Daughter

Ryder

"This is not a good idea" Gordon whispered.

"I believe it is a great idea" I raised my eyebrow glancing at him.

"You're going to get us killed" He mumbled.

"Well if you don't want to get killed then stay still and stop ranting before someone realizes we're not actual guards" I groaned.

"Okay fine" He said rolling his eyes and I went back to looking right in front of me.

Yes, we were pretending to be guards. The actual guards were long gone by now. I didn't know exactly what the plan was. I just went for it, which was really risky and dangerous, but more fun.

"What's the plan?" Gordon asked after about five minutes, "Are we going to stand here forever?" He whined.

"Man stop whining" I rolled my eyes, "Everything is under control. I have it all planned out in my head" I assured him.

Yeah, that was a total lie. I was just buying time and trying to see if something would happen.

Suddenly an idea came to my mind, but I needed to leave this place for a bit.

"Gordon I need to go" I said.

"Go?!" He almost yelled and I elbowed his side, "What do you mean go?" He whispered.

"I need to call someone, you have to cover for me" I said not giving him a choice and walked behind some bushes hearing him huff in the background.

He is probably scared to death and anxious as fuck right now.

I took out my phone and called one of the others. He immediately picked up.

"Hey, what's up?" He asked.

"Look, I have a plan"

I ended the phone call and started walking towards Gordon who was now talking to someone. I could tell by his body language that he was holding back from shaking out of fear and anxiety.

It was a good thing we were wearing masks. It was included in the guard's "costume".

As soon as he saw me he gave me a dirty look, but I ignored him.

I went back to my spot and looked at the man. He gave me a disgusted look and turned his back walking away.

"What did you tell him?" I asked Gordon.

I knew it wasn't too good when Gordon started trying to hold back his laughter.

"Gordon what the fuck did you tell him?"

"He asked where the other guard is and I told him you're taking a shi-"

"Oh God" I groaned and rolled my eyes.

"Couldn't you say anything less-" I trailed off.

There is no point in arguing especially now.

"So I'm guessing you have a plan now?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" I huffed, "I had a plan already"

"Yeah sure" He said with a smirk, "When are they coming?" He asked.

"In a few minutes, they'll be here"

"So what's the plan now?"

"I'll only give you one hint" I said hoping it would work, "Don't break character"

He nodded, "You got it, boss"

"Don't call me that" I said cringing and he chuckled.

A few minutes passed and we stayed silent without moving.

"So-"

Before Gordon could continue we heard a gunshot and I knew it was show time.

Gordon looked at me watching me smirk.

"Oh God" He said giving me a worried look, "You really are getting us killed, huh?"

"Shut up and let's go check who it is" I said still smirking.

Of course I knew who it was. I was the one who told them to attack. What was important was keeping our identities a secret. I had to convince "Mr Scott" that we were his allies.

I walked ahead and looked at to look at Gordon one last time, "If you break character, we will die. Quite literally. So don't do it" I instructed him.

He nodded and gesture for me to keep walking.

We could hear several gunshots and chaos inside the mansion. We stepped inside to see a whole war zone. I became worried about our people. I didn't want any of them to get seriously injured, or worse.

There weren't many people in the living room but there were a few guards looking alerted.

"Where have you two been!?" One of the asked.

"There was someone outside, we had to get rid of him" I said.

He immediately became alerted and ran outside.

"Well that was-"

"Shut up!" I said.

Anyone could hear us anytime and I didn't want to risk it.

I gesture for him to follow me upstairs. Mr Scott was probably upstairs in his office, either hiding or being threatened by our people right now.

I was hoping for the latter.

We saw some people running down the stairs. They were ready to shoot when they saw us.

Stupid.

"I don't think you want to kill him" Gordon said.

"Go-"

"Shut up" I mumbled, "Go do your job"

They obeyed and we ran upstairs.

This happened a couple more times till we arrived at the office. The guards of the house kept ignoring us thinking we were doing our job.

When we arrived at the office I had to keep myself back from smirking.

Mr Scott was at gun point.

I was debating on whether I should just let them do their job, or act like I want to save him. I decided to go with the second option just in case.

Gordon and I aimed at our own people, but they were more than us.

"Let him go" I told them.

I saw the shock in their eyes for a minute. They must have recognized my voice, but they recovered in just a few seconds.

"As if we'll listen to you" He said with a sarcastic laugh.

This bastard is using his chance to disrespect me isn't he.

What worried me was the fact that Mr Scott wasn't fazed at all. He had a subtle smile on his face and that was really concerning.

"You don't need to pretend and wear masks boys" He told us.

Well, damn.

"I'd recognize Gordon anywhere" He said.

"Oh well, thanks" Gordon chuckled dusting off his shirt.

I rolled my eyes and took off my mask, "Give me one reason why you should not die right now" I said.

"Well what if I told you that I know exactly what your girl is doing right now?" He asked.

I froze once I realized what he'd said.

How does he know? Does he have her?

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"What if I told you that right now she hates you?" He asked faking pity.

"What the fuck do you mean?"

My heart was beating a mile a minute. I had never been this anxious.

"Gordon, I've heard you're quite fond of my daughter" He asked with a grin.

"Oh hell no, you daughter must be ugly as fuck with these genes" Gordon said.

"I don't think my dear Mary is ugly" He said.

We both looked at each other with wide eyes.

No.

"M-Mary?" Gordon asked.
