BODYGUARD

Crow sighed again. If ever he’d seen a man eager to get his wife raped and his whole family butchered then this was the one.

If Okie had just sat down and had a drink and kept quiet, there was a fair chance that the three would have taken their pleasure of the woman a few times and then maybe left them all alone. But he’d just opened his mouth in the biggest way, revealing that he was carrying a sizeable sum of money.

‘I’ll pay you two hundred dollars each to let us be!’ pleaded Okie.

‘You’ll pay six hundred dollars, Mister?’ asked Crow quietly.

All of a sudden he had himself a reason to get involved in the action.
