The Delegation

Next Morning, Asher, William, Ryan, Michael and Rosie were sitting in the lawn, talking to each other while having coffee together.

Jaxon and Josiah arrived. They stepped in the lawn and smiled at the group.

"Hey! Good Morning". Jaxon moved closer to them.

"Good Morning Jax". William replied.

"Sorry for ruining literally EVERY morning of yours". Josiah said.

"Hey Josiah! Don't say that. We love it when you people come". Asher smiled.

"Yeah. I feel like if I'm becoming used to you people". Ryan added.

"Used to Vampires.. It can be dangerous". Jaxon chuckled.

"Haha". Ryan laughed out loud. "No I mean I was feeling bored without you people idk why".

"Hmm". Jaxon sat down on the grass. "There's another adventure waiting for you people". He said.

"Are we going to the research center?". Michael asked.

"Yeah". Josiah nodded. "Do you already know about it?".

"No". Michael shook his head. "You just mentioned it while telling about Ethan".

"Alright". Josiah said.

"Before telling the plan, gimme the necklace and the stone". Jaxon sighed.

"I'll bring them". Asher stood up and went into the house.

After a while, Asher came back with a square box in his hand. "There you go Jax". He handed it over to Jaxon.

"Whoa! You've kept them quiet safe!". Josiah exclaimed looking at the box.

"Yep". Asher nodded. "It meant more than my own life to me".

"Thank you Asher". Jaxon grinned. He turned to face Josiah. "Take this to my home".

Josiah obeyed. "Sure". He grabbed the box. "Gotta go fellas.. see you soon". Josiah waved at everyone and went away.

Jaxon turned to look at Michael with a smile.

"We Came to know everything about what happened at the museum. I'm amused bro! Henry's plan was 100% working! And Michael's punch was great! I loved it".Jaxon added. "Asher and Rosie did well too. When Josiah got noticed, I thought you'll get caught. But you managed to save him and yourself. I'm really satisfied".

"Thank you Jaxon. We REALLY WANT Ethan to be freed from all that pain". Rosie smiled broadly.

"You're such a nice girl". Jaxon said. "You remind me of Ethan. His thoughts and love for everyone was same as yours. He'll definitely love to talk to you". He continued.

Asher frowned at Jaxon comment.

Jaxon noticed Asher's reaction but he ignored it and smirked. He sighed and looked up at the sky. "Now only the youth elixir is left now".

"How are we gonna do it?". Ryan said.

"I have a really solid plan". Jaxon grinned. "My spies told me that a delegation is coming to meet The Hawleys from America". Jaxon elaborated. "We'll replace them with you people".

"It's quite difficult". William said.

"No it's not. It's more easier than killing a mosquito". Jaxon shook his head.

"Hmm". William nodded. "We're in". He said.

"Thank you William". Jaxon grinned. "We'll kidnapp the delegation from the airport and replace you people with them. They'll arrive one day before the meeting with The Hawleys. It's good for us. We'll get the time to figure out what we have to say over there. After our work is done, we'll let the real delegation go". He continued.

"What about stealing the youth elixir?". Ryan asked.

"You know what?". Jaxon sighed. "I have personal issues with The Hawleys. I want to destroy them. They're Monsters. I want to burn their research center and kill them".

"Hope you succeed". Michael said.

Jaxon smiled and patted on his back. "My success depends on you people".

He stayed with the group till evening. Asher went with Josiah to the hospital to help him steal the blood bags and Henry was not in the picture the whole day.

Everyone sat in the lounge, watching a movie with Jaxon.

Suddenly, Michael asked a question. "What happened to that stalker?".

Jaxon looked at him. William paused the movie. "Yeah! I was about to ask the same thing".

"Josiah killed him. He was Josiah's bitter enemy. Well, Monsters are at enemity with every Vampire but with Josiah, he gad some personal issues". Jaxon replied.

"Personal Issues? Like what?". Rosie asked.

"Josiah killed his girlfriend". Jaxon said as a smile appeared on his face.

"Why?". Ryan was surprised.

