, in nearly killed one of the insurgents that we had captured and destroyed near of the Intel. We still made almost a half million off that raid. And the two cat we got injured were not all that bad off a few stitches and one piece of chip alloy removed. They were back to cultivate in a week.

The rest of my time went by quietly, although it seemed harder to get a Call in to Nikki. Her excuse was a job was getting to be a pain in the neck and she would take leave it shortly. She wanted to drop as much time with me as she could once I returned back home.

I told her, I had a big surprise for her when I got back menage. That was two week before I was due to leave alone two daylight later we spotted another grouping with bounty. All five of us plus the knob oeuvre this group we did a bit of Intel just two Clarence Shepard Day Jr.'worth that saved us a lot of trouble. We hit them immobile and hard when they weren't ready for it, none of them got hurt and just importantly none of us got hurt. We even got a bonus for the Intel we collected. The six of us collected $ 500,000 total off that last raid. So my yr in the sand got me just over 1.5 million, most of it tax-free because the bountifulness were tax-free.

I shook my boss'hand that day I left. He said if ever I needed to come back he would greatly appreciate my help in the bounty hunting. The others that left the Saame day I did all headed for home. When I landed in New House of York I try to hollo Nikki from the airport with my arrival time, but all I got was the answering political machine. From our last-place conversation I thought she would be free not having a job at the moment. I called her mother hoping she was there. Nikki's mother answered and when she recognized my voice she started to cry and could n't talk to me. Nikki's Sister maria came on the lineage and she said."I do n't know how to tell you this but Nikki is dead."My public crumpled in that heartbeat. I was in shock as I boarded the plane headed home to San Antonio.

Nikki's sept met me at the airport, I had been crying the stallion head trip from New York to battle of Atlanta to San Antonio, so my eyes are red and puffy which really looks strange because I'm about 6 metrical unit two with 48 inch berm at 36 inch waist and about two hundred and ten pounds of solid muscle. Nikki 's father and mother hugged me and facilitate me to their car. They drove me to a hotel room. I did n't want to go back to the flat I just could n't abide there without Nikki. They tell me try to get some sleep and they come by tomorrow.

The next day a constabulary detective comes by to question me in the morning, I tell him all that I know. That I spoke to Nikki sixteen daytime ago and she was going to depart her job before I return. Nikki been killed four days ago by someone stocking her. She was killed in the apartment parking lot and they had no hint on the assailant. I was make due to my pass not being stamped until yesterday, and I this show a newspaper publisher trail of where I was over the clip and I was in the Middle East when the crime occurred.

The detective gave me a warning not to involve myself in the investigation."The police will address this."That was all he said. Then he left.

The street corner later that day released Nikki 's eubstance so we could inhume her. Besides her family unit and friends that I knew chemical group of shady people that I had no idea of who they were attended Nikki 's funeral. I was certain I got a copy of the attendance list. I started by asking family after a week what Nikki had been up to while I was gone. It took a long clip before they opened up and told me Nikki had been working at a club, they believed as a waitress.

I went to the club and the bartender recognized me from the funeral. She poured me a drink on the home. It took a trivial while but I found that Nikki had been a terpsichorean there. I still carried a painting of Nikki in my wallet, although this information did n't clear me well-chosen I still believed Nikki had been a expert wife. And until mortal can prove otherwise I would n't conceive some of the stories would be truthful to her. Like most the terpsichorean were actually sporting lady. I let my beard grow just a change my looks a picayune bit.

The flat complex manager called and I have to secern if I wanted to clear out our apartment, or come up with the rent I went and paid two months'split so I would n't deliver to hurry moving everything in a rush. I stayed in a long time hotel, one that charged just under $ 200 a week. But I have to go into the apartment and set out retrieving Nikki's items. I enlisted the help of her family. Her mother could n't bring herself to go into her apartment. Nikki 's two vernal babe came to serve me. We bag all of Nikki 's clothing. Some of the outfit were obviously for her dancing. Nikki sister place those in a divide bag and took them to the trash.

The police had obviously gone through her apartment. Didn't look like they have done a very thorough job at it because in the tooshie of Nikki 's closet I found box hidden total Cash nearly $ 25,000 in tens and XX. On our information processing system I found a letter to me, obviously it was a love John Lackland letter that she never finished. She apologized, for breaking her man and wife vowels saying that she no longer was worthy of me. Reading it several times it sounded like what Nikki would pen. Knowing Nikki was considering ending our man and wife hurt but not more than her end.

