MISSION: 1D A Royal Pain

Chapter 5

KINDA SHORT BUT IM ON MY WAY TO CAMP SO I HAD TO GET IT DONE

"Woa." The band said at once.
"I am Mr. Bombay, but you may just call me Bombay. I am the head of the USSO. Please follow me and We'll have you eat while you listen to what your situation is." Mr. Bombay told them. Ethel was sure she saw Niall fist pump out of the corner of her eye.
"This is the main room, where all the main work is done." Bombay told them. "
"What's that way?" Liam pointed down a white hall that ended with two white doors.
"That is the left wing, where the rooms are. And the right wing," Bombay pointed to a hall to the right of them, "Is where the Cafeteria is." Niall smiled and started towards the cafeteria when Bombay stopped him, "We're not eating in there, we are eating in my office." Bombay smiled again and walked on.
Ethel was shocked at how different Mr. Bombay was around these guys. He was usually always strict, no smile, harsh tone, and stay-out-of-my-office sort of man. Now he invited a boy band into his office to eat.
Bombay took a left down a small hall that had several doors on each side. "These are the offices of all the board members."
"Which is yours?" Harry asked him.
"That one." Bombay said proudly as he pointed to the two glass doors at the end of the hall. The office was decorated in gold, black and white. "Please take a seat."
Harry walked over to a seat picked it up acting as if he was going to walk away with it. He looked around to see if anyone saw him, but Ethel was the only one who saw and laughed at him. He was obviously trying to making a joke out of Bombay saying "take a seat."
Harry smiled, glad someone thought he was funny.
"I hope you all like chicken and salad? It's all we have down here." Bombay said.
"Yes, sounds good!" Niall smiled and took a seat while the rest of the boys smiled and sat down.
The food was brought out and Ethel was asked to help serve the drinks.
"Thank you Ethel." Liam smiled at her.
"Your welcome." Ethel smiled back. The rest of the guys must have picked up that Ethel liked Liam's politeness and chimed in with their own thank you's.
Ethel sat down with a salad and poured ranch on top.
"Only salad?" Niall asked concerned she wouldn't eat enough.
"I'm not a big fan of chicken." Ethel smiled and took a bite of her salad.
"If your sure." Niall shrugged and bit into his chicken.
"Now, we need to discuss what kind of danger you are in and why." Bombay resumed his business like attitude. He became serious and Ethel saw some of the guys shift in their seats. She usually had an idea what the danger was and why certain people were in it, but this time she really had no clue. She understand people have threatened to assassinate celebrities, but isn't that why they had bodyguards and security?
"Ethel have you told them anything?" Bombay asked.
"Only that the RSO is after them." Ethel said.
"Well the reason they are after you is because they think you can give them something." Bombay started.
"What do they want from us?" Harry asked.
"Money. Lots of it." Bombay said.
"But why us?" Louis chimed in.
"They don't want the money you've made from your fame. They want gold and lots of it." Bombay answered him.
"What makes them think we have lots of gold?" Niall asked.
Bombay sighed and looked to each of their faces, "This will undoubtedly going to be a shock to you.  I don't expect you to believe me right away. I will try to break this down as much as I can. The RSO are after all of you, but only for one of you."
The the band had expressions of confusion. "Which of us do they want?" Louis asked.
"That's the thing, they don't know." When the guys stayed silent waiting for Bombay he continued, "One of you was born of a special family and your parents asked us to keep you safe because they knew you would be in danger. So we paired you with another family. We decided to find other boys around your age to confuse the RSO so they wouldn't know who to look for. The RSO was also looking for boys around your age that had the necessary qualities and blood. We found out the four boys they were scoping out and we made a plan. We told each of your parents to give you the idea to apply for Xfactor that way we could get you together some how. You see, one of the necessary qualities was a good voice. That way we could keep all four of you safe. We made a band. And the more famous you got, people would go to more lengths to protect you. And the RSO wouldn't be able to hurt you without there being a witness."
The band was quiet for a minute then Liam spoke up, "what was special about the family and the son? And... Who is the son?" Liam asked with hesitation.
Bombay looked to Ethel's dad who was standing by the doors and he nodded. Bombay nodded back, "The family was royal and the son is of their royal blood. Therefore, the son is the prince of The United Kingdom by blood. As for who the son is, we've decided to wait because as for now, it's safer if you yourselves don't know."
Ethel felt her heart split, she was broken for this band. One of them belonged to a family they didn't even know and was a prince, but they didn't know who.
Nialls chicken fell out of his mouth and he decided not to pick it back up.
"You were saying four, what about Zayn?" Louis fixed his hair with sadness in his eyes.
"Sadly, he was an RSO spy that sneaked his way into the band. We thought Simon had done that to throw the RSO off, but really the RSO did it to throw us off. We didn't figure out he was a spy until early this year. He hid it very well. The only connection he had with them was through mail.
"How did you find out?" Harry's voice choked obviously trying not to cry.
"He told us. He said he would leave and couldn't stand being around you guys when he knew his job would end up hurting one of you. He had grown close and decided to to detach himself from you so he wouldn't put you in more danger." Bombay said with a sympathetic voice.
"Did he ever figure out which one of us was the prince?" Niall asked leaning forward.
"Yes, but he promised he wouldn't tell a soul." Bombay told him.
"And you trusted him?" Ethel asked surprised Bombay had trusted an RSO agent. Everyone looked at her as if they had forgotten her existence. She hadn't spoken for a while.
"No of course not. We have spies all over him." Bombay said. When there was only silence as a response he showed all of them to their rooms. Ethel's room ended up being closest to Louis' so before Ethel entered her room she stopped Louis.
"How are you?" She asked carefully.
"Fine I guess. Just shocked. I mean we've been lied to our whole life's. You can understand why we're skeptical right?" Louis asked her with worry.
"Of course." Ethel smiled and nodded. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight Ethel, and thank you." Louis entered his room and Ethel stood in silence thinking.
