Leonard's POV

I passed through security that is tighter probably tighter than the one offered to the president, I spent an hour being checked before I was allowed in. I am going to be a guard to a kid and they can't trust me, why would they need me if they have this kind of security "If you would follow me" one of the guys who has been searching me like my body had ticks. Taking off my clothes, searching every single part of my body, yes as I said their security is tight.

I don't come with anything except for the clothes I have and the phone, I didn't get time to pick my daughter's photo. I wasn't given time to take anything because this was an emergency, as if I care I was framed now look where I am though my daughter and wife don't live far away from here and I can see them on my day off even though I haven't let them know where I am, they still think I am in military and I would want it to stay like that.

The man opened the door and I entered, he closed it then resumed leading me inside the house or should I say mansion. I admire having money like this but I don't admire the houses rich people buy, this house no matter how homey it feels, it still feels like a problem more than a comfort space. A moderate house is good enough, I don't know about others but in my opinion mansions make your problems bigger than they should be "The boss will arrive soon"

I nodded getting into the office as the guy closed the door leaving me in the office alone. I looked around with my eyes but I didn't dare move from my position, the office smells like an old room yet it looks new, new furniture, painting with files laid neatly on the side except for one file that has my picture on it, so they did get some research on me. I moved my eyes to the stack of books arranged in order- the door opened "Leonard Wheeler has finally graced us with his presence" he said in a sacarstic tone and I know he is all about my tardiness.

"It won't happen again sir"

"You were supposed to be here three hours ago" he took a seat in his seat staring at my file, I needed time to think about the changes happening in my life get over it old man "Do you know that in those hours my son was attacked and he was almost killed" I apologized again "It is a bad impression you have just given me and I can call the general to take you back so that you can serve your sentence in jail for life"

I made sure to not make a reaction on my face, being a bodyguard might be bad but jail is worse though I don't think what I did deserves life in prison and I was saving the general's friend "Yes sir" I accepted with a nod, I can't show him I don't want to go to prison. It is bad showing your weaknesses and since I am getting a bad vibe off of him, I might want to keep to myself, he is wearing a black robe with no shirt inside showing his hairy chest 'Talk about bad first impression' I am relieved I am not protecting him, we would definitely not get along and I will find myself putting a bullet in to his head myself.

A knock sounded on the door and the grey haired man told whoever it was to come in, I didn't look back keeping my posture at ease with my hands behind my back "What are you doing here?" I didn't know who the question was directed to but I felt a glare on me so I turned my head to find the kid from earlier.

"How do you know him." The grey haired man questioned and I turned my head from the kid to the old man. I should be calling him Mr. Harris but I already hate him and my thoughts are mine alone and they will keep calling him old man.

"He is the dummy who almost killed me" My eyes widened at the kids words, did we both view different stories about what happened earlier, I think I saved his life or did he want to live with those guys so was I saving him or was I taking him from the guys he wanted to go with 'no wonder he was ungrateful when I saved him' looking back at the old man he was angry glaring at me, if this kid doesn't correct himself I will find myself in jail or six feet under ground at the look the old man is sending my way "He killed those guys that were trying to kidnap me but then I got an asthma attack' and he didn't want to get me my inhaler"
