17th JULY, 2021
Vanessa, Victoria and Xavier made their way inside Alexander's office. They saw Lucas there too.
"We should have brought Elizabeth with us too." Victoria whispered to Vanessa.
Vanessa nodded.
Elizabeth was not called because Alexander is not aware of her ability.
"My youngest yet the strongest group in this agency." Alexander said pulling them for a hug.
"Does that go for him too." Victoria asked pushing herself away from his clutch pointing at Lucas, Lucas simply rolled his eyes at her.
"He might lead you one day. You need to respect him." Alexander said firmly.
"Sure if he is interested in being the leader." Vanessa said and shrugged.
Alexander took a deep breath trying to push his anger aside.
"How about we not pick a fight and you tell us why we are summoned here." Xavier said looking at Alexander, trying to ease the atmosphere.
"We have a meeting with the English mafia. The one you were asked to keep an eye on." Alexander said briefly looking at Vanessa.
Vanessa raised an eyebrow.
They turned their head towards the door when the heard footsteps from the other side.
"The English mafia is here, sir." Alexander's assistant said from the door, his head protruding inside the room.
Alexander nodded at his assistant and left with his assistant to guide them to the conference room.
Vanessa and her friends took their desired place.
Vanessa sat between Victoria and Xavier and Lucas say beside Victoria.
"How do I say 'I like you' to a guy." Xavier asked Vanessa softly.
Vanessa looked at him like he grew another head.
"I love you." She whispered. Xavier was taken aback.
"Say I love you to him." Vanessa clarified.
"But I'm not sure I love him." He said his head hanging low.
"Want me to help you find if he is gay." Vanessa asked after a few moments.
"He is. He confessed." Xavier said.
"So what is the problem." Vanessa asked genuinely confused.
"I'm not sure." Xavier said defeated.
Vanessa leaning back on her chair.
The conference room was filled with silence for a few minutes before Alexander entered with his guests- Jason, Jack, Andrew and Henry.
Jason frowned when he entered the conference room when he saw four teens but kept his mouth nonetheless glancing at his subordinates.
Xavier was taken aback when he saw one person in particular.
'What is he doing here.' He thought.
Alexander sat on his chair and others followed suit.
The meeting begun.
"What will we get my being your ally." Vanessa asked looking Jason in the eye.
Jason looked at her with contempt and looked at Alexander, seeing him not stopping her he had no choice but to explain.
"By joining us you will get significant amount of ammos, drugs and guns." Jason said harshly.
Victoria scoffed.
"Mr. Felix he have plenty of them on our own. Why should we accept charity from you. And drugs really that's not our business. We are assassins not drug dealers or drug addicts." She explained with a smug look on her face.
Jason was about to explode in rage when his son spoke.
"Yes, but you can get them for free." Jake spoke.
"Are we charity cases." Vanessa nonchalantly.
"You are not it instead of wasting millions on ammos and guns wouldn't it be better to get them for free." Andrew asked raising his eyebrow at Vanessa.
"He got a point." Xavier said siding with them and Lucas nodded.
"So you are ready to sacrifice millions on your own for us." Vanessa asked and chuckled darkly.
"What do you want from us." Victoria asked.
Jason looked a little hesitant.
After all he was a prideful man and didn't like asking help from a bunch of teens not to mention from the young ladies who were clearly mucking him.
"We need you help." Henry stated.
"What type." Lucas asked.
"We need help finding a rat." Henry asked in a monotone.
Victoria was impressed someone knew how to cast their pride aside, Vanessa of the other hand was not so surprised but was pissed.
'They asked for black mask's help now they ask for assassin agency's help. Fat hopes.' Vanessa thought bitterly.
"So you need charity now." Vanessa mocked and let out a laugh.
Everyone turned to face her surprised by her words.
Alexander was the most confused since he knew how much she loved to crumble others pride.
Victoria was not that surprised since she understood her temperament and knew they will definitely not get help from assassin agency.
Black Mask surely will help since they don't know her and she'd like to keep it that way and not to mention the money, but assassin agency that's a big no Vanessa will make sure of that.
"Watch you words." Jason gritted out offended by her blatant disrespect.
"Or what you gonna kill me. b***h please this is my territory." She further mocked aggravating Jason.
"Is this how you let your underlining talk to me." Jason yelled banging his fists on the table, getting up.
"I am his right hand men dear." Vanessa said smugly flipping her hair. "And you I would appreciate it is you stop touching me with your shoes." She said pointedly, looking at Jack.
Jack was embarrassed being rejected openly and retracted his leg while Jason looked at Alexander furiously asking for confirmation.
"She is my right hand men." Alexander confirmed.
"She may be the right hand but you're the real deal. You make the desicions." Jason said casting Vanessa a nasty glare.
"Anyone in this room is capable of leading assassin agency. So I will leave it to the younger generation, since my son is not interested in leading this agency." Alexander explained succinctly.
"You have a daughter too." Jason pointed out, Jack tried to calm his father down and tried to pull him to his seat.
Victoria chuckled darkly by his statement.
"Oh dear, Vanessa here IS also a daughter of him. Foster to be precise but still a daughter." Victoria mocked him.
Jack Andrew and Henry felt second hand embarrassment and covered their face.
"Then why is he here." Jason asked pointing at Lucas.
"He is my son, just like you I want to teach my son the ropes in case he is willing to lead in the future." Alexander explained.
"Dad let's leave." Jack whispered to Jason utterly embarrassed.
But also scared black mask will not help them if he knew they went to seek help from assassin agency.
