The beginning.
Let me start off by introducing myself, I'm James Lattimore, aka JL, that's what my nanna calls me, I'm an only child and I never knew my mother and there's not many memories about my father. Anyway, I just graduated with a 4.0 GPA from Benedict Academy where I got a scholarship, it's one of the best private schools in Savannah Georgia, I'll be going to the military, a lot of colleges wanted me, because I was a champion swimmer, but college wasn't for me. Nanna, that's what I called my grandmother, who raised me, she told me don't let those people pressure me into anything I don't want.
I went to the Army, it was tough, but I got through it, after two years of service I was recruited to a special unit, the training was just as tough as basic training, but again I got through it, I was subjected to all kinds of training, everything from boxing to martial arts I could kill a person with my bare hands, and also I was trained to using all types of weapons, and I learned how to drive any vehicle with skill. From the fastest cars to motorcycles, and even semi-trucks.
I even learned to fly a plane and take skydiving lessons, as well as swimming lessons, but swimming came natural to me, I was a swimmer, since I was fifteen. I also had to go through all kinds of psychological testing. After I got out of the army, I was recruited by the Alexander Group, ran by a very wealthy family in Savannah, I made over three hundred thousand dollars in my first year working for them, not bad for a twenty-two-year-old with no college education.
Nanna was proud of me, a year later she died, and I had no family, my mother left me when I was a child, and my father died when I was around two or three, but Mr. Alexander took to me and treated me like family, and I became friends with his son Reese.
I also became friends with Parker King, he was the one who recruited me, I traveled with him, we had a lot in common, not just our work, but our sexuality, Parker never hid who he was and that helped me come out, while in the military I never dated, and I was careful where I went, I'm also an introvert I kept to myself.
Parker told me that's a good thing for the work we do, at first, I wasn't exactly sure what kind of work we did, Parker would tell me just follow his steps, and never speak unless I'm instructed to. For the first year, of working for the Alexander group, I just travel with him or Reese Ross Alexander. I finally saw what Parker did, someone tried to approach Mr. Alexander and Parker stopped him, I guess we were his bodyguards, Parker told me we're more than that, I'll learn more, and I'll have my own duties later on.
I started thinking, with my training, why did the military let the Alexander group recruit me, when they could've kept me, not that I wanted to stay in the service. Parker told me we fix things as well as protect the Alexander family, I wasn't sure what he meant by that, were we to kill people for the Alexander group.
They met with people of heads of states, they did business all over the world, they had more money than third world countries, they were into everything from shipping to oil, I knew about their hotels, and they have a cruise line, no one really knows just how much this family is worth.
We carried guns and never had to go through customs, I would just show my badge WWSB, that's what was on it, I never knew what it stood for, I asked parker once about it he told me in time I'll know.
When I wasn't traveling with one of the Alexanders, I worked with their attorney Dexter King, he's Parkers brother, the Alexander group put him through college and law school, there younger brother is married to an Alexander.
While working with the King brother's, I could find out about anyone, but I never used it to find out about my family, but someone else did, I never read the reports on my mother, she left me and I didn't want to know anything about her, and more than likely she didn't want to know anything about me.
