"Is this the Quart Bodyguard Services?" Robert asked without hesitation after getting connected on the phone.
"Good morning sir. This is the official phone of Quart Bodyguard Service QBS. How may I help you?" a female operator voice expressed clearly.
"That's good. I'm in dire need of a bodyguard. I need it as fast as now. I need it yesterday" he couldn't articulate himself anymore. His anxiety had taken over him.
"We will make sure your request is handled with immediate effect. I will also like to let you know that the process may take two to three working days. You will send us a details of your desired bodyguard to provide you with the best of your choice" the voice prompted. Robert squeezed his face. That wasn't helpful.
"Three working days? I don't have seventy hours. Let me break it down to you. My life is on the line. I could die if I do not get a protector by the end of today. If there is anything, you can do like connecting me with your boss. And
"Your mind is not here" Raymond tapped Grace. He had been noticing since they started dancing. She wasn't even dancing. All she did was circling a spot with fake short lived smiles that faded instantly."I can't hear you" she screamed putting her hand to her ear. That was obviously a lie. Raymond knew he heard him well. She just wanted to use the loud music as an excuse and avoid the message.Raymond grabbed him roughly and held him close to his body."Oh What!" she screamed in surprise."We are here because of you. What is the essence if you yourself is only in body and not in mind. You can't catch fun like that. You understand?" he let go of her but his gaze remained fixed on her. He was waiting for a reaction or response."It's okay. It's nothing. I just need a little time to let the party sink in to my brain, mind actually" she pointed her finger to the floor illustrating the sinking in. She had another fake smile. One of those sh
These rich men were funny. He had believed he would find his way out of this by negotiating. It was possible if the people involved had money as their motive.There was another problem. Grace zombie couldn't talk. He hadn't know that yet."First let me introduce my new bodyguard to you. Mr. Tau. That's all we have about him. I'm sorry about his obscenity. I couldn't get him to wear a shirt. I tried a lot. Let's just say I have a luck of getting bodyguards that I can't control. You will be happy to know he is the brain behind this meeting" Robert said with a lot of smiles. He stopped for Grace input.So the shirtless guy was a bodyguard. No wonder he had gotten a lot of muscles. He didn't even look in Grace's direction. He pretended there was no one with them.Grace noticed Robert waiting for her to say something. She touched her wrist with her finger. It seemed Robert didn't understand what she meant. She pointed to the wall cl
Grace came back to her mother's grave in the morning. She put down the flower she brought."Mom, I have executed the first page of your list. Robert Ford had paid all those you wanted him to pay. I guess he is going to run bankrupt but I don't care. All I care about is carrying out your mission" she sobbed and brought out a handkerchief from her purse to wipe her tears."There's a name that should be in there that I think it's not there. I will make sure I find this name and add it to the list. I promise. Rest in peace, mom" she blew a kiss to her headstone and smiled.She turned swiftly and walked out of the cemetery. Raymond was standing by the car. She walked over to him and went into the car. The sadness showed clearly on her face."That's a long time to drop a bouquet of flowers" Raymond joined her in the car. He focused on her instead of starting the car."Have you been crying again" he attempted to wioe the tears in her eyes bu
"You raped Juliet, a fourteen year old girl and threatened her family you will kill them if they dare tell anyone about it" Grace said as Mr. Winter came into his office.He was stunned to see Grace comfortably seated."Can you give me a minute, please?" Mr. Winter whispered to a young lady that came with him into the office. It seemed the lady was his secretary that had come with him for a brief."Yes sir" the lady bowed slightly and went back outside. Mr. Winter moved closer to Grace."Who are you?" he asked her in a low but threatening voice. He stand in front of her, with his arms akimbo."Let's just cut to the chase and skip the introduction part" she waved at him to sit down. Mr. Winter was still in amazement. She smiled at him."How did you come in here in the first place?" he was still baffled by her unexpected presence and her confidence."I can go in anywhere, whenever I want" she turned her view
Mayor Mount was seated in his living room. He checked the time and scoffed. The show had already started. He grabbed his TV remote and changed the channel on the TV."If you are just joining us,it's me,it's us. Voice of Newland and I am still your anchor guiding you through the course of the program as always" Tony introduced the program on TV."Great, I'm just joining you. So let's hear what you have for us today, Tony" Mayor Mount sipped a drink from an exotic cup in his hand inside his living room."Mr. Cole, the hottest issue in our city right now is the tales of the new city hunter that has meted out judgement on two of the great people considered as the pillars of Newland" Tony was talking to his guest on the show, Mr. Cole."That's quite a name, City Hunter. I hope it's not who I am thinking" Mayor Mount muttered to himself."Hmmm. The city hunter" Mr. Cole scoffed and chuckled. "Her first mission, it was against
The emcee climbed on to the podium. He clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention."We welcome you all to our fundraising event. As we await the arrival of our Chairman, Mr. Slade, who is surely on his way right now. I want all of us to enjoy ourselves" he said as soon as he caught the attention of everyone.Grace turned around to see who had just walked up behind her. It was Mayor Mount with a hard face."Mayor" she said surprisingly. She didn't expect to see him. But this is a party for influential people. She should have expected him."I didn't see Raymond around, you two seemed not so close anymore. Did you leave him at home because today is another day the city hunter wish to strike or you have him ingested some sleeping potion" Mayor Mount meant a lot with what he had just said. It was very clear to Grace but she didn't want to acknowledge that.Luckily, Raymond appeared from the midst of the crowd behind Mayor Mount.
Raymond came down from upstairs. Grace was in the living room. She was watching TV. Raymond sat down beside her."I saw the way the Mayor stared at you at the fundraising, that wasn't a pleasant face. What happened between you two?" he asked to initiate a conversation."Nothing ensued between us. You were there" she flashed her eyebrows. Raymond was not there the whole time and she knew that, she was just lying."You know the way you lie these days makes me afraid of you" Raymond said slowly. That was something that was causing great pain in him."The way I lie?" Grace asked and bursted out laughing. That wasn't a joke, of course. It wasn't even funny. Raymond couldn't understand her anymore."If there is a problem between both of you, it will be in your best interest to loop me in" he said slowly again. He was indeed sad. This was how it usually started when a relationship would fall apart. Grace didn't even care anymore about that."I'm so
Mr. Slade walked through the restaurant. He didn't bother to answer anyone that greeted him as he passed by. He went into the kitchen and made his way to a hidden office.This was the office of the Letties. The restaurant was just a front. They were a bad group of lady criminals and Mr. Slade answered to them. They were his bosses."I see you are now dining with the Mayor. You have soared beyond my expectations" a female voice said from behind him.Mr Slade was stunned. He turned quickly to meet Annie, one of the Letties."We have a problem on our hands. The secret is in the open" Mr. Slade let out quickly."Point of correction. You, you have a problem on your hands" Annie pointed to him. She walked over to a table and sat down placing one leg over the other. She obviously didn't take him serious and that was a little shocking for Mr. Slade."Have you been visited by the city hunter or huntress, I heard she is a woman. An ordin
