Chapter 1

1992, june 12

Nigel pov

Walking back into my house for the first time in i don't even know feels so weird after the president died, I felt like this wasn't what i was meant to do anymore so i dropped off the grid for some days well, weeks well months and didn't take any jobs. But it's time I get back into the groove. It was good money, yeah sometimes the people I worked for didn't really lissien but you're not getting paid to make friends, you're getting paid to protect and that's all.

I sat my bags down and went to the kitchen and made some food for myself since it was early in the morning and I was hungry. The next three hours were spent making dinner for one. It wasn't the best but it was something, it's now light outside, nice and sunny so I take a seat out back and enjoy.

Nigel: maybe i wasn't cut out for this, i crumbled when i found out jfk died i guess i just shut all my emotions off and let myself go but i have to start growing a pear cause once you're in the job there's no way out until you retire or die.

Tomas: hello Nigel

Nigel: hello tomas what's going on now

Tomas: nothing just saw you where back in town thought id drop by for a visit

Nigel: just because i've been gone for months doesn't mean i forgot the only reason you show up at my house is for a job

Tomas: i see you still have that sharp mind

Nigel: and i still see that you still think im the best since you came to me for a job, now what is it

Tomas walked in front of me as i stuffed my face full of chip

Tomas: hear me out here okay i know you said no stars in show biz and what not, but this women really needs a bodyguard shes one of the biggest stars known and is getting so famous she gotten some erotic followers, if you know what i mean.

Nigel: i get the point, but no there are other people for that like james marco

Tomas: come on nigel she begged me to get you she heard you where the best

Nigel: there's no such thing

Tomas: but you are, and james was a little too excited to be put with her

Nigel: i'm up and out if it's not real threat and i want 3,000

Tomas: oh its a threat, now you've been gone for i don't even know how long so show me what ya got. And you must be real deadly if you want 3,000 a week

Nigel: oh i am, i'll show you but you need to stand back might get hit by this greatness

Tomas pov

He pulled what i would call a shell of a man self out of the lawn chair and picked up some knifes off the ground and prepared to throw

Nigel: watch this

Throwing the knife and missing the target I laugh and look away as he mumbles to himself that he's just rusty, well he's more than rusty in the knife throwing department, but I keep my remarks to myself and watch as he prepares to throw another.

Nigel: just got to get the hang of it and the hand motion

He swung the knife forwards and backwards before it flew out of his hand towards me. I dodged it, saving my left eye.

Tomas: watch what you're doing!

Nigel: might want to move out of the way

I move over a little

Nigel: matter of fact over there just for safety

I moved over to where he was pointing, he moved his feet into place planting himself so he wouldn't go anywhere and lined up his shot then threw the knife each landing one below each other.

Nigel: see i told you i still had skill

Tomas: deadly as always i see, now do you accept the job

Nigel: didn't i already say yes

Tomas: see you tomorrow i'll forward the details to you

The next day

Nigels pov (again)

I turn the corner onto a warband to see a black van back up, up the road like it was trying to hide itself. I pulled into the main check in area which is just an old busted com that probably didn't work right. I touch the exposed wires and receive a small shock from it and go to the button. Once I press it it buzzes and someone comes on.

Person: hello

Nigel: thomas edison to see ms marron

No response i try again pressing the button once more

Nigel: max wildtail to see ms marron

Person: come on in

The gate unlocks and opens on its own and I drive in and around the huge water fountain in front of the priority and park my car right next to the diver who was washing the car. Getting out I began to look around.

Fank: hello who are you

Nigel: im nigel diggs and you

Frank: frank farmer the diver

I look down at his right arm to see its cover in badges

Nigel; so what happened to your arm

Frank: a dog happened

Nigel: well i'm sorry to hear that, but can you kindly point me in the direction to where miss maron is

Frank: oh go down this road then stop at the black door.

Nigel: thank you

I walk down the short road to the black door, I see that it's locked and has another door with a check in box, pressing the button makes a disfigured noise.

Someone: hello?

Nigel: hello this is nigel diggs to see miss maron

Someone: come in

A short black woman no more than 5 foot 6 inches tall, I walk in to see there's people standing around and dancing to what I'm guessing is her new music video. I walk around taking notes in my head on what is going to need to change for her safety, people side eye me as I slowly walk around but then I lock eyes with tomas. He waves me over to him and I walk over to him but he meets me halfway.

Tomas: i see you came

Nigel: i'm here, so where's miss maron

Tomas: emmy get over here ad might your bodyguard

Emmy: i told you i would love to have jake as my bodyguard but you just don't listen

She said as she stood up from her seat and walked over, she stopped in front of me and stared

Nigel: it's nice to meat you miss maron

Emmy: Okay first off we are all on a first man base, and also Luther should never know you're here, this can not affect his life in any way.

Nigel: okay, but more importantly there are some major security things that should be fixed or replaced
