Me And My Bodyguard

CHAPTER 5

                            I was in the gym with the others, I heard rumours that Flint got fired by his 'crazy' client, that's what they called her. I don't know why. Of course, it's a girl. Many of my friends have got fired by her. But her father is known as the richest in the Brooklyn and one of a friend with the chief, Santiago North. That's what I heard. I saw Flint comes into our gym, he looks very mad? He didn't even greet us like he used to. Harry glanced at him as he stood up, "Hey, Flint. You back early," Asked Harry with a silly grin.

Flint looked at Harry with an offended look then he sighed. "You’re right. I shouldn't be her bodyguard. She's crazy." Flint implies. “Was she really that 'crazy'?" I spoke curiously, put down the dumbbell. They turned their attention to me, "You have no idea, Jake. You still don’t have a client yet?" Asked Flint. I shook my head and wiped off the sweat on my face with the cloth.

"Good. We will be having fun this night, drinks on me!" Flint cheered. I shook my head again, "Nope, I'm lazy for this night." I said, walked away from them to my locker. I know, that he will be drunk and make a mess in the club. "Boring. Harold?" Flint smirked.

"Nope, I had to go, Brooklyn, tonight." Harry walked away from him. "You're all boring!" Flint shouted makes me laughs. After I freshen up, I went to my desk then Ned called me to the chief’s office. I obeyed and walked into his room. Mr North was like my father figure to me since he took me after my folks died in the car accident which I involved too from 15 years ago. He met me when I was in a coma in the hospital.

I pull the door open after I knocked, I saw Mr North smiled at me with a man sitting on the cosy chair, he looks privileged. "Jake, this is Mr Thomas Edgar Delaire from Brooklyn. He’s going to hire you as his daughter’s bodyguard," Mr North declared, “Edgar, Meet Aeolus Jake Winters, he’s our newbie to this field but he can handle it,” Mr Delaire stood up and held out his hand as I shake his hand slowly.

"Unique name, I see. Boy, your hand is cold as ice." He stated. I smiled awkwardly and let go of his hand. There is one thing that I have a big huge ass secret that everyone never knows about me except Mr North and Harry. I have powers, it was called Cryokinesis also Aeroportation. I have them when I woke up from the coma. I barely use them but try to conceal it.

Mr North grasped that man's shoulder. "Shall we sign the paper," Asked Mr North, glancing at me makes me wondered. After then, Mr Delaire has signed the paper, discussed the contract and all, he grasped my shoulder to catch my attention. "I'm counting on you that you will be changing my daughter into good, I trust you," Said that man with a genuine smile and I could only respond by nodding as he walked out from Mr North office. What does he mean? Change her daughter into good?

"He always said that to his daughter's bodyguard before. But he didn't say he trusted on them except you." Mr North explained. I looked at him, speechless. I didn't know what to say. I started to think, was his daughter that bad? Why I’m thinking it was a girl who has fired Flint?
