Night Guard Jobs Novels & Stories

"You're going to collapse if you don't get real rest. James needs you to be functional, not running on fumes and terror." They hired a pediatric nurse named Donna who worked night shifts, monitoring both boys but especially James. She sat in the nursery from ten PM to six AM, checking vitals, responding to any alarms, giving Lucy and William the gift of sleep. "I feel guilty," Lucy admitted.

I've got him."

"Please be good to me, boss. It's gonna be my first job. Start with an easy one." I smiled back at Ghino. "What if your job in the meantime was to go out with me? Would that sound easy to you?" The fact is that I still don't know what kind of job I should task him with. Everything in the mansion has already covered by the hundreds of security guards and caretakers. I can't afford to see Ghino mopping the floors, washing the dishes and clothes, and worst of all, be one of the security guards, who kept securing the mansion 24/7.

They moved at 1:47 in the morning. The night was overcast, no moon visible, the cold and dark of the Croatian countryside complete and useful. The facility's exterior lighting created pools of yellow that mapped the security patterns and the gaps between them. The perimeter guards were on the last hour of their rotation, moving with the slightly slower pace of people who had been doing a repetitive task for three hours and would not reach full alertness again until their replacement arrived. Nyx had the team split at the edge of the facility's outer boundary.

If he and Jeremy hadn't luckily ended up assigned to the same patrol team, he probably would've had a breakdown already. All three of them worked night shifts, though Beatrice got assigned to a different squad, leaving Hughie and Jeremy to stick together and survive however they could. Daytime wasn't too bad. Criminals still held back a little while the sun was up. Nighttime was another story. Once the darkness fell, people could jump out at you from anywhere. There were muggers, food thieves, even scavengers stripping people of whatever valuables or warm clothes they had left. On their third day of work, the two of them chased down a robber blocking the road.

His eyes were dark with hunger the moment he saw me. “Whole building’s ours tonight,” he said, voice low. “You ready?” I nodded, heart pounding. “Yes.” He took my hand and we started walking. This time there was no hesitation. We wandered through the quiet corridor without speaking for a while. The city shimmered beyond the windows, every light reminding me that life was still moving outside these walls. "You know," Jax said eventually, "I've spent almost four years working nights." "That long?" He nodded. "People think it's boring. They imagine security is just sitting behind a desk. But you notice things on nights like these. Which offices stay lit the latest. Who works too hard. Who goes

He knew it himself that he is not brave enough to enter such a game. Because of his extreme exhaustion, Sleep became much more easily than he'd expected. He fell asleep in just a couple of minutes. On a usual night, Luke and Kaya were the ones that stay up all night to guard their post, taking turns every night. Their surroundings were in complete silence. Ghouls were roaming around the city, searching for their prey.

The lights of each floor switched as we reached the second-highest level in the building, the level where we kept all the surveillance systems. I had employees who worked around the clock—constantly monitoring the cameras in the shipyards, distribution companies, and any more significant business that requested constant updates. Two guards stood at the entrance, giving me a quick nod before they both carefully eyed Lucas and John. Their brows arched as they took in John's appearance. He let out a grunt as he passed through the doors.

"Last evening? Which products? I overheard them talking about three in the morning. Do you people stay up late working? Sometimes we fill up some cartons and set them up overnight, but I'm not sure that was supposed to happen last night. Who was meant to be in charge last night? ‘Ermm… No one besides the security personnel. Who else was on duty when the security guards were already killed? "No, the two security guards who were killed yesterday weren't working that night," ‘Oh! Do you know how we can contact them? I see. "No, I don't know them; we just say hello while entering and leaving the workplace," I said.

Just this thought was enough to keep him alert all this time. The most troublesome part of the guarding was they had to do it in the middle of the night. They couldn't light a fire, nor were they allowed to make any sound. One has to stay still constantly and keep both eyes and ears open. But when the scenery in front of eyes doesn't change, the mind gets tired of watching the same thing over and over and tries to find patterns.

With that said, I turned and walked away, knowing she was staring after me. …… Judy’s POV He had some serious nerves, kissing me like that and then demanding I go to his room before my watch duty tonight. Truth be told, I completely forgot about the watch duties tonight. I needed to look at my schedule to find out exactly what time it was at. At least once during this competition, the recruits had to partake in watch duty.
