248. industry.

  Billy cluded the meeting with ID Software, a meeting that gave him much to ponder. Undoubtedly, he had uimated the work of video games and the talkative profits that could be received. Subsequently, he saw Leo Roy Hatcocok. He was the you of the three, blond-haired, or so it seemed, with short military-style hair. He was a giant, almost two meters tall, no, perhaps 1.90 meters, his muscles were powerful, and he seemed like a mass of strength, filled with steroids, iro, granite, and all hard materials.

  Dougs was in Billy's office reviewing the perimeters, while Erwin took a seat in the office across, the marketing area and waiting room.

  He left the door open so he could have a view of the office; this was the most exclusive p the pany, and only one person was seen, captive—Raimon. - Why didn't you pick me up at the airport? - Billy asked.

  Aloud, with that in mind, his head was buzzing.

  -Your CEO didn't mention your arrival until he was informed of it, - Erwin said.

  -Alright, - said Billy, taking a seat. He needed an animated series to create; it had been a while, and he had deyed the promise to Gee Lucas that the series would start produ by December. It was a goal to sider; he would start with the simple cssic drawings of the first series of quick shorts, a two-hour movie with five-mirailers, divided into parts. It would take time; he would expand the series to at least three hours so that each episode would have seven minutes of s time.

  He did his drawing work for the wo hiving the outlines of the beginnings of a series while getting down to business. On his desk was a 15-page script dating back to 1976; it was a clear sign that in the ing days, he would have to delve into duplig that script to at least four hundred pages with outlines of the main lines.

  Whe tired of drawing, he started writing in Word, Word 6.0 in 1993, it was a stable version that he liked. He kept writing, all the details of the script in his head while making drawings on a white notepad titled Star Wars. Not far away were all the ics that Star Wars had published to date. Anne, in a short time, would tae ghostwriters, and the Star Wars series would begin to take shape and e to life once Billy started shaping the world alongside Gee Lucas.

  In his head, he had a total of 394 worlds, along with at least 10,000 characters. He started from the beginning. From the phat unraveled everything, Naboo, and Corust, followed by some other ps more or less relevant to the Star Wars series. With prior knowledge, he refihe plots, and many of them took shape in different ways, instilling deeper dialogues among the Jedi.

  -It's half past eight, sir, - Erwin said from the door.

  -Do you o leave? - Billy asked, paying attention to his puter, tinuing to take notes and draft dialogue.

  -We're doing shifts, for now, both Dougs and Leo are waiting for you to settle in the appropriate area to rest in their respective pces. I'll stay alone as an emergency measure while we establish the danger zones and relevant security, - Erwin said.

  -I see, - said Billy, taking note of the three men who were now his group of bodyguards. -- Let me finish with this idea; I'll take everything and work at the hotel, -- added Billy, finally finishing his st touches to square away the first part of the saga.

  He had to take his Star Wars notepad; it was the only relevant thing he would do until the weekend. The building was calm; most of the workers were at home except for some animators who tiheir activities, such as Anna Szymanski, who drew as she pondered all the memories of her try, along with some other photos.

  Or a Raimon, who tio review the ats of the hotel pany like a bloodhound sniffi; meticulously, each at was observed to the smallest detail. - That's it, guys. Let's go get settled; you let Raimon know? We'll have di the hotel; he has some ats to update me on, - said Billy.

  Dougs nodded; Billy's feeling was inexplicable; he felt like the mafia boss with three bodyguards by his side. They had devoted themselves to reactivating the teical itments of all the pany's guards, drafted new rules, and requested that each employee's data room be reviewed. The Pion security pany didn't mess around. How much would it cost? But that was the least he wao know at the moment.

  Raimon arrived busy; tely, he dressed better. However, beh the elegant pants and the button-up shirt, the Star Wars hoodie was as fshy as a lighthouse in the middle of the forest.

  -My truck, - Billy asked Raimon.

  -It's in the garage; I've had the keys sihis m, I just fot to give them to you, - Raimon said.

  -We'll eat at the hotel; these guys have to leave soon, but a good dinner never hurts anyone. What do you say? - Billy asked, thinking about the e chi served at the hotel. The restaurant closed at 10, and he fervently desired a good meal.

  -I wanted pizza! Oh well, I'll eat tomorrow, even though we didn't finish our st game, - Raimon said.

  They left the office, just as Billy's Toyota truck was there, a ruck given by his grandparents and father, but he hadn't used it in a while. Billy took the driver's seat, again ing his three bodyguards, who got in. The vehicle had been checked by Erwin this m and by Dougs iernoon; they needed a private parking space for added security, but that would be discussed ter.

  Raimon's car, with the bright Batman symbol on its hood, followed behind.

  -You take the truck as long as you return it tomorrow, - Billy told his bodyguards.

  They nodded. Dougs took the car keys. The room was 205, reserved for some time. They set out to check for any security breaches. It was now uood why Margot had booked a double room for her beloved bodyguard. He chatted with Raimon long enough to get ahead of all the gossip; even ter, he whispered something to him that no one else heard but Raimon. He nodded and bid farewell to Billy with a hug.

  Erwin was eating a turkey sandwich from a distant table, not too far, but enough for him to talk privately with Raimon. Ahing about having bodyguards is paranoia; only someone who needs security hires them. And especially from such a private list.

  -Thanks for waiting, Erwin, and I apologize for the invenience, - Billy said, calling for the bill and paying for everything.

  -We are the security service, one of the best panies in the world. It's our job, - Erwin said.

  -I uand that. Let's go; I just paid the bill, I know the food here is expensive, - Billy said, heading to his room. Rinse and wash; he had to focus on drawing the animated story. The storyline was on point; he already had the faces of all the main characters and added some special ones like the short stories of Grievous, Durge, Severaan, and Asajj Ventress.

  The main idea is to keep arguing every immediate detail, a longer prologue that details the flict of the es, only as an introdu.
