PHOENIX'S POV
I'm sitting in my room bored and tired when I feel an urge to make some sandwiches, I check my fridge and find out that I'm out of bread so I decide to head to the main kitchen to get some, as I leave my room and head downstairs I hear gunshots, I tense up...8 years in the army can do stuff to a man. I stand completely still for a while but then I collect myself and decide to check it out, the sounds are coming from the room at the end of the hallway and I slightly peek inside to see Sebastian shooting at the target, still in rage and Louise and Ethan standing by the door, Ethan spots me and quickly signals me to leave, the look on his face was as if saying,
Run before it's too late!
I quickly turn back around to leave but before I could get a step in I hear Sebastian's voice,
Get in here.
I freeze in my steps as I slowly turn around to see Sebastian glaring right at me. I gulp and slowly make my way inside the shooting room, Louise gives me a worried look as Sebastian steps closer to me and without warning hands me his gun. I stand there speechless and so is Louise and Ethan,
You were in the army right?
He asks with a tone that suggests that he's still mad, I nod slowly.
Good then shoot.
He tells me and something tells me it was not a suggestion but an order, I take a deep breath and take position as I held the gun up with one arm and fire with 8 years of experience under my belt in the army,
Bullseye
The bullet hits the center of the target, I lower the gun and everyone is in stunned silence, then it happens, I hear Sebastian chuckle, everyone turns to look at him and he approaches me
Not bad...I can see you're experienced,
I nod slightly acknowledging the compliment but then I realize, my shoulder is hurting again, I hand over the gun back
You're staying.
I look at him in shock
You don't have a problem with that do you now?
Something in his tone dared me to say I had a problem with it, although my shoulder was aching I reluctantly agreed. He smirks and hands me a gun
Go on them, show me what you've got
LOUISE'S POV
We're standing there with our jaws on the floor, a perfect shot...stuff like that is really something, Ethan is looking especially shocked,
God...even I can't make a shot that perfect...
He says stuff in disbelief,
There's stuff only Military personnel can do buddy.
I Pat his shoulder firmly,
Poor Liam, he walked in at the wrong moment and now look what's going on...
I whispered.
Yeah...plus boss has never invited me or you to shoot with him...how is it that he invited Liam? It's confirmed...boss definitely likes Liam...
Ethan added,
Definitely...and I also think Liam likes boss back but he's too afraid to say it...
I whisper back to Ethan.
It is possible... we'll see what happens then
Ethan whispered back
By the way...how's it going with you and Carter? Did you make a move yet?
I give Ethan a sly smirk as he turns to me all flustered
No..no..what are you talking about
He said as his face is getting red
Oh don't play dumb I know everything. How you spend more time than necessary at the IT department and make excuses to talk to him
Ethan is now visibly embarrassed,
It's that obviously?
He asked sheepishly, I give a slight chuckle and then suddenly we hear a scream and we both turn our heads around to see Liam crouched down on the ground grabbing his shoulder and groans in pain and we both rush over
