You felt very excited as you got prepared for the day, something that was far and away one of the strangest sights you were sure that Clint Eastwood had ever seen.
And you happy without a care in the world was not one of them. "You are in a good mood." He stated.
"I am. Wanna know why?" You asked.
Clint raised an eyebrow as he took a sip of his coffee. "Be quick kid, I've got a shoot today."
"I got a job."
That made Clint nearly spit his coffee out. "You did, that's great!" He set his mug down before giving you a good clasp on the shoulder. "You on your way to getting out of my house."
"I thought you liked me here, your kids certainly do," you replied.
"Just because my kids like you does not mean you get to stay any longer than necessary. So where is the job at? New York? England?" He was excited, a rare thing for you to really see on his face and in his voice.
"China, Hong Kong." You stated without hesitation.
Clint then seemed less excited, less thrilled than he was just seconds ago. "China?"
"yes." You repeated.
Clint took a seat, drumming his fingers on the table with his coffee long forgotten. minutes of awkward and sullen silence passed, before he finally spoke again. "I don't think that's a good idea?"
That surprised you. "Really? But you worked in Italy?"
"That was different." He replied, a low growl in his voice. "Italy was safe?"
"And so is Hong Kong." You replied. "It's not like I'm going to Russia or something like that."
"I've heard rumors that the Triads are involved with Hong Kong Films... lots of illegal money." He said.
"I'll be careful." You replied.
"Be more then careful." He stated.
"I promise." You replied.
You had never seen Clint that scared before.
And that worried you.
