《Nerd Mode On!》 CH -1 Hello, it''s Kewlz here. And this chapter is going back in time with me and me telling you the story behind this novel/story. So here we go! About 1 or 2 years ago when I still had a decent amount of creativity and one day, I guess I had too much to drink. My brain went haywire and came up with this very foggy storyline and it came to in my dreams. (Yes I was dreaming when the idea of this story came to me.) And yes, I also thought I was crazy too. So I don''t remember the exact details of the dream but it was about a teenager (didn''t have a name.) who has DID (dissociative identity disorder) is a abnormally tall, and hella fucking smart. (BTW, I didn''t know anything about DID or MPD, so added in a trigger that sets off the sudden relapse of different personalities.) As soon as I woke up from that dream I noted down the contents and details before I screw myself over and forget. After a few days had passed, and my mind was completely wiped from any hangover effects, I went back to the notes and started plotting and making up some douche-y characters and stuff. Yeah that''s how this story first surfaced I know it''s crazy but this is the only novel I plotted and wrote while having fun and not having to squeeze myself dry of anymore story lines.

The Four Legends N.1 Jace Xaiver N.2 Ripper N.3 Floppy the Psycho N.4 Shadow CH 1 Dirty blond hair, born with heterochromia that''s me when I was one I still remember every day down to the last second of my life. I had a son I left behind alone without a father nor a mother¡­ It''s the only regret I have besides never saying thank you to my fellow brothers. And by the time someone reads this I''ll probably be murdered buy the Fallen Angels, and my wife followed right after. Don''t tell my son Jay that I was murdered, tell him something else that won''t hurt him as much like car accident or something man¡­ but it''s my fate after all I''ve done to our family. I kinda deserve it too. This will be my last wish; take care of my son will ya? Sincerely, Noah Xavier "Hah." a loud sigh came from Jay''s grandfather as he''s gotten a letter from the office to come to the office immediately. "Guys can''t do their damn jobs right, my grandson is hurt!" "I''m sorry sir, I will get the car ready right away." the head bodyguard stopped right before the door. "I''ll go get young master." "FUCKING ASSHOLE DOESN''T KNOW HOW THE WORLD FUCKING WORKS!" A loud sounds of punches and kicks landing and shaking the heavy bag resounded throughout the room. "Ahem. Young master, we are leaving soon so here are your glasses." "Was I swearing at the top of my lungs?" he shrugged. "I should really stay like this in school then no one would mess with me." At Jay''s front door was his car behind his grandfather''s range rover. He bowed to his grandfather and made his way inside his mercedes AMG and drove off to school. "Oh my! Your son is at fault here! He did something to piss off my precious son! Now tell me how we are at fault!" The high pitched voice of a mother wearing extravagant dress was echoing in the office and the hallway as Jay and his grandfather as well as men dressed in suites followed behind. "I''m sorry we are late." Jay''s grandfather (Jace) apologized. Jay bowed to the principle in respect. "Good evening." "Who are the youngsters behind you?" The principal questioned. "Oh please don''t mind them." Jace nodded and the man in suites went out of the room and stood by the door. "Now considering the problem¡­" "Oh right, Ms.Anderson''s son; Jason punched Jay when Jay accidentally bumped into him." "I was wearing Balenciaga shoes he stepped on those and he rubbed his filthy clothes on to me!" Jason claims, "I Have EVERY Right To Punch Him!" CH 2 "The clothes I was wearing were not filth if you consider a outfit that probably costs more then your car not including any accessories." Jay calmly talks, "Also you had no right to punch me because of your ''balenciaga'' shoes got a mark on them¡­ I have the right to charge you of assault that goes on your criminal record. Right Grandpa?" "Haha, Jay you''ve grown so much!" he pats Jay''s shoulder, "Money is not everything in life, a lesson to me learned Jason." "IMPOSSIBLE YOU DARE TO THREATEN THE NEXT HEIR OF THE ANDERSON''S?!" Ms.Anderson pissed, lashes out at Jay. "JASON YOU CAN BEAT HIM UP! I''LL TAKE CARE OF THE REST!" "Yikes you don''t want to do that Jason." Jace stepped in front of Jay. "MOVE YOUR OLD ASS!" Jason throws a straight right followed by jabs and hooks one after another, but none landed on Jay as he casually slipped off his glasses." "Jay!" As Jay caught Jason''s fist and was about to fight back one of the men came in between them and gave Jay his glasses to wear again. "We''ve recorded all of this and we will make sure they get what they deserve Jay¡­ no need for you to get your hands dirty with the Anderson''s filth." "I''m out then, grandpa I''m going to Gun''s favorite tattoo shop. I''m getting a tattoo today and I''m late for the appointment." "So what kind of tattoo do you want to get?" Gun asked, driving with Jay. "I want a white tiger and a blue dragon on my left arm also for the needle Japanese hand poked style." "You do know that it''s gonna hurt right?" "I bet you one grand that I will not scream or wince nor take a break." "Deal mate." Gun firmly shaked Jay''s hand for a closed deal. About 6 hours later (tattoo almost done). "Alright Jay almost done just hold still while he wipes some disinfectant on it." Gun eyed Jay the who looks half dead as the tattoo artist wipes alcohol on the tattooed arm. "Done mate." "Thanks here." Jay hands the tattoo artist one grand. "Keep the change. I''m off to the hotel." Jay heads to the hotel his grandpa owns while wincing everytime he moves his left arm. "God damn it." "Jay my dear son!" his adoptive mother calls out. "Fuck off fake ass and get the fuck off of me." Jay was immediately in a bad mood from seeing his fake mother. It was his uncle''s wife who hated his father and mother because they inherited the Four legends gang. "stupid asshole is here as well!" he looked to the far left standing there was his uncle talking to the hotel manager. "How rude I''m your aunt that adopted you! You should be grateful!" she raised her hand to slap him. "Hey! Old hag! You dare to slap him your as good as dead!" Jay''s best friend Michael Henderson the heir to the 2nd largest business cuts in. "You wouldn''t dare to slap my best friend will you?" "Oh my! I just couldn''t control my emotions I''m sorry¡­" "What''s going on here? Why is my wife bowing to to a 15 year old and a 18 year old?" Jay''s uncle rushes over. "YOU again? For fuck''s sake you ungrateful bastard-" "Shut up fucker if you don''t I''ll stitch it closed and super glue your ass on your bitch." Jay was more mad then ever. "Jay! Calm down. No matter what before you take charge of the FL you have to ignore these filthy cunts." Michael held back Jay seeing that even though Jay has his glasses on it ain''t gonna stop Jay from breaking all 206 bones in their bodies. CH 3 ------ Jay lost his parents when he was little and his aunt and uncle took the opportunity to adopt him thinking they can take over the gang since Jay was next in line but Jay''s grandfather took position leaving them with their sister in law''s son. That inraged them and they took it out on him abusing him and not giving him anything to eat. When Jay''s grandfather found out he banished his aunt and uncle out of the gang and bussiness and sued them for child cruelty, child abuse so on. This left them with only their properties and house which they sold to build a business on their own. They were doing well, but not good the only reason they got so far is the name of the Xaiver''s family. Realizing that Jay can crush them without lifting so much on a finger his aunt acted nice and caring while cursing him when no one was around. ------ The next morning they sky was clearer then yesterday and the sun was beaming through the window of his room. Jay who came back from a morning jog went to his private gym for a workout. Since it was a Saturday he had until lunch before he headed to his grandpa to sort out the next mission. He took a shower right after working out and feeling refreshed he head down for brunch. ------ "The next mission is in China our head in China is in the hospital recovering from a recent injury and the second is out in America establishing a truce with the Reaper Gang there and can''t comeback till Wednesday night you''ll have to go there on a 1pm flight and take care of the China branch." Jay nodded and packed up his wallet, phone and head out for his grandpa to drive him to the airport. He had first class tickets and head through the VIP gates straight into first class and sat down. He put and his glasses opened his laptop and started working on some school work he''d be missing out on. He didn''t hate the fact that he got to miss school at all since he was ridiculously smart and already finished college when he was 8 went back for another PhD at 10 and now he''s free to get any job he wants to do without limitations. He looked to his side to see a yakuza from the Kyoto branch glancing at him him so he spoke in Japanese. (English translation...) "Hiro Natsume san?" "Jay? How you doing man?" "Not bad actually what brings you to the flight to China?" "Business with the Hongkong grand located right at the border." Hiro''s phone rang and his face turned dark. "What? Akira has been shot? Is he okay?" From what Jay can remember Akira is the head of the Osaka branch, now that he had been shot who knows if he''ll make it. "I''ll take the next plane to Japan right now." Jay waved as Hiro left the plane last minute and the plane took off not long after. CH 6 Time had flew by after the whole club incident and Jay was already on a plane to Korea to keep the branch in check as well as defend any possible raids the Ice maybe planning. Even though he was in first class and security was pretty tight he couldn''t help but take off his glasses since he can sense any incoming surprise attacks or killing intent. "What would you like to eat sir?" The attendant pushing around a snack bar cart stopped by when Jay waved his hand. "I''ll take the caviar platter and champagne." He showed her his fake ID and she handed him a champagne glass and a bottle of high end champagne with the caviar platter. He wasn''t hungry enough to eat the rubbish airplane food so he just got the caviar platter to snack on while making a plan the incoming attack from Ice. I already have men awaiting yo capture the China head of Ice, I informed the Korea branch head to be on guard. So all that is left is to release the criminal charges that have been covered up to the police and public... "If it isn''t Jay!" Jay looked to where the voice was coming from when he saw Michael standing there. "Why are you on the plane to Korea? Don''t you have school or something?" "You know me I already graduated I was just put in a highschool because my grandpa wanted me to have a taste of what a normal highschool is. But I can say the same for you your still in 11th grade why are you on the plane to Korea?" Michael grinned "come one I''m going to the new store that opened in Korea and check out things there...Wanna go shopping with me?" Jay nodded and Michael went back to his seat when screams came from the economy+ area. Just then the attendant yelled "a guy with a knife! he has a hostage and is heading over here!" Back in his seat Michael chuckled ''Oh boy that guy picked the wrong plane to mess with. Jay''s gonna kick his ass!" Then the pilot announced "We are 5 minutes till landing if you can buckle your seatbelts please." ------ The plane landed and the police were there to take the man away to a hospital. Before Jay could act a man that looked pretty pissed off fly kicked the guy with the knife in the crouch possibly fracturing the guy''s thing. After all that Jay and Michael went to where Michael''s car is already parked and got in. The Bentley Continental Supersports was popular amongst the rich kids that could afford them but for Michael this car is just another car he drove with a fake driver''s license. CH 7 Jay got out of Michael''s car and they both headed into the huge mall that had opened just the day before. It was beautifully decorated with luxury brands on the top floors to less costly brands on the bottom floors. Of course being well off they both went straight to the top floors for a look around while they looked for something that they might like to buy they stopped by a few clothing shops before heading to the watch section where they found Rolex, Omega, Hubolt, Montblanc and other top tier brands. Being a well off child Michael was deeply into watches and cars being Jay''s friend his interest in watches and cars rubbed off on Jay. They went straight the Omega and Rolex Michael buying one or two to add to his collection of watches. ------ After all that shopping they obviously got hungry and they went out on the street market of Korea. Instead of going to a fancy restaurants they preferred the taste of real Korean food instead of some bad tasting replica of other country''s foods. They walked along enjoying the street food for awhile till Jay got a call from the Korea branch''s head Jeongin. Known as Bull for his incredible strength enough to take down a bull. Despite his nickname and appearance he was always gentle but strict with the members of the FL thus, earning him the spot of a branch leader. Jay was familiar with him because whenever Jay came to Korea he would always play with him no matter how busy he may have been. "Jay our men spotted the Ice''s men in our turf." Bull told Jay to rush to headquarters right away. "Remember to use the back or the side entrance." Hearing that Jay told Michael he had to go and took a cab and got off just in the corner of the street. He looked cautiously with his glasses on. ''no one there.'' he then dashed into the building through the side door only to find that he was already too late and the Ice have already taken down atleast 8 of their men. He sighed of relief when he saw them still breathing. "Jay! there''s about 30 men we only have 12 left!" he heard Bull shout from upstairs undercover from all the bullets. "I got this." Jay threw his glasses off and took out his gun he charged into the lobby finding them holding an injured man hostage. "Well well, if it isn''t the famous Jace the Reaper''s* grandchild? I wonder what you can do against 30 men and us with a hostage?" Jay stood with his gun aimed and ready to shoot, and he counted the most skilled members out. 6? 7? or so.... I can take them... He then put his hand up. "Take me as you hostage let him go." as long as he is the hostage rest assured, he can take Ice down. "Men take him!" They let go of the hostage and as soon as he saw them lower their guard he fired. BANG!¡Á10 In an instant guys were falling dead after getting shot right in the throat or head both a deadly wound. Jay signaled Bull to shoot while he took the hostage to a safe corner before heading back to battle. One by one, Ice was falling while they were focused on Jay diving under the coffee table away from fire only to take shots that landed right at the heart or arm making them drop their gun. "I GOT YOU NOW!" Mist who hadn''t been there before was suddenly with Jay disarming him and into a headlock. "You better stop or this kid is as good as GONE!" Jay pretended to not be okay while gesturing the others to hold their fire. "Now I want all of you to throw your guns down here one by one or else a bullet hole will appear in this kid''s head." The men was about to throw their guns away when Jay yelled. "Don''t! your weapon is your lifeline if you throw it away your saying you let them win." Mist seeing this took his gun and shot Jay right to his inner left thigh. Jay moved his leg alittle bit making sure it didn''t hit an artery but the gun was from the black market which meant that the bullet didn''t always travel straight and it hit his bone shattering it instantly. Jay got pissed that he was hurt for the first time by these low tier gang. He grabbed Mist''s arm using it as a lever and flipped him over his back and on the ground winded. Seeing this Bull began taking out the remaining 9 men that were standing there, dashed down to make sure Mist was unable to run and he did that by snapping Mist''s legs like twigs in half. "Eye for eye." ____________________________________________ Jace the Reaper: Jace''s grandfather''s nick name givin to him by his enemies. CH 8 The morning sun was up, and a cool breeze came through the window as Jay sat up from his bed a throbbing pain in his broken leg. He had a custom cast on that he had to keep on for the next couple of weeks coming in for a cast redo and check up on the healing process. Since he couldn''t stay in Korea till he healed up he told Bull to get the papers ready and book a flight back to America he would continue the treatment there. So as he hurried the doctor to discharge him and by the afternoon Jay was on a flight back to America with Michael. "Dude what''s up with your leg? you haven''t been hurt since...as long as I can remember! But look at you in a cast with crutches taking painkillers!" "Shut it or you won''t be in any better state then me." Jay shot a cold annoyed gaze to Michael and seeing the cold look he shut his mouth so that he can live. "It wasn''t gonna be more then a cut but the gun he had was a gun with poor accuracy and it hit my bone instead. That''s all." Michael didn''t look that surprised since he knew Jay was the sole heir of a top gang and this stuff happened in the past and will happen in the future. It was a long 13 hour flight and when Jay finally stood up to go, the pilot offered a hand to help Jay make his way down the stairs. ------ "Jay, until your leg heals up I''m putting you back in school in 11th grade this time since your going to turn 16 soon you''ve gotta be ready to take over. But I''m not letting you take over till we have someone to carry on the bloodline with a heir." Jace was thinking up on ways to put Jay back into school and since Jay was injured and had to take a leave from the gang, he decided to put Jay back in a school. Jay having no choice in his grandpa''s decision just took it as a vacation. CH 9 At the Tiger''s den Private school where Jay was in the office waiting for his new teacher to take him to the class. "Did you call me Mr.Lin?" Jay''s teacher who looked in her early 30''s came in. "A new student I see." She put on a gentle smile and hinted Jay to follow her, So Jay got up and took his crutches and was about to reach for his bag when the Teacher grabbed it for him. "Please let me carry it." Jay nodded and they headed out of the office walking along the hallways. "Your class is on the second floor class 2-A. Since it''s a safety concern for you to use the stairs you will be