Steve was very confused at this. This was his apartment he stayed at when he was working, but he had heard nothing of any sort of special visit to Elias. He held the pistol behind his back and began to undo the chain lock and dead bolt. 

Steve pulled the door the door open thinking to seem someone much..bigger. He looked down at her and into a very wonderful pair of brown eyes, “umm..sorry, what did you say you needed?” 

He could feel himself flush, and hoped she couldn’t tell, “Sorry,” he continued to stammer, “You are very beautiful…sorry, Ive just never seen anyone quite like you before,” He felt like he looked as red as a tomato.

He straightened himself, hoping she just ignored every part of his rant, “What can I help you with?”

Despite the fact that Radhya was quite tall for a woman, she always found that people glanced right over her head when first looking for whoever this personal bodyguard was. She knew that physically, she was not really the image people expected, but being underestimated often helped with her job. It certainly got people to trust her more easily.

She smiled up at the man as he finally glanced down. For a few moments they just blinked at each other, until she saw a faint blush creep over his cheeks. She ducked her head in a shy movement herself, hoping to hide her girlish, flustered smile. That was most unbecoming of a woman in her profession. She didn’t miss the way he held his hand behind his back, either, as if he was hiding something.

“Uhm... Thank you sir, you are too kind.”

She cleared her throat and tossed her long, dark hair over her shoulder, schooling her features back into a stoic politeness.

“I was wondering if perhaps I may enter for a moment? I need to check the street view for your window.”

Steve had just gotten home. His dog, a gold lab named Peggy met him at the door. He walked in, took of his pistol belt and tactical vest and hung these up on their respective hooks right inside his bedroom. Peggy followed him back out to the kitchen.

“How was your day, girl?” he scratched behind her ear and gave her a treat. He then walked over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water and went into the living room. On his way there however, someone knocked on his door. This stopped him dead in his tracks.

“No one comes up here, wonder who that is, hmm?” he looked down at Peggy and then back to the door. On his way there he picked up his pistol from the desk. He walked up next to the door.

“Can I help you?” he shouted?

“Oh heavens, I’m dreadfully sorry, sir,” Radhya called from the other side of the door. “I was informed no one lived in this apartment.” She rechecked the information she was handed, but it was correct. This was the apartment she was supposed to check.

She hesitated for a moment, before speaking up again.

“My name is Radhya Burman. I am a personal bodyguard employed by the Agrabah family.” She held up her liscence confirming the fact to the little eye hole in the door. “If you would be so kind as to let me enter your premises, sir. I will only be a minute. I would like to check the street view from your apartment is all.”

“Yes, an absolute pleasure.” Jane said laughing a bit looking at the girl and smiling. “You’re rather quick by the way, are you some form of police around here?”  “Sadly not many people are, but I find them rather cute. I don’t know… it’s something about how tiny they are that I can’t turn them down. Despite the amount of fear they can cause in a lot of people. Especially if you open your attic to wake a nest of them.” 

 “Escort me, huh?” She asked with a soft smirk. “I think I couldn’t turn it down, I know to be more cautious now but I certainly wouldn’t mind the company.” 

“Not quite,” Radhya answered with a smile. “I’m a personal bodyguard. My client is currently a bit under the weather, so I took the liberty of purchasing some medicine for her.” It felt strange referring to Jasmine as her client, when she felt so close, when she felt like a real friend, but Radhya had been instilled with a strict sense of duty. It wouldn’t be becoming to refer to Jasmin so informally to strangers.

Her expression softened as Miss Porter continued to gush over the little bats. It was sweet, to see someone take such joy in things. Radhya wasn’t afraid of bats, wasn’t afraid of much at all, in fact, but she wouldn’t quite search them out in the dark either.

“Wonderful. It spares me the effort of having to insist,” she said with a lilt that was almost playful. “I’d rather enjoy some company myself.”

“Jane.” She said having always be quick to introduce herself. “I’m Jane Porter.” She added with a grin. The woman released her clutch on the bag and let it fall at her side only to look down at it and laugh. “Oh, no romance tonight. I am a photographer though, yes.” The woman replied proudly. “But unless you consider a nesting of California leafed-nose bat romantic then no.” 

 “I was taking photos for the zoo all day so I’m pretty exhausted but I swear, if I catch that man nabbing at my personals again he’d be smacked upside the head faster then he can say sticky fingers.” 

“Radhya Burman,” she replied to the girl’s introduction. “It is lovely to meet you, Miss Porter.”

She tilted her head slightly, smiling as she listened to her explanation. She had lovely brown eyes that sparkled with life as she talked, her voice animated with excitement. “Personally never been such a fan of the winged critters. Rather nasty, all the screeching.”

She smiled again at the woman’s spunk.

“Perhaps I could escort you just in case? Unless we are in the more populated areas, at least.”

The night was dark and cool, the headlight overhead flickering in a few last heartbeats before sizzling out. A few paces ahead of her was a single man hurrying through the night, long coat fluttering around his ankles. Following someone, even if he was pretty subtle about it.

Radhya sighed internally, but quickened her own pace. She shrugged her bag more securely over her shoulder.  Her hand shot out at just the same time his did, her perfectly manicured fingers wrapping around his wrist.

“Oh, darling, why not keep those in your own pockets?” she smiled, sweet as honey. She ignored the other person who was about to be robbed turning to her. “That was awfully rude.” When he tried to pull back she held his gaze and his wrist with equal coldness strength, before planting her high heel on his chest and kicking him a few paces down the empty street. She inclined her head to the street. “Hurry along now, sweetheart.”

When he hesitated she shouldered her bag again, revealing in the process the subtle glint of a gun strapped to her waist. The man scurried off. Finally, she turned to other person, giving them a sheepish smile.

“So dreadfully sorry about the fuss, but I thought you would rather keep your things in your own possession.”