"It was just a fight Ryan. She messed up with Josiah on the way to the trial..". Jaxon stopped not saying anything further. "I'm sorry guys.. I can't tell you anything further It's Father's order not to tell anyone anything about_ The_ TRAIL".

"Sure". William nodded. "It's okay".

Jaxon smiled. "Thank you for understanding".

After an hour, Josiah and Asher came back. "Jaxon". Josiah said as soon as he entered the lounge.

"What's up?". Jaxon looked back at him.

"Henry kidnapped them". Josiah replied. "They're five in number. One is the head of the delegation, One is his secretary, two managers and a bodyguard". He elaborated.

"Good. I already knew it". Jaxon said.

Josiah laughed at his comment.

"What are you going to do to them?". William asked.

"We'll not harm them. We'll just ask them some information about why they came here so that you people can behave that way when you go to the research center". Jaxon told.

"Sounds like an adventure". Michael said with excitement.

"C'mon let's go and meet them". Jaxon stood up.

Jaxon and Josiah took the group to Jaxon's home. It was more then a palace. Wooden Floor, Luxurious furniture and modern staircases.

"Wow". Michael's jaws fell. "This is MAGNIFICENT". He uttered in joy.

"Father's wife gifted it to me on my birthday_ I mean the day when became a vampire". Jaxon told everyone.

"I'm always jealous by this house". Josiah giggled.

"And I'm jealous by your SCENT". Jaxon said crazily, getting closer to Josiah's neck and smelt it deeply.

"Hell No". Josiah got annoyed. "Stay away Jax".

"Scent! I need an explanation". Asher was confused.

"You'll be unable to smell it. Only Vampires smell it". Jaxon giggled. "Haha. Just Kidding. Whenever he drinks blood, a special type of scent is given off by his body. Remember when you told him that his Cologne smells great, It wasn't cologne, It was the smell of fresh blood plus his sweat". He told Asher.

"Goodness! Wish I was a Vampire too". Asher sighed.

"You're good as a human Asher. It's difficult to be a Vampire. Especially when you have to hide from the monsters who are everywhere in the city". Josiah said. "We're unable to walk in our own land freely because of those bloody creatures". He became sad.

Jaxon patted on Josiah's back.

"It's gonna over soon Josiah". He said.

Suddenly, Henry came running downstairs.

"Are you going to stand here till morning?". Henry asked.

"We WERE coming upstairs.I was just showing them around". Jaxon replied.

"You're superior to me. I don't have a right to lose my cool but those people are annoying me continuously". Henry said.

"it's okay Henry". Jaxon grinned. "C'mon guys! Let's go upstairs. From now on, we've got no time to lose".

Everyone went upstairs to a creepy, dark room.

Henry turned on the lights. There were five people including a woman, tied to chairs. They were trying to break free but Henry tied them quite tightly.

"Untie them Henry". Jaxon ordered.

"You bastard! What do you want?". A guy said angrily as Henry untied them. He stood up and came closer to Jaxon but Josiah blocked his way.

"You're the head of the delegation, Right?". Jaxon asked as he gestured Josiah to leave the way.

"I wouldn't allow Andrew to do this. You're his dog right?". The guy said.

"I'll take that as a yes". Jaxon smirked.

Henry tied all the guys and Rosie untied the woman to show sympathy. She smiled at her so that she becomes satisfied.

"Why is Andrew doing this?". The guy asked.

"Doing what?". Henry threw the shackles and ropes at a corner.

"Why has he kidnapped us? How did he came to know about the real reason of my arrival?". The guy elaborated.

"Oh! So you came here for no good!". Josiah exclaimed.

"Yeah". The woman spoke. "We are here to cancel out every treaty with your masters".

"Andrew Hawley is not our master". Jaxon told.

"Then who are you?". Another guy asked.

"You'll tell me your names first. How do you appear in Taylor Research Center and why did you came here". Jaxon sat on the couch.

"It's clear that you're angry at The Hawleys, We too are. Maybe if you tell us everything, We become allies and fight those bastards together". Josiah shrugged.