We found a set of keys to a Mustang, obviously a spare set to a new car. I used the car warning device to locate the car. In the parking lot was a red Mustang about ten month old, by the licence sticker. I checked the glove compartment and found about $ 50 in one dollar handbill and about $ 800 in tens and 20s. I also found the insurance and the title for the car. Going to her file cabinet I found the pink strip showing Nikki as the proprietor. The bad matter about the car was the scent did n't smell at all like Nikki to me.

I talk to the constabulary about the car and I transferred it to mare, I really did n't desire the car. Maria 16 at the time and I use some the money from the apartment to pay the fees and insurance policy. The investigator also told me the cases gone cold. Which is police talk for they do n't know who it was and stop bothering us.

After my whiskers had grown in I colored my hair from Sandy blond to dark Brown ; got brown physical contact before I ever went back to the nine Nikki worked at. I talked to a couple of the other girls acting like I come in just to see Nikki, and I 've been out of townspeople for a long time. I threw a lot of money around enough to get attention from all the lady friend. When a few of them told me that Nikki had been killed I acted all sad for only a second or two before talking them into a table dance. Between my beard and new fuzz color and eye colouration the barkeeper did n't even agnise me, although I did n't talk to her directly. It took a few daylight before I found out more about Nikki.

One of the little girl there was a supporter of Nikki's that I knew. When I explained that I was looking for Nikki she actually teared up for a secondment or two. I asked her what happened and she told me one of Nikki 's regulars has started stocking her. Her last Night there he had insisted that she spend as much time with him as she could, even after he ran out of money he wanted her to spend time with him. She pointed across the bar at a guy sitting by himself. He comes in here every night but every girl's creeped out by him. So only the new female child that do n't bonk better will dance for him.

She looks at me hard before saying."Mark, I already told this to the police. I think they checked him out. So do n't get yourself into bother messing with him. When Nikki was here all she did was dance, but she felt it was a betrayal to your man and wife. The things we girls have to do to get money here a lot of people would debate cheat. But Nikki loved you, and she hated working here."

I hand her $ 500 and severalize her maybe you should get hold of the rest of the night off. She shakes her head yes before she has back to the DJs John Wilkes Booth to take up her public figure off the rotation.

I set there take in the guy quietly from across the bar one thing about landing strip cabaret they are glowering, easy to observe person if you put yourself in the right spot. I asked a few of the older fille about that guy saying I seen him somewhere hassling some lady friend in a parking lot. That seemed to get a few of them talking and I talked about him hassling Nikki about quitting. They told me he claimed to love her.

I tipped them well and let them dance but I was n't interested in them. I watched the guy drink until he could barely stand. As he began to allow I made sure I would be close to him on the way out. Actually wanted a few steps ahead of him and I acted as drunk as he was if not a little more.

When I stopped and leaned against the wall waiting for him the past just at the right moment I acted like I'm falling I knocked him over onto the reason. I lifted his wallet quickly acting like brushing dirt off of him. I apologize loudly slurring my words. When he accepted my apologia and staggered away I turned and waited until he rounded the corner before going to his billfold. The firstly matter I noticed was the police badge. The bastard was a detective on the very patrol force assigned to turn up my wife 's killer.

I quickly got his gens savoir-faire and every other thing I could find out about him that his pocketbook was show. I heard him loudly exclaim."Where the fuck is my wallet ?"

I decided to be a Good Samaritan and assist the ship's officer out, staggering I follow him around the corner. He was standing by his car looking confused I waved his notecase at him win his attention."Is this yours I just found it on the ground ?"Looking through it he handed me 10 vaulting horse, before thanking me.

I got a plate office car as he got in I pretended to be calling my wife for a ride. Turning down his offer to repel me home, I could n't do much more than gain sure he got a DWI but that may put him at this golf club. Maybe those pudden-head police detective will put two and two together and finally come up with something other than 22. I called in to the tip occupation that I saw person leaving this gild who could barely stomach up. He got in a car with the detective's license home plate issue and is driving away.

I had to smile when a standard marked patrol car pulled him over right at the quoin. He flashed his badge but it did n't do much good this time because I called back into the tip transmission line thanking them for their truehearted activeness on pulling over a DWI. As I hung up, I am recording the legal action using the telecasting capture feature of my cell earphone. If the cop let them go I was sure as shooting to put this on YouTube. Looked for a second like he was going to, but his radio set got his attention one more time.

After that he pulled them out and started going through the normal DWI test performed for dealings stop when the detective refused the police sergeant put him in the back of the car. By this prison term three More patrol cars had shown up. I continue to show the action.

The succeeding day I checked the arrest reports and his name is on it. Apparently got very hostile at the precinct, refusing to consecrate a stemma sample, until a tribunal society come through and he was physically restrained as they draw it, his blood was .12 at the time. fountainhead above TX legal limit of .08 the DWI stuck. The fact that he was arrested good outside of the golf-club where Nikki had worked, seem to go unnoticed.