allowed to take the staff elevator." Jay didn''t say much as he just nodded. "Alright everyone sorry for the wait." she said as she strolled into class Jay following behind as fast and his crutches will allow him. "Now this is Jay, a new student here who just transferred in today. He had an injury just before he was supposed to be here so he couldn''t come yesterday." it was an excuse that Jace had come up with. And Jay''s information about already having PhDs was told to be kept a secret. "Why don''t you introduce yourself Jay?" "I''m Jay (L.) Xaiver* um as you heard from her I was supposed to come yesterday or way before that but I got held up." "You can sit right at the front." there was an empty desk right at the front of the class and right in the middle too. Seems like he won''t be tuning out and listening to music now. DING* "Next period is PE! Everyone get changed and get to the front fields!" "Hey guys change her while the girls go to the change room." Jay nodded and took of the school uniform leaving only his pants on. He had to becareful to not get noticed for having a firearm with him. But all eyes were on him and his toned body. How can a 11th grader have an 8pack? and those biceps and triceps! Holy shit... His shoulders are wide! And what the fuck! He has a tattoo! Jay had worked out every day since he had to keep his body in check for all the dangers he faced. He quickly put on his own gym clothes that he would wear for his workouts. He had trouble taking off his uniform pants as it was made out of suit material. He sighed and ripped it off and put on his shorts limped to his crutches. ------ "Today is your archery test! Everyone to the archery range!" Mr.Toth looked over at Jay and his homeroom teacher. "Is he joining us?" As she was about to reply Jay spoke first. "Yeah I''ll join." Toth smirked and headed over to the students warming up. He instructed that Jay go first then rest under the shade. So Jay picked the bow up and felt what tension mark the string was on and drew back the arrow. He held his breath and let go of the arrow. THUNK! The arrow struck right in the middle. Bullseye! Jay look to Mr.Toth "I''ve gotten alittle rusty if I wasn''t I would''ve been able to put that arrow through the target." Jay smirked and made his was to the bench where Michael came out of no where. "Look at little Mr.Cool-Guy-With-Crutches!" Michael handed over a bottle of cool water. "Take it Mr.Cool Guy!" ____________________________________________ Jay L. Xavier: Jay Luke Xaive CH 10 "Hey did you hear the new transfer student is real close with the Prince! So if we get close to the transfer we would get a chance to get close to Michael!" Rumors spread fast in school, in an instant Jay was popular amongst the girls because of Michael. "Even if we can''t get Michael I heard the new transfer is pretty hot too!" The girls let out a few squeal as Michael passed by the second floor hallway into Jay''s class. "Yo bro you getting lunch yet? I know a good place down the street from school! Let''s go!" Michael grabbed Jay and dragged him before remembering Jay''s leg. "Sorry man just forgot... here are your crutches." ------ "I swear the skewers here are top notch!" Michael praised as he shoved in the whole mutton skewer into his mouth grabbing another with his free hand. "You eat like a pig." Jay also took a bite of the chicken skewer and his mood went from bad to holy. "This is good! I''ll take some to eat in class!" Jay ordered 4 mutton skewers, 2 chicken, barbecued beef and cola to go. "That''ll be exactly 20 dollars. How would you like to pay?"Jay took out his wallet but Michael placed a 50 dollar bill on the counter. "My treat man." Jay smiled then left with Michael carrying the food. "HEY YOU TWO! GET OVER HERE!" a teacher at the gates noticed them as they were heading in but quickly softened up when he saw Michael. "Geez! chill out we were only out for no more then 30 minutes!" Michael said annoyed. "Jay I''ll bring you back upstairs cause I don''t wanna take the stairs." He stuck his tongue out at the gate keeper and headed in the school. "Your class is 2-A right?" "Yeah." Jay said as they arrived on the second floor. "Thanks for the meal man. What are you going to do after school?" "Nothing much I was gonna take my new Lambo out on a drive. You want to tag along? We can hit the club later on too." Jay nodded and gave a fist bump to Michael and left. As soon as he went in girls came swarming towards him. They were obviously trying to flirt to get close to Michael and he just pushed them lightly and said "Michael has his one and only." It wasn''t a lie was he knew Michael was chasing a girl. But they didn''t give up and clung onto him aiming for him since they didn''t have a chance with Michael. "I''m...." Jay thought for a moment he didn''t have a girlfriend or have even chased a girl! He was always busy with managing the business and the Mob* with his grandpa. ''Wait....did my grandpa put me in school to get the next Young miss of the Mob?'' He had hit the bullseye for the second time.... ___________________________________ Mob: another word for the Mafia or/and Gang. CH 11 "So Elder Jace* got you into school in hopes of you finding a girl?" Michael laughed at the thought of Jay flirting with woman... "Too hilarious!" Jay punched Michael on the side of the arm as Michael was driving his brand new Lamborghini Centenario Convertible. Since it was quite rare to see a Lamborghini everytime they stopped at a red light people would take pictures. Jay put on a mask and sunglasses covering most of his face just incase he was in the pictures that had been taken. "Dude let''s get ourselves some icecream nothing beats a cool creamy goodness on a hot day!" Michael said as he hit the acceleration. They parked their car in a high security underground parking where they could see more high end cars like a Maybach, Audi S5, even a McLaren. They only had their phone and wallet as they could buy anything else if needed. But just incase Jay had a Glock 19 and a CZ 75 Tactical Sport as a back up. Jay looked at his surroundings to check for any dangers but found none within 50 meters. "Can I get the triple scoop, I want Vanilla, Pistachio and the Strawberry cheesecake." Michael looked at Jay to ask what he wanted but just turned right back. "Make that 2 triple scoops." "That''ll be $7.48 we only accept cash or debit." "Here." Michael handed the guy 10 dollars and put the change in the tip jar, handed one icecream to Jay before taking it back since Jay had no hands free because of his crutches. "Where should we go next? It''s still 6pm and the clubs open at around midnight." "I need to get some gym clothes for school and let''s stop by at Fit*." Michael agreed as they walked to the mall which was right beside the Ice cream shop so it was not to far of a walk. ------ "How can I help you?" Jay was looking at some sporting shirts and shorts when an employee asked. "Do you have Large or X-Large for the UnderArmour shirt? Also the black Nike shorts?" Jay pointed, and the employee gave him the shirt and shorts right away. "Thank you." "Ready to check out?" Michael was carrying a mountain of clothes. "What? some of it is for you too!" he said as he took the shirts from Jay too and paid without Jay''s approval. "These days I swear we pay for the brand name not the quality. But sports brands that have good quality things unlike other brands whose clothes are unwearable." Jay said as he thanked Michael, "I''ll get Gun* to drop the stuff off at my place since you''ll be coming over after hitting the clubs." He stopped for a moment and took out his phone and told Gun to come to Fit. ____________________________________________Elder Jace: Michael calls him Elder to show respect towards Jay''s grandfather. Fit: Shoe store that has any shoes from any brands. (it''s not a real life store so don''t go searching for it.) Gun: A member of the FL who has taken care of Jay since when Jace brought him home. CH 12 "Jay you called?" Gun arrived at Fit wearing a short sleeved shirt and shorts which showed his tattooed Arms, which were hella muscular more then enough for you to say ''don''t look at him or else I''d me crushed by his pinky!'' He was a few inches taller then Jay and Michael. Jay was 183cm and Michael at 185cm but Gun was 192cm which only made him look like a total monster. "This shop has pretty nice shoes I should get some for my nephew." He said as he looked around the store. "These Valentino Camo studs look nice do you have size 8 or 9? If you do ring me up!" He just took the shoes and clothes from Jay and left with a simple wave. "I think Gun got bigger guns* since the last time I saw him!" Michael nugged Jay as he stared at the retreating back of Gun. "If you said that he is only 29 I wouldn''t believe it!" "But he is 29." Jay said. "Tomorrow he is going to come with me to school to help me with things since I can''t do things I used to be able to do." AHHHH!!!! The two turned towards the scream and saw a guy closing the bank down as he held a gun demanding money. Seeing that Jay rushed over into the bank and Michael hesitantly following right behind. "EVERYBODY ON THE FUCKING FLOOR!!" the man shouted shooting a couple of shot upwards to show that the gun was real. Everyone panicked as they hurriedly lay on ground. "IF WE SEE YOU TAKE OUT YOUR PHONE YOUR GONNA DIE." He wasn''t alone there were two others who were busy going around with bags collecting cash. Just as they were about to leave the sirens of the police sounded and through a megaphone came the Police chief''s voice. "You are surrounded. I suggest you give up and serve your consequences." The robbers swore and grabbed the nearest person who happened to be Michael and pointed a gun to his head. "I HAVE A HOSTAGE AND IF YOU DON''T LET US GO HE WILL DIE!" Jay seeing the fright in Michael''s eyes got up. "Can I volunteer as the hostage instead of taking the well built young man you should instead take me who has a broken leg so I can''t run and struggle." This kid is CRAZY! the robber nodded and threw Michael out the way and grabbed Jay who was crippled in the eyes of peers. Then the four head out of the bank as the police readied their snipers who couldn''t take down the robber''s since they had a hostage. Jay smirked and told the Police to lower their guns. "Everybody lower your guns! get a ambulance ready!" The robber who overheard was confused were they going to shoot even if it mean potentially killing the hostage? Jay put his hands up and quickly chopped the gun out of the robber''s hands took the gun off safety and pointed it at the two robbers who didn''t realize their gun had the safety on. Jay grinned this was the worst robbery in the history of robbery! He just casually limped over to the taller and more built one of the robbers and opened his mouth to speak. "Give me your guns now or you''ll regret that your ever alive." The robber laughed as he tried to pulled the trigger only if it pulled... Jay shot the guy''s foot and signaled for the police to arrest the three monkeys that tried to rob a bank. ___________________________________ **To say you have big guns or he''s guns got bigger means that his biceps have gotten bigger. CH 13 "Jay! Why are you so reckless! and how many times have I told you to keep your glasses on when going out in public just as a 15 year old!" Jay put his phone 2 inches away from his ear as Gun shouted. "You gonna be dead when I pick you up for school tomorrow. Oh and Boss is going to hear about this too." Gun then hung up shaking his and with a sigh. It was not all over the news but word got out as bystanders took videos and photos of what happened and uploaded it on social media. Jay had gotten out with no wounds and was heading home with Michael. He had to change into something more suitable for going to clubs. So he changed into his off white outfit he had bought to look like an edgy 21st century young adult, put on his Balenciaga slip ons and hopped back in the Lamborghini and headed for the biggest club in the city. When the doorman saw that the two teens came in a expensive car he just let them in without ID. "May I get you guys a drink?" the bartender asked. "I''ll get whiskey." Michael said he was going to drink like there is no tomorrow. "Give me a Martini." Jay said "and a shot of vodka." "Alright then I''ll get you drinks ready." The bartender carved a beautiful diamond out of ice and served Michael''s whiskey and the shot of vodka first before getting the Martini ready. When they both had a fill of drinks they headed up to the VIP lounges where they would get escorts. To their surprise they found Gun talking to a famous oil tycoon. Gun had noticed them excused himself and came straight to the two underage teens. "What are you two doing here? Where are your glasses? You have school tomorrow! Go home before I call your dad and your grandpa!" He chased the two boys out of the club and went about his business. Jay and Michael strolled back home and fell asleep on the couch. That club is dangerous now... CH 14 Early next morning at exactly 6am Gun woke the two wasted kids up with a gunshot. Michael jumped for cover while Jay just kept sleeping. "Jay wake up little man or I''ll throw you into a pool of nitrogen." Gun said lifting him up. "Alright alright, I''m awake." Jay said as he headed for a shower. He took a nice cool shower and with only a towel around his waist came out. He already knew what he would wear. His favorite Valentino Gray Rock Stud hoodie, the re edition tiger print t shirt, Balenciaga sweatpants and headed down to pick out a shoe. "Jay, are you ready? we are heading for breakfast." Gun said "Michael left already." They grabbed a quick breakfast at the same store that Jay and Michael went to for skewers after that Gun drove straight to the staff parking at the school. "Why are you parking here? This is staff only." the gate keeper stopped them. "I''m the new student teacher for 2-A." Jay looked at Gun surprised, and Gun winked at Jay telling him not to worry. The gatekeeper reluctantly let them in as it was already 7:40am students should be arriving soon and he had to switch posts with the gatekeeper of the front gates. "Are you actually my new student teacher?" "Yeah why would I lie? If I''m not a student teacher can I go as a student?" "Nevermind student teacher it is..." ------ "Today I introduce you to our new student teacher. He''s going to be here for a year and alittle longer perhaps." Ms.Vich lightly patted Gun on the back she was perhaps flirting with him. "Yeah I''m the new student teacher like she just said all of you have to call me Mr.G. I''m not experienced in teaching but I''m here to learn so take it easy on me." Gun then shot a cheesy smile at the class and the girls screamed. They had just been blessed with a good looking strong muscular young teacher God has not givin up on them yet! CH 15 Just as first period was over the girls from other classes came to see what Gun looked like. In school rumors sure spread fast in school... I hate to hear there high pitched screams ringing in my ears so I pull out my headphones and tune in to some music. Lunch came around not too quick and I avoided Gun and went out for skewers with Michael but when I came back I was face to face with a pissed off Gun but then, he suddenly grinned which made it more frightening because him grinning when he was mad meant he just thought of a way to teach me a lesson. Then I remembered, today we have a joined gym class with the sophomores and seniors. My class and Michael''s class was going to do some physical evaluation tests. Surely Gun won''t be giving the class a hard time...right? As I think this the bell rings that marks the start of the afternoon periods like last time I get ready to change. I strip off my comfortable clothes when Gun comes in. "I heard guys change in class. Since I have no idea whether the staff room is for females or males I''m going to change here. Hope you guys don''t mind." I knew why he was here. He was checking up on whether I kept my body in shape or not. I was in the middle of taking off my shirt when Gun came in and I sighed and took off the rest of my clothes when Gun just shouted out of nowhere. "Hey Jay you''ve been working out huh? Oh and your tattoo looks like it healed up nice you got it recently right?" Gun said lifting my left arm for a better look. "A white tiger and blue dragon huh? You wanna see my dragon and tiger?" He was the one who gave me the tattoo... I had no interest since I have already seen Gun''s tattoos and the fact that I am in my boxers with my leg in a cast was very awkward. "No thanks." Gun smirked at my reply and left. The guys in my class was now staring at me as I slowly regained my senses and put on my gym clothes. CH 16 I went out on the fields and Michael waved at me telling me to come. Since I can''t run I sat out for the running test and the beep test but I had to do the other ones that required only the upper body like chin ups and push ups. Girls went first, the average score was a mere 3. with just about every girl only doing 3 or less with only maybe the ones in sports clubs doing about 7 or 8. It was the boy''s turn they all did it in groups of 5 while the girls went for chin ups and the boys had to do as many as we can and when the teacher will count from one up and we had to keep going till you can''t do anymore. I went with the last group of boys called the ''redemption'' group and the group had people from sports clubs who are to raise the average higher then other classes. Michael got down right nest to me wile the other 2 boys went beside Michael, then suddenly Gun came beside me. "I want to give this a shot too." Mr.Toth gave a mocking smile and started. I had to make sure I don''t put too much weight on my left leg as I did my push ups. After we reached 20 all the boys including Michael were looking tired and sweating a lot. Of course Gun and I did push ups nearly everyday so we can easily do 70 if I really wanted I could do over 200. The guys dropped one after another while Gun and I kept going I got up at the count of 70 since I had to do chin ups after, with the cast adding to my body weight. "Why did you quit?" Gun asked dissatisfied at my number. "You could have done at least 100." "100 my ass I still have the chin ups." I said heading over to the bars. The girls were already done and just talking amongst themselves under the shade. The girls couldn''t do even one pull up. "Jay, Michael your turn." Mr.Toth waved them over yawning. And of course Gun joined too. "Hey Jay how about we go at it full power?" Gun said taking off his shirt of course I wouldn''t take the challenge. "If you can beat me I''ll get you a leave of absence for the rest of the week." Nevermind not taking the challenge! I smirked as I took of my glasses and shirt. "Your going down." CH 18 ??? P.O.V The night was cold, and the cool breeze that came to