The Bodyguard

Chapter 1

"Sometimes, you realize too late that what you're looking for is exactly what you just let go of"
What they fail to mention is that sometimes, letting go of someone is the best thing one can do.
As a legend once said, "too much love will kill you". Until you die however, you go through hell and back. Here I am, losing the greatest thing that has happened to me as the darkness surrounds my soul on my way to my own hell.

​Chapter 1 - Interview
Lucas POV

"Lucas, for the tenth time today. You need to understand that it isn't just your life at risk here but millions of others. After yesterday's incident there's no way in hell you'll be roaming the streets like-" the chief of police started yelling but I just could not be quiet anymore.

"There was no incident yesterday! All that happened was that we suspected that we were being followed. Nothing more. Do not exaggerate the situation"

"Oh my apologies. I'm exaggerating a situation where half of the world's population could disappear!"

"No one will disappear, alright? Nothing will happen" I said praying to god that I was right.

"That's not your decision to make anymore. Now you either join the other two families and you stay at the protective custody  or you meet the requirements"

"What were your requirements now again?" I said making him sigh. I love getting this man so mad that he wants to quit his job.

"Security team that follows and protects you from a short range as well as the current long range service you have now"

"So you just want me to hire bodyguards?"

"I want you to hire bodyguards and stop trying to beat our current security team"

"I'm not beating anything" I said trying to play it off.

"Bruno, if I get one more call from the team leaders saying they don't have their eyes on you due to some stupid movement of yours that you decided not to report to us, I'm gonna throw you in jail"

"Is that a threat?" I asked raising a brow & dropping the jokes & dumb attitude.

"You're goddamn right it is" Walker said before turning around and heading to the door.

"Fine" I spat knowing he wasn't playing around anymore. He had his serious Walker face.
"I'll hire fucking bodyguards"

"And you'll stop being an asshole to the current security team" he said turning around to face me.

"And that" I said, sighing.
"One condition though"

"What?" He sighed.

"I get to pick them"

"Fine. We will get you a list of candidates who we think are fit-" he started but I cut him off again.
It was so amusing to piss him off, I'm not even going to deny it.

"Yeah yeah yeah, I'll get them ready anyways"

"Get them ready?" He asked confused and inside my mind I was smirking at what a genius I am.
