The guard glanced at him, and Keanu Ledger felt as if the man's piercing gaze was cutting through him like two steel blades, straight to his heart.
He was scared witless, wanting nothing more than to run away.
Just then, the guard's earpiece received a message, and he instinctively straightened, "Roger that, message received."
The guard, with a stern face, said, "Mr. Ledger, please step out of the vehicle and cooperate with the inspection. You will only be allowed to proceed after passing the inspection."
Keanu Ledger obediently got out of the car, hands over his head in a guilty stance as the guard patted him down, even scanning him with a device, not missing even the soles of his shoes.
The lighter in his pocket, some toothpicks he had swiped from a hotpot restaurant at lunch, and even his mobile phone were all taken away.
Keanu Ledger said, "My phone...I need it for work."
