The Performer and his Chaperon (Tordtom)

ℭ𝔥𝔞𝔫𝔤𝔢

(3rd Person)

Tord walked down a narrow alleyway, filled with trash and dog shit everywhere. He stepped over the heaps of garbage and opened a door labeled "Workers ONLY". He worked for a famous acting show. Well, he worked as a cleaner at least. He got inside and walked over to the changing rooms, slipping on his uniform before grabbing a mop and walking out into the main lobby.

"Hey Tord!" A man said from beside the counter. 

"Hello Edd." Tord smiled. Edd was the person who checked and approved peoples tickets to see the show.

"Back again for another hard day, huh?" Edd chuckled.

Tord groaned.

"Yeah, today is a really busy day." Tord huffed

"Well, the director needs to see you, so I'll let you go. See you around!" Edd waved 

Tord grinned before turning away and heading into the directors office. He was a nice old man by the name of Daniel. With a cigar always propped into his mouth. At least it wasn't a cigarette. Tord pushed open two big oak doors and met with a blast of jazz tunes.

"You wanted to see me sir?" Tord asked, leaning against the door frame.

"Yes, yes. Please, sit down." Daniel motioned to the seat across from his table.

Tord nodded and closed the doors behind him. He sat down, crossing his legs as he looked back at the director.

" I have some news about your role in this building." He said, removing the cigar from his mouth.

Tord cocked his head and nodded.

"How would you like to be upgraded to a higher roll?" He asked.

"Really? And what would that be?" Tord questioned, leaning back in his chair.

"What about being the bodyguard of Tom?" He smiled

"Wait- you mean THE Tom Ridgewell?" Tord exclaimed

"Yes. I have seen you take on many hard tasks, and do them with ease. You are strong and capable of many things." Daniel responded.

"But, I do have to say. There are many requirements for this role." He leaned forward.

"Such as..?" Tord asked

"Well, first off, you can NEVER have Tom out of your sight, except for the bathroom. Then, you must keep him updated on his schedule and have him.." 

Daniel kept rambling on about the rules and obligations.

"You got that?" He asked 

Tord nodded quickly and accepted the job request.

"Excellent. You will start tomorrow. You will meet Tom in the upstairs green room at 6am. I hope to hear from you soon." Daniel said.

Tord got up and walked to the door.

"Thank you Mr. Daniel!" Tord thanked him

"My pleasure." He chuckled and turned back to his paper.

Tord turned the door knob and exited the room. Once the door closed, he walked away to the changing rooms and smiled to himself. He was thrilled to start working with Tom.
