13 She kicked him in the balls

just, what looked like was a millisecond, Caitlin replied "no". it almost felt like instead of thinking or processing her answer was purely reflex.

"what do you mean no!? don't you love me" Ian said as he started getting impatient.

"uh- I am pretty sure I don't"

Ian was now furious he threw the ring box away, he stood up, raised his hand, and flung it at her. I didn't anticipate that Ian would even slap Caitlin, by the time my body started to even move it was already too late.

but to my surprise and even Ian's and his bodyguards, Caitlin caught Ian's arm and then she kicked him in the balls with her knee. while still holding onto her crutch. Ian expressed a whole spectrum of emotions on his face, even I and the bodyguards could feel Ian's pain. that was the moment I took a mental note, not to ever mess with Caitlin and if I somehow do, at least maintain a safe distance.

Ian screamed in pain, and that was the moment when even the cops arrived. the bodyguards couldn't really do anything since the cops were already there. Caitlin and I explained to the cops the situation, but then one of the bodyguards whispered something in the cop's ear.

the cop then started pushing the whole situation as a misunderstanding. and asked us not to push any charges.

Caitlin seemed annoyed and then started yelling at the cop.

I then winked at her, signaling her to calm down and let me handle the situation.

Caitlin sighed and backed off.

I sat down on the couch. in a mafia pose. it had taken me ages to perfect that pose, sitting like a mafia leader, imposing the heavy aura of death. although it didn't really seem to be working since Ian was out cold and the cop had a gun to his side. "so what do I get from not pushing any charges?"

the bodyguard whispered something in the cop's ear again. "half a million in hundred dollar bills."

I smirked "thanks for the evidence"

I pulled out my phone which was recording everything.

the cop was terrified and pulled out his gun.

"delete that this instant or I will shoot"

Caitlin fell down from shock, at seeing a gun pointed at me.

"calm down, hear me out first, in a nuclear explosion there will be a certain radius where frozen pizza will be cooked perfectly." I seriously don't know why I did that, but hey shower thoughts. i had to do something to buy some time

"stop messing with me! delete it now!" he screamed.

then in an instant, a cop knocked him down while 3 others pointed their guns at him.

"you are under arrest Detective Connawan," said the cop pinning him down.

from the back emerged an old fat man, in a somewhat different uniform, he was probably a higher official. he walked up to me and held his hand for a handshake. I stood up and shook his hand. "Mr.key, I am Captain Kent, I was ordered by the deputy chief to help you out, I hope that you can cooperate in this investigation."

"I would be pleased to do so, also I hope that you can take Ian to a hospital first because I think if you make it late his future offspring might suffer."

Captain Kent smiled and then after sending him the security footage and the video on my phone he left.

leaving Caitlin and me in complete silence. I turned back to see Caitlin still sitting on the floor. she was still covered in sweat. I helped her get up and she sat down on the sofa and finally took a deep long breath of relief.

"I didn't think I would see a day when I would see you that flustered"

she didn't speak anything.

"Caitlin, you alright?"

she then punched me in the stomach, it barely had the strength of a kid's punch, her hands were shaking.

she was looking downwards, I could see the tears falling on her legs.

she started sniffling.

"idiot, idiot, you are just an idiot!" she said as her voice was shaking and she was still crying
