| �Okay, Mr.Pearlman, I�ll let her know. Oh no we wouldn�t mind protecting them for the Millennium tour. Yes, for both the U.S. and over seas. Yes, yes, okay, bye now Mr.Pearlman.� I hung up the phone and, leaned back in my chair and sighed. My door opened and Shannon walked in. �What�s that look for?� she asked me, setting down the food. �Shannon, we have to protect the Backstreet Boys for their Millennium tour.� She just looked at me and shook her head. �You�re kidding right?� she asked me. �Nope.� �Oh fuck. I don�t want to do that. Too many screamin� fans.� �Yes, Shannon, I know. But still, I gave Lou our word.� �Fine, whatever,� she mumbled. �So, how many men do you think we�re going to need?� �Um, 1,000.� I just gave her a look. �Be serious Squeaky.� �Fine. Um, about, to make a good team, 50.� I thought about it and nodded my head. �Go pick them while I start setting things up.� She just nodded her head. She grabbed her food and went to her office. I sighed again and turned to my computer. �God, I don�t want to do this,� I thought. Two weeks later we were at Lou�s office. I glanced at Lou, wondering how I let him talk me into this. I quickly glanced at Shannon as the five boys walked into the room with one girl. �Okay guys, this is your new security team, L&L Top Notch, Theresa and Shannon. Girls, this is Brian, AJ, Kevin, Nick, Howie and Claudia.� I glanced at them and quickly smiled. �How fun,� I thought. I glanced over at Shannon and nodded my head. She quickly began talking about how things were going to work with us and who was doing what. �Okay, now, any questions?� she asked. �Are we going to have personal bodyguards?� Brian asked. �You might, depending. We�re very open when it comes to these things. There will be times when all you need is just a few guys or you might need a group. But again, just depends. That�s why we wish you let us know if you guys plan on doing anything. If you don�t want to, you can have a personal bodyguard,� I answered. They nodded their heads and I glanced at Shannon. She looked up and smiled. �Anything else?� she asked. Everyone was good and Lou finally talked. �Tour starts in a month,� he said. He got up and walked out of the room. �Just great,� I heard Shannon mumble. �I feel the same way,� I told her. She looked at me and we both started laughing. �So, what do you want to do for lunch?� I heard AJ ask right behind us. I looked back and the guys were talking. �What are you going to do?� Shannon asked me. �Probably head back to the office. And you?� �Oh, sleep. Late night last night.� I just shot her a look and we quickly busted out laughing again. �Hey Theresa, Shannon, want to come with us?� Kevin asked. �No thank you Kevin. I have to settle some things at the office.� �And I have some things at home to do,� Shannon said. I went back to getting things together. �I�m going to go. Everything is here,� Shannon said. I just nodded my head. I heard her say bye and then heard the door close. �What are you going to do?� Nick came up behind me. �Oh, some programs need to be started, make sure everything is intact and working. That kind of stuff.� �Oh, okay. Just wondering.� �Come on Kaos,� Brian shouted from the door. �Coming. Later girl,� he said. I turned around and waved. I finished gathering things up and sighed. �They think they are like, Gods or something,� I thought. �Yeah, we stay grounded. We haven�t changed,� I thought, quoting what they said in my mind. �What are you thinking about?� someone asked from behind me. I turned around and there was Howie. �Oh, nothing. Just checking things in my mind.� �Oh, okay. You guys aren�t like, always going to be around, right?� I just gave him this odd look. �My job is to make sure you�re safe. Now, if that means that I have to follow you around, well, looks like I�ll have to.� �Whatever. I just hope you keep yourself away from us.� �Well, I hope I can too. TO be honest, I know I will. I�m sure I don�t want to hang around you so much. Lord, I�ll become deaf.� �You know, Claudia was right. You are a bitch.� �Yeah, just like you�re a ass-hole �Sweet D.�.� With that I turned around, grabbed everything and started for the door. �See ya in a month,� I said. I walked down the hall and out to my car. �I don�t fuckin� believe this shit,� I yelled as I drove to the airport. �I repeat, I�m not in anyway, shape or form, going to be that ass-holes bodyguard.� �Theresa, calm down. You have no choice,� Shannon said. �Fuck, I hate this,� I mumbled. I pulled up in one of the parking spaces and got out. 15 minutes later, we were at the gate, ready to board the plane. �He guys,� AJ said, sitting in his seat. Shannon waved and went to sit next to him. �They weren�t supposed to become friends,� I thought. I took my seat, which was behind Howie and next to Kevin. I sat down and glanced out the window. �3 months of this shit,� I said quietly. �If you didn�t like it, why did you take the job?� Nick asked me. I looked up and saw him sitting on the other side of Kevin. �It�s not that I don�t like it. But�.well��okay, Lou is a friend and he asked us and I couldn�t tell him no.� �I see. So, what�s the problem?� Kevin asked. �This jerk up here,� I said, pointing at Howie. �D?� Nick asked. �What?� Howie asked, turning around in his seat. �Do you know who your personal guard is?� I asked, staring out the window. �No, Lou never told me.� �Didn�t think he would either.� �You know, so tell me.� I turned and looked at him, a major smile on my face. �Oh God, such fuckin luck. Anyone but you, please.� |
