Chapter 9

When they returned home, Levi was cold and clammy. His hair was damp from the rain and the knees of his jeans were stained with dirt.

The shock over what happened had finally gotten to him. Having never been on the receiving end of firing guns, Levi was jumpy and clearly afraid. Wolf had always protected Levi from such things. He had never allowed Levi to be involved in the business before, but there was no hiding these things from Levi.

He had seen two dead bodies. Two of which were going to kill him if Rex wasn’t there to protect him. Levi didn’t speak at all on the drive back home. He couldn’t help but to think that he could have been a dead body covered in blood, left out on the cold, wet road instead.

Rex made it fast. They arrived back at the mansion safely, but the blood in the car and on their skin made it clear to the other guards that something bad had just gone down.

“I could have died,” Levi murmured when he was led through the hall. He stopped by the bathroom door, standing alone in the hall with Rex.

Levi looked up at his bodyguard, the look of worry still present in his eyes. His dark hair was plastered on his face and messed out from the rain. His lips were close to a pale colour, much like his skin.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made you take me out,” Levi mumbled. His eyes cast down as he fidgeted with the end of his sleeve.

“You’ll be alright,” Rex assured him. This time his voice was a lot softer. He knew the events that played out earlier that night had greatly affected Levi. The boy looked vulnerable now, and Rex couldn’t blame him.

What they had been through could have been avoided if they had just stayed home. Levi knew how dangerous it really was now. How serious this all was. Wolf was right. Rex was right. Levi felt guilty for it, but at least they were both alive.

Rex didn’t think when he reached out and brushed Levi’s damp dark hair out of his eyes. Levi’s heart fluttered from the touch. He didn’t move or say a word. Levi simply stood where he was and let Rex touch him. After a brief moment, Rex dropped his hand to his side.

Without a word, Levi nodded and cast his eyes down. He knew that this wouldn’t have happened if he had just listened to his father. If he had taken the warning from his own bodyguard more seriously, he wouldn’t be worried about getting in trouble either.

Levi turned and opened the door to the bathroom. He stepped inside and turned to look at Rex, who stood in the hall watching him.

There was nothing to say. Levi was thankful, yet he didn’t thank Rex. It was the man’s job to protect Levi in the first place. Levi simply stared at his bodyguard, and in return, Rex stared back at the boy he was assigned to protect.
