Master: Jimmy i have a mission for you.

Jimmy: what is it?

Master: You have to eliminate the three heirs of an affluent family.

Jimmy: I'll do it.

Jimmy: Anyone in there i need to be aware of ?

Master: No. it's going to be a piece of cake. it's just the three of them.

Jimmy: Anyone else? what about relatives, nieghbors,dogs.

Master: There's an uncle that drops by once in a while, but don't kill him. He won't be there any way.

Jimmy: What if he is there?

Jimmy: should i get rid of him?

Master: No. He's completely irrelevant.

Jimmy: Why?

Master: That's not important. Under no circumstances are you allowed to lay a hand on him.

( That's unusual.)

(Master never cares about who gets killed. as long as we're able to eliminate the targets.

(What's so special about this uncle guy?)

Jimmy: Alright, I'll keep that in mind.

Master: I'll make sure you don't encounter him.

Jimmy: Okay.

Master: What you should be warrying about are the other assasins hired by other organizations.

Master: You must be the one to kill these targets. You need to be quick.

Jimmy: i can do that.

(He smiles grimly.)

Master: i know you can, jim. You're the one of my most skilled assasins for a reason.

Jimmy: Master provides me a map to the location of the mansion where they are living.

Master: keep in mind everything i have taught you. Hide your trump until the end.

Jimmy: i will. For my parents. Thank you, Master.

(He smiles at me proudly, patting my back.)

Master: Go on. Don't fail me.

"i reach the mansion and sneak inside easily."

(This house is huge...)

(With a house this luxurious, i expected extreme security measures.)

(But i was able to get in way easier than i expected.)

"I here movement from a distance and quietly make my way toward the sound. i start to hear voices."

(Girls voices?)

"i reach the kitchen and lean against the wall. From behind the door, i catch glimpse of my targets."

(Girls...!!!)

(Why didn't i think about asking about this before accepting the mission?...)

"i look at the family picture i keep it with me. i'm in the picture with my sister, and our parents."

Jimmy: i will find who killed you, mom and Dad, and i will avenge your Death.

Jimmy: My sister, i may not understand why i lost you so soon, but i always think of you.

Jimmy: You taught me that real men don't harm women or children.

(i can't do this.)

"i watch them through the slit of the door."

Julia: would you like some soup, Cindy?

Cindy: Oh, stop it. i can get it myself.

Julia: i know you can. it's just that I'm getting soup for myself and i could get you some if you want.

Cindy: i can get soup for myself. stop treating me like I'm a baby.

katie: There are plenty of things you two could be doing instead of quarreling. Like helping me with my investigation.!

Julia:you're still doing that?!

Julie:i don't know how many times i have to tell you, katie.

Cindy: Let's just leave the search to the police, katie.

Julie: it's the safe thing to do.You can'tgo around meddling with things like that.

katie: if you two won't help me, fine. but I'm just sit around like the two of you.

Julie: sighs.

Julie: You don't know what you're getting yourself into.

(They're probably talking about their parents. Master said thay passed away.)

(These girls have no idea that a man is standing in the doorway. it would take less than 30 seconds to kill the three of them. )

(But i won't kill them)

(I'll just go and leave them unharmed.)

(I'll tell my master that i don't accept tasks that involves women and children.)

(He'll understand.)

(Are those footsteps i hear?)

"Just as i was about to leave, i catch a glimpse of a man wearing a black hood sneaking inside the mansion."

(Who was that?)

"i quietly follow the man into a hallway. He pauses as if he knows he's being followed. i stop moving, leaning against the wall"

(it's quite dark .i doubt he would see me.)

"The man in the black hood grabs my neck, strangling me."

Stranger: You need to get out of here,young man. i'm not one to kill a colleague.

"i swiftly punch him hard in the stomach, just enough for him to be momentarily disoriented and drop his gun."

Before he can recover,i lock my arm around his neck and press my gun to the side of his head.

Jimmy: what are you here for?

Stranger: The same reason you're here.

(How would he know why I'm here?)

Stranger: i know you're an assasin. if you're not, you wouldn't be here dressed like one.

Stranger: Let me go or I'll have to kill you for getting in my way.

Jimmy: Listen to me...

Jimmy:You are not going to touch the three sisters. and you're going to get out of here.

Jimmy: i can either let you go unharmed, or i can kill you right here. Choose your fate.

"The stranger chuckles."

Stranger: Well i have a better idea. we could agree that we both did it and share the bounty.

katie: What was that noise?

"Horror strikes the three sisters, faces as they see us."

"The man escapes my grasp, grabs his gun from the floor, and point it at julia."

Jimmy: Move away!

"Before he can pull the trigger, i push his gun away. The bullet hits the wall. He turns to face me, furious."

(He'll have to kill me first if he wants to get to these girls. )

continue....

Julie...

Cindy...

katie...

Master...

Jimmy...

Just kidding...

Jimmy...

"He pulls out a sharp knife and jumps at me, but i dodge the attack. i smash the butt of my gun to his head, knocking him unconscious on the floor."

(i don't kill him on purpose.)