The guy looked back at his team and sighed. He kept quiet for a while to think what to do. "I'm Edward Taylor, My father Callum Taylor sent me as the head of the delegation team. This is my personal assistant, Edda (he pointed at the woman). These two are my dad's managers and that one is my bodyguard". The guy told.

"Good". Jaxon looked at his nails. "Now tell me your reason to come here".

William, Rosie, Asher, Michael and Ryan were listening to them carefully.

"The Hawleys are a fraud". Edward said.

"No doubt-". Jaxon nodded. "Tell me something I don't know".

"Andrew Hawley, together with his wife, Debra Hawley, signed a treaty with our company in the year 2015. My dad invested a heavy amount of money in the project to research upon the weird species of Hoia-Baciu. It's been two years and they have not sent us even a single report about what they have did so far. My Dad called them to tell them that he is sending a delegation team to Romania to sign another treaty but that's a lie. We came here to file a case against them and get them arrested for fraud and corruption". Edward explained briefly.

"Do you ever met The Hawleys before? Anyone of you?". Jaxon asked.

"No. Never. It's the first task my Dad handed over to me. All of these team members are fresh graduates, new in the company.

"How much money did your father invested?". Josiah asked.

"33 Million Dollars". The woman replied.

"You've got any file, proof of the partnership? Anything?". Jaxon asked.

"It's with me". Henry said.

"Yeah". Edward nodded. "That guy took everything from us before kidnapping us". He looked at Henry.

"Nice work". Jaxon smirked. "Henry! Take Rosie, Asher, Ryan, Michael and William to another room. Give them all the documents and manuscripts so that they can read them once". He instructed.

"Sure". Henry obeyed and took them to another room.

"Who are you?". Edward asked.

"I'm Jaxon". Jaxon told a wrong name. "I had a partnership with The Hawleys, they ruined everything. They drowned my money just like they drowned yours. I just want to take revenge". Jaxon replied.

"We'll send our people instead of you people. We know much better how to get the money back. But we're just searching a way to go into the research center. If you people collaborate a bit and allow us to replace you people_ I promise we are not fraud. We are their enemies and want to waste them both. Only you people can help us". Josiah convinced them to help.

"How will you get your and our money back? How will you get them arrested? What will you do after getting into the research center?". Edward asked.

"Getting the money back is my duty. I gave a solid plan to get them arrested. We'll tell you soon. As for your last question_ We'll blow the research center into ashes so that the fire of betrayal that is burning in my chest cools down. Tell us_ will you help me?" Jaxon said.

"If you Betrayed'_". Edward was interrupted.

"We won't". Josiah replied.

"Fine". Edward sighed. "I'm trusting you people".

"Thank you". Jaxon grinned. "As soon as the job is done, I'll give your money back to you and let you go. Till then, you can stay here at my place and feel at home". He stood up, adjusting his jacket. "Pick up any room in the house where you feel cozy".

"I'm a bit hungry". Edward said.

"We'll prepare the dinner soon". Josiah replied shortly and followed Jaxon out of the room.

"Whoa!". One of Edward's manager exclaimed. "They were very handsome not gonna lie".

"Yeah". Edda nodded.

"Let's go out and search for rooms". Edward said.

Jaxon and Josiah went into the room where Henry took the group to show the documents.

"We read it all". Asher told them.

"Great". Jaxon smiled. "Listen to me guys. Be really really careful please. Tomorrow is a big day. You people will risk your lives. Lemme ask you people, Are you ready?". he was a bit afraid.

"We are ready". William replied.

"All you five will go. Don't make ANY mistake". Josiah warned. "Otherwise, you all will die together. Don't forget they're Monsters".

"We will do it". Ryan said.

"Yes! We're ready". Rosie added.

"Alright; Asher will be the head of delegation, EDWARD TAYLOR. Rosie, you'll be his personal assistant, EDDA. Ryan and Michael will be your manager and William, you'll be Edward's bodyguard". Jaxon told.

"Got it". Asher said.

"Hmm". Jaxon nodded. "Now let's prepare a delicious dinner". He said and went into the kitchen.
