   “This is Lee Chan, our headquarters engineer”

   Engineer… Joshua’s eyes widened. “So he’s the one who makes all the toys around here??”

   “Yes,” Minghao smiled. “Wonderful, isn’t he?”

   “He indeed is,” Seungcheol said as he motioned for the brunet to sit down. “Chan here took the time to come from the first floor to my office to explain the purpose of the weapons you’ll be given, so pay attention and shut your mouths. I don’t want him to be scared of you two lowlives”

   At this, Jeonghan grinned and leaned over to Joshua. “Says the corporative slave” He whispered loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.

   This made the poker-faced youngster begin giggling, an action that caught Joshua and Jeonghan off guard. Watching Seungcheol sigh in annoyance and yet not call him out for it made them both stare at the trio with even more confused expressions than ever.

   Although Seungcheol noticed this, he decided to ignore it.  "One more comment from you and I’ll get rid of all the plastic knives and spoons you’ve been taking to your room, Yoon" He threatened.

   This made Minghao frown in disgust. “You’ve been taking plastic knives and forks to your room??”

   The comment made Jeonghan sigh. "Annnndd there goes my reputation”

   “Don’t worry love," Joshua giggled. "your reputation was already over ever since you decided to commit countless crimes”

   “Oh shut up Joshua”

   “Enough!” Seungcheol sighed. “Chan, please explain to these two idiots what they'll be using before I lose my calm”

   “Yes sir”

   With a smile, Chan pulled out an octagon shaped pad out from his pocket. He then placed it on the table and crossed his legs before he spoke. “As mentioned by boss, I am the headquarters lead engineer. For this mission, since it’s fairly quite easy, I thought our latest invention would be suitable”

   “You see, the object that I’ve placed on the table is actually a robot, as thin as it may seem.” He showed it off enthusiastically. “To activate it you press the middle which causes it to spring up and get those tiny legs out to move around. At the same time a camera, which is the half sphere on top, will come out. Through here we’ll monitor what the robot is seeing and what it’s doing”

   “How will it know what to do?” Joshua asked.

   “Well, the robot is programmed beforehand to do a certain action. In this case, we’ll program it to destroy or crash the electricity, which will be useful in case anything goes wrong.” Chan smiled. “Once you activate the robot, it’ll immediately set out to do its programmed action”

   “How neat,” Jeonghan grinned. “So, what’s the name of the bot?”

   The brunet cleared his throat. “I like to call it, the Plum Pudding Bot”

   “Plum Pudding?”

   “Yup, cause it looks exactly like one” He gave them both a wide smile. “Hao and Cheol thought it was a good name so I decided to keep it. I mean, it is a good name after all, right?”

   “It is,” Joshua said with a fond expression. “Say, how many of these will we use in the mission?”

   “Since these little rascals are very fast at doing their job, I would recommend taking three. Two in case you need to destroy the electricity and one to help with the recording of the conversation. Through the cam we can also identify who was involved, which will make it easier for us to track down or verify if Luna has been having anything to do with any other events”

   “Great, thank you Chan,” Seungcheol intersected. “I appreciate your patience with these two. They never let one finish explaining"

   At this, the younger waved his hand as he stood up. "No worries, Cheol" He said with a chuckle. "I think I'll have the bots ready by the end of the week. Once I get to the lab I'll make sure to tell Carat to bring them to your office once they're finished"

   Joshua raised an eyebrow. "Carat?"

   "Yup! Carat is the first bot I ever made. A carrier not to be exact"

   With a warm smile, Seungcheol placed his hand on the other's head. "Manz he's grown up so much hasn't he? An important aspect of our organization"

   An important aspect, huh?

   They say that now but in the future, when they find someone stronger, nicer, better, then what will they say? As close as Cheol, Mignhao, and Chan seemed to appear, Jeonghan couldn't help but look at it as bullshit.

   The whole exchange between the two was enough to make Jeonghan scoff.

   This, of course, was a very discreet action so it almost went by unnoticed. Almost. Two observing cat eyes had noticed were now staring at his every move, wondering why the hell did he have to act like a brat at a time like it.

   And just before the owner of said stare was about to ask, Minghao snapped his finger making him stop in his tracks.

   "Your training will begin at 5. Please be there early or I'll lock you both out of your room, got it?"

   With a groan, Jeonghan turned to face Minghao and blew him a raspberry, causing the other's eye to twitch. This, a reaction that had appeared ever since both inmates had arrived at headquarters.

   "Disrespect me one more time Yoon Jeonghan and I'll seriously destroy your plastic knife and fork collection" The threat actually sent shivers down the mafioso's spine.

   "Please don't" Jeonghan murmured.

   As everyone in the room began to pack their things up, the cat-like eyes kept on staring at Jeonghan with a worried glint behind them.

   You see, the earlier scene had confused as well humoured then. Because when Jeonghan scoffed, when no one in the room had paid attention to his childish attitude, Joshua noticed that there was a hint of jealousy in his expression.
