The ProtectoR Detonators!
“Literally, some men tried to break into the house. I just checked from the space room.” Nicholas said.“This has to be a joke,” Nathan said, jumping to his feet.“Come see for yourself,” Cayden said, leading the way up.“What space room are you guys talking about?” Cayden asked, confused, and followed hastily behind Nathan, up the stairs.Nathan pushed Nicholas away slightly as he was punching in the passcode, and used the eye scanner to open the door. “Sorry man,” He said, hastily making his way in.“Show me,” Nathan said.Cayden reached the space room and turned to a large screen which displayed the motion images recorded live by every camera outside the house.Next to it was another screen, one that displayed the live recording inside of the house.In the first screen were different sections for each camera. The screen was touch-screen so Nicholas navigated and clicked on the section that displayed their doorstep.He dragged the progress bar backwards to about three hours back a
The ProtectoR Bomb specialists!
They hurried down the stairs and then to the door.“Don’t touch anything on the walls,” Nathan said to cayden as they ran.Nicholas opened the door and hurried out.They all stood outside of the house, watching as the men got out of their van. The experts were dressed in protective gear, with their faces partially obscured by visors. They carried large black cases, which apparently contained all the equipment they would need to disarm the bombs.Nathan swung his hands in the air, waving to the men as they began approaching.“Wait there,” he shouted.The men halted abruptly, looking around for any signs of danger.Nathan and the boys marched to the men.Nathan approached the lead expert, a man with broad shoulders and a serious expression. "Good morning," he said, extending a hand. "I'm Nathan. “The expert in the middle shook Nathan's hand and introduced himself as Thomas. “Good day.We are from Mr. Swack.”“Okay, the bomb specialists, I suppose,” Nathan said. “Actually, we stopped yo
The ProtectoR The new guy
************It was a beautiful day in Galewood College, the sun was shining and the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of spring flowers.The school was buzzing with activity as students hurried from one class to another.Nathan, Cayden and Nicholas were walking down the hall to their history class.“It’s a new lecturer that’s going to be taking us history in class today,” Cayden said.“How do you know?” Nicholas asked.“Well, ..the news of a new history teacher has been on for a while so I guessed it would be her,” Cayden replied.“Her?” Nathan asked.“Yeah.. I heard the teacher is a female,” Cayden said.“Well let’s just hope she’s not as boring as the old bald dude,” Nathan said.“That’s if she is the one lecturing us today,” Nicholas added.They got to the hall and entered, trying to cause as little distraction as possible.“It’s a female,” Nathan whispered as they made their way to their usual sitting position, at the back. Luckily, no one had sat down there.“And she has a
The ProtectoR Friends to Enemies?
Nicholas left for the drinks.Nathan looked at Cayden and found that he was staring into a corner of the cafeteria. He traced his gaze to a table where Pedro, Alex and some other of his basketball teammates and friends were seated.“You should go talk to them,” Natnan said.“Yeah, I should,” Cayden said, pulling his chair backward. He got up and walked towards the table.“Hey, what’s up guys?” Cayden asked lending out his arm for a handshake to all the boys starting from Alex.“I’m good, brother,” Alex said, receiving Cayden’s palm.Cayden went on to shake all the boys up to Pedro who completely ignored his outstretched arm.“I’m alright,” Pedro said, indifferently.“You sure?” Cayden asked, curiosity and shock playing on his face.“Yeah, totally,” Pedro said.Cayden looked at him confusedly, and then reached for a seat and sat.“So what’s been happening guys?” Cayden asked, trying to develop a topic of discussion.“Nothing much,” Alex said. “We were thinking of organizing a friendly
The ProtectoR What's wrong?
Slowly, he applied the brakes as he arrived at his garage and the car jerked to a stop.“Nicholas, we’re checking the area.” Nathan said.They all alighted and Cayden walked straight into the house. Nicholas turned to Nathan as if seeking answers to Cayden’s behavior.“I’ll check the meadows, you check the windows,” Nathan said.“Woah.. that kind of rhymed. You could live off rapping whenever you’re tired of being a bodyguard you know?” Nicholas said, heading to the windows with scrutiny.He looked around all the windows on the left side of the door and then headed to the right side.“This side is clear. And be very careful with whatever you’re doing there,” Nicholas said.“I haven’t found anything, fortunately.” Nathan said.“Check complete, nothing is on any of the windows,” Nicholas said.“Aye, come look at this,” Natnan said, his voice stealthy. “Seems like I have found something.”Nicholas ran to Nathan, tiptoeing as he arrived.“That's it,” Nathan pointed to a black coil of wir

“I totally understand, but he also has to understand that this isn’t some heavenly race. If we don’t act smart, we’d all be six feet beneath the ground before we know it.” Nathan said.“I understand that this whole thing is really pissing you off. But we have to calm down and be diplomatic about it.” Cayden said. “Take for instance we eventually take that route, he can play us right into the hands of the police if we’re not careful.”“He can’t do that, not when he is into contrabands and other dirty business.” Nathan said.“But you guys wanted to send him to jail also. Cayden said. “Isn’t Rose’s dad also into this kind of business?”“Yeah.. he is. But we cleaned up all traces before going to the police.” Nathan said.“And what if he does the same? Of course he’ll know it is us who kidnapped his children or wife. He’ll simply clean up also, then go to police and file a complaint against us for kidnapping and also selling contrabands.” Cayden explained. “And when the police come looking
The ProtectoR Letha's place
“Nicholas, Cayden,” Nathan said, calling their attention.Still engrossed in their conversation, they didn’t hear him.Nathan looked around for any signs of Rose in the cafeteria then sat down.“Listen guys,” Nathan said, hitting the table to distract them.“Yo! What is it?” Nicholas asked.“I am going to Letha’s house,” Nathan said.“Okay…. safe journey.” Nicholas said shaking his head. “That’s not it, I…” Nathan was saying when Nicholas interjected.“Whatever it is, just don’t take the car.” Nicholas said.“That’s not the issue, I am not taking the car. Have you seen Rose today?” Nathan asked.“Yeah, she went out of the cafeteria some minutes before you came.” Nicholas explained.“Alright. I need you guys to cover up for me when she asks my whereabouts.” Nathan said.“Look, I’m not interested in couples’ issues.” Nicholas said, concisely.Well, he didn’t expect it to be easy to convince Nicholas to do something of such.“You guys have to help me out. It’s quite simple. Just tell he
The ProtectoR Home sweet home
He hadn’t gone much steps away from her house when his guilt revisited him, only harder this time.Nathan hailed a cab and got in, taking a seat in the back. As the cab drove him home, he couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt that had been gnawing at him since his encounter with Letha. He couldn't believe that he had let his guard down and allowed himself to make out with her, despite knowing that it was a bad idea.A voice inside of him tried to quell his guilt by telling him that he didn’t go too far but it didn’t work.The guilt that he felt was overwhelming, and he couldn't help but feel angry at himself for his lack of control. He had been so careful to avoid anything that could compromise his position in his relationship with Letha and Rose, but one moment of weakness had undone all of that. How could he have been so foolish? He didn’t know if foolish was the right word or vulnerable.As the cab sped along, Nathan's thoughts raced. He wondered what would happen if Rose found