accompany the night chilled me to my bones I clenched my arm that was cut. I needed to find a pharmacy and get medicine quick but I didn''t know where I was since I ran without looking where I was going. It was past dark and not many people were outside. "Gun. Hurry up you take longer then someone with a broken leg.!" I see a young guy rushing a dangerous looking guy to hurry. It looks like they have a car with a decent sized trunk I''ll hide there surely they would drive to some main streets. They head into the small italian restaurant after I make sure they are gone and head to open up the trunk. This is a high end car too bad the trunk is easy to open. With just a click I got the trunk open in no less then a minute or two. I jump in and the warmth of the trunk welcomes me and I doze off without realizing. ... "Hey there is a girl in the trunk! She seems to be hurt!" My consciousness comes back with the help of a voice. I keep my eyes closed and pretend I''m still out who know what they will do when I wake up. "Jay her arm is cut pretty deeply and if it''s not treated she might die from blood loss." How do I get out of here? And where the hell am I? Just then I hear a different voice. "Get the doctor then." I slightly move and that brought the voice closer and I can feel a presence right by my side. Then suddenly I''m not touching the bottom of the trunk and instead I''m in the air and put down on a soft bed. "Her arm will be fine but she can''t move her arm for atleast a week or so. and you gotta change the bandages when you can see blood seeping through. By the way who is she?" Right they don''t know who I am. "Hey girl I know your awake tell me who you are." He knows! No point in hiding now. "Your pretty sharp." I open my eyes and sit upright on the bed. "My name is Amber." "Okay then how old are you and why were you injured inside my car trunk?" "I was running from a group called Ice? They guy was apparently the leader. I escaped and found a good car trunk to hide in so I hid in your trunk. I''m turning 17 in about 3 months." The guy with a lot of tattoos told the doctor to get out and called a young guy that looked older then me came in. "Her name is Amber and according to her she is targeted by Ice. And she''s 17 just 1 year older then you." The tattoo guy winks while the youngster glares at him before coming to me. That''s when I notice his cast and him limping with crutches. He holds out a hand. "Hi Amber my name is Jay and this is Gun the owner of the car trunk you were in. And just like you I got hurt by Ice." he said pointing to his left leg it looked pretty bad with a cast and all. "Are you perhaps the young miss of the Wingman''s*?" ___________________________________ Wingman: A mysterious mob well known by other mobs but not much in the public. CH 19 Jay''s P.O.V I had nice dinner at my favorite restaurant and when I came home I felt a presence somewhere and I opened the trunk of Gun''s car to find a young girl with a bloody arm shivering in the trunk unconscious. I couldn''t just throw her out so I called the doctor over and carried her carefully to the couch bed. She seemed to be conscious but she didn''t move or open her eyes. The doctor said she''d be fine as long as she doesn''t put her arm through anything I thank him and he goes. I turn back to the girl being questioned by Gun who already found out she was awake. "I am the princess of the Wingman. Who are you?" "This is Gun and I am Jay from the Four Legends." I pull out my hand for a handshake and she doesn''t leave me hanging. "Nice to meet you Miss Amber." "Drop the miss I ain''t that older then you." She explains what happened, where she was attacked and asked us to call her right hand man. So I call Felix who seems relieved after coming and seeing that the Princess is okay they thank me and ask for my business card since I don''t have one I give them Gun''s with my number on it. "Seems like Ice is after the Wingman for not joining their pact." Gun breaks the silence. "I don''t think you''ll stay out of the matter between them...Jay if you get in between them you''re putting the whole family on the Ice''s kill list." "Who say that I will announce my step in? she''s 17 and young enough to go to my school. I''ll just skip a grade, join Michael''s class and ask her to be under my care till I wipe out those Frozen princess bitches." I say making gestures along with my speech. "Jay, you''ve got a crush on her. Don''t even deny it!" Gun says patting my back. "It''s late Jay go to sleep you still got school. You gotta face all the girls that saw your half naked body and bulging muscles." I hate the fact that Gun was laughing at me. Once I get this stupid cast off I will settle the scores one and for all. CH 20 Jay''s P.O.V (still) The week flew by and it was Saturday morning I had a late start since I had nothing planned today before a phone call came in. It was from grandpa. "Hey Jay how is your leg?" "It''s been better." "I got a call from Felix the right hand of the Wingman''s young princess. He said that he wants to form a brotherhood bond with us. He also mentioned something about the princess being interested in you as well." "Yeah long story short I helped her." Gun sees me on the phone and leaves my brunch on the coffee table in front of the TV. "Once you get the bond sealed get them to send Amber to my school it''s easier to keep an eye out for her there and I get to have a taste of the Ice''s blood." "Now, now you still have a useless leg and you are not allowed to get your identity revealed." He is warning me to not blow my cover. "Yeah about that I wouldn''t have to if you can put me and Amber in Michael''s class. Surely you can manage that right gramps?" I plead. He reluctantly gives me the okay and I get to my meal when it is still warm. "Gun I want to get this stupid cast off already. It''s been a week and you know that my injuries never took more then 10 days to heal." Gun looks at me with cold eyes for some reason. "You gotta be kidding me Jay. You and your stupid healing ability." Gun takes the cast on my leg in his hand and crushes it instantly. "Let me take a look." He then rips the remains of the cast and starts inspecting my leg which only had a faint scar from the bullet wound. "Your leg seems okay...try walking." I nod and get up to walk I feel awkward at first but there is no pain or anything so I try jumping on my left leg. Gun nods in approval gives me the okay. Now I was finally cast free. ------ Ever since I was tortured by my own aunt and uncle, I discovered my ability to heal faster then normal people. I small cut would be gone in just a few minutes and a completely shattered bone from a bullet would heal in less then a week leaving behind barely any visible scar. I guess I should thank the asshole and his bitch for helping me discover this amazing and convenient ability. Thanks to my IQ I mastered western and eastern medicine and created a remedy for any type of injury and the remedy would heal the wound in just a few hours. Perfect for fast healing, and it was portable too the first prototypes were tested out on enemies we captured almost dead and it worked with some side effects like swelling and severe infection, but I stayed up all night for a month straight to perfect for usage. At that time all I can think about is how I can carry the pain of others with me instead. Thanks to the remedy I got everyone that were injured back on their feet in no time and they all thanked me, pledged royalty to me and, and grandpa. If only I could have finished the remedy sooner. I might have been able to save mom and even dad too. If only I didn''t hesitate back then they would still be alive right? A bitter smile made it''s appearance on my face. CH 21 It has been just alittle over a month since he met Amber and she was moving into the guestroom beside his room. Gun was out shopping for ingredients for dinner and Jay was helping her with her stuff. Surprisingly she only had a a box or two of clothes and shoes, no furniture or other things, and just a laptop, tablet and a bunch of instruments. Since she only had very little stuff she brought Jay was finished moving all her stuff and was relaxing on the couch watching TV. He heard a loud bang from the room and ran to see what happened. When he opened the door he saw that Amber fell and she knocked her guitar over. "Oops." she said as she picked up the guitar and put it back in it''s stand. Jay let out a sigh of relief as he went back down and was walking down the stairs when suddenly the staircase handle that had a screw loose broke and Jay fell of the stairs and dropped head first on the floor. The fall was about the height of from the second floor. thankfully he was almost half way down so it wasn''t a full fledged fall from 19 meters. Amber heard the the thud and came out to see a broken stairwell handle and Jay who is unconscious on the floor. She pieced together the puzzle and called the paramedics right away. -Jay''s P.O.V- I woke up with my head spinning and the smell of disinfectants hit me hard. I noticed I had bandages on my head and a I.V drip on my arm. I recalled the events that had happened right, I took a fall from the stairs and landed straight on my head. I saw the nurse come in with a tray of hospital food. "How are you doing dear?" She was old enough to be my mom but she looked like my grandmother. "Here eat something you have been out cold for almost 2 days." I opened my mouth to say something but no voice came out. That was weird why can''t I speak? "Right we took a scan of your brain. You brain suffered a huge trauma so you probably won''t be talking for a few days or longer." I was flabbergasted when she said that. I can''t fucking talk? No way am I not talking for more then an hour. I force a word out. "Bullshit." This is total bullshit! CH 22 I wasn''t going to just accept the fact that I won''t be able to speak. I''m fine speaking now after all the stupid things I tried saying and I can speak just fine so fuck the trauma. Where did they put my glasses? I call the nurse for my glasses and she brings Gun and Amber into the room with her instead. Amber spoke. "You haven''t touched any of the food. I figured you didn''t like the food here so I brought some homemade egg and chicken congee that Gun made." She opened up a container and gave me a spoon to eat. "So while your eating I''ll update you on what happened. One of our house keepers was hired by Ice to make some screws loose on the staircase and the chandelier in your room. We found the guy and he''s in the ''interrogation'' room we are waiting for your orders." "Let me finish this and get dressed we are heading over there now." I said picking up the pace and just picking up the bowl and drinking it instead. "Get me some clothes." Gun nodded and went out to get clothes I turn to Amber. "You don''t have to come I will get someone to drop you off at my office it should be safe there." Amber is about to say something when Gun comes in, hands me a olive green hoodie, a white hip shirt and light brown sweatpants I take them and go into the bathroom and change. "Let''s go. Gun drop Amber off at the office first." He nods and we head out to the parking lot where I see grandpa. "Grandpa? what are you doing here?" He hands me a pair of my favorite Chrome hearts glasses. "I figured you needed these since your other one broke. and I will be meeting this traitor housekeeper too." "Why not. Gun go with Amber to the office I''ll go with Grandpa." I give a little kiss on Amber''s forehead and cheek. "I''ll be back soon." I was turning to leave when she pulls me back and gives me a little peck on the lips. "Love you." she says as she went along with Gun. I stood their frozen at the spot my hand over my mouth. CH 23 "So Jay how is your relationship with Amber going?" Jace broke the silence in the car as Jay drove. Jay paused for moment before speaking. "I''m thinking of tying the not once she graduates." Jace let out a happy chuckle, his grandson who was a nerd, and a cold stoic person has found the one and is even thinking about proposing to her! It was a good idea to send Jay to the school. "Is our mob getting along with Wingman''s?" "Yeah all our guys are happy we have another pact with a gang, they are already partying and going out on missions and our mercenaries are recruiting their mercenaries." Jay nodded and finally pulled up to the hidden location where they bring in traitors. ... "Bullshit. I don''t know who this Jing guy is!" the housekeeper was screaming at the top of his lungs to everyone in the room. "Funny, cause before we killed Jing Lau he told us a certain housekeeper is one their side and that Boss''s grandson would take a fall." He leaned in close to housekeeper''s ear. "Even if he gave us valuable information his brain couldn''t take a few bullets before blowing up. If we are in a good mood and you spill the beans we will let you go." Jay took a glance at the man bloodied and bruised, the man''s clothes were soaked in his own blood, and yet the man was showing hesitation to speak. "I will give you five seconds before we tie you up to the back of my car and we can go out for a ''nice drive''." He blond haired, brown eyed, guy was he man who handled traitors and he never failed to get information out of them. Giving him the name ''Talker''. "5.....4.....3...." he started counting down and the man panicked. "I''ll tell you everything!" the man now shook that they weren''t joking. He was facing the door to the reaper. "I was promised a high rank and fast money. And all I had to do was loosen a few screws here and there, cut some ropes holding up the chandelier." The man looked to the door''s direction only to see the cold and merciless eyes mixed with a frightening aura that would instantly bring a panic attack, and that aura was surrounding a certain individual. Jay just stood there, arms crossed, leaning on the door. "Who was the guy you talked to?" Talker snapped the man back to his senses. "It was a man called Liu Lin." Talker nodded and pulled out his gun, and pointed to the man''s head the man tried to free himself but the ropes only dug into his wrists and ankles. Then Jay finally spoke. "Pay it back ten folds." CH 24 They were at a 170 meter building roof top, the man made Jay fall from about 17 meters so they were going to drop him at ten times the height. The man struggled, screamed and did everything he can just to get away to no avail. "Now, if you survive this fall, we leave you be. You can do whatever you want for the rest of your life." Talker grabbed the man by the ropes and got ready to throw him. "3....You know what fuck it you ain''t getting a countdown." and threw the man off the roof to his death. "What should we do with the mess?" He turned to Jace who was watching silently beside Jay. "Leave it be, the police would blame Ice, since they are the most infamous criminal gang." with that he turned and left the building into the car and drove off. Jay was walking down the busy streets, instead of taking the car he wanted to walk a little bit around since his office wasn''t that far away. He saw a jewelry shop and saw the Cartier love rings. Then he thought of amber and her slender fingers, then he imagined the ring on her ring finger. And before he realized he was in the store and the employee was talking to him. "What are you looking for today sir?" Jay pointed to the rings he saw. "I''ll get them out for you." She went to the back and brought out the same models in a brand new box. "These are the same models." "What size are the rings?" "I believe they are size 6." "Perfect I want all three, and I want the platinum one in size 9. Oh and give me the models with 3 diamonds." "Surely." The employee carried the boxes to the cashier and scanned them. "The gold and silver is $4400 each, the white gold is $4750 and the platinum with no diamonds is $4600. The total will be $18,150 how would you like to pay?" Jay handed her his black amex card* she widened her eyes in surprised and she took the card from him. "Thank you for your purchase here you go sir." He nodded and took the bag with the rings. The face of Amber anxiously waiting for him made his heart ache but beat more faster. ____________________________________________ Black amex card: Id the Black american expressed card given to only those with high incomes and those only able to get one are millionaires and billionaires. CH 25 Jay took out his glasses and put them on. He forgot how comfortable it was to have his glasses, he didn''t have to worry about him swearing nor being pretty aggressive. This symptom of the two split personalities showed up after his parent''s death. It struck him harder then the lightning of Thor and it brought him to his knees for the first time in his life. He was told that it was an unfortunate car crash but he never believed it, ever since he saw a gun wound on his mom''s corpse. "Hey look at this nerdy kid!" He had turned at the wrong street and was now in a alley way, in front of him was 3 heavily tattooed, ripped men. He noticed the infamous sword stuck in a iceberg, he knew that tattoo too well. They were one of Ice''s lower rank men but this wasn''t Ice''s territory. "Hey what''s with the bag? a scrawny snob like you got some jewelry?" One of the men tried to snatch the bag out of Jay''s hands but Jay ran full speed out of the alley without turning back. "You-!" ------ "Jay! Your back finally I was just about to escape this boring place! What''s with your office it has nothing but books, workout equipment and papers; lots of paper!" Amber was not the gentle, girly type after all, being around tough and rough men rubbed off on Amber and she was a total sexy, kick-ass girl you wouldn''t want to mess with. But in Jay''s eyes she was a delicate little flower that blooms only when he''s there. "What''s that?" She had noticed the luxurious looking bag in Jay''s hand. "Oh I got you a little something. I didn''t know what color you would like so I got all the colors they had." He took out and opened the boxes and set them out in front of Amber who''s eyes were sparkling like the diamonds in the ring. "It''s a love ring I got them for you and one for me as a promise ring for now..." Jay looked away as his face was flushing. "Jay, I don''t know how to thank you! How did you know I loved the Cartier love rings?" She put her arms around Jay in a hug and gave him a peck on the cheek. Jay was 183cm and she was 178cm tall enough to be a model so she really didn''t need to tip toe on her toes. Or she thought. Jay was still growing, doctors estimated a height of 198cm to 220cm for Jay by the age of 20. "My goodness you''ve gotten taller then I thought!" All of this lovey-dovey stuff and the only person uncomfortable was the matchmaker himself, standing in the corner, lonely and jealous that this kid he looked after like his own brother is first to get a fiancee! He is in his late 20''s with