4 Bodyguard?

In the darkness of a moonless night, a certain part of the city was dyed red in blood. In a house littered with bodies of women and children, a photograph was dipped in the blood.

The photo depicted a happy family of a man, woman and two children, but now the man, woman and the son were lying dead near each other while the girl's body was in even more miserable condition. The man in the photo was the same man who was on the ferris wheel in a gray suit, who also called someone to inform about Shivani.

Next Morning,

Three black SUVs came in front of the house and Wook came out from one of them.

As Wook and the men with him started searching the neighborhood, they found that it was eerily vacant. No sign of any person was seen and all the doors in the neighborhood were locked.

When they broke the lock of one of the houses and went inside, they found that everything seemed normal. There were no dead bodies, no blood, all the furniture was alright and overall, it seemed as if all of the people in the house have gone on a vacation.

Wook immediately called Albert

"Sir, I think they were already hit last night. We can't find anything here."

"Come back. We already know who was behind this. We just need some evidence."

"Yes Sir!"

Wook immediately ordered a sweep of the area and after confirming that there was no evidence in the vicinity, they left.

Keanu was sweating at the terrace of his apartment building from the early morning exercise and after doing some stretching, returned to his apartment.

He opened the refrigerator and put a glass on top as he started to take out eggs and one by one started to break them and filled the glass with the egg yolk.

He used his finger to mix all the egg yolk with the egg white after which he gulped all of it down in one breath. He wiped his lips with his hands, and went straight into the bathroom after which he started to take a shower.

While taking the shower, he looked at the scar on his chest which was just above his heart and touched it while he got lost in his thoughts.

*Trriing*

The sound of the alarm clock woke him up from his stupor as he immediately dried himself with a towel and wore a black suit for the job he was going to apply today.

He gelled his hair and was looking very decent as he gave a nod to himself while looking in the mirror and exited his apartment building.

Keanu took a taxi from his apartment and enjoyed the view of the city which seemed very peaceful from the outside and before long, he was outside a huge building.

"Well, Here we are." Said Keanu as he sized up the building from top to bottom and then entered with a smile.

"Uhm Excuse me, I'd like to meet your boss" Said Keanu to the receptionist who was busy on a phone call.

"Oh, Do you have an appointment with Mr. Noble?" Enquired the secretary in a surprised tone.

"No I don't have an appointment but I do have this letter." replied Keanu with an embarrassed face as he took out a sealed envelope which was addressed to "Albert Noble".

"Sir I'm sorry but since you don't have an appointment, you'll have to wait for sometime. Why don't you go and sit over there and as soon as Sir Noble is free, we will inform you. You can also tell me your business and I will relay this to his secretary so she can make the process quicker."

"Oh It's fine. I guess I'll just wait here."

Keanu went towards a sofa which was not far from the reception desk and while waiting, he saw that a guy who was almost of his age was glaring at him as if he'd eat him alive.

Actually Keanu was looking very attractive in the black suit and gelled hair and the lady sitting with the guy was checking Keanu out which obviously made him jealous.

"Hmpf! Naive bumpkins think that they can get a job based on what they wear. What's more they come directly to meet the Boss."

Keanu ignored his slurs as he knew that the guy had to say something to calm his jealousy and moreover he didn't wanted to get into trouble in this city, not after yesterday's event.

"Mr. Joseph, the Manager will see you now."

Said a lady in a formal office clothing after which the guy who was with the girl stood up and followed the lady while fixing his tie.

Soon after the Joseph guy went, another lady came

"Mr. Keanu, please follow me."

Keanu got up and started to follow the lady as she started giving him some instructions

"Remember Sir, Boss can only give you his five minutes. Please be concise and to the point."

The secretary opened the door and Keanu went in.

As Keanu took another step, he saw who the boss was and went 'Shit!'.

Albert was talking with Wook about something when he noticed Keanu coming in and said

"Yes Kid? I believe you wanted to meet me? What is this about?"

Asked Noble with a very warm and accommodating tone.

"Uhh Yes Sir….I have this letter, If you would be so kind to read it." replied Keanu with a smile as he handed out the envelope.

Noble took the envelope and tore open the seal as he took out a letter within it and started reading it.

After reading the entire letter, Noble stood up from his seat and started walking towards Keanu.

'This is some fine pickle I have managed to get myself into' thought Keanu as everything that happened yesterday was running in front of his eyes like a movie while he was trying to keep his cool.

"So what's your name?" Asked Noble after arriving in front of Keanu.

"Keanu Smith, Sir"

"hmm...So you are here for the job of a bodyguard. Are you sure you can manage being my bodyguard?"

"Yes Sir!"

"What are you trained in?"

"Krav Maga, Sir"

"Krav maga, eh? Wook, let's see how this young blood can contend against us." Said Albert with a smile as he started walking towards the door which was soon followed by Wook, who put his hands on Keanu's shoulder and started following Albert.

As the trio was walking out of the office, many people noticed Albert talking continuously with Keanu about random things as if he found his long lost friend.

"Diana, Cancel all my appointments for the day." Instructed Albert to his secretary as he kept moving forward.

Within few minutes, they arrived at a huge hall which was filled with boxing arena, wrestling cages, training equipments, etc and many people, both men and women were training and sparring with each other.

After arriving at an area with padded flooring, Keanu noticed Joseph who was cursing him in the morning, getting beaten miserably by a man in MMA uniform.

As everyone noticed Albert, all the activity in the hall came to a halt and everyone bowed at him.

"Victor, Assess him too." Said Albert towards the man who beat Joseph.

"Sure Sir! It'll be my honor"

Everyone was confused as to who this young man was and why Albert himself came down to get him assessed.

"You want a uniform?"

Asked Victor as he noticed that Keanu was in a suit which was quite difficult to fight in.

"No Thanks, I am fine." Replied Keanu.

"Where is father?" Asked a girl towards Noble's secretary

"Greetings Young Miss! Sir Noble just went towards the training Hall" replied the secretary immediately.

The girl turned around, who was obviously Shivani and started moving towards the training hall where Albert was currently in.
