2PM, POWER ROOM*
The crew members already gathered together for the meeting,waiting for Axe and Kaine to show up.
The control room is a dimly lit, sleek space that exudes power. A large, polished wooden table stretches across the center, surrounded by high-backed leather chairs where the crew always have their meeting.
The walls are lined with modern workstations, each equipped with multiple screens and futuristic surveillance equipment for tracking. A vast surveillance dashboard dominates an entire wall just at the right end part of the room, displaying real-time feeds from across the city.
The door opened and Sasha came in,all eyes fell on her but they all looked away,seeing the frown on her face.
"I don't think you should be here" Billie said and Sasha glared at her.
Don't be surprised,they never got along,don't try to put them together in a room alone or there will be war.
"And who are you to tell me that?" Sasha asked.
"We almost lost our target the last time and I'm sure the boss told you to stay out of missions for now,or you're just going to act like you didn't hear that?" Billie snapped.
"You're doing too much Billie,at least allow her sit. The boss will decide if that will happen or not" Tyson spoke up.
"Why defending her? Did she offer you p***y or what" Billie asked.
Gelato and Lupa laughed out.
Sasha ignored them and sat down without saying a word.
"What the heck,did Sasha really gave you p***y dude?" Alex asked.
"Sasha doesn't offer free puss like Billie though" Tyson replied and everyone gasped.
"What?! Say that again" Billie stood up.
"Sit down...you're disgracing yourself,it's irritating" Kael muttered from the last seat and the room became silent as they all stared in surprise.
It's really rare for Kael to speak up during an unnecessary argument like this,he would prefer keeping quiet or use his headphones.
Apart from the bosses,Kael is the strongest among the gang,he moves swiftly and his fighting skills are so lit,next after him is Sasha.
Sasha was the last to join the gang,her training was so short because she managed to learn all the skills in just few months,whereas others trained for years before they were accepted by queen mother,but Sasha was different. Before Sasha came,Billie was the strongest girl in the gang,we can say Sasha took that title from her,that's why the hatred never gets odd.
After Sasha is Billie,fighting for her title back,then Sapphire. Even though she doesn't even care to train most of the times,she prefer clubbing than anything going on in the empire,still she's as fast as a flash.
"Whoa,Kael,since when did you start joining and argument?" Knife asked but Kaine ignored it.
"I guess that was his limit" Risky said and they laughed.
The door suddenly opened and Axe came in,Sapphire followed,she was looking so pissed as she spoke to him.
"What do you mean by I shouldn't get involved in tonight's mission? Why?!" Sapphire shouted.
"Because queen mother said so!" Axe yelled in frustration.
"What? Why would she say that? It's been three weeks already...."
"Maybe you should learn how to start acting normal then,f**k off" Axe snapped.
Sapphire clenched her fists,she turned and started walking out of the power room,all eyes on her as she walked. She was only wearing a short which was barely covering her @ss,and her top only covered her boobs,not like anyone's surprised,that's her style.
After she closed the door,everyone focused back on Axe who was now standing in the middle.
The gang bowed at once,for him which he ignored.
He looked around for Kaine but he wasn't there.
'That bastard always late to get all the attention' Axe cursed inwardly.
Just immediately after that,the door opened and Kaine slides inside and all heads turned at once.
"Good afternoon boss" They all greeted.
Kaine replied them with a nod and sat down at the end of the room,he crossed his legs and put a lollipop in his mouth,the stick moved slowly as his lips closed on it.
Axe was glaring from where he was standing. .
'He's sitting like he's the boss' he scoffed inwardly and walked over to him.
"Why don't you tell them what the mission is about? I can't talk too much right now" He said,handing over the details in the folder to him.
Kaine didn't argue,he took it from Axe and stood up,them Axe sat down.
Kaine walked to the front and gave Sasha the folder,she's the one sitting at the last edge in front.
"Take a look and pass to the next person" He muttered.
Sasha immediately opened the folder and started checking out all the details,after she was done,she passed on to Knife,and they continue doing that.
Kaine pushed his hands into his pockets as he waited and Axe scoffed,he just hated the fact that he doesn't try too much but yet he looks so cool,even without doing anything. Axe was twelve years old, Sapphire was eight,when queen mother brought Kaine home. He was just ten years old back then, that was fourteen years ago,,according to queen mother,he took her from an orohanage house and decided to start taking care of him because she saw his potentials.
From the moment Axe stepped his eyes on the boy,he hated her. There's just this aura surrounding him that Axe hated so much even till now,that aura of bossiness and control..he was making Axe nervous even when he's the son and Kaine is just nothing,he would tremble for nothing and he hated it so much.
And when they started training together, Kaine would memorize all the moves so easily like he was born with it,he doesn't even need to try too much. Even though Axe has been training since he was eight years old, that was four years before Kaine joined and still he overpowered him once during a combat duel. Axe almost destroyed everything in his room that night,admidst all,queen mother is not helping at all..she treats Kaine like he was older than Axe even when Axe is two years older.
The hatred only continue to grow because Kaine's dominant and aura kept getting stronger,he doesn't talk much but his silence is dangerous. He's the second in command but Axe felt like the position was meaningless because he still feel threatened by his presence,if only he could be gone forever,if only.
"Listen up" Kaine called their attention.
"I only need two of you here,it's not a noisy operation at all ...so" He paused and looked around.
"I'm definitely coming along boss,just looking at that details,it's going to be fun" Billie said,her cheeks red as she stared at Kaine.
"Kael and Sasha is enough" Kaine spoke up,ignoring Billie totally.
"Sasha is on suspension" Axe said.
"I called it off" Kaine said and Axe frowned.
"Why?"
"Because I said so" Kaine replied.
"Thank you boss" Sasha said excitedly.
Axe scoffed.
Billie was the last person who checked the folder,she dropped it back on the table and sat down.
Everyone was quiet as Kaine explained things to them.
"Do you grab that?" He asked.
"Yes boss" they chorused.
"Sasha and Kael,get ready,we will be moving by 7 tonight....and....Bian..here" Kaine dropped a tracker receiver on the table for him.
"Fang planted a tracker on the car Harrison will be taking to the party tonight..plug that on so we know whenever he moves" Kaine ordered.
"Yes boss" Bian immediately got up and walked over to the surveillance dashboard and plugged it in,immediately,two screens started showing the location of Harrison.
"He's still home" Kael said as they all stared at the screen.
"Yeah" Kaine replied shortly and walked out.
Axe bit his lips and let out a fake chuckle,he stood up and also left.

AXE'S SUITE*
Axe entered into the living room and met Sunny sitting on the couch with a clear frown on her face.
Axe ignored her and walked straight to the cellar,he took one of the strong wine a glass,he was already pouring it into the glass when Sunny entered.
"So now you're acting like I'm not here?" She walked.
"What do you want?"
"You brought a new doll! Is that necessary?! What about me?!!!" She shouted.
"You think I enjoy eating just one meal every time? Don't be greedy" Axe rolled his eyes and gulped down the wine.
"She's going to take my position and I don't want that!! You should take her away and get rid of that silly tattoo on her wrist because you're mine alone,I don't want to share you with anyone!" Sunny shouted and stormed out angrily.
Axe scoffed and just continue drinking.
"Boss" Puma entered,He's Axe's right hand man..just like how Fang is to Kaine.
"Yeah?" Axe looked at him.
"The girl you brought has been taken care of as you ordered boss,would you like to meet her right now?" Puma asked.
"I have an operation tonight...get her here as soon as I'm back" Axe replied.
"Alright boss" Puma bowed and went out again.
Axe finished up the wine in no time and walked to the direction of his room.