(i don't want the sisters to witness a dying man. That might affect them.)

Jimmy: Call the police. They,ll take him.

Jimmy: I'll tie him to make sure he won't move until the police come.

"i crouch down to tie up the unconscious man. julia looks at me with her eyes full of awe."

Julie: You saved our lives.

(Yeah, when i was supposed to end them.)

"Julie jumps up and quickly approaches me with her arms wide open."

(She's going to hug me...!)

"She embraces me tightly with so much gratitude. Too shocked to respond, i remain still."

(She's so close to me...!)

(I haven't been this close to someone in long time.)

(She smells like sweet coconut and vanilla.)

(Clam down... Try not to think so much about the proximity.)

"I can feel her chest rising and falling as she sobs quitly."

"Not knowing what to do, i dicide pat her head to comfort her, but she continues sobbing."

Julie: oh thank you...

Jimmy: Um...

"Julie release me and pulls away, wiping her tears with her hands. i offer her my handkerchief."

"Julie smiles sweetly."

Julie: you are a good person. What's your name?

Jimmy: My name is Jimmy.

Cindy: we would have been dead if you wasn't here!

Katie: did you find us?"

(I was here whole time when the man snuck in.)

Jimmy: i was just walking outside when i saw a strange looking man sneak inside.

Jimmy: I decided to follow him because he looked like he was up to no good.

"Julie start to sob again."

katie: Oh, don't break down now. we're fine we survived.

Julie: We wouldn't be able to say that if he weren't here! i don't know what to do anymore.

katie: How can we repay you?

Cindy: Are you silly? Tell us how much you need.

Jimmy: i don't need anything.

Julie: stop being ridiculous. There's no way we could let you to leave without returning the favor.

Jimmy: There's no need to do that. I'm glad i helped, but don't make me accept anything out of it.

Julie: well, if you insist.

Cindy: My sister, Julie, has been working very hard to protect us.

Julie: sometimes, i get so scared of failing.

Jimmy: I'm sure you're doing a great job.

Julie: i don't know...

Cindy: you're doing a great job, Julie. You just have to learn to trust us let and let us help you.

katie: She's right. you're not alone. We should be looking out for one another.

"Julie looks touched by what her sisters said."

Jimmy: Who else live here ?

Cindy: Nobody.

Julie: after having inherited our parents' fortune, i understand i would need to protect my sisters.

Julie: i mean, wealth attracts all sorts people, usually bad ones.

Jimmy: you're right.

Julie: well, sometime, our Uncle drops by to look after us.

Jimmy: How often is he here?

katie: Once in a while. i notice they look extremely lonely.

Julie: but most of the time, it's just the three of us here.

Jimmy: i see...

Jimmy: How are you coping with just three ofyou living here?

katie: i guess it's just a matter of getting used to it.

Jimmy: it's dangerous for women to be living here by themselves.

( Especially when assassins are hired to kill them.)

Cindy: We got security measures around. Alarms and surveillance cameras.

( Definitely not enough, since i was able to get in so effortlessly. )

Jimmy: it's not enough.

Cindy: You think so?

Jimmy: what you need is something to protect yourselves in life and death situations.

Cindy: yeah, you're probably right.

katie: we thought we were safe until what happened earlier.

Jimmy: He snuck in through the window. You might have to check with the locks of all the doors and windows.

Julie: Can i ask you something?

Jimmy: What is it ?

Julie: Can you be our bodyguard?

"(What?)"

Jimmy: What do you mean?

Julie: I am proposing you an offer to be our bodyguard.

"(What is she thinking?!)"

(Earlier, i was proposed with an offer to kill them. Now, She's making me an offer to protect them.)

"Cindy laughs in response to Julie's suggestion."

Cindy: Now that's Julie, grabbing opportunities out of every circumstance.

Cindy: But that's actually a brilliant idea.

katie: Seeing how you saved our lives, you seem fit for the job.

Jimmy: i can't do that.

Julie: Why not?

Jimmy: Are you serious? You don't know me. How can you trust a stranger with your lives?

katie: You saved us. That was enough.

Jimmy: That's not a valid reason to trust someone.

Jimmy: i could be a dangerous person. You wouldn't know.

Cindy: But you aren't, are you?

Jimmy: That's what I'm saying, you wouldn't know.

katie: In that's case, we just have to rely on our instincts. and my instinct tells me you wouldn't do anything to harm us.

Cindy: Great, Now you're a psychologist, katie.

katie: What I'm saying is, if he intended to harm us, he would have done it already.

katie: But instead, he's here, having a little chat with us.

"i sigh in complete exasperation"

Julie: Quit it, you two! we need to talk to him in a serious manner. we don't want you to feel like we're forcing you into this.

(Well, that is pretty much how i feel right now.)

Cindy: Come on Julie, we all know i would most probably force him into this if i have to.

"Cindy winks."

(What does she mean by that?)

katie: Sorry, Jimmy. Don't mind her, She's kidding.

Jimmy: Okay...

Julie: Jimmy, you're free to leave but it would mean the world to us if you accepted our offer.

Continue...

Sorry Everyone For Late Update...