no girlfriend in 7 years, he was at an age where he should have a few kids! "I hate my life..." CH 26 A man burst in the room out of breath, and wounded, a closer look at him and he was Felix! "Princess, Jay, the place is surrounded by the whole Ice." They took a look out and Felix was right, Ice was here at his office! But how? this office is hidden only the family- his aunt and uncle! "I shouldn''t have let them live!" Jay let go of Amer and finally noticed Gun in the corner sulking. "Gun! contact gramps, I need to ask for reinforcement and back up just in case something goes wrong." Jay tilted a book and the book shelf slid revealing a door he pressed the pin and opened the door revealing a weapon room. "Hey Felix how badly are you hurt?" "Just a cut from bullets here and there I can still fight." Jay tossed Felix a Beretta M9 hand gun and a Steyr SPP Handgun along with 3 magazines for each gun. "Thanks." "Gun, you know your guns are in here take them I allow you to mobilize." Jay took his custom set of handguns and an FN SCAR he clicked in his belt gun mounts, and a bulletproof vest that had pockets for storing magazines. "Ambie your choice, I wouldn''t want for you to fight but it''s your choice." Amber went towards the weapons and picked the semi automatic pistol and an M4. They took position. Felix was guarding the door while Jay and Gun got the M16A2 with scopes ready to snipe. There were about 800 to 1100 men in Ice ever since they lost a great deal of men to the police. "Jay, the Reaper''s on the way with our and the Wingman''s best men." The Four Legends had 4 living legends and the if the four came, not even an entire army could stop them. "He told us to hold out for about 5 minutes." Gun ducked as a bullet hit the bullet proof window and cracked the glass. "I''m heading to the roof." Jay dashed up the stairs skipping four at a time. The building was only had 2 floors which is not that great for a height advantage. But the building was 20 meters high. Jay took ducked and silently went over to the ledge. "Gun!" as soon as Gun heard his cue, he sprayed the perpetrators with an AK-47 only taking about a few seconds to reload, most of the men didn''t even have a chance to use their gun to shoot back. Jay was on the roof fast pace sniping the ones who were taking out their guns. most of the men were dead, and as he thought they broke the door and came in the building. "Felix be careful! Gun there better not be even a scratch or one strand of hair missing from Amber!" Gun face palmed at Jay''s words but quickly turned to the door this time and got cover from the flipped coffee table designed so that it can take even a .50 caliber sniper''s shot. Amidst all that five minutes had passed and the four had arrived. CH 27 Jace arrived with three other men, one who was nicknamed Ripper wore a suit and was carrying two swords that hanged on his shoulders and a belt with a pistol. Ripper was skilled in swords and had a doctor''s degree hence that similarity to Jack the Ripper gave him the name ''Ripper''. He was half Japanese and half Chinese, dark brown hair a little darker then Jay''s and he had light brown eyes. Next to him who looked like a crazy maniac people call him the ''Floppy Psycho''. His actions and his floppy movements made him look like he was on drugs or something. "Aye! Floppy, let it lose mate! Boss said we can go for a barbie later in the arvo!" Shadow was an aussie even though he lived in Japan for most of his life, he was born in aussie. "Ripper stop being a bludger and go blue with these dates!" (What he said was: ''Ripper stop being a lazy ass and fight with the assholes!'') The remaining Ice was no match for them and was wiped out in an instant and the four were going up the stairs to get everyone out. "Aye Joey (he means Jay) your okay! Good job on the sniping! Here I brought lollies for you." Shadow greeted Jay with the name he calls Jay which is Joey*. "Amber you doing okay?" Jay completely ignored Shadow and went over to Amber checking to see if she was hurt. "Gramps we going for a barbecue?" "A barbecue yes, but it''s at your school the Dean told me I can bring some friends. So the four of us and you four are going right now, we are late." "Dude we pretending we didn''t just wipe out Ice and that there is corpses everywhere... and go celebrate our victory!" They weren''t disgusted at all the dead bodies and their appetite was only stronger at the thought of the barbecue. Floppy isn''t the only crazy there. ____________________________________________ Joey: an Australian slang for ''baby kangaroo'' CH 28 "Ah! Jay you''re here!" when the eight arrived at the school with two luxurious cars the dean came to greet them personally, and invite them to the section that had high quality meat in instead of the others that have just low to mid quality meats. "pleasure to meet you Mr.Xaiver." "Oh no it''s my pleasure MrLin." Jace held out his hand for a handshake and the dean quickly pulled out his hand. "If you don''t mind I brought some of Jay''s friends and of course mine as well." the Dean lifted his head only to be faced with some scary looking people with an aura that chilled him to the bones. He saw the two swords on Ripper''s back and opened his mouth say ''no weapons allowed'' but his voice was gone. "Oh right go put your visible weapons in the car guys, we don''t want to scare and disturb the students." Gun, Ripper, Felix, Shadow and Floppy reluctantly got rid of the ''visible weapons'' they still had their hidden pistols just in case. The Dean hurried and guided them to the VIP tables with other important, famous and rich parents and relatives all gathered around some sipping some wine and champagne talking to each other. "Hey Amber is your dad coming too?" Jay asked Amber. "He said he was already here, oh there he is! Dad!" A tall figure even taller then Jace who was 180cm, walked over with a soft expression on his face seeing that his daughter was safe and sound. "Hey Honey bun, Jace, Jay thank you for protecting my daughter." he bowed 90 degrees and thanked Jace and Jay. "I want to talk more about the collaboration project we are working on." he gave Amber a look that said ''some privacy please'' and Amber took Jay''s hand and lead him away. Jace did the same for the guys but they were already gone and was stuffing themselves with the meat. "Jay which ring should I put on?" Amber took out the ring boxes that Jay gave her before the whole Ice gang came. "Let me see the one that you have." She lifted Jay''s hands to see the same love ring but no diamond and the metal seemed to be silver or platinum. "You can wear whatever you like the best." Jay took the white gold ring, grabbed Amber''s right hand and gently slid the ring on her beautiful slender fingers. "I think this suits you the best, future wifey." Amber''s face flushed red and she turned away from him unintentionally. "Should I give you another name to call? how about babe? or wifey? no maybe-" his words were caught off by Amber''s lips that launched them self onto his in a fraction of a secound. His arm wrapped around Amber''s waist and his other arm pulled her closer for a more passionate kiss. ------ Meanwhile a man who was the leader of Ice who had lost everything to Jay was gritting his teeth uncontrollably while walking back and fourth in a dimly lit room. "Enjoy whatever sweet moments you''ve got now little punk! I will take everything away!" CH 29 [ICE is down! The infamous criminal organization was found wiped out in what seemed to happen was a gun fight.] [Infamous gang has lost!] News articles were popping up everywhere the next day. And of course at school all the kids were talking about was Ice and their downfall. But the question that came up was who took out the whole gang? no one would know that 3 of the 8 that took down Ice was right in school with them. At lunch it was more rowdy as kids from other classes came together to talk about the incident. "Amber what would you like to eat?" Jay asked, since he was transferred one grade up and was put in the same class Amber they got to do everything together. Of course rumors of them dating spread, but they got no evidence, so the guys kept confessing to her one after another getting rejected no matter how good looking or rich they were. "I know a good place just across the street from the school." The guys in the class were eyeing him with threatening looks. Just who was this nerdy looking kid inviting their goddess to lunch? With his scrawny looks no way Amber was going to- "Then what are we waiting for let''s go Jay." Holy shit. She accepted. Jay had agreed to wear the ring to school but not let anyone know at school about their relationship until Amber decides to announce. "Dad said he was going to hold an engagement party for us soon." Jay nodded as he already got word of that from his future father-in-law. "When should we hold it?" It was about 2 months before school was over, Jay didn''t really need to graduate and Amber apparently was ahead of class by a couple of grades and would pass any SAT with a perfect score. "When we graduate, I will propose to you with flowers and an actual ring we pick out." Little did they know the guy who lost everything to them was planning away to destroy everything Jay holds dear to. CH 30 Jay and Amber had lunch in the skewer place Michael took Jay. After eating they jumped the front gates and dashed into the building before anyone can yell at them. Next period was PE and Amber went to go change. The guys wanted to take this chance to push Jay around and make fun of him but their juniors told them Jay had a built body and tattoos which made them hesitate, but the school''s top delinquent didn''t care. Amber was going to be his not some nerd''s. "Hey nerdy! What were you doing with my future girl?" Jay turned to the voice to be face to face with a guy who was short that he had to look down. "Who are you looking down on?" "Well you are quite short and the only way for me to see you is to look downwards. But if you can step back I wouldn''t have to." "You little-" The door opened and Amber came in with a bunch of girls. "What the what are you girls doing in here? can''t you see that guys are changing?" About five girls came in following right after Amber. Amber didn''t care for the half naked guys and came straight to Jay. "Jay help me out. These girls said that their boyfriend could beat mine up so I said that my boy friend has a 8 pack and was buff. I''m sorry but it just slipped out! Now Strip!" Amber said grabbing Jay''s shirt. "No way this nerd has a nice body. I bet these fat asses here has a better body then him!" one of the girls laughed as they head over to their boyfriends who were also half naked. The five girls were from well off families and their boyfriends were well off and was in a sports team. "Look at my boyfriend''s body! He''s been working out so that he can show me his abs!" "Jay hurry up and strip!" Amber tugged on Jay''s clothes one more, "Come on show them the goods!" "You want me to strip? Are you sure you want to do this-" Amber''s hands grabbed his glasses and pulled them off of his face. [Playboy Activate] "Oh I''ll strip but only if you give me a kiss." Amber rolled her eyes and gave him a light kiss was pulling away when Jay grabbed her and pulled her in for a good french kiss. The delinquent who watched his ''future girlfriend'' get kissed by some weird nerd who suddenly changed after his glasses were off was now pissed. "YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT!" "Hold up man let me fulfill my promise to my babe." Jay took his shirt off exposing his perfect body as well as his tattoo. "Happy?" He looked at Amber in a loving gaze completely disregarding the pissed off dude in his boxers. The girls that were flaunting their boyfriends were a surprised look on their faces as they looked at Jay''s body. Their boyfriends can''t even be compared! "Here." Amber gave Jay his glasses. "Thanks Jay." Jay''s face changed as he quickly put on his change of clothes. "Hey girls what did I say?" "No way! Even if he has a better body doesn''t mean that he is bigger or better!" This was getting out of hand. But they were chill and smirking. They are serious aren''t they? the girls are only 18 but they sound like those sluts who has had their share of different men! "Amber your not gonna make me strip naked and take out my...You know what!" Amber smirked at the girls. Someone must have gave her some weird drug, this ain''t the Amber Jay knew...but when could Amber have been fed a drug? "I''ve seen yours already no need to be shy this is a guaranteed win!" She had seen his... when? how? where? what is wrong with her today? "Hey guys strip!" CH 31 The guys (the presumed boyfriends of the girls) striped to their boxers while Jay stood there not moving an inch. "Come on Jay!" Amber was out of it! Jay had to do something. "Are you sure you want other girls see me naked? I thought I was supposed to be yours only...?" Amber froze and thought, she couldn''t let other girls see Jay''s naked body! "Never mind...I''m sorry Jay for making you strip." Amber''s eyes are like a sad puppy. "Let''s go don''t strip like these shameless dickheads." "Wait I gotta change you go out first take the bitches with you." Did he just call them a bitch? "Bye Amber see you later." He waved and made sure she was out of sight before changing into the rest of his training outfit and headed out. ------ "Today we will have a special guest who is here to teach some self defense to everyone." Mr.Toth pointed to the female and male standing like a statue. "We have a women instructor for the girls and the men instructor for the guys now off you go!" Since the class only had a total of 16 students half girls and half boys they only needed one instructor for each gender. "Alright my name is Tyler, and right now I am in the [S] army." The army had two different types the normal army where people apply to join and the one that Tyler was in can only be joined if hand picked by the Special operators. "First I gotta access what level each and everyone of you are in when it comes to fighting. So everyone line up and come with me with everything you''ve got." Tyler got into a similar stance to a karate stance. The delinquent made the first move charging in with a barrage of punches which were all blocked and dodged by Tyler without him breaking a sweat. When the guy stopped to change his combos, Tyler knocked him back with a flick on the forehead. "nice try." He then bowed to an incoming attack from the back, grabbed the arm and used it as a lever and throw the guy over his back onto the floor winded. "not there yet." the five boyfriends of the girls charged at him at once but had no coordination making this so called ''team'' was as useless and weak as a band of six year olds. Tyler just had to jump an astounding 2 meters and the guys all hit each other, and they were all cursing at each other. All that was left was Jay who looked pretty nerdy and weak but a second glance at him, great portion of muscle, a bad-ass looking tattoo, and those broad shoulders too! Just then the female instructor was thrown on the ground by Amber who knocked the instructor unconscious. "Are you sure your in the [S] military? With those grade school skills of yours? What a joke! [S] military is nothing but shit." Amber was trash talking the unconscious women. "I''m going to sit back and watch the guys. I hope the male instructor isn''t as horrible as this so-called member of the [S] military!" CH 32 Jay''s P.O.V I watch Amber trash talking and I can''t help but smirk. I thought the [S] military was more capable...I''ll tell gramps to not sponsor or give them any endorsements. Tyler is about to go to Amber so I stop him. "Hey where are you going? I thought we''re going to fight?" He looks back at me in a hostile glare. I give him a taunting smirk which made him lose it. He engaged me in a hand to hand combat in anger...it''s common sense in the military you can not fight in an enraged state. "I thought the basics of the military told the cadets that they shouldn''t fight angry." This guy was swinging his punches and kicks more then it should which is making it way more easier to dodge I don''t even have to block! He''s breathing is rougher about 5 seconds till he slows down dramatically...5...4...3...2...1! I throw a Brazilian kick disguised as just a high kick. As expected, he only saw it as a high kick....too bad... The guy falls to his knees his brain had just been shook. "WOO! I guess we should be the one''s teaching ''self defense'' huh? man I really thought this new military was more then this!" Amber stood up and looked at the wide eyes of surprise looking back at her and Jay. ------ "So the people from [S] forces were not even able to put up a fight longer then a few seconds? haha, it seems like this new military is for little ducklings! Jay what do you think? do they even have talents and room for growth?" "The guy needs to improve his temper. Or should have tried to be born with a decent EQ*." ____________________________________________ EQ: stands for Emotional quotient CH 33 I told grandpa about the [S] military officers that came to school and how weak they were, all he did was laugh at me. Saying that the real high ranks were a force to be reckoned with. All I can think was: ''No way that the high ranks are any better then the ducklings.'' I leave his study and head back to my part of the mansion where I find Amber sleeping on the couch. She must have been waiting up for me...she should have just went to bed it''s already 2 in the morning. I stayed up since I go out for a morning jog at 4, and workout at 5 not much use of sleeping for 2 hours then waking up. I carry Amber into her room and lay her down on her bed. I do some research of the leader of Ice, his name is Richard no last name? He was born into a poor family grew up as a delinquent it seems that his parents were murdered. Just then my phone rings I look at the display to see that it''s a call from Axel. "Hey Jay how are you doing? we haven''t talked for a long time. Did you miss me?" Axel is like a big brother to me, I met him when I was 12 in university I had no friends there but Axel was nice enough to offer friendship. He was currently in Canada, touring with the idol group he was in called ''Oath''. "Hey bro though it''s like early in the morning in Canada not sleeping? The old you I know would sleep till someone wakes you up with a nice cool bucket of ice water." "Dude this idol thing is sure tiring I have to wake up super duper early, work my ass off and sleep late. I might go to modeling instead." He never did the same profession for a long time he usually quit and did something else every month or so. This dude is way too talented so much for talents when you have no interests. "Maybe I will be like you and join a the mafia or something." "Now, now your getting to