“David, I need a break, “ said Brandi.
“Sorry, if trying to keep you alive is boring you,” said David.
“It’s not, but there’s a plantation in Suwannee, Georgia. I’d like to visit.”
“Sounds nice, if you’re into old building and boredom.”
She ran her hand up his leg. “I promise you’ll enjoy it.”
“Sure, why not.”
David was bored ten minutes after arrival. While waiting for a room to be cleaned, they walked through the maze of shrubs. David noticed something small sparkle in the distance.
“That’s weird, Brandi…”
Brandi slumped forward. Brain tissue and blood soaked David.

Yikes! That ending took me totally by surprise! I’m guessing the “sparkle” was a the sunlight glinting off of a gun sight…
Exactly, nice catch.
Dear Cole, So she was under protection. How did they know how to find her? What a tragedy. Now her guard is going to feel bad forever because he did something he knew he shouldn’t do. Great story and well executed!
Thanks Nan, sometimes a guy’s not thinking clearly, when a beautiful woman hits on him.
Wish I hadn’t been reading over dessert. So much for keeping her alive.
I was thinking the sparkle off a bullet, but maybe a bullet would be going to fast to have a sparkle, which means it must be from a gunsight. Unexpected ending!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Yes, I did. 🙂
Oh, God, how horrible! He’s sure not enjoying his time there now…
How true. You go in expecting one thing and then wham!
Oh dear – that’s a gory ending. Such a shock – he should have been more careful. Very effective story-telling.
Thanks for the compliment. You’re right, he should”ve known better.
I guess that’s the end of his career (as well as hers).
What’s his name – I want to make sure that if he shows up a gain I never use him.

A great comment – “What’s his name – I want to make sure that if he shows up a gain I never use him.”
Sometimes a beautiful woman can make you do something you’ll regret later.
If only he’d been hard on her and not hard for her she’d still be alive. I doubt he’ll soon forget this assignment.
It will follow him. Thanks for reading.
