Adele's pov 👙

            Las Vegas... Mike's kitchen (01:21pm)

"Alright, Davis, watch your steps" I cautioned the little boy jumping ahead of me.

"Ok, aunt Adele" he replied, but still continued jumping.

Clark and I just came back from Davis school, we went to pick him up.. I looked behind and frowned.

"Like seriously, these guys in black suits don't need to show themselves all the time!" I complained, feeling slightly upset.

Clark too a glance behind too and laughed, he shook his head.

"You can't blame them, they're just doing their job.. "

I scoffed and stepped inside the restaurant.

These guys in black suit have been following me about, anytime I stepped out with Davis.

Clark told me last night, they're guards Thanatos ordered to watch over Davis and Jasmine.

"I know they're doing their job, but they don't have to make it so obvious"

Clark chuckled.

"Thana is always overprotective of his things... who knows, he must have threatened to kill them if they don't protect his son on his absence"

I saw three of them enter the restaurant too, they sat on a table a few meters away from us.

A waiter approached them to take their orders.

"They are ordering, I guess they aren't leaving until I'm off work" I grumbled.

"Don't blame them, in fact, you're lucky my guards are shadow walkers"

I frowned at the weird name.

"Shadow walkers?"

"Yeah, they are always around but can't be seen.. they only appear when I'm in danger.. wish never happens"

Shadow walkers.. I think I prefer them to these, wait.. what should I call them? Flesh walkers? Physical walkers? Human walkers?

"Why don't Thanatos have shadow walkers too?" I asked.

My gaze moved to the guards, they are sipping their coffees and chatting among themselves.

One would think they aren't paying attention to us, but they are.. if they hear Davis cry, they'll quickly get up and scan the place vigilantly.

Alas.. it's good to be a billionaire's son!

"I'm not comfortable with these hefty men trailing behind me, he should try and get himself some shadow walkers too"

"Oh, he has a lot of them.. I'm sure his shadow walkers are also lingering around" Clark replied.

We stopped by a counter, he dropped Davis's backpack and lunchbox on it.. I pulled a stool and sat down, resting my head on the counter.

"Thana was the one who introduced shadow walkers to me"

"Then why didn't he just use them, why bring this flesh walkers.. they're annoying"

He stared at me and laughed.

"Flesh walkers?"

"Yeah.. what am I supposed to call them"

He tilted his head and thought about it briefly, then nodded his head.

"You're right.. anyways, I guess he just wanted to tighten the security"
