The Gun In My Hand's

Chaptre 30. A Week Without You

Armstrong Company, City of London, UK – 11.42 am.

The feeling of arrogance still enveloped me for finding Elisha who was so open with Kyle, the man she had so much yearned for before. Really, I have to accept this fact.

I still ignored Elisha when my phone rang. I frowned when I saw who called me. Lucy's? He rarely contacted me.

I immediately raised the call and earlier I signaled to Elisha to be silent.

"Say!"

'So when will the two boys be coming home? Is he staying at your place?'

I thought it would be like this, not only me but everyone in my family would be very protective of Luxy and Edward.

"Yes, he's in my penthouse, what's up?"

'That's information if you want us all together.'

What business there is to gather everything. It was rare for the old man to want to make a family event by gathering everyone.

"I'm on a job. Just tell me I'm not coming, maybe Luxy and Edward will be home in a few days. They're not here long."

'Yes. yeah... I'm not guaranteeing you'll accept that excuse. Ah yes, we all know. Is it true that you're dating Zach's cousin, the Armstrong family? Oh shit, I can't believe this. Don't ask us where we've come from, the Computer Flea came by already raving about him and Dad already knew that. He also wants that woman you brought－'

At first I was a fool with Lucy's babble, she was indeed very similar to Luxy who often babbles. However, my mood immediately dropped as he told Elisha and of course with my father's desire to meet Elisha.

I don't like this kind of situation. My family rarely meddles in my personal affairs, especially with women. And why suddenly they want to know, plus the father who is also too involved in this.

Exasperated, I cut Lucy's babble and said, "I don't guarantee I'll bring her anything. But I'll go home with Luxy, just tell him never to send a useless man to shoot his own son!" I immediately turned off the call.

My annoyance ended when Elisha looked very worried. My irritation evaporated because he was beside me. Somehow so quickly my mood changed when faced with Elisha. It's really magical. Even I was so quick to forget about it and was replaced with laughter.

Of course, I can't forget that completely. I decided to leave Elisha for a moment, I gave Elisha's guarding trust to Dereck and the agents. I just didn't want to interrupt his focus at work so I just told Dereck.

To shorten the time, I decided to contact Luxy to get ready to go back to Germany. We plan to go home today. At first we wanted to use a regular flight, but Dad had prepared a private plane for us and I couldn't resist it if I didn't want to accept Dad's anger.

And damn it, I'm angry with my men on this plane. Father purposely complements the tight technology in the network so that our mobile access is limited and can only be accessed if approved by the aircraft system. I'm sure the Computer Flea sold this system to Dad. Look at it later, I'm gonna tear apart the useless stuff at home.

One day later...

Bavarian Forest, Bavaria, Germany - 04.15 pm.

Edward was still reluctant to get up from my arms when we managed to enter the forest area that would lead to our family's hidden home. Almost the same as the Zach palace which is quite hidden, what distinguishes it is only our small house building. Worse, along the way there will be strange people hiding who are equipped with crazy weaponry and ready to shoot anyone they do not know.

By the time we reached Old Broklyn's modest house, I immediately woke up Luxy who was as sound asleep as Edward. Gosh look at this woman, all her sleep she rested her head on my shoulder and even her hair was disheveled covering her face.

I stretched my arms and shook them violently until Luxy's head was jolted. She finally woke up and complained of pain, "Oh, it hurts so much!"

He rubbed his head while looking sinisterly at me. I rolled my eyeballs and said, "We've arrived, wipe your pillow face. Don't you know since the trip I kept carrying Edward and you added to my burden."

"Sad, too much." He said that while just coming out. Just look at him even forgetting Edward.

Just getting out of the car, Lucy's screams have been heard to my ears, "Luxy where's Edward?!"

Luxy who just remembered looked directly at me who was heading towards them. Lucy who initially wanted to babble in front of Luxy finally shouted in excitement to see Edward who was in my sling woke up wiping his eyes.

"Geez Edward we meet again! Look at you so adorable. Come here, aunt will carry you."

When I wanted to move Edward into Lucy's arms, suddenly from behind me my most annoying son of a bitch took Edward.

"He's your nephew, not your nephew." Yes, he is Greg. Lucy who did not accept Edward was taken away by Greg into the house immediately ran after him.

I just shook my head looking at their childish behavior. Luxy and I soon followed them inside. While walking I slowly rubbed Luxy's head and said, "Look

Edward's loved by many, aren't you happy with just having him."

I know he heard what I said, but he was reluctant to comment. I saw that there was still a frail female soul staring at Edward, but it was a long time ago but he still had not forgotten that man.

Upon entering the house, we did not see Father and Mother, until we entered the backyard of the new house we saw them preparing food. Mother who had just put some plates on the table immediately came over when we came, "Geez my son, you're finally home."

He peeped Luxy's face to make her lipstick mark left behind. I chuckled at my mother's behavior, not expecting her to do the same to me.

"Mom, it's embarrassing." Hearing what I said the instant Mom pinched me in the stomach.

"Buuu, this hurts. Geez, do all women like to do this!"

"You're the one who sucks, don't you count how long you haven't been home, huh! Oh my goodness, I thought I had forgotten your face."

Hearing my mum babbling I finally kissed her cheek so she wouldn't do much. As I glanced behind my mother's back, I saw two stiff men who didn't interact with each other. Yeah, that's Kendrick Lucy's husband who became a butcher and my father who became a corn grill. They were next to each other but not chatting at all.

