Fourteen

Luna smiles at her father sitting across from her, and turns to Akira who is holding a file.

"So, your youth Alpha's division is official and you now have accounts to settle." Akira hides his devious grin behind the report, "So, Jet this debt is only from this month alone, all the other times you stole from me have been forgiven."

Jet agrees, "4 million, and the Drago's agreed to paying for it."

Akira nods, "Yes, but I believe the others also made purchases?"

Jet nods, "Just Luna."

Luna yawns, "You'll thank me too."

Akira puts a hologram disk on the table and projects the list of purchases and the total amount, "Your debt excluding the 4 million, is at a total of 2.2 billion." He bursts into laughter seeing everyone's reaction.

Jet looks at her, "What?!"

Luna not getting what the problem is looks at Jet, "Everything I got is stuff we need. It's all essentials." She says to Jet.

"Not to be sexist, but this is why White Lotus keeps the woman in the waiting rooms." Helia comments shocked, he expected it to be a couple hundred thousand that Luna spent, but a billion is too much.

Milton goes through the list and writes down what was purchased on paper and looks at what it could be used for.

"Milton? What do you think?" Akira asks.

"It's all essentials, you just over did it with some purchases, you didn't need to plan 10 years ahead." Milton says.

"And that's where the difference between a man and woman is. I would like to have the security of knowing that we won't be starting today and a decade from now we are disbanded." Luna justifies her actions, and she is getting freebies on top of the bulk purchases, she is patting herself on the back.

Milton looks at her completely disagreeing, "It was not necessary. The only thing here that was worth the expense is the security we are going to place around the island and the beach. The Youth Alpha's HQ closer to school was okay, but all these chemicals are too much."

Luna looks at him, "It's not. They are increasing in price, and after the trouble Patu has gotten himself into they will be expensive. We won't be able to afford them."

Milton sighs, "Luna we own Patu's factories we can make our own."

"Yes, I scheduled it for renovations." Luna says.

"Why? We don't need the factory in Shark Well, of all the factories we could have taken, why that one?" Milton looks at the list again, her head is in the right place, she just forgot that the factory is theirs and they won't need to buy the chemicals and supplies from Patu.

"We do, and anyway, the factory is in an open space, we do have to clean up Patu's mess. He has poisoned the soil, people have some creepy diseases that side. We need to show up for them." Luna looks at Milton refusing to back down from her decision. She never hears anything from White Lotus that benefits the people, yet they claim to care for them.

Milton shakes his head, "We didn't agree to that, why didn't you at least ask what we wanted to do as a community project?"

Luna sighs, "It has to be done. The adults won't set foot in Shark Well, we have too. Those people are dying. Living horrendous lives. Patu spent all the money he was given to build them new homes. You cannot just leave them like that." She looks at him frustrated that she even needs to justify her choice to help the people.

"We are going to turn his hotels into apartments for them. I have already scheduled for the people in the areas surrounding the factory to be taken there and their houses destroyed." Akira tries to end the couples fight, it is not necessary.

"You're unbelievable. We're a team, you were supposed to discuss that with us." Rex looks at Luna, projects of that scale are none of their concern. She should not have even wasted so much money for a factory that might get demolished if the adults decide on it, "You should have talked to us first."

"No, you boys don't listen. You talk about weapons and cars, things that don't benefit the people." Luna crosses her arms, she just wants to get up and walk out of the room.

"We can do all these when we are done with school and can focus on it full time, how are you juggling this and school?" Milton asks.

"Simple. We have plenty of members who deserve to be promoted out of the office and handling small projects, and I made my choice, every last one of these projects are handled by someone who would kill to get recognized and become a govenor, or mayor or somewhere higher in position in White Lotus, they will handle this flawlessly." Luna clenches her fists frustrated he is not seeing things her way.

"And where does Jet's opinion come into this?" Milton rests his face in his palms convinced he's got her cornered.

"I did get permission. I asked if I could do something about Shark Well he said yes. I'm not an idiot." Luna exhales white mist.

Milton turns the hologram off, "Exactly what are the rest of us supposed to do? We don't have money to do the things we want."

