She was a journalist, or at least she used to be. Now, she was just trying to survive.The newsroom was a shadow of its former self. The once-bustling office was now a quiet, desolate space. Many of her colleagues had either fled the country or been killed in the fighting.Ava's editor, Marcus, walked into the room, his face grim. "Ava, I need to talk to you about an assignment."Ava raised an eyebrow. "What kind of assignment?""We've received a tip about a potential humanitarian crisis in the refugee camps on the outskirts of the city. I need you to investigate and get the story."Ava's instincts kicked in. This was the kind of story she had been waiting for – a chance to expose the truth and make a difference."I'm in," she said, already mentally preparing herself for the challenge.Marcus nodded. "Good. You'll be leaving tomorrow morning. And Ava?""Yeah?""You'll have a... escort."Ava's eyes narrowed. "What kind of escort?"Marcus hesitated before responding. "A former soldier. His name is Elijah. He's been hired to protect you."Ava's gut tightened. She didn't need a babysitter, especially not some muscle-bound soldier who would only get in the way."I don't need a bodyguard," she protested.Marcus's expression was firm. "I'm afraid it's not negotiable, Ava. The situation in the camps is out of the room, feeling a sense of trepidation wash over her. What had she just gotten herself into?_ Chapter 3: The Bodyguard_Ava stood in the hotel lobby, sipping her coffee and checking her watch for what felt like the hundredth time. She was supposed to meet her bodyguard, Elijah, at 8 am sharp. It was now 8:05.Just as she was starting to get annoyed, a tall, imposing figure walked into the lobby. He scanned the room, his eyes locking onto Ava with an unnerving intensity."Sorry I'm late," he said, his deep voice sending a shiver down Ava's spine.Ava raised an eyebrow. "You're Elijah, I presume?"He nodded, his expression unreadable. "That's right. I'm your bodyguard for this assignment."Ava's eyes narrowed. "I don't need a bodyguard. I can take care of myself."Elijah's expression didn't change, but Ava detected a hint of amusement in his voice. "I'm sure you can, Ms....?""Taylor," Ava replied, her tone cool. "Ava Taylor."Elijah nodded. "Well, Ms. Taylor, I'm afraid you're stuck with me for the duration of this assignment. So, shall we get started?"Ava hesitated, unsure of what to make of Elijah's abrupt demeanor. But she knew she had no choice. She needed to get to the refugee camps and get the story."Fine," she said, shouldering her bag. "Let's go."As they walked out of the hotel lobby, Ava couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She was trapped in a war-torn country with a bodyguard who seemed to be hiding secrets of his own.What had she gotten herself into?_ Chapter 4: The Journey Begins_Ava and Elijah navigated the crowded streets of the city, their senses assaulted by the sounds of honking cars, shouting vendors, and wailing sirens. The air was thick with the smell of smoke, garbage, and desperation.As they walked, Elijah scanned their surroundings, his eyes constantly moving, searching for potential threats. Ava, on the other hand, was busy taking in the sights and sounds of the city, her journalist's instincts on high alert.After a few hours of walking, they reached the outskirts of the city, where a battered old van was waiting to take them to the refugee camps. The driver, a grizzled old man with a kind face, greeted them warmly and helped them load their gear into the van.As they set off, Ava couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement mixed with trepidation. She had no idea what they would find in the refugee camps, but she was determined to get the TO BE CONTINUE
