Template:Story Bodyguard

The Bodyguard is an ex-soldier who was formerly struggling to make a living. But with a psychotic Serial Killer, a mysterious Arsonist, and the Mafia in town, and considering the fact that he was one of the few Town members with a gun, he decided that he could make a pretty penny protecting people. It was definitely a dangerous job, but it was better than starving.

The job paid well – so well that the Mayor offered to pay the Bodyguard personally for protection – and so far, nobody the Bodyguard aided had been attacked. But one fateful night, seemingly so much like every other night he had experienced, would be his last.

It was 1:00 in the morning, and the Bodyguard was standing by the Mayor's house, listening and watching for any strange occurrences.

A bang - the door of the Mayor's house had been forced open. Running footsteps. The click of a revolver.

The Bodyguard sprinted into action. He turned the corner into the house, loaded his own gun, and yelled, “Freeze!” at the Mafioso bolting into the Mayor's study.

The Mafioso had no choice: he turned around and -BANG-. The Bodyguard was hit in the heart. But as the loyal guardsman fell, the Mafioso was practically thrown across the room as sprays of pellets pierced his torso.

The Bodyguard knew he would die, as there was no Doctor to be seen. But despite his fate, he had saved a fellow Town member from the Mafia. He had finally done his job.

He closed his eyes, smiled wistfully, and passed into eternity. (credit)
