CHAPTER NINE
Jillian
MY EYES FINALLY FLUTTERED OPEN. It's good to see all of them again. Cass, Max, Prince Harry and James and...Tyler? Wait is my eyesight still intact? But before that was answered, questions blasted to my hearing.

"Are you alright?"

"How are you feeling?"

"Oh, shoot! It's only ten minutes till twelve!" Tyler, I think, exclaimed, with a worried face while looking at his watch, as if he wanted to rewind time.

Tyler? Is that really you?

"And what is that have to do with this?" Prince Harry said in a whisper.

Tyler glanced up to us, "You say you're looking for a file? Let's say, an important book?" We all nod, except for me as I was curious and as I sat up.

"Tyler? What are you doing here?"

Is he going to help or something? Did he follow us here?

"He's a Trunk that works here, Jillian," Cass said in a sad way as she looked at me sympathetically.

Okay...what?! I was far from confused that it's an understatement. How on earth could he even manage to pull that off?! He worked as an Extra and now he suddenly works as a Trunk?! How is that even possible?!

"But, but...how?! Y-You work every day at the restaurant as an extra a-and now your saying you're, you're...a Trunk?! Impossible!" I stammered. Everyone was surprised by my sudden voice and statement, I would be too if I were them.

"I was...well, also earning money as a cook there...and I needed it for my mother's cancer," he explained while scratching the back of his neck.

He did tell me that he was trying to earn enough money for his mother's cancer but he never told me he was working there as a second job.

"You expect us to believe that lie when you earn more than enough as a Trunk alone?" Prince James asked mysteriously with a hint of anger in it.

He had a point there. Trunks earn triple the amount the Greens earn, same goes for Branches.

"I needed even more than that for my mother's case! She could have died sooner!!" He said in all seriousness that made me believe him, but in the Royal Highnesses case? Not that much.

"I guess that explains it, do you guys think?" Prince Harry said tiredly.

"We'll let this slip for now." Prince James said tauntingly that it was quite scary.

"As you wish, Your Majesty." Tyler bowed in front of the two princes', rather mockingly might I say.

I sighed, well at least that's over.

A sudden knock brought us all back to reality. "Is everything clear in there, Commander Tyler?" And hell broke loose from then on.

This cannot end well.

Maxxine
Maybe it was Jillian's outbursts or all the commotion in here, but there's a Trunk right on the other side of this door and none of us can afford to be caught.

"You three hide under the bed! James! You and me take the bathroom. Tyler! Answer the door! Before he gets suspicious! Break!" And with Harry's plan, less than five seconds we have taken our places.
