"I'd like to" Christian nodded, as Eva frowned.
"Follow me please" Nodded the woman "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Leslie Parker, but you can call me #1."
The woman is a tall woman in her 30's, she is about 5'6", her hair is dark and short to her shoulders, while on her face there was something that caught Christian's attention quite a bit.
Leslie had a patched right eye, while her left eye showed a beautiful light blue eye.
She wore the same outfit as the other women, but she had a special air about her in Christian's eyes, an air of leadership.
But that's not the only thing that caught the boy's attention, but the woman had thick legs and a toned butt that was quite accentuated by her tight suit, something that caused Christian to steal a glance or two thanks to his rising testosterone.
"Why #1?" asked Eva.
"Because we go by numbers in our team, lots of code names to learn makes things difficult, it's easier that way."
"So all the women will be numbers?"
"Yes" Reaching to one side of the boxes, Leslie directs the other women to open them.
With the boxes open, Christian manages to see weapons of all calibers, from pistols, to what appears to be submachine guns.
"As you can see, we have Beretta 92/M9 pistols as an outdoor weapon, while on the property we will use M16 and M4 Carbine, we also have 4 M110 Semi-Automatic snipers, but the standard weapon will be HK-MP5"
"Wow" Eva murmured, looking with shining eyes at all the weapons in the boxes.
"Is it legal to use these weapons?"
"In your home yes, that's what we sign permits for with the lawyers" Leslie replied, then walking over to a box and pulling out the 6 black colored bulletproof vests, along with 6 helmets of the same color "These beauties are gifts, they will withstand a rifle bullet at point blank range, but high powered snipers will go through them like paper, so don't be confident"
Walking over to the vests, Christian picks one up and raises his eyebrows "They're pretty heavy."
"Actually they weigh almost nothing compared to our suit."
"Your suit is special?" with curiosity, Christian approached the woman and looked at her carefully.
"Yes, they're bulletproof suits"
"Do these things really exist!? I thought they were just movie crap!" Eva exclaimed in amazement.
"They're pretty expensive, but they're worth it" Leslie nodded, then turned to the women still standing and shouted "Spread out, we've already talked about your positions, the ones that are free grab the stuff and take them to our place. #56 and 59, move the vehicles to the garage. #70, make sure everything is put away and then give the truck the start, #62 and #63 stay with me, move!"
As if his words were a command from heaven, the women grabbed different weapons and began to quickly position themselves around different parts of the house, including the backyard, while at least 13 women grabbed large backpacks from the truck and began to carry them towards the house next door.
"Okay, I'll help you get the gear to your home" Grabbing the vests, Leslie directs one woman to grab the helmets and another to grab a small green box, then looking at Christian and speaking "Can we come in?"
"Obvious" Looking at his mother, Christian took her hand and they walked to the living room, then sat down and nodded towards Leslie.
Sitting down, Leslie set the vests aside and motioned for them to leave the helmets along with the box, then shooed the 2 women out of the house.
Looking at Christian seriously, Leslie speaks "I'll explain the chain of command, I'm #1, who leads all personnel, then there's #2 and so it goes. If for some reason I end up injured or dead, #2 will take my place, understood?"
"Simple, but I'd like to meet all the women and their numbers."
"Sure, that will be later, for now I have something vital to ask you."
Noting the woman's serious face, Christian nodded "Question."
"I need to know if you have any conflicts with anyone or anything that made you hire so much security, because in my entire life, I've only seen 3 cases where they hired so many people, and none of them were for just having security"
Frowning, Christian spoke "How much can you be trusted?"
"We all signed a confidentiality contract, we are strictly forbidden to talk about everything that happens in our work with clients, even our superiors can't overlook that rule... I personally respect that."
Feeling no lies in the woman's words, Christian leans back on the sofa and looks up at the ceiling "I'm going to sink 182 people, among them we have governors, mayors, actors, singers, policemen, FBI agents, prosecutors, former presidents, princesses from other countries, foreign politicians, rich people, including 4 senators, in general it's a lot of people linked together."
Raising her eyebrows, Leslie asked incredulously "Are you kidding?"
"I'm not kidding" Looking sideways at the woman, Christian continued "I discovered a child sex trafficking network among the elite of this country, I have proof and in a few days I will show everything to the media, social networks and many copies to all the journalists I consider clean, also I plan to send the evidence to all the police centers in this city and those in other states, these bastards will not be able to shut me up"
"Well... you sure are in deep shit" Leslie muttered, processing everything for a while, Leslie looked at the boy and asked solemnly "Does anyone know you know this?"
"No one, that's why I had time to prepare, I have 250 pendrives with copies, I have to leave 200 in the mail to send to as many police and FBI centers as I can, the other 50 will be for all the reporters in attendance."
"..." Nodding, Leslie looked at the boy for a few seconds, then sighed and spoke "I really don't think they will attack you after that, all eyes will be on you, even the president's, they won't have the guts to do it, because if they find out that they attack the boy who brought all these crimes to light, there will be an uproar all over the country"
"I thought of that too, but I want to prevent any situation."
Nodding, Leslie spoke "It's the wisest thing to do, because they can attack you and disguise your suicide or something similar, it's a typical thing with these people."
"..."
