My Dad Turns Out to be Eyes

38

Screeching, Jessica immediately lowered her head as Nathan grabbed her to take cover from the shots fired in a row in the room.

Nathan's arms coiled around Jessica's waist and one of her hands again immediately pushed the girl's head around her neck, trying to hug and also protect Jessica.

They were seen taking cover under the table as gunshots were continuously heard throughout the room. The sound of shards from things rumbled throughout the space.

Nathan scrunched his forehead. Although he was grateful that not a single bullet hit or scratched his body but he felt that it was strange here. It was obviously a continuous shot but why did no one hurt him even though those people looked so adept at guns. I don't know, Nathan somehow suddenly felt that the shot was not really directed at them but in the other direction.

Nathan tried his guts to raise his head and ventured to look around where they were hiding. And at that moment both his eyes immediately widened because he saw all the electronic items belonging to his subordinates in the room had been destroyed by bullets, broken glass even scattered everywhere.

A few seconds after that terrifying stampede, the shots finally stopped as well. Nathan and Jessica raised their heads. Jessica looked around in fear. His chest rose and his breath was seen hunting as Nathan looked into his eyes. None of them bothered to ask about each other's circumstances, they already knew the answer.

They remained silent as they then heard footsteps crackling past broken glass strewn across the floor, walking towards where they were sheltering.

"You can get out now!" shout a sound.

Hearing that, Nathan and Jessica stared at each other with terrified expressions. They were still under the table, not intending to obey the words of that person.

"Get out! There will be no more gunshots, I promise you. Yeah, we just wanted to have some fun destroying the equipment in this room." Say that voice again.

Nathan looked at Jessica. The girl was looking at him in fear. Nathan nodded his head, signaling the girl to come out.

"What?" the whisper of fear coming from Jessica was now heard. The girl looked at Nathan in shock as she shook her head tightly. "Don't come out! They're gonna finish you."

"Not going to." Nathan cupped his hands on Jessica's cheeks. "They won't finish us off, I'm sure of it."

Jessica shook her head again but Nathan was not looking at her. Nathan raised his hand.

"We're going out" Nathan said.

Nathan bravely stood right in front of Jessica, while the girl held onto her wrist with a terrified expression. They continued to step back as they finally crashed into the wall on their back.

"Until when are you gonna walk backwards like that?" the words of one of them were followed by the sound of laughter from those people.

"You're Miss Bailey, aren't you?" a firm voice asked him.

He has a different accent than the usual person. Her hair was neatly combed to the right while a brown suit covered her visibly stocky and muscular body.

Jessica gulped her saliva roughly and Nathan tried to move Jessica's tight grip on her wrist to before then she carried the girl's hand to the link of her fingers.

"Do you hold hands as if you were getting married" the man chuckled.

He moved his feet closer to the two men. "Yes, I don't think we've ever been introduced in the right way" the man told Jessica in a relaxed tone. "So, my name is Dimitri."

While gulping her saliva roughly, Jessica's hand continued to hold Nathan's finger tightly. This time tighter than before, Nathan could sense that. Nathan then pushed his glasses further up to the base of his nose and raised his face high. Trying to be brave.

"What do you want?" Nathan said out loud.

Hearing that, Dimitri immediately laughed out loud and Nathan could even feel his body begin to tremble upon hearing the laughter from the man.

"Is it not clear to you?" dimitri asked with a cynical smile, and she pointed at Jessica with her chin. "I'm here because I want to."

Seeing Dimitri pointing at her, Jessica was surprised instead of playing.

"Brobert's favorite son."
