Four or Dead

Chapter 43

Devaro... Present...

Somehow Emma and I work out a schedule for her to train with some of my best men in the crew. We even had them come up and meet her and it was amusing to see them immediately soften when they met her. It

was as if she was their queen and they were ready to lay their swords to

her every whim.

Truthfully I don't blame them. She has a way about her that turns even one of the cities infamous crime lords soft. You can not imagine how silly it is to see these rough and rugged men surrounding her and laughing and smiling with her. Seriously how does she do that?)

T hate the way I can't help but smile as I watch them interact. I don't understand all the strange things going through my head. I mean she is beautiful and so young but she has this way of seeming old and wise. Like her past has built her into this old soul that speaks to each person that is in her presence.

It hurts how easy I have seemed to fall under the same spell, even though in our first meeting I pretty much threatened her. I admit she has plagued my thoughts a few times since then, to the displeasure of my son. The thing some don't know is that his mom and I had him when we were barely 16.

"So Miss Emma which one of us devils would you like to train with you first?" Anthony, one of our sharpshooters asks her.

She smiles and glances at each of the four guys I recruited for her training.

"Well, I am weirdly excited to learn how to shoot so what do you say, Tony?" No one calls that cold bastard Tony and yet he lights up when she says it.

As I said, it's crazy weird.

I watched for a good hour as my men swooned over this tiny girl before the door to my office bursts open. In comes the four hot heads who claim said girl as theirs. (7
