POV Richard Redwood (Client)

I just want my daughter to be safe.

She's only 17 almost 18 and I'm worried about her having all this attention on her. The only reasonable thing to do is well, hire someone to protect her.

I am often busy at work and I feel bad that I hardly spend enough time with my daughter. She lost her mother at a young age but Im glad she's at least found some comfort in music, mostly comfort in creating music. I just worry about her sometimes. She's friendly and maybe even a little... too friendly. That's why Im hiring bodyguard- to make sure that her and her band-mates stay out of trouble, especially while they're on their tour through America.

My friends (also rich people)  introduced me to the wonders of.. the 'dark web' mostly, the 'black market' after I asked about hiring someone for... well, I'll be frank, an assassination. The old bodyguards were simply terrible at their job and let a creep get to my beloved daughter. I had the creep as well as the body guards killed for what the did.

I didn't let the hitman know who I was. I simply paid them and let them do what they do best. The assassin went by "O".
O did such a wonderful job. Even in the face of 2 trained and full grown men having him cornered he simply dodged each punch and kick thrown and took each man down in an instant. It was magnificent.

I decided a month or so later to hire him once more but for a different reason. If this "O" was so skilled at keeping himself safe as well as fighting and restraining people he surely could protect my daughter from anymore creeps to come. And since he was the same age perhaps the two could become friends and maybe he could even become friends with the band.

********************************************

A few hours after contacting O he responded, agreeing to the job as long as we met in person first, alone. Understandable.

Me: Yes. We will meet there.

O: I hope you know I will not hesitate to kill you and whoever you bring if you take another soul with you.

Me: I can assure you I will come alone.