"But let me tell you something as Leslie Parker and not as your security" With a sincere look, Leslie spoke "I thank you for doing all this... you don't know the amount of things I have witnessed protecting rich scum, and since I am under oath of silence, I can't talk... everything you do gives me tremendous relief inside me, I really thank you, even though you are a child, you have more courage than all of us... more courage than me"
Turning to Eva, Leslie spoke "You have a great son ma'am, don't worry, if I have to take a bullet for him, I'll do it no problem."
"Thank you" Eva smiled heartily "This boy tends to get into a lot of trouble, so bear with him"
"I'll be his shadow" Smiled Leslie slightly, then took the green box and opened it, showing 7 Beretta 92/M9 pistols "These pistols are for the VIPS, even if they don't know how to use them, it's much better that they have something to defend themselves if the worst happens, they are leased by our service"
Frowning, Eva spoke "My children won't handle guns."
"And I understand you, but you can keep them yourself and use them if the time comes, do you know how to use a gun?"
"..." Biting her lips, Eva picks up a gun and looks it over carefully "I have the basic knowledge"
"That will do" Leslie nodded, then puts a hand to her ear and speaks "#1 speaking, no one other than VIPS enters or leaves the home unchecked"
"M-mom..." But as Eve was still dazed with the gun, a timid and frightened voice came from the distance, causing everyone to turn their gaze, finding something that made Christian's mind boggle for a few moments.
But he quickly pulled himself together and laughed loudly "Hahahahaha~!"
"Hailie... w-what did you do with y-your hair" With trembling hands, Eva put the gun down on the table and got up from the couch, quickly coming to the side of the frightened girl.
"Hahahahahaha~" Christian continued to laugh, as tears streamed down his face.
"*I just saw that t-thing that makes noise and w-wanted to cut my h-hair" Explained Hailie nervously.
"But Hailie..." Staring at the girl's half bald head, Eva didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the situation.
Hailie's hair was totally messed up, she had a long bald line in the middle of her head, while, on the right side above her ear, she had a small hairless square, showing that the girl realized what she was doing and didn't go on anymore.
"D-do I look o-okay?" asked Hailie nervously.
"Hahaha~" Without bearing the sight, Christian lay down on the couch and laughed loudly, even running out of air in the process.
Leslie was looking at everything with a poker face, but you could still see the edge of her lips trembling slightly.
"Hahaha~ By the goddess, I can't believe it Hahaha~" Laughing, Christian stood up and grabbed his cell phone, quickly taking out several pictures of the teary-eyed girl.
"Christian..." With an aggrieved expression, Hailie held back her tears "I look b-bad?"
Wiping away his tears, Christian looks at his sister with a smile and reaches over, then caresses her face and smiles "No matter your hair, you'll always be the prettiest girl."
"D-doesn't it really look bad?"
"Not at all, it just looks fun"
"B-but isn't it the same?"
"No, if it looks bad, you'll feel disgusted, but if it looks funny, it'll just make you laugh, it's very different."
"W-well" Hailie nodded hesitantly, then turned to Eva "M-mom...what do I do?"
"We'll have to shave you completely..." Eva murmured with a bitter expression "You'll be bald..."
"Bald..." Hailie muttered, touching her head in a daze "Bald!?"
...
Monday, December 19, 2011.
"When is the kid supposed to arrive?" frowning, a woman with a microphone in her hand asked impatiently.
"He summoned us all at 8 a.m. at this place...he should arrive at..." Looking at her watch, a woman with a large camera in her hands spoke "5 minutes."
"I don't understand why so many people would come just to see a kid...I also don't understand why he made us gather in a damn parking lot" Looking around, the reporter could see between 40 to 50 people, not counting that most of them were with cameras, while some were with voice recorders and notebooks in their hands "BCC, ABC, CBS, Good Morning America, and us CNN.... I see people from The New York Times, damn even Fox people are there...I also see foreign reporters...how the hell could this kid bring so many people?"
"He has a lot of prestige to his name, Christian Grey, the first kid to become a billionaire in the whole world, mathematical genius, writer of over 20 books and all Best-Sellers, winner of world mathematics awards, even his readers are rooting for him to be awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. .. he has never accepted an interview before other than the one he did when he introduced himself, it is a surprise that he now schedules one, even more so with his supposed message that will move all of America... oh yes, he is also a good singer, I really liked him when I heard him sing on YouTube."
"..." Looking at her camerawoman with a deadpan expression, the woman asked "Is this a joke?"
"Not at all, you didn't know about him?"
"No..."
"You should research who you're going to interview first" Rolling her eyes, the camerawoman looked to her side, finding to her surprise as 5 large black vans parked to the side of the parking lot "Hey.... look at that."
Turning her gaze, the reporter watches in surprise as dozens of women in suits get out and run into the parking lot, while a group of women carry a conference table between their hands and place it in front of everyone.
"What the fuck is this" muttered the reporter, looking at everything with her eyes wide open, realizing that, from one moment to the next they were surrounded.
But while she was looking at the cars, she sees how a boy comes out of the place and looks at the reporters coldly, and then walks under the escort of 2 women and gets on the podium.
Stretching out his hand, the boy receives a microphone and smiles "Good morning everyone, I'm Christian Grey".
