The Lords against DJ

Genius Proposal

                                     Genius Proposal

As soon as the meaning behind those words surfaced, Tom uttered a quiet gasp behind his hands clutching at his mouth. What Lord Nova was practically saying is that, Detective Jerry should go to the town of Malia on his own and find Lord Yael to bring him back home.

"that way, the lead to the whereabouts of Yael stays in between us five and there will be no concern about any rat any longer" Nova explained further.

The proposal was genius in Nova's opinion but he failed to notice that he suggested the idea without considering DJ's desire. Whether the boy agreed or not, Nova felt like the decision was best in everyone's interest.

The man has said that like it wasn't a big deal, or that it didn't involve an innocent life completely at risk.

Tom had intended to earn some cash outside his monthly salary so he could hit a few clubs for leisure time but the turn of events didn't seem in his favour at all. This wasn't what he had expected before he decided to accompany his dear friend to the land of Lords.

Almost instantly the boy felt himself caught up in a scenario he would probably ignore against anything in his life.

The detective was no different than his friend. With wide doe eyes complaining as they travelled from one lord to another, the boy felt miserable. He couldn't dare open his mouth to tell the others no. Scared of the daring stunt and afraid of the consequences that might follow, he opted to remain quiet.

Nova stood waiting for his proposal to showcase any of the results but nothing came in return. He observed how the young detective felt conflicted and how his eyes were roaming between the others, a strange emotion swirling in his dark orbs.

The detective was clearly uncomfortable.

Ezekiel stared at DJ and felt his heart pierce with pain when he saw how traumatized the detective looked. The boy was so young and innocent. He didn't deserve such adventures which could take his life at one unfortunate moment but Ezekiel, a hopeful father, didn't have a choice that was as suitable as this.

He wouldn't want the boy to suffer just because he wants his son back but the idea proposed by Nova made sense in the best way.

The old man found the thought, suggested by his younger brother, relieving. If only the detective is ready to comply with the demands of the Lords, with his will, and the other things remain in their best interest unlike previous times, then the matter of Yael's rescue is as simple as solved.

Lord Ezekiel observed DJ from his seat, he discerned the constrained state of the young boy regarding the matter as he balanced every nook and cranny of the proposed idea in his mind.

The room went silent with all eyes waiting for the oldest to speak. Ezekiel was to give the final directions, the lord was the one who would decide any further action which made both Tom and Jerry squirm in unease.

Ezekiel stood up from his exclusive seat and sauntered towards the detective slowly. While Tom prayed to the powers above to show some magical mercy, Jerry held his breath as he watched the lord approaching him and finally standing tall in front of him.

The quietness that followed wasn't a good sign, Jerry knew it wasn't.

Ezekiel didn't utter a breath, he bore his eyes on the small, squirmy form of the detective as he contemplated many things in his sharp wit altogether.

The wait was long and the anticipation was killing Jerry inside.

"lo-lo-ord..." he whispered with a whimper, silently begging through his eyes and trying to convey his dilemma. But it all seemed to be falling on deaf's ears when Ezekiel started.
