"Shut your mouth .

When she said that Zack immediately obeyed her . He doesn't have the guts to talked back to her . He's afraid that if he does there's no more tomorrow for him .

Zack realizes that he's being a wimp in front of this woman . He's never been like this to anyone and yet this woman can make him bowed down to her like nothing . His pride is starting to deplete because of this unknown woman .

Mary was about to speak to him again when the doork.n.o.b was slowly turning . Without much of a choice, Mary hid behind the door as it slowly opened . A middle-aged man came in sight wearing a black suit and black gla.s.ses, the way he dressed he looked like he's from the movie "Men in Black" .

"Excuse me, young sir, did a young woman came in here?" He asked .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

Zack couldn't speak, he doesn't know what to respond to his question . He secretly looks behind the door and saw Mary who's getting ready to take down that guy . The middle-aged man noticed his line of sight and was about to look behind the door when Zack spoke to stop him, "No one else came in my room except you mister and please get out I need to rest . " Zack's voice was steady and full of authority . The man just nodded and left the room .

Zack let out a heavy sigh, his heart was beating too fast . Who was that man? He looked so dangerous and what was this woman did to him? Zack turns his head towards Mary's direction .

"Why didn't you tell him that I was here the whole time?" She asked .

Zack didn't respond to her . He's debating on whether he should answer her question or not . Noticing that he's not answering her question she frowned and asked, "Why are you not answering me?"

"Because you said shut my mouth," Zack said in a low voice but it's enough for Mary to hear .

"When I asked you, you speak and I ask again, why didn't you tell him that I was here the whole time?"

"Because he looked dangerous and I think a girl like you can't handle him since you're hiding here . " Mary's mouth twitches in annoyance by what Zack just said . The way she interprets it, he must have thought that she was just a fragile one that can be easily broken .

"Is that so?" The coldness in her voice was very clear . 'Is there something that I just said wrong?' Zack said his mind .

An hour of long silence has pa.s.sed and Mary decided to leave the place . Seeing that she's about to leave Zack felt that it's not right for her to leave like that so he decided to ask her name . "Y-your name . "

"Mary . Mary Adams . " After Mary said that she left the room swiftly .

~~~

Days have pa.s.sed since the unexpected meeting with Mary . He tried to find her after he got discharged from the hospital but there was no fruit in his search . Every trace of hers is gone as if she never existed, there's even a time that Mary gave him a wrong name that's why he can't find her . Depressed that he cannot find Mary he decided to focus his attention on training if he wants to surpa.s.s his father, General Eric Fischer .

In the military compound, Zack is practicing his shooting skills when his father's right-hand man came to give him something, a package . "Young master Zack . " Zack stopped and look at the man's direction .

"What is it?"

"A package just for you . It was sent directly here . " Zack furrowed his brows in confusion . In all the places why would someone send him a package here in the military compound? He or she could've sent it to his residence house . He took the package and then opened, to his surprise he saw a gun, a gun that he's been eyeing a limited edition gun that's in the market, unfortunately, he can't get his hands on it when he came to buy it, it was too late somebody already bought the last one . But now that gun that he wanted is right in front of him!

The man who brought him the package was shocked as well, almost everyone in the compound wants to own such magnificent gun and the young master got his hands on it by free! Zack who's totally happy by the gift he received, he searched thoroughly inside the package wanting to know who send it and saw a card and it said;

'A simple gift as thanks from last time .

M . A'

The man peeked on Zack's shoulder and saw what's written in the card . "Young master, who's M . A?" Zack sat down on the ground, crossed his legs and arms and trying hard to remember if he knows anyone with an initial M . A .

Another day has pa.s.sed and he still can't think of a person who's initial is M . A . At the moment he's having breakfast with his father and his father noticed the frustration in his face he asked, "What's troubling you, Zack?" Zack looked at his father and shake his head in response lying that there's nothing troubling him . He did not believe his son but he just disregarded it and told him an important matter . "I want you to meet someone later . She will be helping you with your training . " Zack just nodded in understanding, he couldn't care less about who's that person is as long as they can help him improve .
