The Young Billionaire: "LUCAS"

Chapter 5 Fear to be laughed at

A group of six bikers with back riders on each of four arrived at an old abandoned building. This place is known to be a spot where street thugs seemed to have been claimed it as theirs. It was an old building that used to be a car center. An accident happened when a car they were repairing blew, which caused a big fire, and the whole two-story building was left useless.  Now it has become shelter and hideout of ruffians.

Lucas can drive, but only he among the young ones here had a bike. Garwood, Lucas' head of the security team, came driving behind Lucas on his own. The rest, Macky, Jandy, Connor, and Steve, were back riders. John actually encouraged the boys to choose what bikes they fancy to have, but the boys politely declined. John was supportive of them being active since he himself was not able to enjoy such a stage of his youth due to his legs. But the boys knew that even allowing Lucas was already a big issue with the Madame, she was not in favor, even until now, she was not into letting her son and any of the boys ride the bike. Lucas had to beg his mom for a while before she finally, half-heartedly agreed. With a firm reminder of him to be careful every time she knows he was going to ride a bike. Driving it or back riding, the word "motorcycle" alone seemed to bring fear to Lady Diane. Very much opposite with her husband and even grandma Betty was supportive with Lucas and the boys being active. She indulged them yet with stern reminders and discipline that they have to follow safety measures. They have to be aware that accidents can happen anywhere and anytime, so being extra careful is a must if they want to enjoy the same freedom. The old lady made Diane agreed by making her granddaughter-in-law feel at ease that nothing bad or wrong will happen even if the young ones enjoy extra joy in life. John was not able to enjoy it because he couldn't, while the new generations of Richards are quite healthy in every way and every aspect that there is no reason not to let them do as they wish as long as they are cautious and make sure they are safe. Besides, there are eyes watching over them all the time. If they ever need help, a hand will always be quickly extended to help them up, maybe even before they may even fall. Diane almost fainted when Diana asked for her own bike, too. While Denny and Betty quickly agreed. The two elders were even arguing about who was going to buy the bike. They ended up agreeing to chip in, but Diana declined their offer. She did not want them to feel guilty later if something happens to her while riding a bike they shared to buy for her. 

"I will use my savings. I am still learning how to ride, so anything at the garage will do. And I am still looking for the best model that suits me and that makes me feel comfortable. I might ask for a customized model. I don't know...." Diana explained as she turned the two elders offer of buying her the bike. 

"Okay, I agree to that." Denny cheerfully answered. He can already imagine how she would look like on a bike. During his youth, he and his wife Laura were members of a bikers group. Although Laura did not own a bike, she could drive, and boy she was a daredevil. Denny smiled helplessly as he recalls some of his late wife's boldness and wildness. When he saw Diane at the Amusement park, enjoying such extreme rides, he felt Diane was like Laura. Now that he can see Diana, he is convinced that Diana is more like Laura. 

Betty said she would order the latest designs of motorcycle models for Diana to choose from. Or even if she wanted to customize any of the latest designs to fit to her liking, Betty will make it possible. Her only great-granddaughter deserves everything she desires in life. She is responsible and sensible, so Betty is so happy to grant every wish this girl had ever made in her whole life. There weren't many, though. She always just end up asking for permission. Spending and doing them was all up to her. A reason why the two elders were more eager to give what she asks every time she had something in mind. 

"Macky, are you sure this is where he is?" Lucas asked.

"Well, I can't be sure about that. I just followed the trace where the surveillance cameras on the streets had led me. The surveillance camera close to here was where he was last seen." Macky answered.

It was not a good idea to just bust in. 

"Okay then, let us take a peek first before we dive in." Lucas took a small dragonfly-shaped robot from a case off his pants. It was only after dinner, so the night was still young. They had to make sure they know what they are getting into before they walk into the lair. He turned the internet access and blue tooth on the dragonfly and turned to Macky.

"We're connected." Macky raised his right thumb up. 

Lucas let the dragonfly stand on top of his bike and started to make it fly using a  remote control. It was actually a drone, a small spy drone. It cannot be useful from afar, but with the distance, they were going to from where they were now, Lucas was sure this tiny drone would be enough. It has a camera within its eyes that will make them see what the situation inside the building has. Through that, they will also be able to make a plan on how they are going to get in and out without any casualties or making any problem unmanageable. Their mortal combat abilities are not to be taken lightly, but it would still be beneficial for them to know the entrance and exits, as well as the good spots to attack and where to avoid. Lucas had to make sure this move won't backfire on him. If his revenge for his little sister will turn to be a laughing episode, Diana will never ask for his help again in the future. Not that she asked for this today, this was just him and his protectiveness that he cannot stand by doing nothing when someone dared to offend his only sister. But if his move today fails, Diana will laugh at him, and she might even say, "I have handled it already. Why did you have to embarrass yourself like that?" Oh, that will be a nightmare for Lucas. He cannot let that happen, not even in his wildest dream? 

The drone showed the building to be almost empty. There were a few people almost in pairs, busy doing nasty private business. They may not even care if a war starts until they find their own release. Letting the drone fly deeper into the building, he saw a face he wanted to see ever since they arrived here. 

"Bingo!" Lucas uttered. "He is there drinking alone with few boys."

Macky stated to them the routes they should take. He was able to create a dimensional virtual map of the place according to the coverage the drone took with its camera, that Macky was able to create a move plan. They were to take the guy out of there. Just the guy, as much as possible. They will bring him somewhere to be dealt with and make sure he spread the rumors never to cross Diana Marie, or the consequences will be unimaginable for him!
