When people find out I'm a 

bodyguard

they are surprised. They expect a bodyguard to be 6'5 270 pounds or something, but that's not always the case. I mean I have coworkers who are that size or even larger, but those kind of bodyguards act as more of a signal than anything. They're there to ward off the fuckheads. AKA drunk idiots or macho pissed off dudes looking to pick a fight.

But you can't fend off the real crazy mother fuckers with walking towers of muscle. You need someone more hidden for such. And that's the role I play. Always in the distance, just enough that I can see what's going on, but be close enough that I can close the gap and stop some lunatic from killing our client.

Most days out of the year nothing happens. But when something does, we're ready. There's more than one of me, hidden, walking with the client. You look and think you only see the big guys and the client... but we're there too. To fuck you up if you get too close.
