Milo's Pov

I woke up to the metal door being opened. I quickly sat up and looked at the guard. He was wearing black sunglasses for some reason he's not even outside.

"Chore duty today." He said, as he threw a bucket of cleaning supplies at me I flinched and he laughed then walked away.

I picked up some of the supplies that flew out of the bucket. I then stood up wincing as the pain increased in my body. Noah was in a different room. They think we're too powerful together.

As I walked out of the room there were different lines of kids. There was a line with just the white kids, a line with just black kids, asians, mexicans, etc. Yeah, they're racists, are you surprised?

I got in the line with the whites behind Noah. His eyes don't glow like they used to. It's just filled with sadness and fear. I gave him a small smile but he didn't return it. He hasn't talked to me since we left the treasure room. And that hurts me worse than the abuse.

We were forced to clean the entire building. I don't even know why we have to clean. They have maids. But I think they just do this to torture us even more.

Everytime I bend over or move just a little pain enters my body, making the air get knocked out of me. This would at least take us ten or more hours to clean every room in this huge building.

"I'm done dusting." I told an inspector, he swiped his gloved hand across the bookshelf and then looked at it. "Good." He said, then left to check on the others.

I really wish dad could just come find us. I wonder what they're doing, crying, searching, or something. I already know that Eli is having a rough time without us.

I felt someone slap me in the face. I winced and looked at the inspector. "Keep cleaning." He told me, I nodded and quickly grabbed a sponge and began cleaning the floors.

I looked over at Noah who was also cleaning the floor. He looked like he was trying not to cry. I wanted to hug him and tell him it was gonna be alright but that would only get us in even more trouble.

I scrubbed some more and then wiped some sweat off my forehead then continued cleaning. I heard some snickering. I looked over and saw Lilyana and Kylen. They were Danny's kids, they were his copycats.

"Mmmmm this is some good food right Kylen?" Lilyana asked, as she took a bite of her pizza. I tried to ignore them but the smell of food makes me want to snatch it away from her and eat it. But that'll end me up in the treasure room or in the corner. The corner isn't as good as it sounds. I'd rather get beaten than sit or stand in the corner for weeks or months.

I heard footsteps coming over to me. I rolled my eyes and looked up and saw Kylen. He was just a few years older than me.

"What are you looking at?" He asked, as he spat at me. I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths trying so hard not to lash out on this kid. Danny's kid.

If I even utter a word to them I'd be dead and Danny would be the one to kill me. But would death be that bad? I mean I won't have to be beaten or yelled at. I'd be free. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad.

"I'm done cleaning." I told the inspector, he looked at the floor and nodded and checked it off his notepad. I glared at Kylen as I walked away and he snickered.

Just wait guys I have something stored for you and those fucking piece of shits that work here.

Dad's Pov

"Hello?" I heard a man ask over the phone. "Hi I'm James Harrison. I'd like to know if you're still hiring." I said, and the man told me to wait a moment. "Yeah we're hiring." Another man said, and I saw Eli's face go pale.

"That's Danny." He whispered, and I nodded. And then held the phone close to my ear.

"The application is on the website, you just need to fill it out then we'll go from there." He told me, and then hung up the phone.

I went on the application part and looked over at the questions. I typed in my fake name, fake email, real phone number, etc. I looked at the positions there. There were guards, inspectors, nurses, chef, cleaner, and lifeguards.

"Click guard." Eli told me, I nodded and clicked it. I submitted the application. And waited for the call.

"Don't worry he'll call you soon." Eli said, and I nodded and as soon as I looked back at the phone it rang. "Hello?" I asked. "This is Danny, the manager from earlier you're hired. I'll see you Wednesday at The Vertex which is at Monument Avenue, be there by ten A.M no later or else you're fired." He said, and I rolled my eyes.

"Yes sir." I said, and he hung up the phone. "I got the job." I said, and gave him a small smile, he shook his head. "Good now when they tell you to do something you do it. But act like it. They're gonna tell you a lot of stuff that you will not want to ever do in your life but if you want Milo and Noah you'll do as I say." Eli told me, and I nodded. Damn when did he start acting like me?

"Let's make some calls first. There is a lot more security there than you think." Eli told me, I nodded and began making lots and lots of calls.

Noah's Pov

I looked out the big window of the big library somewhere where some of the guards don't bother to go. I watched as the guards shoved a girl and walked past her. I sighed. I guess this is my life now. I'd thought since dad was the mafia boss he'd find us by now but I guess we're not important to him as I thought. Just because me and Milo aren't his biological sons.

"Noah." I heard Milo whisper. I turned around and looked at Milo. He had a black around his left eye. There was a scar on his left cheek. Stitches on his left arm from one of the guards cutting him.

"I have a plan." He told me, I nodded and looked at him. "Tomorrow we're gonna make a blueprint okay and we're gonna keep track of when each staff. And then you'll leave the rest to me."

I nodded and then he looked around then left. I sighed and looked back out the window. The guards and the kids were gone. It was now just the scenery. The outside looks better than the inside.

There was a big fountain in the middle of the grass, a stone pathway that leads to the lake where we were supposed to swim whenever they tell us it doesn't matter if you knew how to or not. Some bushes along the driveway filled with different cars.

I wish it was as beautiful here as it is on the outside. I sighed and walked away from the window. I saw a guard and I hid behind the wall. And watched as he walked away.

I sighed in relief and was gonna walk away when Kylen and Lilyana stopped me. "Noah right?" Lilyana asked me, I nodded and looked down.

"Follow us." She said, and they began to walk away. I hesitantly followed them. "Lilyana...Kylen." I heard Danny say I stopped dead in my tracks.

They groaned and ran over to Danny. "Come we gotta get everything ready for the party." He told them, and they nodded.

I sighed and walked over to my room, the only place I can be free for some time. It was like a prison cell. I got a small flat mattress and a small window with bars on them but that's about it.

I stared at the ceiling thinking of what Milo is planning to do. I mean what if he gets caught they'll beat him up, torture him, or something.

I just hope he doesn't plan on doing anything stupid.
