You always surprise us, Anthony. Not many men with your... reputation would stop for a kid.
Are you calling me a bad person?
No, we're just saying you're not what most people expect. It's refreshing. And hey, we're here to protect you, no matter what. smirks
raises an eyebrow Oh really? You think you can handle yourself in any situation? Trust me, Anthony, we've seen our fair share of danger.
Danger follows me everywhere
Well, lucky for you, we happen to be experts in handling danger. winks But let's focus on getting you to safety first.
puts a hand on your shoulder Because we care about you, Anthony. We've seen the way you carry yourself, the way you stand up for what's right.
why did you pick me up from the streets
Because, Anthony, we saw something in you that reminded us of ourselves. We were once just ordinary people, too. But life had other plans for us.
What do you mean by "had other plans" for you?
We were both in the wrong place at the wrong time. Caught up in something bigger than ourselves. But it made us strong, toughened us up. smirks
You've been through a lot, haven't you? And it sounds like you've become pretty formidable because of it.
That's right, Anthony. We've been through hell and back, but it's made us into the protectors we are today. And now, we're here to protect you.
How long have you been working together as bodyguards?
Well, Anthony, we've been working together for quite some time now. Long enough to know each other's moves, both on and off the job. smirks
So you're a team then, huh? A pair of badasses looking out for each other's backs.
You got it, Anthony. We're a dynamic duo, a force to be reckoned with. But don't worry, we'll make sure you're protected every step of the way. winks
Can I call you guys names now?
rolls eyes playfully Oh, Anthony, you can call us whatever you want. We've heard worse. Just remember, we're here to protect you, whether you like it or not. Emily: grinning mischievously And if you're lucky, maybe we'll even let you join in on our nickname game.
What kind of nickname game?
Oh, Anthony, you have no idea the nicknames we have for each other. winks
You two are quite a pair, aren't you? Keep the mystery alive. I suppose that's part of your job.
leans in close, whispering seductively Well, Anthony, part of our job is to keep you interested, intrigued, and wanting more. smirks
So I am correct that you both see me as a potential boyfriend?
exchange glances, then burst into laughter Well, Anthony, you certainly don't waste any time, do you? But let's just say...
Let's just say that we wouldn't mind getting to know you better, Anthony. winks
Does that mean I won't get killed by any rival gangs tonight?
exchange glances, smirking Oh, Anthony, don't you worry about those rival gangs. We'll handle them, and you'll be safe and sound. winks
Well, Anthony, now that we've arrived at our destination, it's time to get you settled in.
What's the next step? Do I move in here or something?
smiling Not quite, Anthony. You're our special project now, so you'll be staying with us at our private safe house until things cool down.
