The Lords against DJ

DJ in the Curiosity

The next morning came slowly and peacefully, the warmth of the early sun glowed in every corner of the mansion and the melody of the birds harmonised with the soft wind. It was as if the world shifted into another spell and things quieted down a little while, no cryptic acts to follow, no overthinking over matters unseen and nothing to play nasty against. Instead, the comfortable silence calmed every anxious cell that threatened to raise its head and terrorised the ambitious thoughts from emerging at the wrong time....turning the day into a relaxing period.

lord Yael greatly enjoyed the charming day, basking in the sunlight straining through the sheer curtains, while he rested in the cushiony comfort of the recliner. Waking up later than usual, all fresh and well-slept, the lord had decided to spend the rest of the day on a similar pattern. He ordered his favourites from the chef and leisurely lounged in the living room ....irrespective of many matters that were on hold, requiring assistance from the lord.

Indulging in a hot, creamy coffee, Yael scrolled through his phone as he worked his long fingers to type a few things here and there. He cherished the calmness around him over the chaotic life filled with conspiracies and hatred... and enjoyed the panic he had imposed in the kitchen.

Hah.....It was so blissful while it lasted.

Nyxara appeared in the living room just when Yael placed his mug on the table, she bowed in respect and walked beside the lord while holding a bunch of things in her hands.

"Good morning, sire, she wished with a tight smile and Yael nodded once in acknowledgement. The older noticed the load with her and anticipated an update, he sat straighter, placing his device aside, and looked at her.

"Anything unusual?" Yael asked as he grabbed the tablet Nyxara extended in his direction, she nodded and pointed at the screen where a small boy was crouched behind a car in an empty parking lot.

"Received this footage today sire..." She began as Yael pressed 'play' on the screen "The owner of the club gave me a hard time for this mere data, he refused repeatedly until I had to dig my gun in his head" the right hand explained what she had to go through while collecting information, the behavioral details were significant since Yael narrowed his eyes instantly and looked at her sharply.

"Did he say why he refused, any reason perhaps that could expose what he wants to hide?" the lord inquired skeptically and earned a disappointed shake of the head from Nyxara.

"He simply refused sire...." She said, "But I felt he agreed more because he wanted to keep the secret rather than the fear of a weapon I aimed at him" Nyxara unfolded, recalling the expression of the owner and his weird, closed-off behaviour. Yael listened to her attentively, finding the odd behaviour of the owner strange but not surprising nonetheless, as he watched the video playing on the tab.

The small detective of his, hopping from behind car to car, produced an amused smile on his lips and Yael felt the tenseness in him dissipating. However, a certain angle in the video exposed DJ's whole self and Yael's smile faltered gradually, he watched DJ carefully as the boy inserted a card in the reader, wriggling in unease, and waited to get permission while stomping his boot-clad feet on the ground.

And that's when he noticed.

"His face is covered, Yael pointed, pausing the video and zooming in on DJ's face, while Nyxara peeked at the screen as well..... sharing the same query as Yael about the detective. DJ was smart about his disguise as always, covered from head to toe in case he could be seen or approached by people he knew from work or friends, but the trick of disguise didn't work this time and the boy was distinguished right away.

"But he is still getting targeted?" she asked with a frown, confusion rising in her, as she harked back on the reaction of that elite group from the club. On the other hand, Yael discerned the reality in a snap and placed the tab on the table with a long sigh, he picked up the case of cigarettes and ignited a stick, all dismayed while Nyxara watched him silently.