reckless, your way to soft and breakable to join any tough guy things like the mafia. If you join the yakuza like you always wanted to, make a mistake and you''ll have to cut off your finger and give it to the leader as an apology." "Nevermind I am going to stay as far away from that as possible. Anyways nice talking to ya, I have rehearsals in a few so bye." He hung up without my response this dude... ------ It''s 7 in the morning when I finish my workout and research and I go to wake Amber up. "Wake up Amber it''s time for school." She grunts and gets up hazily and waves me out. I chuckle at her and get dressed in my room. I take out sweatpants and hoodie put them on. I hear a knock on the door and Gun comes in. "You ready Jay? breakfast then school," I walk out the room yawning I should catch up on sleep at school. CH 34 Richard''s P.O.V I got my gun ready, disguise oh right the poison. I take the little tube with a clear liquid in it, I spent all the money I had on this poison, this will knockout anyone if consumed it will give the consumer a dangerously high fever, weakening of bodily functions and possible amnesia. All I have to do is go to that skewer place bribe the owner to put this in that bastard''s drink. The bastard is probably enjoying his days but wait until I strike! Meanwhile with Jay.... ------ He was not in his best mood or state it seemed that his insomnia returned at the worst timing. He tried his best to sleep even going to the infirmary and getting sleeping pills it didn''t help. Lunch hit and he went to the skewer place as told Amber to stay and that he would get the skewers to go instead, he didn''t want something to happen to Amber when he was in a horrible state. He ordered the usual when he noticed that the owner was acting quite weirdly. Wife problems? He brushed it off as some personal problem and took a sip of his favorite ice tea coffee when his head spun and his chest tightened. That''s when he realized that he had been poisoned but it was too late, his consciousness was slipping his world spinning, then finally, pitch black. Richard let out a mocking laugh as he took Jay and headed off to the tight security hotel he bought out for the whole week. He was going to torture Jay till he begged him to kill him. As soon as he got to the hotel he made Jay have more of the poison, he didn''t afford to have Jay wakes up and cause a ruckus. He made sure the ropes he tied Jay with were tight, and hung him upside down on the ceiling above a tub of water he gave Jay just a little of the antidote to wake Jay up. CH 35 Lunch was over Amber was hungry and anxious as Jay wasn''t back, she couldn''t help but tell Gun about it. Gun quickly informed Jace, and took Amber to Jace''s office. "Get our surveillance team to check the street cameras near the school. Go search all the possible places Richard could have access to." The surveillance team found that the cameras were hacked into, and the recordings were wiped. "Damn it! Keep searching he couldn''t have gone that far. If we don''t find and evidence get the police evolved." Jace slammed his fist on the desk in anger, he couldn''t believe the guy''s gut! To mess with the FL, and even kidnap his grandson! ------ Felix was comforting Amber as she had cried her eyes out. It had been 3 days, the police were sill searching all the factories and abandoned building and old places, but to no avail. Just then a call from Gun came in. "We have a lead." Amber''s eyes gained the life that she had lost. "The hotel that we recently bought at an auction, the manager there heard the news and told us that a man who looked like Richard had bought out the hotel for a week." This was it! Jace gathered up the four once again, and a few high rank police officers before heading to the hotel that Richard was seen in. "I believe he is on the top floor room 3301, 3302, 3303 or the penthouse." The manager gave the room keys to Jace. "Ripper you go to 3301 with one of the officers, Shadow to 3302 and Floppy to 3303. Gun and I will check the penthouse." They all headed to different rooms. "Room 3301 is clear sir." "Clear in 3303." "Penthouse is clear." "Boss! 3302, I can''t get in! it seems that it''s this bloody room!" Everyone gathered in front of the room as the police officers tried to pry open the door to no avail. Gun got impatient and tore the door handle opening the door with one strong push. "Jay!" Oh my god....Jace stared at Jay''s body tied up lifeless on the floor, nothing can take back what he just saw. CH 36 3 days before with Richard and Jay..... Jay had just barely managed to open his eyes only to see a upside down Richard sipping on wine a sly grin on his face. Seeing that he was awake Richard got up. "My, my look at the proud Jay, the once incredible Jay in this condition! What a sight to see!" "Shut...up...." Jay''s voice was hoarse and weak, his words slurred together. "What....did...you..-" "What did I do to you? I just bribed some old guy greedy for money to put a little something in your drink. And what did you tell me to do? Shut up?" Richard signed the guy who was watching the whole scene with a grin, the guy got the rope Jay was hanging upside down from and let it go dunking Jay into the water. Pulling him back up for a few seconds before dunking him again and again endlessly. "Stop." Richard stopped the guy and went to Jay who was shaking his head trying to stay conscious. When he got face to face with Jay, Jay spit water he got in his mouth straight to his face. "You LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT!" Richard signaled for a bat and the two men battered Jay this time. And when they were done they took a few sharpened needles and throwing knives and threw them at Jay like he was some target. "You wanna know something?" "I....don''t....give.....a...shit..." He endured the physical pain. "Oh but you will... Your parents how did they die? an accident I guess you have been told, but....Guess what? I KILLED THEM! Guess who gave me the information I needed?" Richard threw his final throwing knife that stuck it self right in Jay''s abdomen. "Your uncle and aunt!" Jay couldn''t help but get angry, his uncle and aunt are traitors! "Fuck.....you..." he spat before being dunked into the water once again. "Leave him hanging let''s go enjoy the beautiful ladies I invited to our penthouse!" ----- The torture continued on progressively getting worse and worse. They gave him rotten food that made him really sick, changed the water to be ice cold, and worst of all, he was told about the truth of his parent''s death. He knew that he saw Richard somewhere. It was when he was brought to his uncle''s house he saw his uncle giving Richard a suitcase full of money and drugs. "Tell me Jay, if Amber got a picture of you and a bunch of girls in bed, what would her reaction be?" Jay smirked. "No matter how beautiful or alluring the girls are, it won''t stand up!" Richard chuckled. "Not possible. It seems like I should really try that! maybe tomorrow!" ".....boss!.....w--" muffled voices were outside the door. Richard got up and head to the door, taking the chance Jay pulled out a throwing knife that had been stuck in his arm and cut the rope. Then he threw the knife at the guy slicing the guy''s throat open. Richard heard the thud and returned into the room when Jay rammed into him. "You little-" Richard took out a gun and shot multiple times. Jay muffled a pained cry, he didn''t want Richard get the satisfaction of hearing his pain Richard came over and forcefully made him drink the rest of the poison. Before the poison kicked in, looked down at his body, the right side of his chest, his abdomen both had a bullet in. He was losing a lot of blood to quickly, he heard his mother''s voice. ''Jay, you''ll grow to be a fine man like your father. Love you...'' the world was pitch black and all he could see was endless darkness. CH 37 Where am I? Jay looked down at his hands. I have small hands... "Jay! watch out!" a mother''s voice cried out just as he was knocked back by a force. "Dear be easy on him, he''s just 3!" "Haha, my bad son, when you get stronger enough to catch the ball I throw at you, I will give you a very special present!" A perfect family of three, I guess living here is not that bad... He was about to go with his parents when he heard a familiar voice. "Jay! Jay!" the voice seemed familiar but he didn''t know who''s it was. how weird. "Jay, come on boy, don''t die on us!" Don''t die on us? He wasn''t dying, he was with his parents not dying, he looked down. "What the-" he was covered in blood and the surrounding changed his parents were lying in a pool of blood. Their own blood. "Jay, go hide.....live on my boy...." his father''s eyes darkened the life drained out. "Dad! Daddy!" The memories the 3 year old him that pushed down and erased came flooding back all at once over whelming him. "DAD!" ... Jay sat up quickly his body aching, covered in bandages soaked with blood and sweat he looked down at the girl sleeping soundly right by his bed. ''Who is she?'' he looked around and saw nothing but the walls of a hospital room. Just then a nurse came in she stopped dead in her tracks and just stared blankly at Jay before running out yelling: "He''s awake! The patient in VIP is awake Jay Xaiver is awake!" "Jay....Xaiver I guess that''s my name..." Not long after the nurse went ballistic, a guy who is obviously a doctor came in waking the girl up. "Jay! Your awake!" she launched herself at me and hugged me tightly. "Uhh....may I know who you are?" "What?" ------ "It seems like the poison caused severe distress and dysfunction to his organs, and his head was battered pretty bad and caused a clot in the frontal lobe and the part of the brain holding his memories..the trauma to his brain and the amnesia might last as short as a few days to a maximum of a few years. Other then amnesia he may have some sort of PTSD, and multiple personality disorder." "Don''t worry about the MPD he already had it, but it was controlled. With his glasses. Is there anyway we can get his memories back?" "The ''memory tea'' has brought the memories of many people with amnesia and the amnesia caused by multiple personality disorder. Keep him drinking the tea and the medicine prescribed until he gets the memories back. And...." The doctor hesitated to speak the next sentence. "Just say it." "I was monitoring him for the whole week that he was in a coma, he woke up now and then, and his personality seems to change at night. Now this is not certain, but he may have amnesia caused by the change in personalities from now, and it will take a toll on his body if he stays awake because of that." CH 38 Jay''s P.O.V After I woke up, the girl who was sleeping looked really sad, I could tell that she was holding back tears. Was I someone important to her? But all I remember is mom and dad...grandpa...my mom and dad were killed by someone but I can''t seem to recall who. They made this thing called ''memory tea'' to help get my memory back and I do but in tiny fragments. I can remember all the way up to the age of 12 but nothing after... People keep coming in and they give me a look of worry and concern as I ask them who they were. But I keep thinking about that girl...she was...stunning. "Jay it''s been a while man." I see Michael come in the door with that same look everyone wore. "I heard you have amnesia? I know someone who can help." Behind him was a handsome man wearing a tailor suit. "I''m a doctor who specializes in restoring lost, suppressed and forgotten memories." he told me to lay down and just close my eyes. ... I''m suddenly my 4 year old self. I''m at my uncle''s house, I remember not being given anything but a little but of food. Every time uncle saw me he''d right away hit me and curse me to die, I though aunt would be nicer but she wasn''t any better she ordered the maids to lock me up in the ''room''. I was nearing death when I was brought out by the servants and they bring me to the living room where I see my grandpa. "Grandpa!" My grandpa''s eyes were full of tears and he saw me. "Jay! I''m so sorry, Jay you''ll be with me now, come here my boy..." He gently hugged me, he didn''t give me a tight hug, he seemed to be afraid that I would break. "I''m here Jay, no one will hurt you." He repeated that over and over I tried to count but I lost count as I fell into a slumber. "Jay!" I see the girl I saw when I woke up, she was dressed in a leather outfit which made her look stunning, "Hey! wait for me Jay!" "Alright, alright come on A--er." I can''t remember her name, Am....er? No Am....b..er..."Amber!" I lose consciousness once again, I here a man''s voice. ... ... ... ... ... "My, my look at the proud Jay, the once incredible Jay in this condition! What a sight to see!" "Shut...up...." My throat was dry, it hurt to even make sound, the fact that I was hanging upside down didn''t help. "What....did...you..-" "What did I do to you? I just bribed some old guy greedy for money to put a little something in your drink. And what did you tell me to do? Shut up?" Richard signed the guy who was watching the whole scene with a grin, the guy got the rope I was hanging upside down from and let it go dunking Me into the freezing cold water. They pulled me back up for a few seconds before dunking me once again, endlessly. "Stop." Richard stopped the guy and walked towards me I was violently shacking my head trying to stay conscious. When he got face to face with me, I spit water I kept in my mouth straight to his face. He got angry, and spat out the truth I guess he did that to get me angry. ------ Jay slowly opened his eyes and got up from the bed he was on, he ignored the pain he had and walked out the door. His eyes were full of anger and sadness, full of hatred and pain, he clutched his head and punched himself right on the wound which was opening up. He couldn''t unconscious now, he had to find Amber the girl he loved, the girl he hurt. But even though he wanted so much to do so, the other side of him wouldn''t allow him. It seemed like the whole world was against his will, his will to fight. He clutched his chest in pain and once again fell into a deep slumber. ... "The patient is weak, he suffered a heart attack he has survived this one, but if he has another one in his condition...I''m afraid that it would cost his life...he needs to regain consciousness soon, if he doesn''t in the next 12 hours, he would lose his chance and fall into a coma." Amber''s legs went limp as she fell on her knees sobbing. Felix and Gun helped her sit down in a chair before guiding Jace to sit. "Gra....mp..s.." A weak voice came from behind the doctor the doctor''s head spun around, and he was met with a weakly opened pair of blue eyes, "Am....b...er..." Hearing Jay''s voice Amber and Jace both quickly stood beside Jay who was hooked up to many machines, and IVs. "Th...e...on..es...kill...dad...mom...is....the...traitors....Ice...aun..t...uncl...e...were....re...sp..onsi..ble..." Jay''s voice got weaker and weaker, as Jace came closer to listen in. "I''m.....so..rr y...guys....It''s....my...fa..ult...I''m...sorry...Am..b...er" Jay''s arm went limp, which threw Amber into a panicked state. "No! Jay! Stay with me! Jay!" She shook Jay but he didn''t open his eyes, the machine monitoring his heartbeat was not beeping which meant that Jay''s heart was still beating. "You have to stay strong Jay!" CH 39 "I guess I scared you that day huh?" Jay pulled out his rare charming smile that was reserved for Amber, he was trying to charm Amber into forgiving his ''little scare'' that he gave to Amber and the others. He had not meant for Amber to be bawling over him just closing his eyes because a sudden wave of ''intense hunger'' that drowned him to close his eyes and go limp. "Don''t do that again!" Amber said blushing as she playfully shoved a mouthful of seafood congee she had ''made''...in reality Gun had done 80% of the work while Amber sat by peeing potatoes and chopping up some herbs. "The doctor said you need at least a a month or two of rehab." "No worries all I need is less then 2 weeks and I''ll be back on my feet." Jay stated proudly which made Amber shake her head and sigh. Knock Knock. "Come in." Jace walked in along with Jay''s aunt and uncle Jay, who knew that they were the mastermind of his parent''s murder shouted them to yield. "Don''t you dare step foot in this room." Jace who saw Jay''s reaction towards the two, smirked in conformation of what he had suspected. They were the one who betrayed the family. "Jay, calm down. They are only here to check if you are okay." "Well then since they know I''m fine, get them out of my damn sight!" Jace nodded and chased the two out of Jay''s sight. ------ It has been roughly a week or so since Jay had been discharged and he has been training from morning till night and gotten a professional ''poison maker'' to make different kinds of ''poison'' and take it in small doses, to get his body more immune and lessen the toll it will take on his body. Of course, he kept the ''poison training'' a secret from Amber since he knew she will flip out. It has been going well, his uncle and aunt were up to something though, they were way too quiet. "Jay! When are you coming back to school man? I am sitting in boring classes without a buddy to skip classes with!" "I''m busy. I don''t need further education, Amber doesn''t need either so, I''m keeping her with me 24/7." "Alright, I get it stop rubbing your fiancee in my face! Oh right! My dad and I are holding a graduation party for me graduating high school. He told me to invite some friends too, it''s this Friday at 7pm you''re coming with Amber and bring Gun too! I won''t take no for an answer!" Beep. "Was that Michael?" Amber asked coming inside he personal gym. "Yeah tomorrow is his graduation party he asked for us and Gun to come. And he won''t take no for an answer." ... "Thanks for coming man! I see you brought...Uh..." "I brought a few extras, this is Floppy, Reaper, Shadow and my grandpa Jace. And the four of them are the Four legends of FL." Michael looked at ''Floppy'' and was quick to look away. "Uh nice to meet all of you, have a nice time!" and ran off and Amber swore she could have seen a tail between his legs! CH 40 "Ahem, Welcome everyone to my son''s graduation party! I just want to say, have fun, and enjoy yourselves!" The party was separated into two groups, on the main floor were the younger guests enjoying the music and drinking, on the floor above were the adults or the more mature guests all with some champagne and wine talking about business. The separation has brought eyes upon the only young guy, Jay who was sipping on fine wine just lost in thoughts. "Joey! You being a bludger now ey?" Shadow appeared in front of Jay who was eyeing him and his uncle who was standing right beside Shadow. "What are you looking at brat?" His uncle sneered which made Shadow''s face scrunched