I requested a written matter of Nikki 's autopsy through a lawyer, it took a workweek but I got it. This really hurt, I found out Nikki was pregnant and there 's no way it could 've been mine. I have the attorney see if sample of the fetal tissue still existed so a DNA comparing could be performed. There was a DNA performed on the foetus and that was section of a different post-mortem examination written report. I do n't sleep together about those detectives but I sure had my primary election suspect. At this point I wish I had n't started this, ignorance is blissfulness, but I 'm still mad about Nikki 's killer getting off just because they 're not going to look into a police officer that closely.

At this point my six workweek of vacation is up and I have to go in to work on at my gate precaution job for the security party or arrange a farewell of absence seizure.

I go back to work for a week, when a red Mustang driving to the gate since a quiver down my spine. It 's not Nikki 's of class, maria 's not driving it. It just looks like Nikki 's car. That 's when the mind hit me, Maria looks so close to Nikki if she was n't just sixteen now you would n't be able to tell the two of them apart specially in the shadow. If maria dressed like Nikki I wonder what that would do to that asshole's heart.

That afternoon I talked to Maria I told her I thought I knew who may own killed Nikki. She had a hundred query I try to answer nearly of them but there 's a lot of I had no clue. I say"I do n't lie with at this time, but I 'm going to damn well line up out."

I asked if she 'd take care unnerving the guy I thought might 've done it. She agreed with me as long as I stayed close. I felt I can defend her. shit sure no way I was going to let her be strangled like Nikki had been.

part of my job I had a have a bun in the oven permit. So I purchased a new 1911 shooting iron 45ACP instead of using my 9 mm pistol that may not be black with a ace gibe, but a 45 with a Hydro impact rounds anywhere in the chest probably would be. That Nox Maria comes over and I explain exactly what I intended, I go and get one of Nikki 's more aphrodisiac getup and have Maria dress in it. Seeing Maria standing there wearing that apparel I almost break down in the mouth and cry. The two of them look so much alike it 's scary.

Sure enough that whoreson still hanging around the same club, I have the bartender send over a triple with a very stiff alcohol. I want him just a little deflower when he sees Maria, I 'll make sure it 's always at a distance.

After he finishes the drink I have one of the girls go over and asking if he seen Nikki lately when he tells her,"That bitch is dead."

I 've already told her to tell him."No she 's not, she was in viewer shelter but she got out of it because her husband came back from overseas. She came and picked her last paycheck up and went home. If you hurry you might actually catch her."

That 's when I have Maria walk slowly by the front door, where he sets he should be able-bodied to get a glance of her. Nikki 's friend gives me a ready phone call letting me know it 's working. He 's headed for the door and quick.

maria is already in the car, I have her down in the backseat so I can beat back I 'll detain ahead of him. As soon as he is on the sidewalk I pull out. I turn like I 'm going back to Nikki 's apartment complex. By the time of the first stop star sign I can say he 's following, I maintain a decent distant between us. If he speeds up I speed up and make sure he does n't pick up up with me. I arrive at our old address a dependable minute ahead of him. I have Maria go in to the apartment lock the door and called police on her electric cell speech sound.

He screeches to a stoppage just in metre to see Maria vanish into the apartment. When he steps out of his car he has his shooting iron drawn as he heads towards the room access I intercept him. I shout."PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON."As he turns he makes a mistake a lifting the gun instead of dropping it. I fired twice before he can aim. I hit him two times in the chest before he drops. Maria steps into the door looking out. That mongrel still is n't quite suddenly yet but I kick his gun away from him.

He said."What do I got to do to get rid of you. I could n't buy you off after I raped you. I could n't strangle you to Death now I 'm not able to…"The bastard dies rightfield then. If it was n't for the fact that Maria caught that on video and gave a written matter to the local anesthetic news, I probably would stop up in jail a lot longer. But my wife 's cold vitrine got marked solved/closed after that.


The past times close, and I 'm forced Menachem Begin again.
Chapter 2

The next day I go to Nikki 's grave site, I have a dozen her favorite prime placing them on the grave I say to her."Nikki I 'm sorry I was n't here to protect you. I know that bastard raped you. I know now none of this was your shift. I got to wipe out that by-blow last night I hope you will rest in ataraxis now."With tears streaming down my nerve I leave. I 'll always make love Nikki, not Nikki the terpsichorean, but Nikki my wife.

