Summary: Charmont Prince is twenty years young and sole heir to Prince Industries. One of the largest companies in the United States. John Prince, Charmont’s father, had hired One Eye when he had received death threats against his son. One Eye hated such missions. Mostly they turned out to be more exhausting than a personal protection of politicians or even mafia bosses. And he was right. Charmont Prince was a spoiled brat. Of course, he was dressed in Gucci and Versace. He was too beautiful for his own good with his lovely brown curls and those amazing eyes which couldn’t decide if they wanted to be blue or green. This job would actually get hard…
That same evening, One Eye wanted to talk to John Prince about the impossible situation. He knew that it wouldn’t be easy to convince Charmont of the importance of some changes. Of course, the young man wouldn’t want to change anything about his life. But it was impossible to protect the heir if things were going to go on like that.
It took three days until there was an opportunity to finally talk to Mr Prince. However, the circumstances were alarming.
So the bodyguard found himself sitting in the office of John Prince in the afternoon of his sixth working day. The man looked very serious when he asked him to come in.
“Good that you are here, One Eye. I’m afraid we have to activate your emergency plan immediately. There has been an attack on my son’s life today. ”
One could almost see the man’s fear. One Eye knew it was one thing to fear for your own life. To be afraid of losing someone you love was even worse.
At first, the bodyguard couldn’t imagine what could have happened and when. He hadn’t left Prince Charmonts side for one second when they were in town together this afternoon. So the attack must have taken place in the last half hour. Alarmed, he looked at the older man.
“Don’t worry. Char is fine. Thank God he was shopping with you when it happened. The problem is that someone of the staff has to be included. ”
One Eye pulled a small notebook and a pen from his jacket pocket.
WHAT HAPPENED? He wrote the question on the sheet and showed it to Mr Prince.
“Char’s milk was poisoned. He gets a cup of warm milk every afternoon when he is at home. Everyone knows that he doesn’t have classes on Thursdays and therefore he is mostly at home in the afternoon. Betty, the housemaid probably didn’t know that today he wasn’t there for once and put the milk in his room. When he came back half an hour ago, the milk was already cold and he gave it to the cat … ”
Oh, God! The poor animal!
One Eye looked at John Prince in question.
“No, the animal did not survive. It … the poison worked very fast… I don’t exactly know what kind of poison it was yet.”
The idea that Charmont himself could have taken a sip of the milk made One Eye’s blood run cold. He knew that the threat was real. No one hired a bodyguard for no reason. Still, he felt a big lump in his chest at the thought that Charmont almost got killed. If One Eye had been a religious man, that wouldn’t have been a bad moment for a silent prayer.
“Our emergency plan comes into force now. When you asked me to prepare everything for such a situation not even seven days ago, I honestly didn’t think we would need it. But I am infinitely grateful that I followed your advice. ”
At that moment, Charmont entered the room. One Eye recognized that he was a bit overwhelmed by the situation. His eyes were bigger than usual and his hands were shaking.
“Dad, what …”
“Char, you have to trust me and especially One Eye completely. We will make sure that nothing happens to you. Thanks to the prudence of your bodyguard, everything is planned for emergencies. Please do exactly what One Eye wants. That’s the only way we will get through this safely. Do you understand me?”
The young man just stared at his father without answering.
“Char, I have to rely on you to stick to regulations once in your life. Even if it won’t be easy for you. I need you to be careful. Until I have cleared the situation here, there will only be you and your bodyguard. No parties, no friends, no internet. Not even your mobile phone. You are not allowed to contact anyone. Not even Ella. I know that won’t be easy for you, but you have to believe me when I assure you that there is no other way. Char, I’ve already lost your mother. I couldn’t bear to lose you too. Can I rely on you to do whatever it takes? ”
Char was very pale, but he nodded in agreement.
One Eye was surprised that Charmont agreed without discussion. Even if it wasn’t forever, his life would change completely. But maybe the death of the cat made him realize how serious the matter was. One Eye could only hope so.
“Basically no one knows that the attack failed. I didn’t call the police and the cat is still where it died. Poor Snuffy! We have to act immediately. This means that you will leave on the spot. Your emergency luggage and enough money are in the trunk of the car.”
“What the fuck, dad! I feel like a hero in an action movie. When did you prepare all this?” Charmont asked.
The bodyguard understood that the whole situation had to be very strange to the young man. First the poisoned milk and the dead cat, then the hasty and secret departure.
“One Eye asked to be prepared for such a case. You will be in good hands, Char. And I promise you, I will not rest until I have the bastard who is threatening you. You should go now. Boris will drive you to the cinema, from there you know how to go on, One Eye.”
The bodyguard nodded. Of course, he knew what to do. It was his plan after all.
At the cinema, they would dismiss the chauffeur. Then they would walk to the bus station and get on the next bus to Sacramento. There a car would be waiting for them in a parking garage.
The road trip to Bismarck would take about 23 hours. So they would have no choice but to spend the night in a motel. One Eye couldn’t count how many times he was in similar situations.
However, this time it was completely different and he had to admit that he was nervous. Not because of the danger. He was used to dangerous situations. But he was afraid of being so close to the young heir for such a long time. There would be a little house in the mountains of Dakota where they would live on their own. Only the two of them in the middle of nowhere!
I never liked the idea of Will’s dad being a jerk,(like he is in ALL fics) I always thought he was just a guy that didn’t know how to express his love for his son in more open ways, after all Will never talked in a bad way about him, and even some of the things he loves are things his dad taught him.
I ended up joking over twitter that his dad was Ron bc they share many hobbies and the way they live, and well a joke led up to this…(Hannigram are still on the run tho but Ron doesn’t watch tv and lives in the middle of nowhere so he doesn’t know/care his son-in-law is a serial killer)
Hannibal will never let Will live down that his dad accepted him officially, Will regrets it so much
Bonus (how do you know what human meat tastes like wtf?!?!)
"Technically, you killed him."
