Our Challenge

Rest is Up to You.

Kade POV

I am in the planning room looking at what we have so far. Caleb walks in and looks around.

"So my dad is really putting you guys through hell, huh?" I look at him and then back at the board.

He looks at the board, "What happens to me and Beckham after this is all over?"

I look at him and he is looking at a file, "Why?"

He looks at me, "Because I need to know if you're going to let us go or are you going to kill us at the end of this."

I sit down and rest my head on my hand, "Let you go? No. Kill you? No."

He sits down in front of me, "Your brother may be able to go and live a normal life after all this, but you on other hand will be stuck with us."

He raises his eyebrow, "Why?"

I stare at him, "You are an escaped psychiatric patient. You can't live a normal life and not only that you like to kill for fun. Do you really think you can live a normal life?"

He lets out a small groan, "But I just reunited with Beckham. Now after this is all over he can go, but I have to stay with you? Can't I just get a whole new identity?"

I shake my head, "No, you can't. Beckham doesn't have to go. He can stay with you, but that's up to your brother if he wants to stay."

He puts his head down, "I don't want Beckham to go."

I look through some files, "Then ask him to stay."

He keeps his head down, "I don't want him to force himself to stay."

I read over some more papers and call for Nancy. She comes in and looks at me.

I look up from the file, "Do you know where Zaiden's kill list is?"

She nods her head, "Yes, he left it in the living room on the coffee table. Do you want me to bring it to you?"

I nod my head, "If you don't mind."

Shadows and Blizzard come running in. Shadow looks at me and I pick him up. I rub his head and Caleb plays with Blizzard.

Nancy comes back in and hands me the kill list. I hand it to Caleb, "Find a name. You and Lyric will be going on your own. We need to see how well you work with Lyric."

He takes the list out of my hand, "Why is Lyric so special? Do you work for her dad and have to keep her happy so her dad won't kill you." He teases.

I look at him and show him a half-smile, "Oh, I haven't given you the rundown about Black Dragon."

He raises his eyebrow, "My dad was the former leader of Black Dragon. Along with Jasmine's father. I am now the leader of Black Dragon along with Cain Pry. You'll meet him sooner or later."

He tilts his head, "Why isn't Jasmine the leader if her dad was the former leader?"

I sigh, "An unexpected thing happened in the past for her not to be."

He hums in response as he looks at the list and rubs Blizzard's head, "Okay, so why is Lyric so special?"

I lean back in my chair, "Lyric likes to go off on her own. Not only that, she doesn't listen to just anyone. Lyric loves to kill. She gets upset if she hasn't killed anyone for a while. We have to make sure she is willing to work with you."

He looks out the window and then back at me, "Is that really it?"

I shake my head, "Nope, but my dad won't tell me what else. Cain doesn't even know. My dad is very much focused on Lyric and I don't understand that. You would think he would want to focus on someone else."
