Please Don't Leave Me Behind Again (Completed)

Chapter Twenty-Three

So this chapter has answers (at least one or two) and because of that I couldn't hold onto it anymore or I'll keep messing with it and I'm happy with how it is now. Enjoy! As always, let me know what you think, I love hearing your thoughts and comments. And tada! My first A Report.

**| ~A~ Report|**

Mr. Blackbourne and Sean were already waiting in Victor's conference room. Victor was in the corner, eyes focused on his screen, lips curled in a frown as he tried to put together the information he had found. None of it looked good. At all.

He was worried they may have came across a very dangerous situation.

Mr. Blackbourne recognized the look on Victor's face. His teammate was worried over what he discovered. If Mr. Blackbourne didn't understand the importance of patience, he would have went over there and demanded to know what was found. He looked over at his best friend and cocked an eyebrow.

Sean glanced over at Victor and then back at Mr. Blackbourne.

"Let's hope we aren't getting ourselves into a conspiracy. Unless I get apple pie out of the deal," he said with a grin.

"I don't think apple pie will be enough of an encouragement from how Victor is looking," Mr. Blackbourne said and glanced back over at Victor. Victor's lips moved as his fingers flew across the keyboard.

The door opened and Kota came through with Gabe and Nathan following behind.

"The party is here," Gabe sang out as he flopped down on one of the chairs. One leg went over the arm of the chair and the other used the floor to spin himself from side to side.

Nathan snorted, settling down next to Kota who was staring at Victor with a frown. Everyone was quickly realizing that the meeting tonight was not going to be a typical one.

The room filled with light chatter as everyone talked to each other.

A young maid came in with a cart full of breakfast. She placed it all at the end of the conference table, giving Victor glances. When he looked up and smiled at her as a thanks, she blushed and asked if he needed anything else. He shook his head and went back to his computer, leaning over to say something to Kota who frowned.

"Do you think this Volto fucker is after Trouble or her family?" Gabe asked no one in particular.

"It's hard to say," Kota said, thinking about Sang. He loved how her eyes lit up with excitement when they went to the mall or how she got a mischievous gleam when she was planning some way to cheat while they swam. He didn't even think she noticed how competitive she got during games. She was slow to open up, to let them know what was going on with her, but he had confidence that she would tell them soon. She was warming up to them just as quickly as they were warming up to her.

Sean smiled at the look on Kota's face. The kid was gone already when it came to Pookie. Sean looked over at the rest of the boys and knew they were right behind Kota. All Sang had to do was flash her pretty greens and everyone wanted to please her. Sean was interested when he first saw her in the hospital and he got her to blush. He was a goner the moment she giggled soon afterwards. Sang didn't know it yet, but she was going to be the future Mrs. Green.

Sean's smile grew wider, turning goofy. They were lucky she wasn't the type to know the kind of power she had over men. She was too innocent, painfully innocent, when it came to the male species.

The door opened with a grumbling North, followed by Luke who had a shit-eating grin. Everyone knew Luke pulled another prank on North, though it wasn't a bad one if all he was doing was grumbling. Silas trailed behind them. He has been uncharacteristically quiet for the last few days. He was already a quiet person but even more so now, only saying the bare minimum. He got worse after he learned about Volto attacking Sang.