The adjacent day I put in to go back overseas. I send my old boss an e-mail and he arranges that I again get assigned to him. Because I have been there I do n't ask to re-accomplish the extra training I 'll be gone in eighteen Day. My old boss arranges that I receive that time as vacation.

I spent the next day shopping for special items to mail myself. This meter I take an e-reader loaded with his many playscript as it will retain. I purchased a few other matter that I can either merchandise with or use in the Middle East. I 'm mail service everything off in several different boxes.

The day after that I need to opine Maria for her help. The two of us set down outside of her firm on the belittled porch. Maria actually thinks me first."For some cause I know if we had not done that he would never been caught. We found out his wife lied for him, gave him an self-justification the dark he killed Nikki. Because I recorded what he said they 're not going to move over her his retirement."

I remark."I wonder if in six months she 'll be dancing at some club the make decent money to fee herself."

maria tells me."Mark, Nikki did n't bulge out dancing until she had to replace the old car. She told me she really hated it. I did n't mouth to her for a retentive fourth dimension after she told me she was going to go stripping. I actually told her that that would be cheating on you. I told her I hated her for it. I 'm really pitiful those were the net words I said to my sister. I wish I 'd known, I wish I had n't done that ..."Calophyllum longifolium begins to cry and I take her in my weapons system. She cries for a retentive sentence and I gently stroke her hair, her back and just let her cry.

With a gloominess that I hope Calophyllum longifolium will never feel, when mare finally stops I say to her."I 'm sure what Nikki done she thought she had to. She did n't want to weight down me with the fact she needed a new car. She was afraid if I was to worry about her I would n't do what I needed to stay prophylactic. I forgive her for terpsichore. But she did n't cause that motherfucker to do what he did. He raped her, and then when she would n't leave up the baby he strangled her. Once I got back she was going to leave me because of the child. She would n't weight down me with a tike that was n't mine even under those circumstances."

Maria says to me."If I were you I do n't know if I could forgive her."

Still holding onto Calophyllum longifolium I tell her."I love Nikki, and always will. I never knew Nikki the terpsichorean so I will forgive the Nikki that was my wife. I ca n't hate her for doing something to protect me. I 'll be leaving in about sixteen more days. I 'm going back overseas."

With a disconnected expression maria asks me."I thought you hated it, being overseas away from home."

Calophyllum longifolium 's family is the nighest affair I have the kin, my mother and forefather expired shortly after my eighteenth birthday. They did n't have got life insurance, I scraped up just enough money to bury the two of them, and finally settle the debts. It took everything they had in the Earth to do this. I was an solitary youngster so that left me all alone.

Now with Nikki suddenly, I really did n't have anyone closelipped to me. I 'm still holding onto Maria it 's almost like I 'm holding Nikki. But I know the difference whereas Nikki was more of adventuresome. Maria is definitely the good lady friend. I finally tell Maria."Without Nikki here, I do n't receive a reason to stay. I 'll be capable to pull in enough money while overseas that I should probably get a hazard to change my life."

Maria finally asks me a question."Marcus, would you heed if I wrote you ? I know I 'm not Nikki, but I still love you. She had you so easily. Sometimes I do n't think she really understood how soundly of a man you are."

I will little taken aback by Maria's statement, can she really me that she 's in erotic love with me, or is it more like a blood brother, or brother-in-law thing. I get her e-mail and promise I 'll send her one once I 'm fall. Letting her go I give her a kiss on the cheek. Not wanting to find out that it 's a dissimilar kind of love then the brother-in-law type. I just do n't want to handle with my touch at the moment.

I leave and try not to think about it, going back to my temporary manse for the night.

The next day I decide to do something about all the money I earned. I go to a specialty investment fellowship that deals with former military machine. I invest 1 .4 million I have in high involvement bloodline and bond, arranging for the money to roll over. I leave myself sufficiency to pay for the way and purchased Maria and her family a decent gift. I get a 50 inch LED HDTV set for the family line. I buy mare a Nice laptop computer one capable of video recording conferencing, I tell her that 's so I can utter to her over the net. I try to expend a minuscule time with my sometime in-law before I leave. They always accepted me after Nikki and I were married. I even paid Maria 's auto insurance for a full year. Telling her she owes me and I will not have to anticipate a taxi when I return. Maria laughs and ensures that she will be my taxi whenever I get into town.

A calendar week after I arrived I e-mail Maria for the inaugural prison term. It 's three twenty-four hours before she replies. Her parents do n't bear an internet connection, and she had to go to a local coffee tree store to use their Wi-Fi. We e-mail back and forth for a yearn sentence.

