I looked at blue eye's, completely shocked "You want me to be your bodyguard?"

Was he crazy? Wait, did that mean this happens often? 

"Yes" he fidgeted in the uncomfortable hospital chair.


10 Hours Earlier

                                                                                    "Blue eyes"

I watched as her limp body was picked up by the EMT's  as an eager police detective clung to her calling out the name "Annie!"

Was that her name? This Strange girl who not only saved my life but may have just changed it forever? Who was this strange woman willing to sacrifice her own life for a complete stranger who didn't even deserve it? I watched as she was carried into the ambulance and taken away. Why was i feeling this way?

Like had a new look on life  "Chuck Find out where they're taking her now! and Evin you find out who did this and i want them brought to me understood?!"

They all looked at me in shock nodding, considering the last time something like this had happened, it took me almost three days just to talk again. This was different though, this time there was her. She somehow brought the will to protect back, something i hadn't felt since i had lost "her". I can't let her get away!

That's when i remembered my hands, the hands that were stained with her blood, the hands that would remind me of everything i lost and what i am not willing to lose anymore! I know what i have to do now, i finally found my purpose.


2 Days Later

          "Annie"

He seemed conflicted as he looked up at me "Look i am not offering you this because you took a bullet for me, cause you can rest assure i don't want to ever see you hurt like that again but...." he looked at his hands..... almost devastated, not to long ago they were covered in my blood "Never again, not after my dad but i don't have have the will" He looked like he was about to cry but he refused to look away. 

What a strange man.

"The will?" Just then i remembered how he looked in the hail of gunfire. He was terrified, just like me back then, helpless. Great now  i'm thinking of bad things and might just cry myself. Come on women get yourself together, you are strong, you are fearless you will not ... cry. The tears started to flow.

"The will to be strong, to not be such a coward. I froze  !and it almost cost you your life, but something happened," he looked away "It was like all that noise just disappears the moment i saw you get hurt. Do you understand?"

"Not really" What was he trying to say? 

He huffed "Look i just, would you just be my bodyguard please?" He looked up at me with those big blue eyes like a puppy! Are you kidding me with this!? That is so not fair! But I already knew my answer.

"Look i'm sorry but i already have a job and i already know what i want to do with the rest of my life and being your whatever it is that you want me to be  just isn't in the cards for me , i'm sorry, really" I looked down feeling strangely sad over my own conviction, was that to mean?

He stood up abruptly startling me as he grabbed my face forcing me too look at him, so close my breath caught "Look just think about it ok? I will pay you whatever you want and you will be free to leave at any time!" So serious and i can't even explain it, what was this strange look he was giving me? And why did it shake me? Just who was this guy to be able to offer me something like that in the first place? That's when i noticed his suit, there was no way that was store bought and that watch was worth even more. Who is this strange man and how come i can't stop looking at him?

I started to push his hand but it grabbed mine instead. "just think about it ok?" his face had a pleading look on it,  begging me to just reconsider now.

Why was he doing this? Why did he suddenly change like that? From a crying kid to a commanding man, then to something else completely, strange. I Suddenly got the feeling i should be afraid of him and this strange power over me that he had but i just couldn't.

"Look how bout we start with names?" i should atleast know his name right, i can't call him blue eye's forever.

"Mitchell"

"Annie"

I couldn't help but smile "Well it was nice meeting you, well other than the getting shot part"

He smirked " Yeah other than the getting shot part"

The opening door broke our gaze as the man whispered into Mitchell's ear and whatever it was it made him unhappy.

"I have to go but i will come back to hear your answer later." 

I tried to reject it but he cut me off with a glace "Later." 

As he shut the door i heard him say "Don't let her leave till i come back"

Ugh what was that? He turned his back and walked out as i stuck my tongue out at him. What a butt face! Who does he think he is? I set my hand on my gun shot wound, why did i do that? I mean i have interfered in stuff like that but never have i put myself in harms way like that before. It's not like i would have a lot of people miss me be but i had my dream, to become a policewoman and protect those who can't protect themselves. If it weren't for that stupid test! 

Suddenly his offer made more sense, i mean sure i wouldn't be getting justice for those poor lost souls but just maybe i could save them before that happened or it could at least be a stepping stone getting me close to my dream. That was the moment it happened, the moment i just maybe found another dream. Personal bodyguard to anyone and everyone regardless of what they could pay, could feel safe and i could be the one to do it. What he is offering me could help, i could learn from his current ones and just maybe it would not only give me experience but could make me stronger. I could find more and more things i want to do with my life and just maybe i could find that thing i have been missing ever since my parents died.  Just maybe if he has the resources i think he does,  i could finally solve my parents murder after all these years of coverups. But that was a lot of maybes and could i really put my whole future on that strange man?

The buff dude at the door suddenly broke me out of my thoughts " I will be right outside if you need anything" he just walked out without even hearing my reply. Rude much! That's when it hit me "George!" my cat i hadn't fed him since before i went to work, god knows how long that's been! I quickly got dressed, well as fast as i could with a hole in my shoulder. There was no way buff was letting me out of here so i was gonna have to sneak out. I quickly opened the window, i was only four floors and only had one arm. 

I could definitely do this!
