She held on to Rico's arm as they skated rather slowly and leisurely.
"I know how it is with you navy types, a new port, a new girl,"
Rico wasn't going to give a straight answer,
"Is that so? This is not a port, an also, I know better then to mess with doctors, I might find myself waking up without something important and I'm gonna miss later,"
She then said teasingly,
"Thats right, better behave yourself then,"
"Hey, my graduation is tomorrow, wanna come?"
"Sure, when?"
"I will come pick you up,"
She then smiled and said,
"Do you even know my number and where I live?"
"I assumed you are going to give me that, no worries there,"
"You know, there is caller ID right?"
"Yeah, but I rather you give it to me, afterwards"
"Lazy people these days..."
She looked like she needed a break, but didn't want to say anything, so Rico took the initiative,
"Lets take a little break, I'll get us a sundae,"
She smiled and said, "Alright, Strawberry please,"
"Gotcha,"
He then skated to the vendor and with what little of his leave pay left, he bought two sundaes. They sat down on a bench, she was leaning against him slightly, and he was gently scratching the back on her hand and ate his sundae. He then touched the tip of her hair and said,
"Your hair...it looks so soft,"
She smiled and Rico then stroked her hair, while eating his sundae, all the while glancing at her lips then at her eyes. He then ate the cherry and threw the root ( damn, I forgot what its called... ) away, she then said,
"You know, if you can tie it in a knot, that means you are a good kisser,"
He smiled and said,
"Urban legends...never believe them,"
He then went over and picked the root up and showed it to her,
"What do you know?"
It was tied in a knot. Rico then reached for a kiss, then pushed her away with his index finger on her lip playfully after just making contact, he then did it again, and again, their lips touching slightly longer each time. She then suddenly grabbed him and kissed him, then there was an explosion in the background in the middle of their kiss, Rico then said quietly,
"Whatever it is, act as if we haven't seen it, what is it?"
Rico's back was facing the incident, and he didn't have a weapon on him, damn.
"I see seven men with guns and masks on, medium height, slightly built," she was frightened.
"Good, you will have to be my eyes for a while okay?"
"Yeah..su...sure..."
"Don't worry, I'm here," he then hugged her and stroked her hair.
A man then shouted,
"Everybody up! All you plutocratic scum, stand up!"
Rico then motioned for her to follow him, they just needed to pretend to be regular civilians and don't stand out no matter what.
A civilian then said,
"What is going on!"
"Shut up!"
"You don't tell me to shut up, I'll get my attorney!" the civilian said, reaching for his phone, a masked man then hit the phone out of his hand, and the civilian punched the man and spat on him.
"You, worthless piece of trash!"
Then another man shot him dead, and shouted,
"Shut up and listen, and you will go back to your comfortable lives,"
Celeste fainted, and then Rico pretended to be frightened to his bones,
"Wha...what do yo wa...want Money? I...ca..can give you all the money you want, my family will pay a handsome...ran.. ransom,"
He was taking a gamble.
"You! Our leader will see you out back!"
"Ye..yes sir,"
He then left, he is a trained fighter..he can probably take them on with his bare hands and get hold of a weapon. When he exited the building he saw two dozen men with rifles, he knew he lost the gamble. He then had a sudden headache and collapsed to his knees, a man came over a kicked him,
"Get up you scum! Get up!"
He felt something snap in his mind, their leader said,
"You are worth more dead then alive, kill him, we don't need their kind"
Rico stood up with his right hand covering his left eye and said calmly and coldly,
"Mistakes are normally made without full knowledge of the consequences,"
The leader then said,
"Are you some kind of stoic or something?"
"The only ones who should kill are the ones who are prepared to be killed," he then lifted his hand and swiped it across,
"Rico di Romano commands you....all of you...die!"
Suddenly all of the men then snapped to attention and said,
"Yes, my lord!"
They did so smiling and then pointed their guns at each other and opened fire. Blood spilled everywhere and all over his body. Rico froze in fear, what is this power? He then thought, whatever this is...it is extremely useful, a blessing...
P.S. the masks the terrorists were wearing only covered the bottom half of their face.
How do you like my power
I told you it would be showcased...in style