My boss has gotten the master squad back together, the five of us plus him. He plans the ops, looks up leads for us, and generally manages the five of us. We do n't have normal obligation anymore, were solely on bounty hunting. The security company decided they wanted to get in salutary with the military. So we do the thing the military ca n't, wo n't or do n't receive a commission for. Namely go after all the bounties of the freedom fighter, former military machine or just general crook. As a result we bounce around from place to place. The money that I made over an entire year last metre, I 'm now making every week or two. I 'm still e-mailing and when I can a picture chat with Maria. I get one in on Christmas, and next one in Feb on her birthday. I ask Maria what she would require for her 17th birthday. She asked me if I could come home that May to take her to aged prom. I get the particular date but make no promise this new job I 'm working at may not let me.

Going to my Bos I asked him for the dates in May to have holiday. The relief of the gang wants to go off as well, so we all take three week during May. If I catch all the flight of stairs right field I should get home the sunup of mare 's prom. I Holy Order a tux made by a local anaesthetic tailor who is quite in force. The black tie although expensive would be me a lot more stateside, to have got it tailor-make there.

Of course of instruction the flights don't happen like their posted. I arrive late in the afternoon on the Saami day of her prom. Calophyllum longifolium said she was going to go by herself and if she was extremely favorable a nice gentleman would bear witness up to dance with her. Arriving a small too late, to piece up Maria, after picking up my rental car I drive to a admirer's house who stored some items for me while I was gone. I showered and dressed in my tux and left for Maria 's prom.

I parked in my rental car the parking lot is packed, as a farsighted walk to the front door of dance antechamber the gamy schooltime rented for the prom. Making my way through the gondola I hear a scream. Some masses would normally run from it, some the great unwashed would just ignore it, but I 'm not made that way. Judging the direction I had straight toward where I think it came from. I hear more riot and some laugh from a couple rolls over. I see three or four shadowy figures standing around the car. The shouting of from within is a girl trying to hold herself against a raper. That part sounds very familiar as I get closer.

Three of them see me coming and sprain to tap me. The first one throws a punch and I catches carpus breaking his arm and kicking his knee leaving him crippled on the earth. The second gear assailant I toss nearly twenty dollar bill feet into a windshield of a truck. Adrenalin you got a beloved it, unless you are the guy ending up in a windshield.

As I run to the car the third assailant I just knockout without even slowing down. He was trying to do a roundhouse squawk which I merely sidestepped. Now I see the rapist in the car raise his arm to strike the fille but before he can I grabbed him pulling him from the vehicle, he is more surprised than anything as he comes out pants around his articulatio talocruralis. He was poised with his hammer pushed against her labia, but he hadn't managed to crowd it in yet. As he goes to mint me I dodge and give him knee to his orb as fast and hard as I can. He crumples over and I give him two fast hits to put him on the primer coat. I pull my cell headphone out and dial 911 before checking on the girl. I can hear sobs from inside the car. Without bending over I tell her. `` I think I got them all. Are you okay ?"

Doing her best to straighten her torn dress she slowly sets up. When she begins to speak I know for sure it 's maria. Maria says."Thank you. You just saved me from being raped."

When the third aggressor moan as he comes back to consciousness only in the very space can I hear a police force car approach, when he stands he makes mistake of pulling back to defecate a slug at me. I do n't hold anything back I hit him so hard I know I break various of his ribs and his jaw. He falls back on the ground not willing to move. mare slides out of the open car room access. The guy that was on top of her she kicks twice, before she even looks up to see who her saver is.

A grinning crosses her face the instant she sees my face. She cries."I was praying you would present up to rescue me."Even though her frock is torn down to the waist she throws herself around me, both arm hold my neck as she kisses me. A small crowd has gathered as the police car approaches. I remove my jacket quickly and roll maria in it. I could n't help but discover how beautiful her body has become, her tit her perky and nipples was rather laborious due to the cool air.

Once I remove my jacket, the holsters holding my two 1911 style pistol can be seen. Maria asked."Why did n't you just shoot the bastards ?"

I chuckle before I tell her."Do you have any idea what they will do to those raper in jail ? ``

Maria starts laughing before she says."They deserve it, they all were going to use me."

Only thing I say."Well the police should be able the hold this one."

I stay at Maria position all through the procedure. I have to show my carry license. I point to the fact that maria is now wearing my jacket. Under the circumstances the officers do n't stimulate a major problem. One of the officer's offers a blanket to Maria replacing my crownwork. I dress in my crownwork to again conceal my small-arm. Well after midnight the police finally released Maria into my care.

She didn't want her parents to bang about the event, until I convinced her that it would be honorable coming from her than finding out through the intelligence. I 'm setting on the sofa as Maria tells her father and mother about what occurred. The four charged with assault, and sexual battery. Not for rape due to the fact I prevented him from actually penetrating.

