Young Master Lucas

All the people present in the meeting room wore solemn expression as this time, the Chief will also be attending it.

One of the officers came in, "Let's start.

From what we know, the head of the Kraits is a guy of 25 years old known as the Young Master Lucas."

Behind him, the projector showed various photos taken from different angle in different places. Every time, he is with his butler.

"We have known that this Young Master was a child prodigy in mechanical engineering and weapon engineering. He is a man of many talents but he chose the wrong road to go down with his many talents. It is said that he had been building up the Kraits since 10 years ago. Everyone was oblivious to it, more like, didn't pay him much attention. With his father's backing and a support of an anonymous person, he has a strong foundation. Of course, he has many other relations too, this two is his major force and pillar. We have found the other one but we still have no clue about the other one."

Hearing that, Ansem's face darkened.

"The mole that we caught have been supplying him false information under our surveillance, they do not know yet that their mole has been captured. But it will not go on like this forever. Sooner or later he shall find it out soon. So we have to act it out soon."

"Also, on the table before you are the descriptions about every person that we suspect is connected to the Kraits except for that anonymous person."

Everyone glanced at the files and nodded quickly. Just after everything had quitened down, the officer giving the briefing swept a glance across everyone who was present in the room looking at him as if asking if there was anything else.

He had paused for a long time before he said,"One more important thing.."

Just as he said that, the ambience of the room turned solemn again all looking at him. Even the Chief who was at the head of the room was hinting at him to continue.

The officer coughed,"Ahem, we also know that Young Master Lucas is....a ...bisexual"

Just after he said that, he relieved a deep sigh in his heart and felt light. He looked up to see the expressions of the people wearing faces of incredulity. The atmosphere changed into that of complete awkwardness. One could even hear the imaginary crow passed by cawing above their heads.

Everyone quickly recovered themselves.

The meeting ended then and there.

After some time, the team was discussing the details when they were notified that one of the officers were there to visit.

A man in a highly decorated uniform, who had been in the meeting with them, with a stern demeanor, eyes razor sharped and dignified aura walked in and was greeted with most respect and determination. They knew him to be the most dedicated person to his job. He had persisted with sheer hard work and courage, he had reached where he is today. Everybody looked up to him very much. This man was introduced as Mr. Vaughlan.

He discuss many things with the soldiers, shared viewpoints and had a lively discussion.

Afterwards, Roger and Ansem followed him out.

Uncle was walking in front when he suddenly sighed and turned towards the two walking behind him.

"I have something to tell you two",he began with a heavy heart.

He continued,"You are cousins", and like that he grinned happily as if the person who had a heavy expression on his face was just an illusion. Both were surprised but Ansem wasn't for long before he snapped out of it...that was expected. He had seen the records. Roger was also surprised and knew it was expected that something would surely be between them but he didn't expect it to be so frankly revealed.

He couldn't keep calm,"He is too cold and aloof for my cousin."

"Yes, he is too talkative to be my cousin", Ansem added.

After they said it, they knew very well that they really were like brothers fighting childishly. Uncle saw that too and had a hearty laugh and walked away after patting the both of them on their shoulders.

After some time, the both of them went. No words were exchanged, both were in tacit understanding as to give space to themselves.

Going back, Amsem told Amber everything like a good husband. Amber was shocked at first but calmly got over it. She had the urge to listen to his uncle's story now..ahem her uncle-in-law. Is that correct? Ansem too didn't know much about his Uncle as he had always been an enigma to him yet a kind of familiar one.

Now the real problem....how do deal with Ansem's father. Is he really that other anonymous person? Or is it just a miscalculation?
