Miranda was back in the car and was waiting for Roy to come and open her door for her. When suddenly she heard and felt a loud noise and was on fire. She was burning and she was screaming. She could here some one calling her “Miranda…Miranda….Miranda!” She woke with a start and sat straight up in bed breathing slowly. James exhaled in relief “It was a nightmare, no one is in here hurting her.” he thought. “Miranda it’s all right it was just a bad dream, I’m here and your safe.” he said. Miranda realized he had his hands on her shoulders and she moved away quickly. “Yes James I can see that I am fine. I thought I told you that my room was off limits?” she said coldly. “Listen you highness, your room is supposed to be off limits but when It’s 3 a.m. and I hear screaming coming from your room, it’s my job to get up and make sure you are all right.” he said. “You searched my room earlier with my permission and found nothing harmful in here, so why would you assume something was terribly wrong now?” she started to dismiss him but James retaliated too quickly. “Damn it Miranda I know you have a hard time listening to explanations but in this case you are going to listen to this one because it’s one you need to hear!” He said as he stood up in front of her. “Yes, I checked your room, I couldn’t find anything, and there isn’t anything in here now obviously because it would have killed you by now. But that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t a chance that I could have missed something earlier, I don’t know how this guy’s mind works, he has done something slightly different with each editor and if he has saved you for last I can only guess that you are the one he is really anxious for, you know saving the best for last. So we have no idea just how cleaver he is, so that’s why I came running in here, there was still a chance I missed something, not a large one but a chance, I’m speaking with the police and getting extra security measures tomorrow to station outside the house.” he said and sat back down on her bed. Miranda noticed that he was just inches away from her. He laid his hand on top of hers gently “I will protect you Miranda.” he said seriously. Miranda sniffed “yes, very well you will be pleased to know that I work from home on Saturdays and Sundays so I won’t be going anywhere this weekend, now go back to your room and get some sleep as you can see I’m fine.” James got up and walked towards the door “Good Night Miranda” he said and walked out. He went down the hall and back to his room. She had certainly acted like she was fine. “Why do I get the feeling that she isn’t though?” he thought and climbed back into bed. Miranda had waited a good five minutes before she crept out of bed and down the stairs and moved into the room where Patricia slept. “Patricia, here girl.” she called. Patricia woke up and wagged her tail. “come on girl.” she said. Patricia followed Miranda back up the stairs and into her room. Miranda got back in bed and patted a spot next to her. “Come Patricia it’s all right you can get on the bed with me.” Patricia jumped up and laid down beside Miranda “Good Girl.” Miranda said and scratched her head. Several minutes later she was once again asleep.
Miranda woke again at 7 am and got up and let Patricia out of her room. Then she showered, dressed in slacks and a white low cut top, stilettos, did her hair and make up and went downstairs to find James in the kitchen. James couldn’t help but look at her cleavage. There was no denying that he wanted her “You want most of the women you protect or work with.” he admitted to himself “What is this?’ Miranda said motioning to the ingredients all over the kitchen counter. “I’m making Belgium waffles for breakfast.” he said simply. Miranda rolled her eyes. “Now listen here your highness I can guarantee you it will not hurt you to eat one or two of these, that gorgeous ass of yours won’t loose it’s shape over a couple of waffles and a little syrup for breakfast.” he smirked when he saw her glare at him. “Don’t be like that I’m male and if you didn’t want people staring you shouldn’t wear stuff like that.” he said. “Stuff” she hissed. “this is not stuff, it is clothing, made by designers from around the world. Designers who have clawed their way to the top with nothing but sheer ambition driving them on, this is not stuff this is there life’s work.” she said coldly. “Ok note to self never say stuff” he thought. He did looked slightly stung and Miranda smirked at that. Miranda walked over and got her coffee and then turned to James and said “No, one waffle will not hurt me.” James smirked and finished making breakfast.
After breakfast Miranda went into her study to attend to her emails. James got on the phone with the chief of police and got everything worked out with security situations. At 11 that morning Miranda heard a knock on the door to her study. “come in” she said quietly. James walked into the room and sat down. “I have spoken to the police and there will be security stationed outside the townhouse and outside Runway. They will be on regular shifts.” He said. Miranda nodded “ Will any of them becoming in the house?” she asked. “Unless you want them too then no, I will be the only one inside the house and inside Runway.” “That is acceptable.” she said. “So, you work from home on the weekends unless there is an emergency, so what do you do to occupy all of your time?” James asked. “Making small talk are we?” Miranda replied not looking away from her laptop. James waited patiently and Miranda finally rolled her eyes. “If the twins are home for the weekend I spend time with them if not I usually focus more on work.” “Well seeing as how I’m stuck here with you your highness what will we be doing today?” Miranda finally looked at him when he said this. “We, will not be doing anything together.” She said. James shook his head and got up to leave the office. Miranda looked at her computer and had received and email from an address she didn’t recognize. She clicked on it and did her best not to gasp. “James, come here and look at this.” she said. “I thought we weren’t going to be doing anything together.” he teased. “Don’t be a smart ass now come here and look at this….please.” she said quietly. James was momentarily startled by her use of the word but when he came around to look at the email he saw that she was tense. He looked at the email and said “Oh My God.”
Dear Miranda,
Your time is near, you are probably wondering why I have saved you for last. Well I will tell you, you have been my sole target all along. I only murdered all of the others as a warning to you as to what was coming. I want to see you suffer slowly. Your friend saved you from the car bomb obviously, but don’t think he can always protect you. I will get you and you can be sure, my sweet, that it will be slow and painful unlike all the others. There’s was quick, and virtually painless, don’t count on the same for you. Your life will soon come to an end beautiful, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it, Not your body guard or any other amount of security. Until next time.
