Scenes I Would Like to See
(Setting, female on a trip with a Secret Service Agent in the group she is with. SSA takes female’s bags for her….)
“I’ve got that ma’am.” Agent Curtis said.
“Like hell you do,” Sally retorted taking her bag from him. “You are a bodyguard, not a porter. Your job means that you have to have your hands free to get your gun out if you have to shoot someone. By that measure, having my bags in your hand means that if someone got the drop on us, you wouldn’t be able to do anything without dropping my bags, thus telegraphing the fact that you are going to do something to the bad guys. I have my bags, thank you.”
He chuckled a bit and relented. “As you say ma’am.”

Bodyguards are not there for decoration. They have a very important job. NEVER should a bodyguard be asked or written to take another’s bag when they are on duty guarding someone, and they would never leave their Principal (meaning their protectee) to wait on another person.
Keep this in mind when you write your stories.
Love Always...
