Dieter knew that in the life of each person trials and tribulations had to be dealt with. But for some unexplained reason, he experienced more than his share today. First, he walked in on her boss in a compromising situation with a female employee, a young girl hired just a month ago. Second the door of her boss's office was ajar,Dieter's desk being just outside of his offices, he heard some of conversation between her boss, Ryan Braydon and a rather shady looking character. Dieter didn't hear much, but enough not to like the sounds of it. This wasn't the first time this individual came to speak with her boss. Dieter didn't like the boss Braydon very much, but leaving wasn't an option. The money was good and he had her young siblings Brian and Heather to consider.
Close to the end of the day, Braydon called Dieter into his office. Braydon was a charming, attractive, black hair, blue eyed wannabe. When Dieter entered his office he closed the door behind him. "Have a seat . I want to discuss something with you." "What is it?" "You've worked for me for what...about a year?" "A little over a year. Is something wrong?" "Well...as a matter of fact there is." "Why didn't you say something sooner? I could have corrected whatever you were not pleased with." "I had my reasons and that is what I want to discuss with you. I've been watching you since you first came to work for me. You don't date much, do you? No steadygirl friend?" "I hardly think that is any of your business." "Maybe, but I want to make it my business." "What?" "I want you to become my Bodyguard and consigliere . I'll set you up in an apartment for our use exclusively. "What! I'm sorry Mr. Braydon, but you have the wrong dude. I strictly Bounce ." He got up to leave, but Braydon grabbed Dieter's arm. "No one refuses me. If you don't comply, I'm afraid you have to leave my employ. I've learned enough about you over the past six months to know you need this job. Parents killed in a car crash a year ago, a younger bother and sister to care for. You had to drop out of college, in your junior year, to take care of them. It has to be difficult and I could make it easier for you, all of you." Red Irised Dieter turned towards him. "I don't like being threatened or blackmailed, especially by you. I have been your Club Bouncer and kept every thing confidential. I have heard and seen things some people would like to know about." "I'd be very careful what you revealed about me to anyone, You don't want to make an enemy of me. Consider yourself fired. |