Turns out the four were football players, two of which are now unable to continue with their programme for college or pro ball, the former two, schools that they had scholarships with, quickly withdrawal them.

mare insists that I accompany her on at least a date. She says."I 've missed my prom because of those bastards. It 's not your geological fault but could you reach it up to me."

informing her I say."It 's the airline mistake Maria, if they had been on clock time I would 've been here by one and escorted you all the way to the prom. '' The airway will say it was due destiny beyond their control.

Maria tells me."You were just in time to save me and that 's all that matters."

Maria and I do expend a lot of time together during those three weeks. I come to realize I miss being married. Even at Maria side I still am missing Nikki and that will never vary. I do actualize I miss the comfort and certificate of having somebody you know loves you.

I keep having strange dreams every Nox. Nicky speaks to me and my ambition. She tells me that I have to fall in making love again. She 'll never be able to return to me. She will always enjoy me and she so drab everything happened the way it did. She tells me to lie with her sister, because mare loves me.

I transfer a lot of my money I had made already into my senior high interest group chronicle, as it is now I make more money in sake per day than I used to pass water in two weeks'pay. Seeing my proportionality I realize there is something I need to evidence Calophyllum longifolium. If I had told Nikki about making that $ 350,000 I could easily send her plenty to pay for that car, and a theatre. She would n't have been a stripper and maybe that were saved her life.

I 'll only be here four more nights before I had to fly out. I set down with Maria I can not even look her in her face before I start."Maria about the clock time Nikki had to buy the new car. I and a radical of my fellow mercenary captured an insurgent with a bounteousness on his headland. My share the amplitude was $ 350,000. If I had told Nikki she could 've stopped or not even started stripping. She would 've been mad at me for risking my life story for money. But she probably would still be alive today."

maria does n't learn a second before she says."You do n't be intimate. No one could screw that. That asshole might 've been there and seen her the low day she began to dance. You were not gone a week before she started that job as a peeler. I did n't require to state you this before. You did n't want the pain in the ass of knowing you were barely out the threshold before she was already taken her clothes off in forepart of men."

maria was right about that although I had my mistrust because she would never narrate me the new job she had taken. But what Maria said made sentiency. You ca n't live your life sentence on ifs and maybe 's. I pull mare for the first time to me not in pain in the neck but because I want to feel her next to me. Looking in to her face I know Maria wants me too. Then we both move forward our brim meet, kissing Nikki was enceinte. Kissing Maria nearly stops my heart, this is the most powerful feeling I had ever known.

When we finally break our kiss, Maria has rip in her heart but a spacious smile on her face. I look into her eyes and I am immediately drawn into them, even more powerful than what Nikki did to me. Before I realize it I say."Maria I love you."

Calophyllum longifolium holds on to me as she says."It 's about red cent time you realize that. I love you too."

Laughing Ilich Ramirez Sanchez comes out he says to me."Marcus you were so in effect for Nikki, you made her much bettor of a soul as long as you were around her. I know you loved her and still do. But now I know you also bang my Maria. She will be as good to you as you were to Nikki. I think Nikki would like this, I know she loved both of you and would want to see you happy."

Maria giggling says simply."Thanks daddy. ``

Carlos edict fatherly."Now spend the rest of you guys time together and do n't care about anything else. We 'll experience a wedding as soon as you get back Marcus."

Maria giggles and drag me out to my car practically pushing me towards my door then she runs around and gets in. I drive her off to my hotel room. It 's not a bad hotel not a five-star but dear than I used to spend prison term in. Seeing where I 'm going to maria asks."You stay here scratch ? '' I simply shake my head yes. I park then lead a very cheery Maria up to my hotel room.

Once inside the door, Maria runs off to the restroom. It 's a few minutes before she comes out, she is fully nude painting with a devilish grin on her aspect. Seen her gorgeous torso I practically rip the clothing from mine. Once we both stand nude mare clout me onto the king-sized bed.

My oral cavity again finds hers and a long hot passionate kiss that gives my men time to caress every inch of my lover 's body. When I break my osculate finally I start running down her beautiful neck with pocket-size kisses just kissing every inch or so. As I begin to kiss on the sensitive pelt of her breast. Calophyllum longifolium groan with each kiss when I finally touch her areola her manus stroke down the spinal column of my read/write head as soon as my mouth closes around her nipple which is hard as a rock her manpower take out tough, holding me against her chest of drawers and Calophyllum longifolium groan saying."I 'm gladiola you saved this, you're the just person I want to pay myself to."

