"Warriors, I love to have the privilege of seeing you hot, all bothered and switching into detective mode while you are indulge in your work. But, you may have forgotten I am a civilian, you're supposed to discuss this in private, right?" All of their jaws had dropped as they finally realized they had another person present in the room.
But Team was the one who recovered first and smirked at him.
"Oh please, you won't dare to betray us." Alexander just raised his eyebrow in return.
"What made you say so, goldilocks? What if I was delivered here to become a spy on you guys?" Alexander replied as he tried to challenge the golden boy in front of him.
"One, you were totally hook with your warrior boyfriend, you wouldn't do anything to betray his feelings. You're head over heels crazy on him. Second, I don't think as sassy as you would like to involve yourself in our fighting activity." Team argued back proudly while Ale
"Ash. Team. Rose. Seth. Simon . And-" Jones stared at Alexander as he was waiting for him to say his name. Alexander nodded in response understanding the man's silent question."Alexander.""Alexander. Sit on the front and face the Hall of authority." Everyone gulped as they nodded nervously and walked towards the interrogation table. They faced the thousand warrior who were present on the Halls of authority. Jones step out of his throne and walked near them."Rose made an incident report of your operation at club last night. In which, the captives you claimed were imprisoned in the city." Rose nodded in affirmation of what her father said."Now are you aware that the captives you imprisoned were being saved by their obnoxious filthy friends and made a mess on the City? Not only your captive escaped but it made another disaster for the Clan, inside our damn territory!" Jones raised his voice in an
"That's one of the photographs from the Black Clan Empire!" One authority member shouted as he took in the image."Exactly. And that was the symbol we saw on the little group. We didn't know anything about it, but when we showed it to Ash he told us it belongs to the Black Clan Empire. You see, we can never lie to the authority. We have all the evidence on hand." Seth said with dignity as everyone got silent."Bullshit. You may managed to have that sketch with you Seth but it didn't tell us anything." Braze Bamree suddenly spat back as his eyes was filled with rage as he stared to the boy he once loved. The boy who blatantly rejected him without a second thought and chose that arrogant group over him."Are you really blind, Braze? We already have everything on hand! We wouldn't be able to get this sketch if it weren't for those guys in the club who definitely have a connection in the Black Clan Empire!" Clary fumed with irritation b
"What can you say as the brain of the group, Ash Brandon?" Jones finally asked him as he concluded Braze did have a point. A point where the rest of the group wasn't able to grasps. He saw Ash flinched and from the looks of it, he knew that he was thinking the same way of what Braze thought. That's why throughout the entire conversation he didn't dare to speak. He was busy trying to think of a way to counter attack Braze statement but no matter what they do, they were obviously at a disadvantage."Young warrior. I know that you are given with exceptional talents that made you stand out in this generation. But please think that the real situations and scenarios are far different than you got in training. You cannot engage in the battle head on. You need to see the other side, the whole picture, in an outside perspective. You need to go out of the box and assess everything before you make your moves." Celly finally spoke as she watched the wretched face written on the
"I planned the whole operation. And Ash was busy doing his role to lure out the group. We kept the operation private as his request.""Simon, what did you guys do?" Jones suddenly asked Simon, knowing full well he was the most honest in the group and will never lie to anyone."The man was interested with Ash. So Ash had to seduce the guy to make him confessed to us. That's why we gathered all those information we got." The room was filled with roars and disgusts once again."I knew it! That fucking gay is a manwhore!""So that's why he didn't plan up the whole operation. He was too busy fucking up someone's dick for him to abandon his duties and responsibilities. Gross.""He disgusts me. He's a fucking disgrace to the authority and the White Wolf's Clan!""Huh! Now I understand he didn't want their whole fucking operation to be recorded. He didn't want the whole world to know how mu
"Team. You pursue fighting even though you knew there is a hostage victim? Have you truly lost your mind? You do know your actions will be held liable! You guys are insane! You had committed multiple serious rule violation against the authority!" Jones finally yelled as his voice roared throughout the room that made everyone quiet."We can't do this. This is an insane interrogation. They had committed multiple rule violations, didn't documented and planned the whole operation carefully, and on top of that claiming our allies as enemy! They must be punished!" Another authority member had rose and voiced out his thoughts that was seconded by everyone."That's right! For all we know, that civilian is also part of the little group! His words are not reliable! He is just a fuck buddy of Ash and they paid him, obviously with Ash body to act as a dummy witness in their failed operation.""They should be suspended in their duties!"
The gentle breeze of the wind and the constant vibration of his phone were the last things Ash heard when the final remnants of his sleep faded. When he felt his phone vibrate again, he finally decided to pick it up, scanning and reading the messages he'd received during the past 2 days."Look, Ash. I'm really sorry for what we did. We didn't expect it to turn out that way. Forgive me, man? I really hate it when we argue or quarrel. And I'm sorry for what happened after the trial."-Team"Ash! We're really sorry for what happened. We only wished for the operation to succeed. Didn't expect it would turn out that way. Just so you know, Team was really depressed after what happened. I know we're going through hard times right now. But I believe in our group. I know we can do this, Ash. Please let us help you."-Seth"Hey, Ash! How are you? I hope you're fine by now. It
Ash groaned, burying his face in his pillow as dread and guilt washed over him. He didn't mean to snap at Team or his friends. He knew they were just concerned for him. But he shut them out, he pushed them away. He was too indulged in his own self-pity that he didn't see they were trying to help him. He knew, whatever happened, his friends would always have his back and never abandon him.'I should apologize to them,'Ash thought. Just as he was starting to plan ways to apologize to them he heard a very loud banging on his bedroom door."Ash, you idiot! Man up, will you? It's been two freaking days already! Get out from your lair and face us!" Rose voice emerged from the other side and he knew that she was beyond pissed right now. She'd gone into bitch mode and Ash knew more than anyone to never provoke the beast inside her. It was no doubt Rose would break his door if he didn't act fast. And so he stood up and walked
"That's my bestfriend! This is just the beginning, there are still more heartbreaking trials that will come to us in this quest. But we shouldn't let them get through to us. I can see the Authority and the Black Clan Empire are tearing us apart. We need to trust each other and be strong more than ever. We won't let anyone break us apart," Team said as he put his hand on his bestfriend shoulder and squeezed."Speaking of, what should we do now? I don't really know where to start with the investigation now that we're doing this independently, without access to the authority resources or even reinforcements. We're on our own now," Ash said as his worry started to creep in."Don't get too worked up over that, Ash. We started collecting the clues and took photographs of the crime scene. Even though the authority won't support us, they're still letting us get the evidence ourselves. Seth and I recovered some debris and weapons from the crime scene. We
