"You didn't tell me he had a kid!!" Jay yelled. Alex looked unfazed and stood still. The ginger couldn't believe how calm he was in such a situation, "I guess... I forgot" he looked away -his eyes empty. Jay could tell he was trying to be cocky -he had delt with assholes like that enough- Jay banged his fist on the table and tired to hold back tears.

"Congratulations" Alex said after a brief silence. Jay glanced at him, furious. "On what exactly you son of a bitch?!" Alex was silent- Jay got more frustrated, "I can't be held accountable for something like this. " Jay sighed, "Getting angry over such a small thing makes you weak" Someone else interrupted the two. Jay tensed as the hairs on the back of neck rose up.

Hans leaned on the doorway with a stern expression. Jay didn't move as he walked up to the two and kept his hands on the two's shoulders and squeezed it. It hurt Jay but he didn't say anything as he leaned closer between the two, "Think of this as your first step into joining us" Jay didn't like the sound of that but kept his silence.

"I'll let Clouse know about your first target"

"What about the girl?" Jay asked. Hans shrugged, "She's growing up knowing and careful about not making the same mistake her daddy did" Jay's eyes widened, "You motherfucker..." Hans squeezed his shoulder tighter and Jay squirmed in pain. Hans let go and patted him in the back, "Careful what comes out that mouth of yours- it got you here and it might as well take you out-" Jay rubbed his shoulder and glared.

"You two stop arguing -its pathetic sometimes. You're free to go wherever you like in the time being" he smiled as if nothing had happened. Alex nodded and smirked at Jay. Hans left and the two were alone again, "A walk to uh, tower bridge then?"

"Go fuck yourself. I'll go on my own" Jay pushed passed him into his room and slammed the door. Alex stood in the closed door and rolled his eyes, "Get your shit together Alex, you've got better things to do than this bastard" he ran a hand through his hair and sighed, "I should look into that cop" he muttered to himself and walked away.

Zane stood beside Lloyd who paced back and forth. "Can I speak?" Zane raised an eyebrow.the blonde didn't answer so the other took that as a no and stood silently.

"Chasing him isn't going to do any good-"

"You're keeping information from us- perhaps regarding Jay-?"

"No. Nothing." Lloyd turned fiercely. Zane looked unbothered and stood taller. "I told him not to go" he shook his head, Zane tried to be reasonable with the blonde, "So, do you want to go to London?" Lloyd kicked the wall, he ran a hand through his hair and tried to think,

"How did you find out?" He turned to Zane. The boy looked away -trying to dodge the question. "...Zane??" Lloyd said firmly. Zane sighed and took his phone, "Kai's car was missing and well, he wasn't at home to curfew"

"You creep me out sometimes" Lloyd gave him a look, Zane shrugged, "yes... That is... Acceptable" he went red. " Lloyd turned to him and paused his lips, "I am not going anywhere"

"Even not for your team?" Zane crossed his arms. Lloyd sighed, "Don't give me that look" Zane raised an eyebrow, Lloyd bit his lip, "Jay is too long gone -And we look somewhere else"

"I know you haven't given up on him- whatever maybe happened- Jay was apart of the this team and I for one... Want his company back. " Zane didn't want to admit it but he missed Jay yelling at Kai on a daily basis. Lloyd looked considerate for a second but closed his eyes, frustrated. "Then why don't you go yourself? You don't have to be taking orders from a 17 year old. Who am I Zane? You're an adult and I have no control on what's happening right now..." He trailed off, scrunching his shirt.
