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
The ProtectoR A new friend.
“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
The ProtectoR Unread messages
They sat in silence, apparently taking all Nicholas had said in, waiting for anyone to contribute or oppose.“It’s a good plan,” Nathan said. “Only that I just hope that this big plan we are coming up with will be able to end this dude once and for all.”“Once we’re able to set the whole plan rolling I’m sure the one for the grand finale would come only naturally.” Nicholas said. He seemed very excited and pumped up, unusually.Nathan was adding up all the pieces of the idea together, trying to figure where they should start from and how to go about it.And , when issues like this arose, they had only one man to run to for anything they needed to set their plan rolling.“We are going to be needing Mr. Swack’s assistance on this one,”Nathan said.“Definitely, his spies,” Nicholas added.“He has got spies?” Cayden asked.“He can get his hands on almost anything or anyone. That’s power.” Nicholas said.“We’ll need his spies to get us some real privy information on Mr. Khosrow’s family.
The ProtectoR Grassy fields
Nathan marched out of the library, his heart pounding against his chest. He was beyond angry, and he couldn't wait to confront Letha.As he walked out, he bumped into Nicholas and Cayden walking in. Apparently, they were looking for him but he just walked past them, almost hitting them, without even acknowledging their presence.“Did he not see us?” Cayden asked, after making way for angry Nathan to walk by. He stormed into the cafeteria and scanned the room for Letha. It didn't take him long to spot her sitting in the middle of a group of friends. He marched towards her and asked her to step outside so they could talk. “We need to talk, now!” Nathan said.“Hey what’s up?” Letha asked. “ Why not have a seat?”“We need to talk outside.” Nathan said, making himself sternly clear.She stood up, and he grabbed her arm tightly, pulling her towards the door.“Nathan, you’re hurting my arm,” Letha complained as they walked, trying to break free from his grip.“That should be the least of y
The ProtectoR Hey ho
Cayden clutched his hand and pulled himself upward. “Finally,” He said, with an extended smile.“So how is it going to be? Are we calling Nicholas?” Cayden asked.Nathan you thought for a while, searching his pockets to see if he was with the keys.“I would have suggested we should leave him to drive home and board a cab but I’m with the keys,” Nathan said, holding out the keys.“So we call him,” Cayden said.“Yeah, we have to,” Nathan said.“Should I call him or you will?” Cayden asked.“Let me call him myself,” Nathan said.He reached for his phone in his pocket and scrolled through his contact list, dialing Nicholas.The phone rang for a while before Nicholas picked up.“What’s up?” Nicholas asked, withought any obstruction, like he had been waiting all day for the call to come in.“We’re about leaving, we're about leaving. Where are you?” Nathan asked.“I’m at Galewoods college,” Nicholas said, sarcastically. “Well I’m not ready to leave now, I’ve got something doing.” Nicholas sa
