What?
Louise said, clearly not have heard our conversation, Ethan spoke up,
I was telling Liam how you went to school with Christian and Christopher
I look at Louise,
Ahh yes I did! When I was thirteen they transferred to my school! Smart kids both of them. Teachers loved them and so did all the girls. The three of us, we were the perfect trio! Always hung out together.
Louise said while driving, I nod,
What about you Liam? You have any childhood friends?
Ethan asks me,
Well umm no...
I reply sheepishly,
But hey you were deployed right? Have any friends from the army?
Louise added
SEBASTIAN'S POV
I'm on my phone call but also trying not to show the fact that I'm eavesdropping on their conversation, I knew for a fact that Louise had gone to school with Christian and Christopher but when the topic of Liam's childhood friends came up I could see him visibly uncomfortable, (does he not have any friends?...when he was deployed...did they die...? No that can't be right...I hope not...but then why is he so uncomfortable and awkward)
Louise turn right here.
I tell him trying to get the conversation away from childhood friends,
But boss...this way is going to be longer.
He said looking at me,
Are you questioning my authority Mr Parker?
Louise gripped the steering wheel,
No boss...
I continue with my call,
Good then turn right here.
He complied and I could see liam relax again which made me more relaxed too, the tension finally leaving the car as we sped off, yes, Louise was right. This rout is going to be longer but I had to change the topic somehow, he looked too uncomfortable like he didn't want to talk about whatever happened, I know someone who came back from war, he was never the same after it, before he was a cheerful old fellow and now he's grumpy and hyper alert about everything, he always sits facing the door, always looks for exits, stuff I'm trained to do as well but never really follow through, I have a whole team to do it for me, I really don't know what Liam is thinking but I hope he doesn't exert himself.
After this we went to two other places, without my parents this time and they went alright but the third guy gave me a migraine so bad that I wanted to shoot him there and then. He's the reason why I hate people. That fake smiles and gestures aren't fooling anything anymore. The day went on and now the sun was setting and we're now heading back home, my mood foul from dealing with the last director. We arrive back at the mansion and I step out of the car and head back to my office to finish some last minute work but I want to take my mind off things, let my rage out somewhere but all our hostages are either dead or released so that's not an option for me right now,
I'm sitting at my desk, mood still foul...Louise is also here along with Ethan watching me work, I finish my last file and slam it shut.
Fuck...I need to get my mind off that bastard before I end up going back and killing him.
I get up and head to my indoor shooting rink while Louise and Ethan follow behind me, I pull out my gun and begin shooting at the targets, one after another getting more and more in rage each second.
