"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.