"You don't need it. I bought what you need. All you have to do is work on the Tech, there isn't a single thing you could want and it's not on the list, anything we don't have, with the chemicals we can make ourselves. Not a single one of you has room to complain, by the time these projects are completed so will yours, and you can sell your Tech. Shark Well will be our play ground. It will be an empty space with not a single person living there, and the toxic environment will be clean. We can build our own city from scratch. Independent of the Government." Luna looks at her hand with a white mist and ignores it, "Anyway, Babe you're the one who said we need to relocate everyone at Shark Well while we still have the chance."

Jet looks at her, "Your plan is to get rid of everyone in Shark Well?" He blinks processing her words.

"Yes. We can do it too." Luna looks at Jet.

Jet who mentioned he wants his own city looks at Rex, "Her plan seems like it's worth a try. If Shark Well has no people the possibilities for that entire space are countless." Jet looks at his father, "Can we pull it off?" If it can be done, why not?

Akira sits back, "The amount of money we loaned the state, since 13 Years ago, when combined, every one in Shark Well by now should have a new household. So yes, but it would mean an even bigger battle against the state to move the people to the properties we give them," he looks at Milton who seems to be seeing things Luna's way, "We don't have enough room for the people." He can't over look that problem, "What do you plan to do about that Luna?" Her answer will decide if he entertains the idea or not. Something this big is only attractive on paper, to pull it off is nearly impossible.

Luna shifts in her seat to address Akira directly, "Half of the population are wanted criminals. Illegal immigrants. Some are going to die. Patu has poisoned the atmosphere and ground beyond repair, only powers can fix this." Luna sits back, "This new virus is going to wipe out over half the population in Shark Well." She expected White Lotus to do something before the issue was serious and they did nothing.

"Honestly people are dying out there. Patu paid the media to keep quiet about it." Bryce Silver says.

"Well I want the media telling everyone what Patu has done. We need to rescue those who are not already infected." Jet smiles, "We have a rare opportunity dad, we won't get a chance like this ever again. Shark Well is a waste land, no people should be living there." He wants that city and he doesn't want no for an answer.

"Absolutely." Luna adds.

"It is going to be Absolutely damaging to Patu's image." Rex adds to convince Akira, he seems hesitant, and Jet looks like he really wants this project.

Akira motivated by the idea of ruining Patu's image agrees to give the project a chance, "I will personally handle this Shark Well project. Anyone who is sick quarantine them in a hospital, when they die burn the bodies, do not offer them any medication. By the end of the year I want people dead or living in the apartments. deport anyone who has no legal documents no detaining them. Any criminal you find in Shark Well I don't care what the crime is I want them executed. This will force the criminals out of the city, only the people with nothing to lose or hide will be left."

Milton sighs, "Alright, than Luna you win."

Luna smiles happy to hear that something will be done about the matter.

Akira looks at Bryce, "Find out what other places Patu has contaminated. We Will use this as an opportunity to take property from the state. I want the rest of the Govenors sitting the parliament at the necks. I want this done by the end of the Year. No exceptions."

Milton looks at Luna dosing off like she was not in a heated argument, "So, this won't be credited to us? I mean it is our idea."

Akira looks at them, "I will credit you when you pay the debt. How are you paying for that?"

Jet smiles, "Well, we own a beach. We'll renovate it and it Will make money."

"Luna and I are going to work on music. We will famous pop stars, we could make a lot of money because I'm already popular since the second season of Diamons Aired, I have fans like never before." Bridget smiles.

Luna smiles, "I'll be at the top fashion academy. I will have a lot of high profile people paying absurd amounts for my designs."

"Actually it comes to me," Milton looks at Luna with a sly smirk, "Or did you forget I'm going to change your last name one day."

Luna's father tucks his chin, shocked by Milton's audacity.

Akira's jaw drops, he glances at Milton, that sent chills up his spine, "Ohh." He smiles, "Alright." That was a smooth move.

Luna blushes, "I'm married. Daddy, I'm getting married."

Bryce laughs, "He said one day, it's not happening any time soon."
