Knight in Sneakers

Chapter 40 'Next stop: Milan'

Entry 34 continue-

Clarke Augustan

I rushed to the tech room as soon as I entered the camp.

"Uncle Rick!" I shouted as I found my uncle talking to Gerald in the hallway. I hadn't seen my Uncle in a long time and seeing him now made me smile widely.

"My favourite doll, how are you?"

"Good until I received a call from Hedge about dad. I bet you heard the news way before I did."

"I'm sorry, hun. How are you taking the news?"

"I haven't heard all of it yet, just that he called."

"Well hurry on then, there's more to it. I don't know if you'll take it well though."

"Thanks for the warning. See you later, old man." I kissed him on the cheek and bid my goodbye to them. "Have a good day, Gerald."

"You too, Clarke."

"Highly unlikely." I replied making them laugh. I immediately took off to the tech room not being able to control the curiosity.

"You look like you just ran out from a comicon." Were the first words I heard as soon as I stepped into the tech room. His charismatic aura, sparkling smile, and his dark glowing skin with his built figure, easily made him one of the most handsome agents in the field. Meet Demetri Trump. As sexy as his first name is, his last name is quite the contrary.

"At least I'm not running around with Trump as my last name."

"You could be." He gave me a wink.

Even with a last name like Trump, Demetri could make me blush.

"Yeah, don't count on it. Your last name is the exact reason why I wouldn't."

"Yeah, Trump is a little turn off. Many girls have walked away because of that shit." Demetri wrapped an arm around my shoulder as he pretended to ponder over his past.

"Is that what they've been using these days an an excuse with you?" I replied back with a smirk hearing Hedge choke with laughter in the corner.

Did I mention Hedge and Demetri were cousins?

"And they come right back into my arms as soon as I say 'Demetri', love." His voice was very seductive and husky by the end of his statement. And the way his eyes twinkled as he looked down at me with that charming smile as he called me love, really left me speechless and dazzled.

"That's my sister, you fucking idiot." Mike grabbed Demetri by the collar and pulled him away from me as he entered the room with Franz. I let out a breath in relief, thankful for the first time my brother made his appearance. I wasn't stupid enough to like or crush over anyone else while I have Aaron, I mean the thought doesn't even occur, but when Demetri over there really did startle me.

"Kawaii!" Franz sang loudly as he pinched my cheeks hardly annoying me the second he entered the room. I pushed his hand away harshly and scowled at him. Franz and Mike weren't the best of friends but neither were they enemies. Franz didn't like Mike because of the clashes in their missions but somehow they found a way to build a bridge over it and become way closer than they did before. And honestly I'm not surprised. Bot of them have a lot in common, both of them are fucking annoying and fucking love annoying me.

"Okay, what was the call about?" I asked slowly after we all took our places. Mike just stood there with a grim look while the rest didn't bother opening their mouth, as their eyes did the job instead, trying to catch as much as they can from their favourite family soap opera, The Augustans.
