The Protector Novel

Everyone was anxious.

They were about to meet the legendary Kurt Gates.

In the hotel, an old man in his wheelchair was coughing quietly.

When they saw Kurt, the crowd was dumbfounded.

They thought Kurt would be an imposing and healthy man; they had not expected to see a sickly-looking frail man sitting in a wheelchair.

Zoey was all but a tool.

Caitlyn and Aaron were the ones that suffered the most shock.

They felt as though they had really sent Zoey to hell.

Kurt slowly opened his unfocused eyes and asked, “They’re here?”

“Grandpa, this is Zoey.”

Landyn pointed to the woman.

Kurt straightened his back and started sizing her up.

Beside him was a middle-aged man in a suit. He whispered, “Mr. Gates, she is the one.”
