It sounds like he is a police officer, but nobody is mentioning ranks. Perhaps he is an ordinary security officer, but then what is he guarding that is so big it requires patrols?

    You see, if I give too many details it will become obvious where is the action taking place, which is bad for my boss's business. So I can't tell. Larry is just a security officer, that much I can tell.

This is a pity, becuase the situation certainly has potential.

    Welcome back, BTW .
    Thanks!

    It is just a dramatised account of the events that happened a few days ago during the night.

    I think it was pretty good. A little vague on the falling out of bed part (what should you expect?, the guy was ready to pass out) but I like the description of the real life event. It's good to see people's real life reactions to situations like this and it was illustrated well. I'm not too impressed with the guard's response but it was a good, if not gruesome, read.