up. "Aye, mate you may be Joey''s uncle but I''ll blue with dates that come to insult Joey in a language that no body appreciates!" Jay''s uncle was confused, he just said something to this ''brat'' and now the next business partner of his company was all serious and speaking ''English'' he couldn''t understand! "I''m sorry if this brat nephew of mine insulted you," He thought Jay was the one at fault for angering Shadow. "Oh no it wasn''t Joey here it was you the leeching dickhead!" Jay''s uncle''s face whitened in horror, even if he didn''t understand the ''English'' Shadow spoke, the tone of voice that was unmistakably directed at him instead of Jay. "I''m sorry sir!" "Yeah you better be! Joey up for a drink off?" "Sure why not, I have nothing much to do anyways." Shadow got the strongest whiskey, vodka and gin they had and mix it up in shot glasses that lined up the table in neat rows in front of the two. They clinked the glasses together, and began to throw back drink after drink down the hatch, or what Shadow calls ''pissing up''. After about 20 shots or so Shadow laughed, and started mumbling to himself. "You never go legless do ya? Ey Joey I would''ve like to see the maggot you!" (You never get drunk do you? Aye Jay I would''ve like to see you really drunk!) "Same to you." "Ha, in your dreams! I could take dozens of grogs!" (Grog can mean any alcohol) Those were only words as Jay was closing up to his alcohol intake limit, and his face taking on a new color ''pink''. "I give up! If I drink anymore I''d chunder all over the place at a rage!" (I give up! If I drink anymore I''d vomit all over the place at a party!) Shadow then left his steps all over the place. "I win." CH 41 Amber had been on the floor where the music was blasting, and with many who were dancing the night away. She had been wondering where Jay was, she hadn''t seen him ever since they got separated by the crowd. She was now out of her seat and heading to the secound floor where the older married people were, but before she had entered the stairwell she saw a familiar man stumbling as he walked down. She knew right then and there, it was Jay. "Jay just how much did you drink?!" Amber said putting an Jay''s arm over her own shoulders, "You reek of alcohol!" "Maybe.....a bottle or two...of spirits and wine.....A LOT of wine." his words were not slurred together but slowed down. Amber at Jay''s face which thankfully he had kept his glasses on, and was flushed bright pink. "Why''d you drink so much! We are going upstairs let''s see what father - to -be -in -law has to say about this!" "Nooooo...." Regardless of Jay''s constant cries of the word ''no'' Amber half carried and half dragged Jay up the stairs which was not an easy thing to do, since Jay was no doubt taller and heavier then a good percentage of guys. After sweating and struggling Amber had finally brought Jay in front of Jace and her father, the two looked at Jay who seemed like a zombie. "My, oh my! Amber what happened to him?" Her father asked, "Oh! I get it he is drunk!" "Jay L. Xaiver! Explain to me what this situation is!" Jay, who heard his grandfather''s deadly tone immediately sobered up and stood straight, cause if not, he would be a dead corpse soon. "Uh I was enjoying wine and champagne sir, when I saw a dickhead who came over and called me a bastard but Shadow was right beside him...And taught him a lesson...NO violence though...and Shadow challenged me to a drinking competition which I won..." The three looked at each other while Jay didn''t dare to look up, which made him look like a kid being scolded by his parents. While the two men stood there, Amber went over and gave his gut a good punch. "Damn idiot!" CH 42 Jay woke up grunting, his throat was dry and in his eyes, the world was spinning, his stomach pained like a tower had fell down on top of him. "What time is it?" He muttered, and got up heading for the bathroom. He turned stepped into the newly renovated shower that had motion sensors and the water turned on when he stepped inside. "Time." [2:43.p.m] "Holy shit that late? Oh crap right my bandages!" Jay hastily washed himself up and ran out of the bathroom in his birthday suit. (Naked) "Hey Jay-" Gun had walked in and saw Jay with a towel covering his waist to an inch above his knee. "Jay! Where is your dignity man!" "I''m sorry..." "Did you just apologize?" Gun took a step back. "Are you really Jay?" "What the fuck you mean if I''m Jay! I''m Jay Xaiver in the flesh!" "Okay I''m getting the damn doctor here!" Gun dashed like he was chased by a hoard of woman (his worst nightmare). Jay went into his walk in closet after he checked that no one else was going to enter, he pick his usual sporty casual style clothes and went to his garage stopping to pick up the keys to his favourite child; his Mclaren 720S. He had a Mclaren 570GT but he liked the 720S since the car doors opened normally not the butterfly door shit. He left for a drive to the [S] Military base, he had planned this trip months ago but it had to be delayed till now, and right now he was going to pick up Floppy who told him he was inside a cemetery. "Ey Jay!" Floppy said as he waved his lose arm around. "Why a cemetery?" Jay asked when Floppy opened the car door. "Never mind I don''t want to know anymore." The car felt silent as Floppy hated car rides with Jay driving. Jay''s mental state was foggy and messed up he didn''t know if Jay will turn into a drifting maniac or drive them off of the road for the ''thrill'' of it. And since they were in a remote location, the ambulance would have a hard time finding them. "Wanna have a thrill?" Jay asked. "I...think I''m good. Thanks for the offer though." Floppy straightened up in his seat and looked straight ahead not wanting to make eye contact with the literally two faced Jay. CH 43 The two arrived at the gates of the [S] Military Base, where they were greeted by the two self defense instructors Jay and Amber beat up. "You-!" "Uhh, Do I know you sir?" Jay looked at the girl and the guy back and forth. "Wait I DO know you! Your the two pansies Amber and I beat up!" Jay and the so-called [S] Military officer had a stare down that was only stopped by the Female instructor and Floppy. "Watch your mouth little punk!" "How can I be little if I''m way taller then your pansy ass and to add, I have bigger guns then you do!" Jay stuck his tongue out like a little boy, and the man reacted with his own tongue stuck out. "How did you even get here? This is a classified base, you are not to be near here!" "You don''t need to know, I''m here to see your boss! Oh here he comes." A man in his late 40''s came with two others wearing their full uniform. They had a katana-like blade hanging firmly by their waists, and some type of rifle strapped over their shoulder on their backs. "Oh you''ve come at last! Mr.F, I''m the Captain of Squadron 1 my name is (Major) Samuel, but please call me Sam." Floppy shook hands with Samuel while Jay and the male instructor had another stare down. "May I ask who this youngster is beside you?" "Nice to meet you Major Samuel, my name is Jay. Jay Xaiver." "Oh you are the intern who will be joining us on training the newcomers!" "Uhh...That''s not what I heard but yeah that''s me. "What a surprise I never expected the intern to be a youngster! Tell me just how old are you?" "I turned 16 turning 17 in 9 months." At Jay''s true age Samuel''s eyes opened wide, "My age isn''t a problem to partake in the training is it?" "Well...the youngest recruit is 19, so I''d call you an exception." Samuel turned to the two men beside him and whispered something, then the men nodded and went into a large tent. "Any medical thing we need to know?" Jay nodded to Floppy who cleared his throat, and took out a crumbled up piece of paper. "He has MPD, hey Jay what is this MPD?" Jay face palmed himself for giving Floppy his medical note from the doctor. "I have controlled MPD, but it''s not fully controlled now and my rib cage, and my collar bone were broken, and my shoulder was dislocated...oh and I have a few deep cuts that are still healing here and there." Seeing Samuel''s face he added, "Don''t worry the bones are all heald and the cuts have been stitched, and the gun wounds had their bullets removed." "My I never thought you have been through that much." The two men came back with the largest uniform they had, with the gears, pack, and other things the new recruits got for the 1 week trial period. "Uhh Major Samuel is there a place I can park my car at?" "Oh you have a car? Let''s see you can park your car right beside that tent in between the SUV." Jay walked back to his car which was parked right at the gates. He drove the car and swiftly parked it in the space provided. He locked the doors and went back to the group. "Hey Floppy I called Gun here he said he''ll be here in 20 with Michael." Floppy''s face was enlightened with a creepy smile as he waved goodbye walking towards the gate. "The Michael you are talking about is he Michael Henderson?" "Yea he''s enlisted as a recruit I believe." "Right then. Let''s get you dressed and geared up." CH 44 After Michael arrived he and Jay were dressed up in a camo uniform with a blade on their waist, 30 pounds of things in the backpacks, and a rifle of their choice. "Uhh do you guys have the FN SCAR model?" When Jay asked, then men handed him the gun he wanted. "Oh and that FN 509 Tactical." Michael had a handgun collection at home and he favored the same pistol that Jay chose, but he went with the AK12. After they had chosen the ''gun'' which was really loaded with paintball rounds designed by the [S] Military. They were put in a Military vehicle and driven to the training grounds. ... ... ... ... ... "ATTENTION!" Major Samuel yelled at the top of his lungs, and 10 men lined up in front. "This is Jay and Michael, your new comrades - in - training!" "YES SIR! WELCOME!" The men yelled, "Gear up in 2!" The men scurried to their tents as they geared up. "Uhh Major Sam can I like go unpack the pack on my back? My shoulders are killing me!" Michael complained, but when the response was a harshly cold glare, he immediately straightened his back and shut his idiotic mouth. Not long after ten men in full gear were lined up and ready to go, while Jay and Michael put down the combat ruck on their backs and joined the others. They were on a ''short march'' to their training grounds which was not that far since it was a part of the land reserved for [S] Military. Jay was not jogging with the men but inside the combat vehicle following close behind, he had ''accidentally'' forgot that the doctor said to him to not be standing or put pressure on to the joints in his leg for a long period of time and since the march is going to take a estimate of roughly 2 to 3 hours Major Samuel insisted for him to ride the car behind. .... They finally arrived at the training grounds which was an indoor building with high tech machines that ran 24/7 while the recruits trained. The indoor training grounds were separated into four ''scenarios'' there was the survival in the jungle, mountains (high temperature resistance training), the navigation skills training where they navigate in the dark, and the breaker. No one has beaten the breaker ever since it was created the record which was set by the maker of this new military was an astounding 39 hours. The lowest was just a few seconds set by a recruit who took his own life right after he was sent back for the failure to complete training. Jay would only stay for the breaker which was tomorrow, back when Jace was his age they had the exact training as the breaker, except that it became a life threatening issue that those who didn''t last more then an hour didn''t last to see the next sun rise. It was covered up till now, the former survivors or ''the elite'' has brought it back. Jace didn''t see it as his own problem since he is not yet financially sponsoring them, but he wanted to see if Jay can beat his record or his father''s. Jace''s record was 74 he was only taken out because the others feared that he would die any longer without water. But that record was beaten by none other then Noah Xaiver his son now deceased son. Noah was in their for 76 hours before he was pulled out by his ear by non-other then his pissed off wife. ''Gramps said pop''s record was 76...80 should suffice.'' Jay thought as he got off the vehicle and joining Michael who was pale. CH 45 The day went by quickly as the tasks given was way too easy for Jay, so in respect he tried not to help because if he did, the ''training'' wouldn''t last more then an hour. Night fell and they marched back to camp where they had their final meal of the day which was some chicken and vegetable stir fry, a tuna sandwich, protein shake, fried rice with mashed potatoes with gravy, a dessert of choice and lots of water. Jay finished his meal and walked off to where Major and the other instructors were having a meeting to see if any candidates should be sent back to their respective jobs or position in the society. Jay entered without hesitation startling everyone but Major Samuel. "What can I get for you?" Major Samuel said while he nodded to everyone that he is trust worthy. "I don''t need anything, well one thing actually. The breaker, can I like go and ya know have a head start at it so I can quickly go home? Or else I''m afraid I''d be beaten to death without mercy." Major Samuel chuckled while everyone else just stared wide eyed at the fellow who was asking to be speed it up and be put inside the Breaker! Is he insane or brave?! ------ (The day Jay left to visit the [S] military base...) With Amber... "Amber since Jay is you future husband we are thinking about merging with the FL, but we don''t have to. It''s up to you and my son-in-law." "Dad, I think we should totally do that! Jay is undoubtedly better at managing then I am. I''m more of a fighter not a planner." Amber''s father nodded in approval and sipped on his favorite chamomile tea. "Dad I wanna go back to Jay''s place." Ever since Jay was bed ridden he told her to go back to the Wingman''s villa where she would be around many high skilled members of the Wingman''s and some from the FL. She would still visit once a day and she''d have to be dragged back by Felix who was tired from dragging the princess back and forth. She eventually compiled and left on her own and came the next morning. Amber and her father arrived at Jay''s place when Gun informed that Jay was out and he doesn''t know when he''ll be back. So Amber chose to stay and wait for Jay while her father will chat with Jace back in the FL''s main building. Even though she had seen face timed Jay just a few hours ago, she was missing him so much. CH 46 Jay had now been put in ''the breaker'' for about 12 hours and now the other recruits were with him. In the breaker you are kept awake, no food and you hear these taboo sounds. Baby''s crying, people screaming and in pain, these weird machine noises. This is where two thirds of the recruits break and withdraw. The recruits who had just joined Jay didn''t know that he had been in there for over half of the day, they had blindfolds on and isolation headphones. On top of all that, they were standing and sitting in positions meant to bring aching muscles and discomfort. ... 75 hours in the instructors were hesitating if they should stop the only person left who was Jay. It was the first time a recruit lasted this long. They were about to pull Jay out when Major Samuel came along with a man who''s name was Jace he told them to wait just 2 hours before they go in. "How long has he been in there for?" "It''s nearing 76 hours sir." Jace firmly nodded and went into the room. The others watched in the sidelines as Jace went ahead and gave a good kick to Jay''s thighs. But the kick didn''t surprise them as much as Jay''s reaction. Jay''s didn''t move an inch nor grunt in pain, he stood there in the same position as before like the kick didn''t hurt more then a mosquito. "Good take him out." Michael nodded and brought Jay out who was covered in sweat, Michael himself wondered how this 16 year old put up with all that discomfort, pain and sounds meant to drive you insane. And the cherry on top, the room went from insanely hot to insanely cold. Many dropped like flies while this young man- boy endured it all and all he had asked for was for them to give him this vile of liquid tested to be toxins for the body. "Hey...gramps. When''d you get here?" "Not long ago. How are you feeling?" Jace gave Jay a bottle of Jay''s favorite protein shake with a proud smile plastered on his face. "You did good- oh right Amber has gone crazy. She''s missing you and won''t go back home till she sees you." "That sounds like her." Jay got up with legs of jello from sitting down too long, "can''t keep my future bride waiting." CH 47 Amber had spent two nights inside Jay''s empty house waiting for Jay to be back but she had been waiting for days! Just as she was about to strangle the poor single matchmaker to death, she heard the familiar sound of Jay''s car engine. She busted the usable door and ran into a pair of arms. She inhaled the scent she had missed, and snuggled right into Jay''s chest. "What''s up?" Jay asked, Amber usually wasn''t this ''clingy'' and only greeted him with a smile or a ''hey Jay''. "Nothing. I guess I just missed you." Jay walked Amber to the lounge couch and sat her down on his lap. "I want to stay like this for a while." "En. Me too." Jay lightly pecked Amber''s cheeks which flushed pink the instant his lips touched her cheeks. "Love you." "Yeah me ---" "Jay I got your new set of poison---" Michael burst into the house only to be shoved a hefty amount of dog food and a deadly glare from Jay. "I meant drinks! No- Medicine! You wanted the medicine right?" Amber stood up and stomped her way to the briefcase Michael was holding and was about to grab it when Jay got to it first. He then ran off to his study and came back. "You''re suspicious!" Michael gulped at Amber''s frightening tone of voice. "Uh...I''ve gotta go! bye!" As Michael ran like a mad bull right out the open door Amber slowly turned to look at Jay who was sitting on the couch, cold sweat starting to drench his t-shirt. "So....Jay...." Jay flinched but quickly regained his senses and malfunctioning brain, he let out a simple nervous "Hm?" That''s when Amber practically slammed into Jay''s study door and dashed before he had a chance to react. "JAY XAIVER!" He heard Amber yell at the top of her lungs in anger, perhaps with a teeny tiny bit of fury. Jay winced at the thought of what she would ordain from him, but shook the thoughts apart from the reality of things. Which was really bad....Really, REALLY bad. "What is this JAY?!" "M-my medicine mam''!" He straightened up and stood in a army-style rest stance as he stared at Amber opening one of the small tubes holding 10mls of light ''poison''. She gave a ''oh, is it?'' look as she put the opening of the tube on to her lips about to drink the suspicious liquid. "No, no no no." Jay hastily grabbed the tube from and he drank what was inside himself, but what he thought was ''light'' dose of ''poison'' it was really a much stronger dose of moderated ''poison'' a far safer concoction to what Richard had which was [dichlorophenoxy-acetic acid]. He immediately read the coded label. [Diluted form of: chlordecone] "Shit." CH 48 "Jay?" Amber watched in horror as Jay fell on his knees, a wave of nausea hitting him left and right, and the retching feeling of vomit at the back of his throat. "Are you okay? Did someone put toxins in the medicine?" Jay shook his head. "I ordered it...." Amber''s eyes shook in horror, ''he ordered it?''