“What do you mean I stopped a car?” She asked nervously, knowing exactly what he meant.
“What do you mean I stopped a car?” She asked nervously, knowing exactly what he meant.
“I’m not sure how but you literally stopped a car. To save a child. When I came down to make sure you and the child where alright you were gone.”
“Oh that, well um, you see.” Struggling to find an excuse, she gave up. “Can you keep a secret?”
“What kind of secret are we talking about here?” He said leaning forward on his elbow and touching his finger tips together.
“One that can get me in a lot of trouble if you tell.” She said copying his motion. “So can you keep a secret?”
“Alright. I can keep a secret.” He said, leaning back in his chair.
“Anyone would say that, how do I know that I can really trust you?” She stayed serious yet had a small smile on her face.
“Who would I tell? I have no real friends. No family besides my 8 year old niece. I’ve got a lot to lose with this business and if your secrecy could potentially hurt if I’d loose almost everything I’ve got.” He said, very seriously.
“In my family there is this curse where the first born is really strong, like the power of a hundred men strong. If I use my power with any bad intensions I will lose my strength.” She sat back in her chair relieved to get that off her chest. “I'm flattered to be your body guard but what made you think I was a good fit before I told you this? Looking at me people won’t take me seriously..”
“Well first of all I saw you stop a car. And second of all who would suspect it. I mean you aid yourself people wouldn’t take that seriously just looking at you. Your a perfect fit”
“So if I understand this right, you’re say I’m like an undercover bodyguard? I’ll be with you but it’ll look like we’re just friends.”
“More or less. You can possibly still be a part time writer too. But I’ll have a look at your work before we make any big decisions”
"When can I start?" She jumped up out of excitement.
“Right now?” He said, calmly. Of course we will have to move a few things around but that office right there” he said pointing a finger to his left, which happened to have a door connecting the two. “Is open and you can set yourself up in there”. He grinned at her and sat back up straight.
"I get my own office?" She said jumping up and down. "Is there any special requirements? I mean can I wear skirts and dresses?" She says motioning down to what shes wearing." Or can I do whatever as long as I protect you?"
“Pretty much. But I’d recommend making sure you have shorts on underneath just in case.” He said chuckling. “But yes you get your own office, everyone needs their own space. And the point is to hide you and make it seem as though you’re not there. And if you get a position as a part time writer you’ll need a place to write and keep your things anyway.”
"Who am I to even consider leaving the house with out shorts on under my skirt." Mina says lifting up her skirt just enough to show her shorts. "Who will the people working here think I do? Like a secretary or something, but I'm assuming you have one."
“They won’t know a thing. Everyone except Candy will probably ignore you unless you speak to them directly. They do that to each other and you’ll just seem like another one of them with a fancy office instead of a cubical.” He said.
they'll probably think I’m doing her so she got a big promotion. But she doesn’t have to know that he thought.
"So what exactly do I do right now? I mean like I protect you and all but not in your own building. Plus I don't have that writing job and I have nothing with me." She threw up her hands so show that they were empty. Maybe I could explore the building if there is nothing to do. I would need to learn my work place in order to fully protect him.
“Well we can get you set up in your office. Or I can give you a tour. Or we can have Candy get you set up for the computer, a whole password and work email and the like” He said. “Which ever you’d like to do”
"I'd like to explore, but I like the idea of getting set up on the computer."
“Well which is it sweetheart?”
"How about I get on the computer, then I'll explore."
“Okay. Cants down at her desk, I’ll call her to have her start setting up a password.” He said reaching for the phone.