When everything was ready, just now I wanted to sit next to Dad, the annoying thing happened again. My crazy dad pulled out a gun and pointed it at my head while saying, "Where did Edward leave you?"

"What, are you really doing at gunpoint when we want to eat together?" Everyone on the table here looks fed up with my father's always-emotional behavior when he meets me.

"Here you go, Edward with Greg, I think he's doing Edward's doctrines with his weird stuff" Luxy said.

My father dropped his gun and said, "Call them, it's time to eat."

"Greg, come down with Edward if you don't want to make Dad break this dinner table!"

Kendrick, who heard his wife screaming like that, chuckled at him, but then fell silent as his sensitive wife said, "What's wrong with you, what's funny?"

My laughter and Luxy sounded very loud seeing what Lucy said, while Mom just shook her head to see our always noisy behavior at the dinner table. Shortly after, Greg ran with Edward who looked very excited to eat.

We ended up spending time together that we hadn't done in a long time. After the meal, everything that was messy was immediately cleaned up by the women, while Dad took me, Greg, and Kendrick to his room.

We who look not so enthusiastic with the invitation just obey. I just sat down, Dad asked, "So you approached Armstrong's family?"

"What's the problem?"

He just looked at me cynically, and I continued, "What are these two sneaks here for if they just want to ask me?"

"I heard you went to Wenzel's auction and out of nowhere I got word they were after Armstrong's family, whatever the case is there's no guarantee they can't touch us?"

His eyebrows rose and it meant he didn't like what I was doing by getting strangers to turn his attention to me, yes my family would certainly get a bit of a threat.

"You know everything." I can do what if it happens.

My father glanced at Kendrick, "You have a close relationship with Wenzel, I didn't ask you but told you to make it clear to him never to touch this family, I know it's not his fault but as a result of the auction my family will be the target of many people. And you know that you belong to this family too."

Afterward, I glanced at Greg who from earlier looks stupid by reading a book that is not clear, "And you are a damn pervert, stop acting if I do not want to burn all the property you have, I want to burn all the property you have, don't think I don't know what you're doing."

He said it all very quickly without making us defend ourselves. He even ended it quickly, "I'm done and you can get out."

We just complied without arguing about it. When we got out, I heard Kendrick's grunt, "Damn, why am I to blame too."

The grunt was greeted by Greg, "You just ask the culprit."

I who did not accept what they said immediately hit their heads empty-handed and just passed. I know two men who have been in my family for a long time are very emotional let alone increase one more person. Yes, we are the Broklyn family. My father was one of the underground leaders who was quite respected before he left it all because it already had us.

And of course almost everyone in the world knows. Unfortunately, no one knows if she has a child. None of us used the name Broklyn. Who knows our background is only a faithful man to the death working to protect this family. I think only certain people realize we are the descendants of this Old Man. Only one person made me suspicious, where did Wenzel know my identity?

...***...

One week later...

Broklyn's House, Bavarian Forest (Bavaria), Germany - 11.02 pm.

I've spent a week in Germany, and it's really tormenting me for not meeting Elisha. Unfortunately I was held back by the longing of my mother who wanted us to be together for one week. And most annoying of all, Greg, he's shutting down the communication network in this area and just opening it at night.

It frustrates me that I can only message Elisha at night and have to wait for his reply again tomorrow. There's not much I can do here but hang out with my family, but behind it all I get a sign that this isn't just my little family gathering. But this is a warning from my father that this family might not be okay after I take the auction.

Today is my last day here. Tonight I had a chance to sneak into Greg's room. When I entered her room, I was quite amazed because it looked so unreasonable. This brat is indeed very crazy with technology, look at what other items he will create in here. I think Dad always obeyed the will of his youngest son.

I turned on Greg's computer and ransacked the communications network to send a message to Elisha. I also decided to send a message to the executor of the auction who was already my subordinate through my special mobile phone.

'Send any suspicious information from some mafia top who are targeting the Armstrong family.'

I saw clearly that the message had been sent but there was still no response. I decided to use this unusual opportunity to try to track down the location of the number. And what I've found doesn't make me think, it's crazy.

How can the location of the signal be exactly 20 km outside the streets of my house? How could? Who is this guy? Suddenly the spot where the signal flashes several times, it makes me quite panicked. Does that guy know I'm tracking him? I immediately shut down Greg's computer communications network so he doesn't know my exact position here.

And what made my chest even more painful was when Greg suddenly walked into this room, "Damn it, what are you doing in my room?" He who was holding a soft drink in his hand seemed to dislike me.

I who looks stupid move from sitting and passing by, "Just check the useless garbage in your room."

"It's not my room you should check, it's your boyfriend. You check yourself if your lover's in there okay."

...***...

One day later...

Armstrong's Mension, Newcastle (Tyle and Wear), UK - 01.05 am.

And it's true what Greg said yesterday. As I slowly sneaked into Elisha's room through the window, I saw an unsettled Elisha in his sleep. He deliriously shook his head.

"No... No. Who are you?"

When I wanted to hold her hand it immediately made her realize from her sleep with an unusual expression. Elisha widened his eyes, he looked very panicked, and sweat filled his face.

"Elisa.. Relax it's me."