. "Y-you ordered t-the..." the words she tried to get out were caught in her throat, she looked to Jay in horror as his eyes became dim. "I''ll explain later..." Jay pointed to the small black box big enough to fit a set of jewelry inside. "Open that up and prepare that with a cup of water....." When Amber nodded and went out to get water, he sneakily took out a bottle of fake blood and chugged some in his mouth, and waited. "Jay I got your water-!" Amber watched in paralyzing fear and horror as Jay ''puked'' out ''blood'' A LOT of ''blood''. "Jay!" "*cough**cough*...." Jay lowered his head and smirked, enjoying Amber''s reaction. "Am...ber...." And then he ''fainted''. "Jay? Jay?! Wake up!" Amber shook Jay as hard as her shaking arms could, her sight blurring with fresh tears. "Don''t scare me like this...Jay..." Jay opened his eye when he felt little drops of water and heard Amber''s sobbing. He chuckled and pulled Amber into his embrace. "I''m sorry...I ordered these so that my body can put up some immunity to poison so I won''t get so easily poisoned in the future...I''m sorry I kept it from you. I knew you would be worried and angry at me." "So you just keep it from me? How long have you been suffering? Just how long have you...-" Amber''s sobs went silent as Jay''s lips went and covered her own. "I''m sorry." "I hate you! You will get it from me soon!" She pushed herself out of Jay''s arms and ran out the opened door driving back to her father''s place, not caring that Felix, Gun and Michael saw her with reddened eyes. ------ "So....Jay...What''s up with this fake blood stuff on the floor, on your clothes and in your mouth?" Michael asked, he saw Amber run out looking like she had been crying and went in the room she came out from. "Let me guess a prank? And Amber is going to kill you." "Not me. Both of us." Jay said getting up to get a towel to clean the mess he had made, but he suddenly fell on his knees. He didn''t let Amber see that because he had one too many of those moderated ''poison'' his body was showing more severe reaction to it. "Gun! Get someone to clean this mess!" CH 49 Amber''s father Roy was pacing back and forth inside his study non stop sighing. Just a minute ago he had happily went out to greet his daughter with a hug, but not only did he get rejected, she looked puffy, and her eyes were red like she had been crying. But that didn''t bother him, it could have been tears of joy, but what scared him the most was that Amber had laughed crazily out of no where. When he asked about what she was laughing about, her face pouted and her eyes filled with tears. But when he was backing off, he heard her laugh again. "Just what the hell is happening to my Honey Bun?" Roy once again sighed, and took a sip of his now lukewarm coffee. "Dad!" Amber had burst into his room making him startled and he choke on the coffee. "Sorry, my bad dad." "It''s alright Honey Bun. What''s up?" "The ceiling." Amber laughed at her dad''s reaction, his eyes were widened. "Just kidding! I wanna play a prank on Jay! And I want to teach Michael a lesson!" "What did they do to you?" He asked, cause he knew when she says she wants to teach a lesson and pull a small ''prank'' Jay must have pissed her off. "Nothing! It''s just for a bit of ''fun''." Amber again, wore that manic-like smile and laughed her lungs out of breath. "I just need a bit of ''props''." ------ A chill went down Jay''s spine out of no where, and he sneezed hard which made Gun look to him in a ''wtf?'' kind of look. "Have you caught a cold?" Gun asked, handing him the keys to a new car he had gotten from Jace. "A gift from your grandfather. He knows that you totaled your Mercedes." "Damn." Jay looked at the logo of the car keys. "What the fuck? T-this..." Gun looked to Jay in awe of the new car gifted to him. "It''s the Ferrari 812 Superfast Model you wanted." Gun watched as Jay got dressed and went out to the driveway. "The car is scheduled to be here in 30 minutes." "Oh..." Jay went into his garage instead to do a check up on the state of his totaled Mercedes. He didn''t want Jace to know it was totaled so he got it towed back to his house to fix it himself. "Damn this one''s a goner." He placed the half smashed hood of the car back in it''s crunched place and went back to the driveway to see that the car had finally arrived. "Oh you''ve come back! How''s the Benz?" Gun asked. He hadn''t taken a close look at it since Jay had locked it up in a warehouse before bringing it here. "Total goner...but this is just...Fucking awesome how did gramps get a hold of this car?" "He definitely pulled some strings. He also mentioned it was your early birthday present or something like that." Gun paused, "Who the hell gets a birthday present when their birthday is over 5 months away?" "Me." Jay proudly got into his brand new Ferrari fully customized exactly to his liking, he was mostly surprised that his grandpa new what color he wanted this car to be; matte black, unpolished, with intricate pure 18k gold mixed with the logo made from white gold. "My god...he really went all out. I''m taking this for a drive." Jay put the keys inside his front pocket, and pressed the car start button, and the engine roared hella loud, if this estate had a neighbor this car would get noise complaints. He turned the car into ''sport'' and drove off, Gun followed right after with the McLaren senna he splurged on. He had a call connected to Jay''s as they had their share of fun. "Where to Jay?" "The shopping center. I want to buy some new clothes." Jay took out his phone at a red light calling an Italian car specialist. Since he had the money he saved especially for the Ferrari was not needed anymore he now was going to spend it on the new Lamborghini Aventador SV, and perhaps a new set of PCs. Jay was day dreaming about the new car he had ordered just now, when a blaring car horn brought his attention back to reality. He glanced at his side mirror to see that a Bently with the hood down was behind him. Inside the car, a man beside a woman could be visibly seen to be angered as he was sticking his middle finger at Jay who was in-front, not budging. "The fuck man! Go already! You fucking blind bro!?" Jay ignored the man and didn''t move until the light had turned yellow, he pressed the gas leaving the raging man caught in another red light. "Mhm.." Jay found humor in the face of that man, and he begun to hum the tunes of Moanin''. CH 50 April 27th, Sunday. Jay parked his car in the valet as waited for Gun who was surely taking his sweet time with the guy at the valet. He had been standing for quite a while when Gun finally decided to come. "Sorry about that. This stupid guy with just a Bently was being a dick." Gun sighed pointing to the man that blasted the horn at Jay just a few minutes before. "Hey man what fuck! I ain''t do nothing to your whip! I just accidentally almost rammed into a Porche or somethin''." "The car you almost hit was his." Gun shrugged and looked to Jay with the air temperature going cold around him. "It''s not a Porsche or whatever you said. It''s a birthday present, very important to the owner." "Whatever it ain''t nothing to my whip." Jay just stood there silently raising alarms inside Gun''s brain. "Your name." "Dero." Hearing the man''s name Jay smirked in amusement. Because ha had once heard that Dero was a aussie slang for a homeless person. But nevertheless, he called up his trusted info gatherer. He listened up before he spoke in a dangerously alarming tone. "Dero the infamous leader of the rising Yakuza. Just your luck that I fucking despise the Japanese." "Jay. This is a public place." Gun reminded. "I will deal with him later let''s go." Jay walked in the direction of the mall entrance but his eyes were fixed on the man, busy etching the guy''s face into his mind. ''I will make his life a living hell. He will only be able to wish that he was dead.'' Jay and Gun stopped by a few clothing shops that they favored. The final stop of their shopping spree was the Tesla show case. They saw the Model S and the SUV and they were greeted by a lot people who were taking pictures. "The Model X seems like a car that I would want to get if I had a wife and children." Gun commented, he had not seen an SUV that the car doors opened like it did. "What do you think Jay?" "I''m only here to order the SUV for Jeongin back in Korea. I wrecked his one and only Lincoln SUV by ''accident''." "May I help you sir?" an employee dressed in a nice tailor suit came over when he overheard the two talking about buying the car. "How much for the SUV?" Gun asked. "The starting price is just above 130 thousand sir." "Alright give me the papers and things." Jay said, "Hurry up I ain''t got no time." CH 51 April 28th, Monday. Jay and Gun finally arrived home to find Michael right in front of them tied up to a chair. "What the-" Jay saw little quick movements in the corner of his eye, alarming him. "Who''s there?" "Me." a female''s voice answered. "Amber?!" Jay stared at the figure approaching behind Michael. "What are you-" Jay barely dodged an incoming attack aimed at his head. "Woah!" Left and right Amber used her whip to make Jay run around like he was being chase by a hoard of hyenas. A sadistic smirk made it''s appearance on Amber''s ''graceful'' face as she continued her thrashing. "Amber!...just....what...." Jay managed to ask between huffs and puffs but all he got as an answer were the whipping speed increasing. "Please stop!" Jay met eyes with Amber who''s movements were slowing down. "Amber?" Jay slowly began to make his way closer to her but jumped back when the ground just an inch before him was harshly whipped. Jay''s heart that had just started to relax was brought back to working out. "Since you don''t want to play, I''ll take my playfulness to this cutie over here!" Amber muttered, closing in on Michael who had already been woken up from the sound of chaos. Michael panicked when Amber''s face closed into his, if she got any closer, not only will he have to deal with this situation, he''d have to deal with Jay''s wrath! When Michael was panicking Jay saw Amber take out what looked like a doctor''s scalpel. ''So the ''fun she was talking about was torture?!'' "Amber-" "One more word and I''ll skin him alive." Amber warned. "Now..." She brought the scalpel''s tip to Michael''s adam''s apple. "Jay do something!" Michael begged as he turned his body in a jerk, landing face first on to the ground in a loud ''bam''. "Don''t just stand there!" While Jay and Michael were fearing for their lives, she was thoroughly enjoying herself on the inside. "Amber whatever it is...W-we can talk about it!" "How does it feel to have your life in the hands of your friend''s girlfriend?...Tell me Micky....." Amber''s tone of voice ran a chill down both of the boy''s spine, and their body temperature dropping when a trickle of blood was seen to make it''s way along the edge of the blade. "Hahaha!" Amber burst out laughing holding her stomach. "Your reactions were too funny!! Ahahaha!" Amber rolled around crazily with laughter while Jay untied Michael who ran as fast as he can and as far as he can get from this place. Then Jay started to wonder, was this revenge for his pranks? CH 52 After all the crazy mess of Amber''s wrath, Gun finally showed up. Jay didn''t even notice his absence, because Gun had ran away as soon as he stepped foot inside the house only to see the wreck of Michael. Oh and if Jay hadn''t calmed Amber down any later then that, they would have become the dart board. "Jay I forgot to tell you, you missed your psychiatrist appointment." Gun said as he cleaned up the mess of the house. "Jay?" Everyone turned to Jay who was laying on the ground unconscious. Amber thought it was a prank and pinched Jay''s side only to be met with silence and not even the slightest movement. "Jay? Is this another one of your stupid pranks?" Amber poked Jay''s side and cheek trying to get some kind of reaction out of him, but to no avail. At this point worry started to boil and panic rose to the surface. "Uh-oh..." Michael panicked as he quickly tried to find his phone. "Some one call Dr....what was his name?!" Just then Jace came in to see three people in panic, one unconscious. "What''s going on?" Jace asked as he went closer to the limp figure. "What''s wrong with Jay?" "Dr.Will told me that the results of the tests he ran when Jay was in the hospital finally had results. Not the good one, but something about Jay''s mental state being unstable and need treatment. He said anymore time we lose the more of a chance that Jay will not recover. So I rushed here but I was knocked out..." Hearing the severity of the issue, Gun speed dialed Dr.Will and told him to meet them at the Central Hospital. "Let''s go." ... In the car ride to the hospital was silence, deadly silence. This silence was only broken by little shifting of position where Amber moved to wipe sweat off of Jay''s forehead. She would gasp when Jay''s body jerked left and right seemingly in lot of pain, and as soon as she saw Jay''s face crunch up in pain she would yell at poor Gun to drive faster. Poor Gun put up with a yelling Amber in distress for 10 minutes before finally arriving at the hospital greeted by a group of doctors at the ready. "Leave him to me." Dr.Will said shooing the others away and wheeling Jay into the hospital''s VIP room. "I knew that this would happen. When he was hospitalized before I ran a few psychological tests and the results were shocking." Dr.Will sighed and faced the diesel in distress group of grown men and a seemingly mature woman. "Ahem....unfortunately you were too late and I can''t do anything until he wakes up. I will administer some IV drips of the medication he was prescribed that he didn''t take." "Also, it will take a huge toll on him both physically and mentally. Mostly mental, if he fails to wake up by the end of this week and month." ... Dr.Will left after administering some IV fluids and Roy came as soon as he heard Amber bawling on the phone crying telling something about Jay collapsing. "Honey Bun? Are you okay?" Roy gently approached the sobbing Amber pating her back trying to soothe her. "I''m sure he''d be fine. The reason I accepted him to be your husband was because he is strong. Strong enough that no one can get to him." "I don''t know dad. He...he had faced every possible danger this earth can throw at him...but..." Amber paused to sniffle and rub her red and swollen eyes. "He has lost to one person." "Who?" Just as Amber opened her mouth she heard a crash and turned to Jay who had remainders of a glass cup clenched in his hand, and his head bleeding with small shards of glass around. "Dad go press the emergency call button!" CH 53 Five figures stood beside the hospital bed all eyes on the figure with hands and feet buckled tight to the bed. "Oi. Isn''t this going overboard?" Shadow said. "No choice but to do this." Ripper replied. "You see his head and hand rapped in bandages? It was caused by Jay unconsciously hitting himself in the head with a glass cup." "... ... ..." ------ Jay didn''t hear the words of worry from the people in the room, he was inside this room that his mother pushed him into panicking. He heard many gunshots and shouts. He was just about to go out of the room the door opened and two figures rushed in and brought him out. It was his parents, he was young when this supposed attack happened. His consciousness equaled out to this as his lost memory from when he was 3. "Jay listen to me. This is very serious, I know this memory will be pushed back and forgotten because you are young, and want to forget this traumatic day. So, I''m taking you to grandpa okay?" Noah took out a little bag with a note book on it. "Give this to grandpa." After he put on the backpack they went into the already prepared car. At that time, because adrenaline and panic clouded their senses, they did not notice the small blinking red light tacker. Not too long after they sped out on the house they were showered by bullets and the tracker set off a pre-implanted bomb in their car. The car flipped as Jay''s mother hugged him protecting him from incoming impact. He feels an intolerable amount of pain before he blacks out. ... The clip of his memory cut right then and there before he saw light and a ceiling. He clenched his hand when the pain came rushing back to him. "Grand...pa?" He looked towards the familiar figure standing beside the huge bed he was laying in. Jace came over and held Jay''s hands gently stroking it to comfort him. "Where''s mommy and daddy?" This question made Jace freeze up before he hesitantly spoke. "Mommy and daddy are...gone..." "Gone? Where did they go? They went without me! I wanna see them." "They are some where far away." His aunt said shedding a tear here and there. "They''re dead." His uncle rephrased. "No!....they...mommy...I want daddy and mommy back!" Jay started to cry, hard. Jace carefully hugged him tight trying his best to stop his movements in fear that the IV''s would fall out. After sending other''s back, Jace sat there comforting his grandson that had just lost his parents right in front of him. Hours had passed and Jay had cried himself to sleep in Jace''s arms and it broke his heart. Jace softly laid his 3 year old grandson down back on the bed and called someone. "The reports?" "Boss, it seems that Master Noah and Madam were poisoned in their sleep." "WHAT?! Poisoned?! How the hell did that happen?" "We found the guards stationed at the door were working with the Fallen Angels and the doctor was a spy as well." "Drag them to the dungeon lock them there for good." Jace put his phone back in his pocket and left the room. That''s when Jay opened his eyes and started to cry for the secound time. He once again cried himself to sleep.w the only thing he can do to get away from reality. Even for a little while. ------ After he was discharged from the hospital his aunt took him into their house since his grandpa was busy dealing with their business that lost it''s leader. The young Jay didn''t know what the two were planning. He only found out after a week they had locked him up in a