Nathaniel was immerse in his mind, trying to organise his memories . After incorporating with the memories of Marc, he start having huge headache . The reason was evident enough, on one side their was the memories of a twelve years old innocent boy and on the other side a forty years old trained killer . He knew that if he continue to try to dissociate the two, he could ended up with a split personality warring for the control of his body . The headache was a warning the he took very seriously, hence the meditation . That was the best way to merge the two identities into one based on his research .
Unbeknown to him, his personality start changing, evolving . He became hard working, impassive and most of all collected . With Marc experience and his own, he became a fifty years old man in the body of a sixteen years old .
Finally opening his eyes, he stood up smiling brilliantly . Removing the dust and grass on his short and his tracksuit jacket . He remembers the moment when his grandma learned that he did not have clothes at his size anymore . She insist to buy him clothes which he oppose vigorously . He explain to her that he was going to get taller and gain weight in the following week, the clothes that she buy today will not be his size anymore in a few weeks . He knew that she wanted to show him in front of her friends to show off . He convince her to wait a few month and then she could show him off as much as she wanted . She did not argue after that .
He then choose comfortable sportswears knowing that he will not go out for the foreseeable future . Seeing his grandparents coming his way, he start walking toward them, hugging them both in the process .
"Nathaniel stop hugging me!" Said his grandfather on a stern voice triggering a laugh from his wife and grandson .
Nathaniel learn quite a bit on his grandfather when talking with his grandma . He was a hard working, no-nonsense, cold man . Except with his family despite trying to not show it . He bitch about Nathaniel hugging him yet he never stop him from doing so .
"No can't do grandpa, you have sixteen years of due hugging and i know how much you like taking dues" Said Nathaniel with mirth triggering a even bigger laugh from his grandma, He could swear that he see the corner of his grandpa mouth twitching too .
"Smart ass grandson are even worth than a smart ass daughter" He grumble in an almost inaudible voice which trigger an another bout of laughter that he joins this time .
"Dearest, why do you meditate that much?" Ask with curiosity Diane .
"That help me think grandma . I can organise my thought much better that way and the calm help me planning for the future . "
"What do you want to do in the future kid?" Ask his grandfather interested .
"For the immediate future, intellectually i need to keep learning and reading to catch up with my studies . Physically, well i was going to ask you if i could borrow Jean and Amal from you . " Ask Nathaniel which startled Robert .
His grandfather being someone important, he gad bodyguard and especially two personal bodyguard . Amal was a former highly train Mossad agent, who his grandfather recruit five years ago . Jean was a former french Legionary which was surprising . They tend to be extremely loyal to their country, becoming bodyguard of senator and even the French President at the end of their service . Marc did many joint operation with french legionary in afghanistan when he was a SEAL . This guys were absolute beast and he was glad that they were ally . Despite the SEAL training ingrained in his mind, he knew that he was going to train way much faster if he was challenged .
"Why do you want them?"
"I need to do muscle reinforcement and nothing is better that autodefense training to do that . Jean and Amal are uniquely qualified to do that . Moreover knowing your fame, our family wealth and mom work as a prosecutor, i need to know how to protect myself . " He said with a firm voice .
Robert appear thoughtful hearing that while Diane frowned .
"Dearest, they are brute, if you want to protect yourself we could hire someone else . Beside, your grandfather need Jean and Amal for his own protection . " Said Diane, she always had a bad impression of them even if she begrudgingly admit that they were very competent .
"That's not really a problem we have an entire company of security agent, i could hire remplacement . For how long you will need them?"
"A month, maybe a little longer not knowing what exactly they can teach me and how much i can learn . " Answered Nathaniel, happy that his grandfather appear satisfied by the idea .
"I will allowed it kid but first you need to convince your moms . Good luck kid" He said with a smirk as the smile of his grandson turn into a wince .
It was going to be an uphill battle on that one .
