Dirty Laundry

I groaned as i felt someones hand on my shoulder.

''Wha-'' they put their hand over my mouth. I opened my eyes to come face to face with Smith. He lifted his hand and put it to his lips. ''What?'' I whispered.
''They're in the kitchen..come on'' He grabbed my arm hauling me to my feet and practically dragging me to his room. He shoved me in his closet handing me a gun and
Kyle in my arms.

''Don't make a sound..if I'm not back in twenty minutes call Landon'' He handed me his cell phone. I looked at him wide eyed with fear. ''What?..you can't go out there
alone two against one isn't fair'' ''It's fair enough now stop talking and get to hiding'' He pushed me in the closet more. ''I'll put Kyle down and help you-'' ''No'' ''Smit-'' ''No'' ''I can fight too-''

''No'' He reiterated. I bit my lip looking at him worried. This damn bastard is gonna get himself killed. ''Now hide'' He walked out and closed the door. Kyle stirred in my arms and I rocked him back to sleep. I sat on the floor in a corner holding Kyle worried. I could hear Cerberus barking, men shouting, and gunshot being fired. I held Kyle closer to me as he cried out. I calmed him down and set him down. I looked at Smith's cell phone. Only ten minutes had gone by. I made sure he was comfortable amid the extra blankets in the closet and went to the door. The gun before me I made sure the safety was off. I opened it carefully and walked out. one step at a time I made it to the stairs. it was quiet, too quiet I could hear men talking in a foreign language. German? Something like that. I tiptoed to the living room where Smith was standing a few feet from a dark haired man dressed in all black. Guns aimed at each other they spoke in low threatening voices. Smith's arm was bleeding and the man was splattered in blood there was another man dead on the floor pooled in his own blood. Smith was facing me as the man had his back to me. Smith glanced at me then to the man I walked out slowly behind the man and aimed at his head

''Drop your gun'' I growled. He put his hands up dropping his gun with a smile on his face. Smith kept a gun on him but his glare was directed at me. I knew I wouldn't't hear the end of it. ''You two are scaring the baby'' I explained with a shrug. The man put his hands on
his head and I patted him down for any other weapons. I found two more guns and three knives. ''Kick off your boots'' I ordered. He kicked them off and I kicked them to the side. ''How
did you know there was knives in them?'' The man asked with a heavy accent ''I'm not stupid..'' I snorted. I circled to his front and unbuckled his pants. He smirked winking at me ''Don't get cocky your not my type'' I rolled my eyes. I took his belt which had little pockets with explosives in it and lowered it to the floor carefully and kicked it away lightly. I lifted his shirt and found a bullet proof vest. ''Very thorough where did you find her?'' He snorted at Smith. I narrowed my eyes on his ear. I grabbed his chin angling his face to take a look at his earring. ''Really?..wow that's childish'' I sighed as I unhook the earring and tossed it at Smith ''poison coated mini daggers'' I explained. I glared at the man and kicked the back of his knees. He fell to the floor with an ''oof'' and I looked over to Smith

''What do you wanna do with him?'' I asked. ''I told you to stay upstairs'' ''Yeah well I would have if you guys didn't't stop scaring my baby..besides your not the only one who knows how to kill'' I snorted. ''Then kill him'' Smith challenged. ''OK'' I shot the man in the head. Smith looked at me wide eyed as the man fell to my feet dead. ''You're a civ-'' ''I was trained to kill Smith..I almost killed two people by the time I was thirteen..but people begged me for their lives so they're still living'' Cerberus was growling at the bodies.

''I'm going to call a clean up crew..if anyone asks I shot that man'' ''Protocal?'' ''This isn't't funny shanell this isn't't a joke'' ''No it's not but I'd rather laugh than act like I have a fifty foot pole up my ass, doesn't't it get tiring being stoic all the time?'' ''Go upstairs and clean off..'' ''Fine'' I rolled my eyes. I went upstairs and took kyle from the closet. I put him in his crib
and took a shower. I walked into my room with a towel on and Smith stood by the crib. ''I'm sorry'' He whispered. ''Don't be'' I shrugged as I went to the closet and grabbed my night gown.

''I over reacted'' ''A little'' I nodded as I walked out and braided my hair to one side. I looked to his arm and sighed ''Your bleeding'' ''It's just a flesh wound'' ''Come on'' I grabbed his uninjured arm and sat him on the toilet. I grabbed the peroxide and bandage wrap. He pulled his shirt off and I cringed at the little bleeding nicks and cuts on his torso. I
bandaged and disinfected him. ''There'' I patted his arm lightly and looked down at him. He really was a handsome guy and the way he was looking up at me made my throat dry.

I just kind of stood there with my hand on his shoulder like an idiot as we stared at each other. The doorbell disturbed us and I backed away and threw out the bloodied cotton swabs and cotton balls I used to clean his cuts. ''I'll get that'' He stood up throwing his shirt in the hamper. I heard Kyle crying ''I'll get Kyle'' I washed my hands and went to my room.
I rocked Kyle and wrapped him in a blanket. I laid him down and went downstairs to make a bottle. Men moved around cleaning up the blood and taking the bodies. A few paused to
look at me but Smith would order them back to work. Kyle cried over the baby monitor and I went back upstairs and fed him lulling him back to sleep.

Smith knocked lightly on my door and I answered it. ''Can we talk?'' He whispered. I nodded and he stepped in and sat on the corner of my bed. ''Are you OK?'' He asked in a low
voice. ''Yeah..why?'' ''You just killed a man'' ''I didn't really look at him I was looking at you when I pulled the trigger so it's not as bad as it could have been and I was raised to give no
mercy'' I whispered to him. ''You're not going to have nightmares?'' ''I don't think so..do you get nightmares?'' ''..No'' ''Don't lie to me'' ''Sometimes'' ''Is it always your first kill?'' ''Sometimes, well I'll let you go to bed'' ''OK'' I nodded. He stood up and went to the door. ''Smith'' I called lightly. He paused looking at me. ''..Goodnight'' I said pathetically. ''Night'' he nodded as he locked and closed my door. A light blush covered my cheeks and I wasn't too sure why. I meshed my lips and climbed into bed. I fell into a light sleep aware of everything around me. I woke up a few times because of Kyle but once I got him to sleep again it was fine.
