After Alex had sat back down at the table he picked up his own phone and sent a quick text to Sophia's number:<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Hey, save this number in your contacts.</span><br/>He put all of his new stuff in his wallet, his old stuff had already been taken and put in storage and he was assuming that Sophias stuff had been taken as well.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Well I draw for one. Painting is what I do mostly."</span><br/><br/>"If we have a spare room we could set up a little art studio for you if you'd like, you know, to make you feel more comfortable".<br/>His voice was gentle and caring.<br/>"I hope you know Sophia that I will protect you with every ounce of my being, I am highly trained and I am never unarmed, even as we speak now I am equipped to protect you."<br/>At that moment Alex's phone rang on the bench he picked it up and nodded,<br/>"Yes sir, I will do that shortly Sir."<br/>He hung up and slipped the phone into his pockets.<br/>"Well Sophia if you would like to come with me I have to go get a few more weapons to go around the house, I would leave you here but my mission has started already and I am not to leave you alone."<br/>He walked out the door and held it open for her as well.<br/>"After this we can probably convince someone to give us a lift to the house, I don't want to wait around here all day."<br/>He walked into the store room for weapons with Sophia by his side, he grabbed a back pack and started to load it up with ammo (lots of it), small guns, big guns, pepper spray and a few pairs of handcuffs.<br/>"If we get to the house early enough we would have enough time to go shopping. While they are paying for everything we may as well enjoy ourselves."<br/>He said this with a slight chuckle.
