Thank God Saylor was gone before our boss shouted my name. I’m not quite sure she’d remember my last name anyway, but today there’s been one too many close calls and I’m beginning to wonder if working this closely with her was a bad idea.

The tall, lanky middle-aged supervisor holds the door to his office open, his nostrils flaring as he waits for me to enter. He doesn’t have any height on me and I’m easily twice his size so his intimidation tactic is being wasted on me. I take a seat across from his desk and don’t flinch as he slams the door shut.

“What the hell kind of move was that out there today? You want to get yourself killed? Were you trying to impress someone?”

I watch as his nostrils blow in and out, one slightly larger than the other. This is why I’ve never had a boss, besides Eddie. The power goes to their heads and they think they can bark orders, bossing me around like they own me, much like the few women I’ve dated. No bosses, no steady girlfriends, definitely rules I shouldn’t break.

“Sorry, boss, I won’t do it again.” It’s best to just apologize so I can get out of here.

“Like hell it won’t!” He begins a rant, his voice getting louder with each sentence while his nostrils flare wider and wider.

Tuning out, I think back to how I got in this position. Eddie got killed. Saylor had no one to take care of her. Eddie left me as the custodian of his life insurance for Saylor since she wasn’t eighteen yet. I tried to talk to her after the funeral but she avoided me at all costs possible. I didn’t push, I should’ve, but I let her do her own thing… kinda. I put space between us but I was never far, helping her when I could without her knowing. I lost her once, she disappeared from town and I spent a good chunk of that time trying to hunt her down, but she eventually came home on her own. It was probably one of the happier moments in my life, there aren’t many so it’s easy to remember the ones that are.

The old man leans over the desk, his hands firmly planted on the edge. I’m not sure how much of this nostril flexing I can handle. I should’ve forced Saylor to listen to me all those years ago. We could’ve continued on with Eddie’s legacy, working in his garage and I would’ve never had to go to paramedic school and take this stupid job. Saylor loved cars, she was always excited to watch her uncle work and never hesitated to ask exactly what he was doing. Her passion for mechanics died with him. I continued his work, rebuilding cars for rich people so that I could have time to watch over Saylor and not have to work for ‘the man’.

Interrupting him, I stand up and nod. “I got it. Stay safe, wait for backup, follow protocol.
