Secured Sevenfold

Brian’s POV
I was having my favorite dream, I was a rockstar, in a worldknown band with all my friends. Matt was singing, Arin played the drums, Johnny walked across the stage with a bass and Zack stood next to me. I was just heading for shredding solo, when Zack said to me with a smirk
“Gates, if you do this solo without mistakes you can claim your prize” He looked over to the side of the stage and I saw a hottie standing there. I smiled widely “You sure? You are definitely losing this”
I don’t know why I but I knew this was a big deal, I somehow knew Zack and I had been fighting over
this hottie for a long time, I wanted to win this and I concentrated on moving my fingers over the fretboard. As always in this dream, I rocked…
“Suck that!” I smiled at Zack while walking past him on my way to finally claim what was mine
“ Brian” I heard a voice “Brian, please wake up”
But I wasn’t going to wake up, not before I finally claimed my prize, I put my hands on the hottie’s waist and pulled her to my body and kissed her. I sighed into the kiss, this felt amazing, now I knew exactly what I had been longing for all this time. This woman turned me on so badly, I knew exactly how I wanted this dream to end, I would take her to my dressing room, and take her, like the rockstar I was. I roamed my hands over her body and heard her say my name again.

It was only then that I felt a very real undream like push against my body.
“BRIAN!” It took me a few moments, before I finally registered this wasn’t my dream anymore, this was very real and the voice whisper calling my name was Jacky.
I quickly opened my eyes and saw her lying under me, her eyes full of question, her cheeks hot. I had her pinned to the bed and I was doing a lot more than kissing. My erection was full force and I realized I had been mimicking sex moves. Shit!
I quickly rolled off of her “I…. I’m sorry! I wasn’t really awake”
A glance of disappointment was shown in her eyes, but as quick as it came, it was already gone. Damn, she was having a spell on me, which I didn’t seem to be able to get out of. What was wrong with me?! I promised Zack. FUCK!
I let my head fall back on my pillow and wanted to turn to my side to go sleep again.
“Brian! Don’t fall asleep” Jacky sounded hasty and scared pushing my shoulder “I think there might be someone in the house…. I heard all these strange noises, it seemed as if somebody tried to get in”

I sat up in the bed and listened together with Jacky.
“There! Listen” I heard some rummaging at the front door and then definitely the sound of the door opening, footsteps through the house. Shit! What was I doing, this was what I was hired to do, protect her, and seeing someone just broke in her house to get to her, this seemed like the example situation of my subject being in danger.
My look went over to Jacky, she looked scared and she was shivering. I pulled her hand in mine and forced her to look at me.
“Jacky, listen carefully, okay?” She nodded with eyes full of fear
I continued whispering very softly to her “I’m going to check out what is going on, stay in here, whatever you hear, you can’t come out, you have to stay in the bedroom, okay?”Another nod.
“Call Zack in the meantime, tell him there is someone in the house and that I will execute procedure 61, he’ll know what to do. Do you understand what I just said?”
“Yes” she replied quietly. Another voice came out of the livingroom, and I saw her eyes dart over my shoulder “I’m scared” she whispered.
“It will be okay, I promise” I put a kiss on her forehead and got out of bed pulling my shirt over my head.

A quick look around the room told me I had nothing that would even fit as a weapon in here. We did some armed jobs, but we had decided it would be better not to bring guns into these women’s houses. I cursed that decision now, I would have liked to have something to defend myself with now. I slowly opened the door and looked in. The apartment was dark, and I took a moment to let my eyes get used to the dark, before I quietly moved forward, closing the door behind me. I knew it was a fake sense of security, but it made me feel a tiny bit better that whoever was in the house, had to open a door before they could get to Jacky. I let my eyes wander over the room, trying to see or hear where the person was that had the audacity to break into this apartment while I was here.
Suddenly I heard a noise coming from the kitchen and I moved to the corner to be able to have a peek. A hooded guy was going through the cabinets as if he was looking for something. I needed to get him out of the kitchen, too many things he could use as a weapon, on top of what he might have already on him and I had nothing. Those odds were never in my favor and I needed to turn that around.

The sidetable next to made had a magazine on it, and I decided to throw the magazine into the livingroom as a diversion. The man walked passed me, looking around frantically to see where the sound had came from. Then he seemed to realize what he came here to do and he moved to the bedroom door. As soon as his hand moved to the doorknob I spoke up
“Wouldn’t do that if I was you” I quickly moved up behind him, but as soon as I was close enough to hit him, he made feint and moved to the exact opposite. He quickly ran for the door.
“You weren’t supposed to be here!” He yelled just before he swung the door open and ran out. I ran after him, but as soon as I was at the end of the corridor I couldn’t even see him anymore, he was gone.
“SHIT!”

