Chapter 30:

'Alright everyone!' The twins announce when they get back to the musers department. They watch as they all sit down on the infamous sofa as they listen up.
'We are going to let you guys do anything your heart desires around the hotel'

Jacob fists bumps the air. 'YES!'

'Woohoo!' The others cheer excited. They've never been around before as they've been stuck to a timetable all day.

Vinz eyes them all. 'One condition though. Explore the hotel, but please don't get in a mess with the fans! In fact, don't be near them at all.'

'Why?' Annie asks looking up.

'There's a time and date you will do that exactly. But now nots the time.'

Annie shakes her head in approval. They all seem so excited for some reason.

'Meet us back here by 4.30 ok? You have an hour.' Zack includes.

And with that, they race off, down a corridor and in to their adventure.
----

They meet old Francisco is his mini secret room. It took a while as the twins where getting lost. It was such a big hotel, with so many twists and turns. The truth was, their generation of family were the owners of the whole thing so Vinz and Zack we're basically raised here. Until things took a twist, and they were shipped to Germany.

'So, tonight.' Francis greets them as they enter, spinning around in the chair like a classy 'oh hi' way.

'I think there will be an introduction, then the battle will start- 3s Vs 1s! What do you think?!' He claps his hands together looking at them up and down waiting for an answer.

Zack steps forward. 'No, a small introduction was was we planned Francis. Then they'd all make their musical.ly's at the same time, standing side by side.'

'We'll raffle the song list and remixes musically have altogether and that chooses the music for the night.' Vinz steps up too.

'Then.' Zack adds in. 'They have only 5 minutes to make a video before its casts out to the world.'

'And the voting starts after the show, where YOU Francisco, Do all that Stuff and keep it private until January 3rd!'

Their companion looks surprised, mouth open, when they finished their suggestions. He puts his hand up.

'Nicely organized boys. My approach though, was... Slightly different..'

'How different?!' Zack suddenly scowls, and walks furiously over to the man in the chair.

Francis just laughs lightly, avoiding eye contact. He was definitely up to no good. Whatever he had in mind, always succeeded no matter what. The twins look at each other nervously. That's what they hated about him, they moved on from him and his strange behavior when they were 14. They scouted the town of Munich to find the perfect crew, and they did. When Francis found out though, they took the squad to his own advantage. There, the Svetlanians and Hack.ly was born.

'Well VZ, let's just say those children, there all got something to hide.' He said in a very small voice.

When Vinz frowned confused, he goes on:

'Like Annie, for example.' He continues, waving his arm to a screen showing all the kids walking down a hallway, talking and having fun.

'She's not meant to be here.'

'I don't understand!' Zack complains, rolling his eyes.

'Zack, her father used to work for me in America. Ever since we've gotten a bad vibe, he stayed out of contact from us, feared us even. When he finds out who we are, they'll leave immediately.
That's why the Svetlanians spent the week in California remember?'

'With Group B? The competition between The Svetlanians and Shires? The other team Loren was supporting lost against us.' Zack asks.

'Yes Zack. That was just a set up to what we need now.'

Vinz backs away, his eye on the tv screen behind Francis. The musers enter the elevator, oblivious to what's going to happen.

'There will be a time of breakdown, and you all must be ready for it.' Francis finished, having Zack Back away too.

'Nothing is going to happen! Come on Vinz, let's go.' He shoved his brother to the door only to Have Francisco call out.

'Aren't you going to help your friends? They don't know how the machine works.' He points to the screen, as the musers step inside and the door closes.
It was still on Safety mode.

With one nasty look to their boss, Zack runs off to the elevator, Vinz following behind him.

Am I the only one who thinks the name 'Francisco Selman' sounds pretty badass? I thought about it when I wrote the 'YOU Francisco.' Part and thought it'd be cool.

2nd reason is cause Mario Selman just hit 900K today on IG🎉
Love you bro, if you ever read this lol.

I'm sprouting an idea of Mario being connected family wise, but I kinda have a lot of characters already so that would be frustrating to write.
But hey- you can never have enough characters... Right?
