A Wicket Plan 2

Flashback [Twenty-five days before kidnaping]

---------------------------------------------------------------

Every power hungry person want to hold the rein of powerless human around them, and make them dance with their finger tips. Life is a game of chess, the strongest player who stays and holds his ground, while killing other small player wins. And more the hight rank you have, the more easier it gets.

Jonathan , King of Baronington Nicolas's private secretary and adviser. He was the vicious snake you don't want to mess with, the story of his loyalty has always been a example. Even in the enemy's state. He was like the calm snake with venom that would kill you in a second. Being a man in his late fifitoes , he was still very much fit to compete with the best of athletic in town. With slightly greyish hair , and blue eye that could always see through someone's soul, did definitely make Jonathan a man who one shouldn't mess around with.

And as much as vicious he was, he would never utter a word of of contradict from his mouth, no matter how nasty the work his employer has given him. He would silently bow down his head to any other that had been passed my his majesty, Nicolas.

"Jonathan, are the files ready? Did you find the list of girls who can come here and do the task?" Nicolas sat in the rocking chair near the window of his room. A man shaved his beared while a beautiful opera was played in the old gramophone.

Jonathan whispered a small yes. His sat in the posh couch just opposite to the bed , a mess of files were in front of him at table as he tried to sort every profile of girl he found who would do this job without cross word.

After shaving , he stood up from his chair and gestured Jonathan to wait from him in the study room. Jonathan nodded and gather all the files , bowing down slighty to Nicolas, he walked away.

Nicolas took a strong ,confident stride toward the study area. The morning guards who guard the palace bowed as he walked past them. The aura of him screams danger, in his black formal suit he looked like a man one shouldn't mess with. The two guards who stood next to the door of the study room , saw him come, did a quick bow and opened the door for Nicolas to enter.

He entered, and just before they were about to close the door, he slightly turned his head, "I was no one to disturb me in the next 2 hours." He commanded while the guards nodded meekily.

Turning he walked inside as he huge mahogany door closed behind him.

"Jonathan, what did you find until now show me. And please give me each and every details of the girl you have found so far. I would like to go thought that and select who will be perfect for the role. And I don't want any single bit of mistake." He commanded and sat in his study, a couch was placed for Jonathan and he kept the files next to him after bowing to the king.

"You highness, so far we have found exact 20 girl who matched with the criteria that you have told me. But I am still doing so last minute checking in them." He said and placed a big file in front of Nicolas and then turned to get the laptop.

Placing it in front of Nicolas, he slowly displayed each and every picture of girl ,he found eligible for the role.

"..This is Adiel Middleton. She passed her highschool, just the perfect age of what you have told me. Her hair in very much similar to the description you have provided me, and I did a back ground check on her, he is very timid and meeky .She has gotten admission is one of the best college available in the country." Jonathan explained and Nicolas nodded looking at the picture of the girl and the looking that file in front of him when has all the detailed description about her life.

"And this is Avaline Baron, she is a drop out from highschool. She has been looking for a job for a while and has been playing small roles as a side artist in the movie industry." Jonathan said and show a picture of red head , with curly hair.

Nicolas nodded and then checked the file again to see the description.

"She is a girl in need of money, and with the back ground check that my investigator's did, she is in dire need of money. Her father is a gambler and lost a larg–"

"Don't you both think, you both are too old to find a mistress now?" A deep husky voice taunted. Nicolas fisted his hand in anger while Jonathan looked startled.

"How many time do I have to tell you, learn to behave just according to your post!" Nicolas' hand fisted the bunch of paper that laid infront of him, in anger.

"Come down, old man. I know how to behave, unlike you. I wonder why are you in such a dire need to find a girl for yourself. Wake up old man, you lost all your energy." The same voice taunted again, his shadow was the only thing that was visible. And that's how he was, no one knew the palace better than him. Vanishing in to thin air or coming an interpting an important discussion , with out having to bother the guard.

"I said enough!"Nicolas stood up, his nose flared in anger and frustration. "He turned his head toward the shadow that was just near the dark corned of the library, "If you don't live this room right away, you know what is going to happen!" His voice resonated around the room.

And just like he came from, he vanished into thin air, leaving a livid Nicolas and an embarrassed Jonathan behind.

"Send this file to my room and do the rest of the investigation on the girls. I will sort list ten them and then we have to select one." Nicolas stood up and commanded Jonathan, who bow after muttering a small yes.

He turned toward the wall that held every detail of the distractive plan that he has planned so far. Slowly walking toward it, he crossed another picture.
