The Bodyguard - Episode 21
THE BODYGUARD
Theo Mcdonough
He waited for the impact of the bullet.
Nothing.
He dropped Allison and made her stand behind him shielding her from Captain.
"You can walk. Is there any other thing I need to know about you Father"
He balled his hands into fists.
He'd dropped his gun back at the building.
Captain was still holding the gun to his face and he could feel Allison trembling behind him.
They moved round and round in circles.
"I knew I made a mistake; adopting you"
Captain sneered.
His steps faltered.
Adopted?
"W-what?"
He stuttered.
"You heard me right; you're not my flesh and blood. That's why betrayal comes so easily to you"
Captain spat. He shook his head and tried hard not to think about what the Captain just told him; Captain was probably trying to let him lose his guard.
"You're lying"
He spat back.
"Oh, am I? Bring him out"
Captain commanded.
Five men appeared out of the bushes and surrounded them; one of the men had peaches.
"You see, your friend here found out my little secret and came back to Forchia to tell you"
Captain smiled and ventured towards him.
He held Allison behind his back with one hand; he could fell her warm breath on his arm.

They were captured and locked in a room; the three of them tied to three separate chairs.
She watched Peaches try to break out of his chair.
"It's hopeless, we're dead"
Peaches announced.
"What did you find out?"
Theo asked in a very deep, very cold voice.
"I found out that Captain adopted you from an orphanage at a very young age and groomed you to be a stone cold killer"
Peaches replied and continued with his quest of trying to break free from the ropes.
She stared at him, trying to read his expression but it was blank, like a blank canvas.
He'd just found out that his whole life was a lie; how was he not freaking out.
He raised his head and their eyes met.
She saw a hint of sadness in his eyes and then it was gone.
Replaced by anger, fury.
She saw his face turn red; then he started struggling violently to break free and he did.
He broke free from the chair and started hitting the wall violently with his fist she was afraid the wall would break down, she saw his knuckles bleed.
"Stop"
She said softly.
He stopped and sank to the floor.
"Okay. So dude if you're done with all of that, you can let us go"
Peaches announced.
He got up and loosened the rope which bound them.
"I did train you to be a good fighter"
A voice emanated from nowhere.
She looked around and spotted an intercom, it was captain's voice.
Theo was trying to get the door opened.
"It's no use Theo

. Oh, and the building you guys are in is going to blow up in the next thirty minutes"
Captain announced via the intercom.
Theo threw himself against the door repeatedly but it didn't budge.
"It's no use"
Peaches said.
"We're dead"
Peaches sat on the floor looking dejected.
Theo strode to the back of the room and she followed.
She gasped at what she saw; Captain wasn't bluffing.
Sitting there was a bomb.
"Oh my God, we're really gonna die, aren't we?"
She sighed.
"Not if I can defuse it."
Theo bent over the bomb, opened a panel and twisted some wire.
Beep, beep, beep.
"Fifteen minutes to detonation"
a voice emanated from the bomb.
"What? "
