>>5319582For most of the ride, you find yourself puzzling over the best way to apply your skills.
You’ve never done a bodyguarding gig per-se; back in the Corps you were tapped on occasion for security details, but those were just local politicians or tribal bigwigs.
“Executive security” isn’t exactly your speciality; recent events have shown that you’re better suited to being the hunter than the protector.
Then again, you did get caught red-handed after nearly throttling a national leader on live TV, something that seemed like a reasonable idea at the time.
At least on this op you’ve got an easy cover story to feed anyone asking probing questions.
So far as anyone not in the loop is concerned, you’re all just mercenaries working for an easy paycheck.
Speaking of which, you need to figure out the division of labor.
Between you and Warrant, somebody needs to handle the behind-the-scenes threats and somebody needs to actually accompany Queen Bee.
Given the overlapping nature of your partner’s skillset, either of you could probably handle either task, so it mostly comes down to personal preference.
Broadly, working the shadows would require a softer touch, requiring you to keep things discrete and carefully eliminating threats in the background before their plans bear fruition.
In contrast, working the crowd would require you to constantly accompany Queen Bee as her personal bodyguard. That’d mean having to endure all sorts of social functions and political nonsense in case somebody tries to make a blatant run at her.
In the end, you decide to…
> Work the shadows. Politicians have always given you a headache anyways, you’d prefer a bit of honest wetwork over being forced to schmooze and play nice.> Work the crowd. You’re no stranger to intrigue and dirty dealing, but it’s definitely easier and safer to just bite your tongue and play bodyguard for a while.> Other?
