Chapter 66 What was not to like?
The next two weeks passed in a blur. Chad spent almost every evening at Peter’s apartment, and though they didn’t always have much to talk about, Chad found that he was comfortable just being in the other man’s presence.
“Is it weird that I’m going back to the same protection detail?” Chad asked a few days before he was going back to work, making Peter look up from the book he was reading.
“Not really, why?” Peter put his book down on his lap and gave Chad his full attention.
“I was just talking to Mick, and he said that it was unusual. He said that the first job is more like a trial and that after that most guys get moved to another group.”
Peter shrugged, picking his book back up. “Sometimes we move people, but not always. Why, do you not like your team or your team leader?”
Peter sounded curious, but not like he was going to do anything about it if Chad said no. Peter had never offered him any special treatment, and Chad didn’t want it.
“No, I like them just fine. I was just curious.”
Chad picked up Peter’s laptop and resumed browsing his social media feed, while Peter kept reading.
Chad hadn’t lied. He liked his team. His team leader was a decent guy, the alphas he worked with were competent and not too boring, and the job they did was easy.