Cindy: And you get to save lives! How cool is that?

(these girls are so naive...)

(i mean, trusting someone with their lives ?)

(i don't harm women,but someone else could be here in my place, and they could be asking that person the same thing.)

(They are such easy targets. which makes me feel like i need to protect them.)

(i wasn't able to protect my family, but i have the choice to protect these three girls in front of me.)

Jimmy: i don't usually accept offers like this.

Cindy: Like what, exactly ? Like being a superhero and a mighty savior that gets to do good things in the world?

katie: Don't be rude, Cindy.

Cindy: I'm sorry if that come out in an offensive way but i am just really curious as to what's holding him back.

Jimmy: i just have other things to take care of.

Julie: we respect that.

Jimmy: yeah, i know.

Julie: But just like what i said earlier, you can always decide.

Julie: just think of it as another job opportunity or professional employment. Tell me how much your services cost.

Julie: it's going to be basically a job anyway. You get wages for the service you provide.

Julie: Think about it that way.

"katie approaches me and places her hand about mine, her eyes pleading."

(Her hands are so soft and warm…)

(I'm feeling nervous right now. I'm not sure why.)

katie: Please think about it.

"katie pulls her hand away. "

Cindy: if you accept our offer, you can be sure we'll pay you handsomely.

Jimmy: I'm not really interested with wealth or anything.

Julie: Jimmy, we need you.

"( What have i gotten myself into?)"

Jimmy: i need to think about it.

Julie: Of course.

Jimmy: i will come back once i make up my mind.

Julie: We're looking forward to seeing you again. You know where to find us?

Jimmy: Yeah.

Julie: And if you don't come back, then i guess that's it.

"i nod."

Jimmy: Yeah, i think so.

katie: Thank you, Jimmy. we owe you our lives.

The three sisters walk me to the front door.

Cindy: Goodbye, Jim.

Jimmy: Goodbye.

"For some reason, my heart is heavy as i walk away."

i look back at the mission for what i thought was the last time.

( They'll be fine without me.)

"i try to convince myself that they're going to be okay until guilt start to consume me."

(i had the chance to possibly save lives, and i rejected it.)

"My sister was a very compassionate person. She used to cook extra meals for the homeless, especially for street children."

One afternoon, i approached my sister while she was cooking in the kitchen.

Jimmy: Who are you cooking for?

Sister: For the homeless, Jimmy. we will go down to the streets later to give them something to eat. Do you want to go with me?

Jimmy: Yes.

Sister: Good boy.

Jimmy: Why do you always do that? Don't they have sisters or parents to cook for them?

"My sister smiled at me."

Sister: Jimmy, not everyone has what you have. Whenever you can do something to help, you do it. Do you understand?

"i nodded and my sister kissed me in the forehead."

(My sister...)

(She would want me to protect them.)

"i run back to the mansion and knock on the door."

Jimmy: it's me!

"Julie opens the door and lets me in."

Jimmy: i have made up my mind.

Julie: Already?

Jimmy: Yes, and i accept the offer.

Cindy: Listen, you don't need to do this if you don't want to.

Jimmy: But i do.

Jimmy: i want to protect the three of you.

"The three sisters smile at me with the biggest smiles."

Julie: You know the means you're going to live here with us from now on, right?

Jimmy: Yes, i figureed that would be the case.

Julie: Great!

Cindy: i promise we are not o pain in ***!

Julie extends her hands, and i accept it, shaking our hands as a form an agreement.

( i vow to protect the three sisters until the end.)

Jimmy: Who are you?

Stranger: Who i sm is not important.

Jimmy: where you hired by someone?

Stranger: Yes, just like you were.

"i hold shoulders before she reaches me."

Jimmy: I'm happy i was able to save you, but i need to get going.

Julie: I'm sorry. I'm just so greatful you were here.

Jimmy: i understand. That's fine.

Julie: before you go, can i have your name?

Jimmy: I'm just really busy right now.

Julie: i understand.

katie: Are you warking?

Jimmy: yeah sort of .

( i vow to protect the three sisters until the end...)

"When i wake up, i hear movement in the kitchen, so i dicide to go in there and join them."

( it's been a few days since we agreed that i would be their bodyguard. )

( i have also grown used to their routine every day.)

(it's been a few days since we agreed that i would be their bodyguard.)

(i have also grown used to their routine every day.)

"Julie turns to smile at me."

Julie: Good morning, jim!

"Julie give us a weird look."

Jimmy: No it's very comfortable.

Jimmy: I was just telling Cindy about how it's been such a long time since I've been sleep on a real bed.

Jimmy: it's taking me a while to get used to it.

Julie: Why haven't you been sleeping on a real bed?

Jimmy: not really.

Jimmy: it's just... i don't want to talk about it anymore.

Jimmy: i don't feel that way we're good.

Julie: katie, could you please set the table? Food's almost ready.

katie: I'm on it.

Jimmy: anyone want coffee?

Julie: i do! Can't state a day without a good cup of coffee?

Julie: Oh, I'll do it!

Julie: Just put the cup on the table please. Thanks you so much.