shed, with no windows nor food. Some of the maids that knew that Jay was the only remaining line to their employer''s sneaked him some food once in a while. He didn''t know how much time had passed but it was enough to traumatize him, and when his grandpa finally came after what felt like a lifetime. CH 54 Jay woke up heavily breathing, drenched in his own sweat and his throat dry. Even though he was so uncomfortable and tired, his rage was blinding out and pushing out every other things that his body was feeling. He tried to move his hand to take out the IV needle but only to realize that he was bound to the bed. There was no one around so he screamed at the top of his lungs to get anyone''s attention. And soon enough, a nurse came in and he told her to release him. So the nurse nodded and untied his arms and feet, he then tore the IV drip out and ask the nurse to bring in his belongings. He didn''t know how long he had been asleep for, nor what day he was. All he saw was the blood that he''d be bathing in. It was 2 in the morning from the clock on the hospital wall when he dressed and headed out on to the streets. He had his wallet and maybe Jace expected him to run out without notifying anyone, so there was a lot more cash then Jay carried usually. Jay turned his phone off, and walked to a near by park and sat down on a clean bench. When he took out one of the bills in his wallet a note fell out. ''Jay I know you will run out and try to deal with things yourself, like you did when you wee younger. I should have done something, anything to help you carry that heavy load on your shoulders. I was a bad grandpa. But let me tell you, when I was young and my father stepped down and crowned me the new boss, I was arrogant. Too reckless, and I did everything by myself just like you are about to do. My father saw, but left me to face the road with a dead end. I learned my lesson, it''s time to learn yours before you drag yourself into a void.'' PS: If you had time to read this note; then get your sorry ass to my office! -Jace Jay dropped the note and laughed at the utter foolish remark of the last sentence. The laughter turned into silent sobs to him shedding tears with his head down alone in the park. ------ After he had finally stopped crying and calmed himself enough he turned his phone back on. He had been at the park for over an hour it seems. He noticed that his aunt had called him yesterday, he debated whether he would call back or ignore. He pressed the call back button, walking to the direction to Jace''s house. "Hello?" a familiar annoying high pitched voice picked up after about 7 rings. "Yea, what''d you call me for?...bitch." The person on the other line went silent for a while. "Hurry up." "Jay, we are on our way to father-in-law''s house." "Oh. Then make a U-turn and get your asses back to where you crawled out from. "-are you talking to that bastard?!" -Beep- "What a fucking dickhead." CH 55 Jay''s P.O.V _____________________ When I finally arrived at grandpa''s place it was about 6 in the morning, grandpa is usually awake at this time. I go to the gates and a young man possibly the new fresh meat that had joined the security team. I figured that I would be stopped and asked who I was. "Stop." The guard stepped forward. "Can''t I go into my own grandfather''s house?" The guard looked taken a back and turned towards the other guard at the gates. "I''m sorry Young Boss." I nodded and went stepped through the gates. I was immediately greeted by the old house keeper that practically raised me, and even though she is old and having trouble walking instead of making her retire, I let her stay and help train the other house keepers and maids. "Long time no see little chubby cheeks." The old house keeper lightly gave my right cheek a pinch. "Hi Auntie Irene." "How''s your day so far? I heard you were hospitalized again." "It was nothing much. I just worked too much and stressed over some problems." I said. "Stop worrying me! This old auntie of yours is going to have a heart attack because of you!" Then, she grabbed my left cheek and pinched it hard, and just when I was about to scream I saw my grandpa coming down the stairs. "Jay, to my study." ... "So, first of all this is yours." He hands me an envelope, I take it in my hands and right away notice my mum and dad''s initials signed at the corner of the page I had just taken out. The first page was written by my mother. ''Dear, my little angel. If you are reading this letter it must mean that you have finally started to shoulder the pain your mother and father has caused at such an young age. I am so, so sorry Jay. I''m sorry about not being there to watch you grow up to be a fine young man just like your father. I hope you are a gentleman when it comes to the girl you love, and I wish you the best of luck in your love life. Again, this mother of yours is not by your side, but still I will be watching over you and I''ll send down the purest and most whitest dove to watch over you and your family. PS: Give your grandpa some grandchildren to spoil. Also, be gentle with the girl. (You know what I mean.) Signed, Your mother. Y.X." P.O.V END ___________________________ Jay sat there frozen as he read the letter carefully, word by word over and over again. As his eyes shed many droplets of tears he chuckled at his mother''s shamelessness. His father once told him that one of the reasons that he fell in love with her was because she had a cute shameless side to her; and he guessed he was right. Jace watched as his grandson hurriedly wiped away his quick-falling tears and took out the second page. "Dear, my treasure Jay. Hi son. It feels really weird writing to my son that is just right by my side. I know the good times will not last as the FA* will come barging in on a attack with your uncle. Who are the FA you may ask? Your grandfather will tell you that later. Why has your uncle betrayed us? The reason is that I have stolen my brother''s birthright as the second son. Your uncle, as the second son was supposed to get 30% of the commanding forces of the FL, but I couldn''t let my fellow brother in arms and sister in arms into a demon''s hands. I wouldn''t let them be destroyed right from beside me and definitely not by my own foolish brother''s hands. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I would not let this huge family die out. You''re probably thinking and asking me ''was it worth it?''. Hmm... if I think about it, not being there by your side with your mother is my biggest and most heart-wrenching regret. I hope you can come to forgive this horrible figure of a dad." Jay couldn''t hold the tears anymore, the past 13 years of feelings that he had bottled up deep inside, so deep so that he wouldn''t feel a thing, so that he wouldn''t be suffering. The bottled up feelings that slowly ate away his personality had been let open and the rush of all the pain, anger, sadness, heartbreak overwhelmed him like a tsunami. Jace could only sit by him, pat his back while Jay let out all the tears he swallowed up. ______________________________ FA stands for Fallen Angels ______________________________ END OF VOLUME 1 CH 56 After Jay had finally calmed his tears down Jace spoke about how this mess had started, and just how deep this undying red flame of hatred that had been nailed into the hearts of his so called ''son'' and daughter in law. When Jace was just graduated college and got his degree and business permit in the us, before he settled down and started he went to Korea to visit his remaining relatives. That included his Father and Mother, his adorable niece and her mother and finally his still single uncle. They all lived near each other except his uncle who lived down in Busan working as a manager in one of the most finest diners. His Aunt was a single working mother who was earning her living as a kindergarten teacher with a decent wage. He wasn''t on good terms with his uncle, but he would occasionally pay him a visit while he called up some friends that were living near Busan. In the span of a week he stayed with his mother and father for a few days before he made a trip to Daegu, and Busan before he went back to the US. Everything was perfect, he met his wife as business partners at first, before he fell deep in love with her. At first his wife didn''t like him and thought that he was just another brainless idiot that fell for her looks and wealth. But what swooned her heart was when Jace acted differently then the other men, he shamelessly admitted that he was a brainless idiot who fell for her looks, both her sweet and sadistic side. After he got married to her, they had a two sons and named him Noah and Andrew. He was an obsessive father when it came to his children which made the weight on his wife''s shoulders lessen. He and her wife spoiled Noah so much that they had already expected them both to be like those ungrateful brats, but to their surprised Noah grew up as a fine gentlemen while on the other hand Andrew was a brat who spent all the money on partying all night everyday. Then came the time to choose who will inherit and be the next head of the FL h had built from the bottom. Andrew thought that with no question that he would be chosen, but Jace knew that handing his first son the FL, it would be handing the gang to meet it''s doom. So he choose Noah, who was wooing the girl of his right hand man. Andrew only threw a tantrum but that was it. Jace thought that will be the end of it but oh no. Andrew wasn''t happy with the position that he was given, so he leaked info to the worst criminal gang the Fallen Angels. Who would have thought that Andrew would tell them to strike before the funeral of his own mother! Jace knew, so he delayed the funeral a week back so he can deal with the mess Andrew was creating. But the Fallen Angels were faster then that, they raided Noah''s house when the guard was not yet brought up. Jace was so broken, he lost the love of his life, he had to bury her, and worst of all with his son and daughter in law. Now that the ones that Andrew wanted dead was gone, he started gathering evidences and leads of the disappearing Fallen Angels. He was so short sided at the time that after he locked Andrew up in the chamber for traitors, Andrew came out and pleaded that he regretted everything and would take responsibility by raising his nephew of the brother he had killed. Of course Jace was hesitant, but he couldn''t bear to the the much clear resemblance in his grandchild''s face. So, he agreed but sent his left hand man to disguise as a butler to keep watch just in case. A few weeks went by without and worry and just when he had rid his worry away, the daily updates that his left hand man was giving stopped. At first he wasn''t alarmed before he finally received a coded message. He looked through the code, and panicked. The code that was sent was given to only those who were captured and about to be killed. He was a 2 hour flight away, he took the earliest flight and headed to where Andrew and his new wife was staying with Jay. Andrew had bought a house in the central part of a moderately populated city. Since Jace arrived at Andrew''s house unexpectedly and Jace even had the house searched. When he couldn''t find Jay, he went ballistic on Andrew and his wife before the wife caved in and told one of the maids to bring Jay and his left hand man out. "You fucking bastard! I shouldn''t have listened to Jace and should''ve killed you instead!" Noah''s brother in law, and brother of Yulia Noah''s wife tackled Andrew to the ground pouncing on him and bombarding Andrew''s reddened face with punching that turned the color ''red'' to purple and blue. He had beaten Andrew unconscious and was pulled off of Andrew''s body by his father who shook his head. He spoke a few words of wisdom. "No matter how much Satan has contaminated their bloods, he is still your brother in law." "Do not let vengeance blind you to turn you into one of them." CH 57 Jay''s P.O.V After hearing the full truth behind everything, I unconsciously had shut down all my senses and became the old me again. Lifeless, distraught and eyes that had lost it''s light to focus on. Atleast that''s what my grandpa described me as. I''ve been through this a million time in my past, I was weaker and younger. Now I''m stronger and grown up. My mental state is more stable, no more relapses. But Why?! Why the fuck do I feel this way? Why is it me? Always me who is suffering, who went through so much to find my ground only for the earthquake called life in reality to come sending me into the pit of the void?...Why....just fucking why?! What''s the point of having a good life with wealth, being a living genius when nothing helps with the pain? Hah, I knew it. I knew I would be back to blaming myself. Telling myself that I bring along a feel of ennui while I play tunes of melancholy from my heart over and over in my head. And soon enough it showers me with ice cold waters of self blame. Eventually It''ll be slowly chipping away at me until I crack; then break. It was times like this when people around me started to worry, asking me how I feel today and if I had eaten. I would answer them with a nostalgic nod or a short hum of my voice. They always went on their way right after my answer, not seeing my pale white face, nor my pained expression. Some people are blind but can tell if one is angry or sad just by their voice, but those who have the gift of sight, are blind when it comes to this. It makes me wonder if the gift of sight, voice and hearing is the real disability. What am I saying? I am lucky enough to have these gifts but unfortune that I want to throw it away. What doesn''t kill you doesn''t make you stronger. It leaves you in a state worse then death, wishing you were dead instead. "Jay Xaiver?..." a man''s voice calls out. "Are you Jay?" His voice seems familiar, is it deja vu? "Hey do you remember me? I met you near that cliff where you were fairly drunk." Cliff? I don''t remember being near any cliffsides in my life! But he knows my name. "I think you''ve got the wrong person." I notice that the man was fairly aged, age was starting to show on his chiseled face. He was just in front about a distance of 4 meters or so. "You probably don''t remember me then. I am your mother''s second brother." He starts to make his way closer to me. "And that makes you my nephew. I saw you a few times when you were younger. Before the death of my sister." I am face to face with my mother''s brother that he claims to be. Even if it may be true, I can''t just go around trusting claims. Not right now. "I''m so glad that I got to meet you, I want to catch up but I can''t bare to see my sister''s features represented on your face. It''s going to break me down once more." He pats my right shoulder. "I''m sorry that I let you suffer even if it wasn''t your fault that anyone died. I can take the heavy load off my shoulders knowing that you''ve grown up to be a fine young man." Before I can respond he had already left and turned a corner. Right. I got to find out all about my mother''s relatives. I need to get them protected. CH 58 Week has passed ever since Jay had a sudden meeting with his mother''s younger brother. He had cleared his mind and started clearing up the mess he had left behind. When Jay went and talked to Amber she was left with the words that told her to wait for him before he turned and left. She didn''t try to stop him, she knew that it was useless. So all she was left with was the retreating back of a broken person. All she can do was assist him in his next journey and pray that he will come back. Because the final battle is a dangerous catastrophe. It is kill or be killed. Jay explained briefly about his next steps and Jace nodded in approval. In the span of a year Jay would go around tracing the untraceable prints of the Fallen Angel''s and evidence that would surely put Andrew and his wife in their place; a jail cell. That night Jay bid farewell to Jace who patted his back one last time. ... Andrew flared up in anger as the company that he had left has been bankrupt and he has to make up for the 50 million in losses. He was pissed. What could have gone wrong? First that bastard Jay is still alive and well, while he was filing for bankruptcy! Andrew didn''t calm himself and even threw any object he could grab to his wife who keeps and annoying him for his cards. "Can''t you see why my company has fallen?! It''s because of you and that money wasting daughter of yours! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!" His wife ran out of his room and went to her daughter''s room since she knows that if he sees her in his study or the master bedroom, she''d pay the price. It wasn''t her fault at all nor her daughters, but she knew better then to voice that out. A few hour later, a group of lawyers, attorneys and policemen came to their doorstep with a warrant for the house to be returned to it''s owner. "WHAT THIS IS MY HOUSE I FUCKING BOUGHT IT!!" For Andrew that was the last straw, his company has fallen and his properties are getting deceased. "The original house deed has Noah Xaiver as the name. So does all your other properties except one. The one near the son of Noah Xaiver''s mansion, property name of Xaiver Mansion, about 88 acres belong to you out of 2000." "Fuck!" Andrew couldn''t believe that he only has 70 acres of that mansion. It''s probably the ''small'' guest house he had lived in before. "Alright I''ll go." But he calm himself down and thought of this as an opportunity to get close and to be near that bastard Jay. "Alright I got it now get out. We''ll be out by tomorrow." For now, he''d stay quiet and lay low. At least his priorities are clear, he needs to get a job in that company of his dad. He''d surely give him a place as director of a branch won''t he? --- --- --- Jace was enjoying a nice little inspection of a branch in China when he got a call from Andrew. He thought it was weird since Andrew hadn''t called in months. "I''m coming back to the house with my wife and daughter." Jace''s face scrunched up in annoyance. No greeting nor any respect for his own father. "Stay in your part of the property." He ended the call and went back to inspecting the building. ... Amber missed Jay already. It hadn''t been a day since he left but she was deathly missing him to the bones already. If she was any other girl, she''d be bawling her eyes out but she wasn''t just some other girl. Instead of being useless she went back to helping her father with work and management of the gang. "Felix your slacking off!" Right now she was overseeing Felix''s training process. "Is your leg useless? Are you a crippled grandma? Your flexibility is lacking! Raise your damn leg higher!" Felix was receiving Amber''s wrath. She had a reputation of being a ruthless instructor. "Your already tired?! No wonder ladies like you! You have no stamina! Go run laps!"
