The Protector

Sensing a bad vibe from these men, Iris backed away warily.

“Who are you guys? What do you want?”

Rubbing his hands together, Zack replied, “Babe, no need to be scared. I just wanna be friends with you! Hehehe…”

The rest of the men chortled as they neared her. “Yeah, baby! We all just want to be friends.”

“Louis Lont, you bastard! I’m leaving!”

Spinning around, Iris made to leave but was too slow.

In a flash, Zack had moved between her and the door. Locking it, he turned to step closer to her.

“Why the hurry to leave, babe? I promise I’ll be gentle!” he leered as his eyes seemed to be undressing her.

Louis sniggered and stated, “Iris, meet Zack. Don’t worry… He just wants to get to know you better!”

Feeling trapped, she shouted, “Louis, what the hell is the meaning of this? What are you trying to do? Have you already forgotten about the deal with the North Hampton Chamber of Commerce?”
