Boys toys

Bishkek -  His friends admire the plastic pistol the little boy has. His future job is clear. In the quarter where I live and work there are small houses where people live a simple life. They have a few dogs for protection. On the plots in between the small houses huge villas appear. Apart from dogs to secure themselves they have high castle- like fences, surveillance cameras and private guards who drive around in their Lexus fourwheel drive and check the houses on a regular basis. Will the boy be a house owner or a bodyguard? or both?