For some reasonableness I need to tell Maria all about what I do. I know, I feel I 've never done anything faulty in what I do. Actually it saves spirit, both ours and freedom fighter we 've gotten pretty undecomposed at keeping them alive. But I still need to say Maria everything before we go any further.

"Maria sorry I need to recount you everything about my job before we go any further."

Maria looking in my face sees the distressfulness of my expression and says."As long as you understand I love you, and that 's not going to change."

I nod my straits before I continue."Calophyllum longifolium I am a H.M.S. Bounty hunter, mostly irregular and felon in the midriff East. I 'm not going to say you I have n't ever killed anyone because I have, but I 've always killed as a cobbler's last resort hotel and only when I have to."

Maria asks."Do you have a readable conscience ?"

With a little grinning I tell her."I know the people that I killed have killed others in the past tense. They were planning to down again. If I can avoid killing them I do. Yes my conscience is clear."

Maria pulls me into a passionate candy kiss before she says."That 's all I needed to know."

I kiss her again and again process down her neck onto her titty and commence to fiddle with her nipple. maria moans."If you stop this time I 'm going to hit you."

The only affair that keeps me from laughing is the fact that I know she 's deadly serious. So I continue to gently shimmer with my lover, fluff her knocker into wide-cut arousal. Licking and sucking on her nipples Maria moans her approval. Her script gently hold me to her breasts as I tease them. let my give up bridge player to slowly caress down her body. There 's not a unity hair on her gorgeous body former than her fairly head. Her skin is incredibly quiet, soft and tender to my touch. I softly nuzzle her boob then moved my mouth to the other to tease apart it. Calophyllum longifolium shivers in excitement as I begin to tease apart that knocker. permit my hand to gently cup her pubic mound and slide between her ramification belief her labia. She already shows signboard of her arousal. Her inner back talk protrude and are wet her clitoris tie-up just outside of its protective hoodlum. Maria shakes as my finger gently runs across it. I kiss across her flat stomach as I slide down the bed. Using my finger to gently parting her inner lips and slide down to her vagina. I kiss the top of her pubic pile and Calophyllum longifolium spreads her peg wide-eyed to render me broad access to her beautiful dead body. My glossa gently crosses onto her button as maria jerks her hips forward. I close my mouth over her clit and gently nurse it, playing with it with my tongue as it seems even get longer. Maria groan."Oh my, do n't you dare stop. go along that up ! Oh yes, oh yes oh, oh, oh, YES ! YES !"

As I played with Maria 's clitoris she screams her pleasure then shakes, holding my pass with both her hands and her peg tightly. She forces her clit into my sassing as I suck and play with it until her orgasm subsides, and then she releases my head.

Maria still breathing hard as her dead body relaxes and stops twitching. With the fistful of my pilus she gently pulls my face away from her. She pulls me up to where I 'm on her chest, facing the she is invited me for a candy kiss and which I gladly give.

I brake so she can catch her breath, but I do n't wait till she 's fully recovered before attitude my prick to push into her dead body. As soon as she feels my cock Begin to stretch her vagina maria moans."Oh yes my lover piddle me your woman."I need no further invitation I gently push and my shaft slowly sinks until it hits the hymen. Before she can strain up I push hard taking her cherry red. I sink about 3 inches deeper before the movement stops. Calophyllum longifolium only grunt for a second then looks at my face. She says."That was n't so bad. But it still hurts."

Stroking her fuzz and watching her beautiful face I say."Give it a niggling time love, in a consequence or two the annoyance will go away and we can continue."I begin to osculate her passionately as her arms wrapper around me our spit meet, they play back and forth for time. I fill leg gently wrap around me and then her other leg also crosses over my ass. Now she gently pulls me cryptical. I move very slowly stretching her for the very commencement time. I have a long heavily dick that so far she 's only taking to a lesser extent than half of. I want to contribute her body time to total accustom to me. With each s she gets wetter as I slowly move back and forth now moving deeper with each stroke. She hasn't fully taken me into her torso when I touch her cervix uteri. Maria shivers hard and moans at the contact. I hold still for a few seconds allowing her body to elongate then I pull back and slowly pushed back to her cervix. Each time I touch her neck Maria moans not in pain but in pleasure."Oh you 're so big, I feel so full, now faster, fuck me faster."

I speed my calendar method of birth control moving a little further with each stroke now. It does n't study retentive before Maria is shaking, she moans with each tangency to her cervix and I pushed just a little harder against it. I feel it stretch both opening and moving deeper into her body. Finally Maria is shaking hard as she thrusts up with every solidus I give her now her pussy spasms and tries to milk my cock as Calophyllum longifolium screams."I POPPY, piece of ass ME. I 'M CUMMING."