“Brian?” I heard a quiet voice behind me. I looked around and saw Jacky standing in the opening of her front door. She looked so fragile and scared.
“I told you to stay inside!”I walked over to her, she could have gotten hurt if she had come out earlier. I towered over her, grabbed her arms and looked down at her mad. I wanted to be angry with her, but then I saw two single tears running down her cheek and she shivered. I moved my arms around her and hugged her tight. I felt her body starting to shake uncontrollably and my shirt was getting wetter with the second, she was crying. I hated when women cried.
“I … I… w-was so s-scared, he was s-so c-close” she managed to stutter out.
“I know sweetie, I know, it’s okay now, he’s gone, you are safe. Let’s get inside, you are freezing”
We moved inside, her never leaving my embrace and I moved us to the bedroom to put her in bed. She needed to warm up a little and the smaller space of the bedroom seemed to calm her down a little. I held her for a while until she wasn’t crying anymore. I hated to let go of her, but I had to call Matt. If they would put a move on Jacky, they might do the same with her sister.
“Jacky, I have to call Matt, I will be back quickly, okay? I promise I will stay in front of your door, all the time”
She looked at me with bloodshot eyes and gave me a barely noticeable nod. She looked so sad and vulnerable and I just couldn’t take it. I bend down and gave her a small peck on the lips. Just one little kiss for comfort, to make her feel better, to make me feel better. I guess we could both use it.

Matt’s POV
It was in the middle of the night when my phone began to ring.
It could only be an emergency if someone would call me this late, so I dragged my sleepy body from under the covers and grabbed my phone from the nightstand.

“Don’t tell me she escaped again?” I said angred and concerned at the same time.
“No, she is not. We got a serious situation here, Matt.”Brian sounded really concerned and I turned to business mode right away.
“What happened?”I asked him and he sighed.
“Someone broke into Jacky’s house. He was in the freaking apartment.” Brian stated and I couldn’t believe my ears.
“Shit, what?!” I got out of bed in an instant. “Is she hurt, did they get to her?” I couldn’t hold back my concern and my voice shook with the violence I felt.
“No, no… I was… with her, when it happened. I went out to get the guy, he said something about I wasn’t supposed to be here, so they might thought that Jacky would be unprotected. I couldn’t catch him, was gone too fast but Matt, he could outsmart the new installed security system. They are professionals that’s for sure… I don’t even want to imagine what they would have done, if I wouldn’t have been here.” Brian said quietly and I pulled my pants on while talking.
I had to check on Joe, immediately.
We had to fly back home, I had to make sure she would be safe, without any discussions.
“So, how is Jacky?” I asked being concerned for her well-being, she would be shocked no doubt.
“She is… okay. Was shocked of course…” Brian said and sounded really concerned which made me think about the whole thing even more.

“Pack up her and your stuff and bring her to the mansion. She won’t be safe in her apartment anymore. Just pack up some necessities, you can grab the rest another day. I want her safe, at all costs.” I told him and Brian knew from my tone that I was serious and it wasn’t up for debate.
“I thought the same, I will bring her to the mansion tonight. Will send you a message when we arrive.” With that Brian hung up and I finally made my way out of my room.

I walked towards Joe’s room and banged on the door, not caring that it was the middle of the night.
“Be quiet! I’m coming! who-” Joe opened the door and looked adorable in her little night gown and her hair in wavy curls from sleep, no time to think about that now, what was wrong with me...
“Should have known” She sighed and I stepped inside, without her inviting me.
“What… Matt!” She complained and I stopped in the middle of the room Liv looking at me with a frown.
“We will leave tomorrow, I will book a flight for us three early in the morning. So you better pack up your stuff.” I told her and Joe looked at me astonished then opened her mouth to argue but I cut her off.
“Don’t argue with me. Someone broke into the apartment of your sister.” I told her and she looked not angry anymore but shocked.
“What? Is Jacqueline okay?” she asked and made a step towards me.
“She is fine. Brian kept her safe, he was with her all the time. He will bring her to our mansion, to make sure nothing like this will happen again, she will be surrounded by security at all times. And we will do the same. So pack up your stuff and be ready tomorrow morning, both of you.”
I made a step towards the door, doorknob in hand when I felt a light touch on my arm.
“Matt, this is ridiculous-” I sighed turning to face Joe again.
“This is not ridiculous, don’t fight with me, you will only lose. So pack up your stuff I will be at your door at 11:30, that’s when we leave for the airport, without any discussions.” With that I opened the door and went back to my own room. Why couldn’t she just listen for one fucking time!
