The Prince and The Bodyguard

Part 1

"Now Liam, this isn't the first time you've been to one of these meetings. I assume you know what to do..?" They were walking down a long hallway, their destination: A set of large oak doors at the end. Mr. Erric Henders, the man speaking, was the human-elected President, and representative of the human race. At his side was Liam, Henders' bodyguard, and close friend. Liam had been just a child when Henders took him in and was like a nephew to him. Liam nodded, brushing his curly red hair out of his face. Liam hated these meetings, hated the arguing and the yelling, hated the way people act like they were better than others. Especially when their snootiness was directed towards Mr. Henders. As they neared the door Hender's smiled, running his fingers through his grey hair. "Ready?" Liam smiled, nodding again, his green eyes sparkling with determination. The old man pushed open the doors, smiling grandly as he entered the room. Liam inched in behind him, keeping his head low; he leaned against the wall just inside the door. Henders outspread his arms in a welcoming gesture. "Sorry I'm late, ladies and gentlemen."
