Twiddling his fingers on his desk, Kai was sitting in his office at the Wolf's Pool Club, but once again, he wasnt on his own. He was with Olivia, and both of them had their masks next to them.

What a very interesting development. Olivia couldn't help but note with a devious smile. Tell me, did you know this was going to happen?

Shaking his head, Kai smiled back. Do you really think I somehow have the ability to see into the future? The only thing I can say is, people are more predictable than you think. There are only so many scenarios that I can account for, I just do what I can to prepare for all of them equally. Even now, I am unsure as to what will happen.

Looking toward the staircase Olivia folded her arms. Sometimes I forget that youre just a 17 year old brat. If only you were a few years older.

Sorry, but even though you look this young, Im not really the type to date someone who is-

Before Kai could finish his sentence Olivia had pulled out her whip, her eyes shining blue as she dared him to finish the sentence. The teenager knew better than to piss her off.

For the day, the Wolf's Pool Club had been closed, and upstairs the rest of the core members were present. Innu, Marie, Austin etc Unlike those below, they were already dressed in their masks. They stood in place waiting for the double doors to open.

Eventually, they could hear the sound of cars from outside. Two black cars with tinted windows had arrived, and coming out of one of them was none other than Harry Cardnez, followed by his close aide Will. The young man was his newest personal assistant and had a tendency to be on point, having a tablet in his hand, black thick frames and a perfectly tidy clean suit.

I cant believe it. Will grumbled, shaking his head. They have asked you to meet in a place like this, in this area? This is nothing like the last time! Was that all for show?

Harry had called up Kai asking for another meeting after their last, and to be honest Harry himself was surprised about the location change. He had never seen a gang operate from such a small place.

Will, remember why we are here! Harry lectured the young man as he continued to walk forward.

Like the time before, from the other car there were members of the Freaks, one from the car they were riding in and two in the other. A lot had to be left back in the city, in case of more attacks.

Walking side by side Harry and Will went to the doors pushing them open, and as soon as they saw the others standing there with the masks on their faces they knew they were in the right place.

The person you are waiting for is ready to meet you downstairs. Marie said, as she walked over. As a girl with a small frame she seemed like the perfect choice to guide their guests, without putting them on alert. What didnt go unnoticed were the Anti-Altered weapons that Marie had strapped around her side, a spear and a crossbow tied to her back.

Sir, I dont like the feeling from this place, this could very well be a trap. Will whispered while covering his mouth.

We have no other option. Harry replied as he walked forward following the masked girl.

She went down the stairs first while the others remained upstairs in case there was anything strange that went on. When they finally reached the bottom, they could see Kai sitting at his desk and Olivia standing by the side, both with their masks on.

Harry started to look around the room, to see if there was anyone else, but he seemed unable to find them.

If you are looking for our leader, he isnt here. He is a busy person, you see, and since we dont know the outcome of this meeting, I hadnt asked him to come along. Kai explained.

Will was burning up inside. Even for a gang, the whole thing was disrespectful. Kai hadn't come and greeted the owner and now the leader of the gang wasnt even here. Still, unlike last time, Harry seemed to ignore all of that as he used a hand to tell the others to stay where they were as he got in front of Kais desk.

I have one question first before I tell you my request. Harry stated, while Kai remained silent. Did the Scatterbugs request for you to attack Notsburg?

Bringing both of his hands up towards his mouth, Kai was hiding his smile from the others and only Olivia could see it at that moment.

Yes. Kai answered after a heavy pause. They even offered up a very nice incentive.

Immediately, after hearing the answer, Harrys set of actions was shocking to everyone in the room. He fell to both of his knees, and placed his hands and head on the floor.

Our two groups were once close to reaching a deal, but in the end I decided to look for other opportunities, which is why right now the only thing I can do is plead, no beg for your help.

I dont know why you didnt agree to help the Scatterbug group, but Im sure you are aware of the situation. We, the Cardnez group, are asking for your help! If it is within your power, I want you to save our company and in return we will become a part of the Howlers group.

Sir, how could you?! Will shouted. You put your blood, sweat, and tears into building this company from the ground up. How could you give that to a gang, a Tier-3 gang that we dont even know if they can help or not?!

SILENCE! Harry shouted at the young man by his side. Whats the use of all my former achievements in out current situation? If we do nothing now, then there will be no company left!

It was more than that, Harry knew the likeness of the Howlers accepting such a thing was unlikely. Because them getting involved could mean the end of them as well. It was a crazy idea, for two Tier-3 groups to team up to take on the other Tier-3 gangs as well as the Scatterbugs, but this was his last hope.

Before Kai could give him an answer, he could see his phone ringing.

Im sorry, but this is a very important call.

Once again this was angering Will, but this time he bit his tongue, as Harry was down on his knees it was the least he could do.

How are you doing, Green Fang? Kai asked.
