70 Saved by the bell

I touched the top of my ear as I felt a warm liquid run down my ear. I turned to see a burly figure from the top of the transport ship holding a pistol. He jumped down on to our ship's deck.

I looked forward to see a nice round hole on the deck floor next to me. I clicked my tongue in annoyance. Of course this asshole had to have some bodyguards. How annoying.

The large man then walked over to me with a scowl on his face. A fresh scar ran along the side of his face. The man's ebony skin shined under the sun. Johannes's bodyguards were slaves as well. Despite the fact that the man shot he missed me on purpose. I smiled at the bodyguard and said.

"What's your name?"

The African man looked at me and opened his mouth but shut it when he looked at Johannes.

"I don't have a name. Only the one that master had chosen for me. I'm still new so I do not have one yet."

I turned and smacked the side of Johannes's head. Johannes winced as he held his throbbing head.
