Chapter 16

Brett

Why was Brett still doing this job when it was just pain after problem after darkness after…everything that was not light and fluffy happiness?

He was sick and tired of having his men caught in the crossfire, and although it was their job to protect the royal family, lately it seemed to be focused more on his bodyguards. It was just a hunch, though. He had nothing concrete to substantiate his ever-flowing thoughts, but something wasn’t right.

He couldn’t even ask Felix to check anything because Brett had no idea what to search for. His gut was doing the talking, but it wasn’t telling him what the threat was, and that pissed him off.

“Boss,” the man himself said. “The police have been up and around the potential location of the shooter, but so far, they’ve found nothing. When things have died down a bit, I’ll hover around where Owen was hit and see if I can figure out the trajectory. They might be looking in the wrong place.”

“Or whoever it is has expert training in cleaning up their own messes and you won’t find a thing,” Brett said.

Felix glanced at him, a slight furrow in his brow. He opened his mouth, but Brett’s phone beeped. Brett glanced at it and sighed.

“We have half an hour before Christian and Oscar need to leave. Let’s make it count.”

Felix nodded and went back to his computers, and Brett watched him for a moment before reaching for the next set of paperwork he had to complete. Soon, he was going to have to choose whether he was a bodyguard or whether he was the boss. He wasn’t sure how much longer he could take, not only the workload, but the painful reminders of those he lost. Every time someone went out into the field, there was the chance they wouldn’t return. Like Owen today. He was bloody lucky. An inch or two to the left, and he’d be dead. Like far too many others since Brett had taken over.

Would it be easier as just a bodyguard or would he beat himself up because he wasn’t the boss and taking control of the situation?

He sighed and focused on the paperwork. The answer would appear at some point. Either that or he would burn out and someone else would be making the choice for him.