Yours truly,
X
“James” Miranda whispered. She looked up at him and saw that she was honestly scared. “I’m going to call M and have them hack your email and try and trace where this came from, I will also inform the police and have them do the same thing.” Miranda nodded. “Go into the sitting room and watch some TV or something. I will take care of this.” Miranda once again nodded and left and headed into the sitting room and got lost in her thoughts. “I don’t know what to do, for the first time in a long time I’m not the one in control of the situation, and I’m scared. What if James can’t protect me? What about my girls? Why is this happening to me? I know I’m a frigid bitch when it comes to work but who would go this far?” she was shaken from her thoughts by James entering the room and sitting down on the couch next to her. “Everything is being taken care of, if we are lucky we can trace the email.” Miranda nodded. “James got up and went over to the bar and fixed her a drink. “James it’s barely noon.” she said. “yeah well I don’t think that standard drinking rules apply right now, you look like you could use one.” He handed her a martini and sat back down. “thank you.” she said softly. “I think I know what you are thinking.” he said. “You do not know me James, you do not know what I am thinking.” she said coldly. “I can read you better than you think, it’s my job to be able to read people and I can tell you are scared because you are so tense, and you are thinking what if I can’t protect you right?” Miranda stared at him for the longest time and finally nodded her head slightly. “I will protect you, I will find out who is doing this and I will stop them, I promise, I won’t disappoint you.” “James so many people disappoint me everyday why should you be any different?” she asked. “Because I am different.” he said sincerely. Miranda simply raised an eyebrow. “You know what we need to get your mind off of this what is your favorite type of music?” he asked. “I love classical music.” she said quickly. James smirked “You might love it but it isn’t your favorite, I’m a government agent I keep all kinds of secrets and I can certainly keep this.” he said. “If it will help I am a huge ABBA fan.” Miranda raised her eyebrows in surprise, she would never have guessed that. She smirked and then said. “they aren’t have bad.” “Okay, so you like ABBA, but it’s still not your favorite I can tell.” Miranda rolled her eyes and finally mumbled “country” James grinned what was that I didn’t hear you?” he said. “Why are you telling him this?” she thought to herself. “I’m waiting.” James said. “I do not like to repeat myself if you didn’t hear me the first time then it’s your loss.” Miranda said. “all right your highness I’m sorry I did hear you and I must say I’m surprised that the fashion icon is into country music.” Miranda refrained from rolling her eyes and instead raised an eyebrow. “I’m known for being unpredictable so why should it surprise you when I’m known to be full of them?” James couldn’t think of anything else to say for once so he decided he needed to change the subject quick. “All right well are there any games you like to play so we can pass sometime, unless of course you have work?” Miranda started to say “yes, I have work to do I always have work to do, you fool.” but she decided against it and nodded her head and replied. “The girls have a few different games upstairs in the entertainment room.” “All right then lets see if we can find anything interesting.” James said and Miranda got up and led the way. They both decided immediately that they wanted a board game or a card game. “How about Monopoly?” James asked. “No” “Sorry?” “No” James grinned “Strip poker?” Miranda looked up at him and pursed her lips. “Sorry, it was a joke your highness. What about Gen?” he asked. “acceptable.” Miranda replied and they sat down at a table in the entertainment room and James began to shuffle the cards.
The time flew by and Miranda hated to admit it to herself but she was actually having fun with James. She looked up and he smiled at her. “He is rather handsome” she thought “I’ve got you this time your highness, you won’t win this hand.” James chided. “Gin!” Miranda said and laid her cards down. James threw his cards down “Bloody hell it’s impossible to win a game a cards with you.” Miranda smirked “I never loose James don’t you know anything of my reputation?” “Your highness it wasn’t your skill that overpowered my as much as the fact that I can’t keep my eyes off of your cleavage.” James said grinning. Miranda frowned “Must you always ruin a pleasant moment?” James shrugged “I’ve been known to be cheeky, don’t you know anything of my reputation?” he said repeating her. Miranda fought back a smile and thought “yes you are cheeky James, very cheeky.” James’s cell phone rang and he excused himself and went out of the room, leaving Miranda alone with her thoughts. “Did I just agree to myself that he is cheeky?” Miranda shook her head. “However, a much better nickname is womanizer, I will not be seduced by him just so he can have a quick roll in the hay.” James came back into the room then. “Well Miranda, both the police were not able to track down the origin of the email, my guys however, have narrowed it down to several locations, but this guy is smart and the locations are probably completely irrelevant at this point. I’m sorry.” Miranda nodded her head and got up. “Listen, we have missed lunch completely what do you say we have a dinner date?” Miranda raised an eyebrow. “I thought you didn’t want me going anywhere today, and besides I’m not in the mood to go out anywhere James.” “No I mean we have dinner delivered here, I bet we can even get one of the officers to go and get it for us, and then we both get dressed up and have our own private dinner party.” Miranda hesitated. “Come on your highness, it will help to take your mind off of things and then afterwards you can kick my ass at some other game or you can work or we can watch a movie, after that it will be up to you and you have to eat at some point and time.” Miranda nodded her head “Very well then, we will do that, so I will go get dressed and you can get dressed and take care of everything that’s all” Miranda said and walked out of the room. “No Miranda that won’t be all tonight the games officially begin.” James said with a smirk…… TBC