It 's been so long, I could no longer hold out I push hard and her cervix uteri slides around the head word of my rooster as I push into her womb, mare gives a screeching as she shakes and spasms. Her eyes fly receptive wide as she feels my shaft starting to pee cum directly into her womb. Maria belly laugh."I POPPY hand IT TO ME."

I frisson shake as I thrust abruptly firmly push into her giving her all of my germ. I in great material body, but I 'm so out of breath I feel I 'm going to pass out from the exertion. mare holds on to me tightly as her pussycat clamps down hard on my cock. So hard it 's almost unspeakable but it still milks the finale of my seed into her.

Calophyllum longifolium falls limply to the bed now her pegleg sliding off me. I pulled myself from her as a torrent of cum, her juice and a expert deal of rake flow onto the flat solid of the bed.

I should birth worn a safety, I love her but I do n't want her to be meaning just yet. I want children with this woman More than I want anything. I want to be there with her whenever she needs me. I would hate to be overseas and Maria carrying my child without me to facilitate her.

I moved beside her and watch her face. Her ventilation tells me she 's departed. There 's a smile that constantly covers her face. Even now as I can tell she dreams she still smiles. I watched continually for a yearn time as I hold my passion. She dreams in my arms. Finally she takes a deep breath in her eyes candid. grin that plays upon her sass spreads showing her beautiful teeth. `` I was dreaming about you, you were playing with our children. We had own stead a nice big house, cattle and sawbuck on our ranch. ``

Smiling I ask."Do you retrieve where our ranch is ?"

Holding me shut down she says."I 'll take you there tomorrow, but tonight I sleep in your arms."She kisses me before she again closes her eyes and whispers to me."eternal sleep my lovemaking, eternal rest in my limb as I sleep in yours."

It does n't take her a few seconds the pearl off back to sleep, I feel so at heartsease, so get it on and so comfy I fall asleep.

In the morning I feel lips touching mine. My middle open to see maria kissing me. We still hold each former tightly. She giggles when she sees my optic open."There you are my dear. It 's clock time for us to get up."

We do and find our ranch, as I write a check to the realtor. Maria ca n't believe I now have that kind of money. But I draw from my investment accounting ; going to the local bank I place nearly 200,000 in it for maria to make the cattle farm for my coming back. I hire a attorney draw up a mightiness of attorney to allow her to act in my behalf concerning the ranch. It only takes a one-half an 60 minutes to attain that. Maria insists on a prenuptial correspondence once I explained to her how much money I now control.

We stop at a jeweler for ring for my passion. I had to pay special to bear it done quickly but I 'm brusque on time. We have a nice dinner party and go back to my hotel to love the time together. The dark flies by much too fast and again is morning. Today I take Maria home base for a few hours. She shows her family her ring, and then we tell them of the spread that I now own.

I asked Andres Martinez if he can help Calophyllum longifolium at the spread and he agrees. I tell him they have $ 200,000 to accomplish everything at the ranch. He looks in about unbelief. That 's when I explained to him what my new job is overseas. How we capture insurgents and criminals for the bounty. I have six months more and should bring in another 20 million during that time.

Carlos laughs."You think they would shoot an old infantrymen like me ?"

That 's when I confessed to help tough the job really is,"I do n't desire you to care, but this job is really life-threatening and I 'm making every penny I get."As soon as I get over there I 'll have a will make out giving Maria everything. But I 'm only damn sure I make it back."

The succeeding six calendar month goes by quickly for me. Each day we capture a new insurgent, the first gear six month was just a tender up for this. When it 's all over and done with, I contract is now up and we collect our net bountifulness checks. We have been very fussy during that last six month. Each member the crew is xxxv million buck richer just over the hold up six months. But it seems like each and every time we had raid the Intel leads us straight to another chemical group. As long as we get moving quickly they did n't have prison term to aline and we were able to capture several, sometimes two grouping in a day. We spent the last 30 years training our permutation they went with us that every raid we did. About ten hoi polloi split the bounties for those maraud. We did lots of double maraud during that metre. Last ten mean solar day all we do was back them up which was OK with the residue of us we 've had enough danger for a lifetime.

flight place felt so good, we had a day layover in London. I actually get to spend some time shopping for Maria. I want to get her a special present. I found a beautiful necklace and had it ship it to my ranch. It will arrive a day after I do.

My homecoming is something pretty particular Maria welcomes me back into her arms never to exit, we marry in a small church wedding only a hebdomad after I return. Within three month Maria was pregnant and I never have to provide her side, unless it was just to clean up our kid. We live and work together, made love and more babies, we are well-chosen. That 's all that subject. How bad could it be anyway ?
