Secrets Hidden (Short Story) *Completed*

Hidden Secrets Ch. 10 Training pt. 2

Sophia's POV

A long car ride later, we ended up at a warehouse. Wasn't raggedy like most imaginable warehouses. It was black at the bottom and the top was green, it was appropriate because it was in the forest. Creeepppyyy I said to myself as we entered.

We went up stairs into a big business like room. And there were a LOT of people sitting around the large circular table.

"Everyone this is Sophia. John have there been any more spots of Red Mark very recently?" Keith swiftly asks.

A few people stare at me as John answers, "Red Mark has been quiet lately, too quiet if you've asked me."

"Boss, have any plans?" Ian asks my uncle.

"BOSS!?!?" There was an uproar from everyone.

They explained the story all over again, and people started relaxing from their tense positions and questions saying nobody has ever seen the boss.

"If my uncle says he's a boss of the Black Figures then just believe it, he has more insight about you all than I will ever. I know you didn't know who the heck you were taking orders from, but believe he's right here!" I groaned frustrated.

"Oooo feisty, can I call dibs?" A guy shouts from the table. Keith gives him a glare and mouths, 'wanna die?'

"Okay well that's settled, now we know Red Mark has most likely been keeping tabs on us, but has been quiet, if anything they're planing an attack on us, but why?" Violet speaks up.

"I don't know, we just have to prepare to take RM down," Keith sighs, "Oh and everyone we're training my sister on gun work, knife work, and hand to hand combat.  No holding back," Keith smirks at the end of his sentence. Oh no...

"I think Ian, Violet, and I should be the one to teach her if that's okay with you Keith, and you as well Boss Charles," Jesse recommends.

"I don't see a problem with it," Uncle Charles says.

"Neither do I," Keith agrees to Jesse's proposal.

"So Jesse on knife work, me on hand to hand combat, and Ian takes gun work?" Violet suggests.

"Yes, we start in the morning, I'll be there to supervise and do what I can. For now everyone go rest, but be alert," Keith says as he walks out of the room and Uncle following behind him.

This was it I was gonna be apart of The Black Figures!

Keith's POV

As I walked out of the room Uncle came tailing me.

"Yes?" I look at him as we enter one of my offices in the warehouse.

"I'm gonna retire after our fight with RM, I want you to take over and be the boss. Fight the bad guys, but try to make things right," Uncle C stands behind me and puts a hand on my back.

"B-be the boss? Not possible, I can only lead and take orders, I don't have eyes that can really tell the bad ones from the innocent," I say wearily to my uncle.

"You can be the boss, or I could give the position to Ian, after all, he's second in command. I don't want to do that though. Not only because your my nephew, but because I've seen you when you do your missions, you're very skillful, and the times I don't order TBF around, you usually do. And you have a great eye for spotting many threats, I need that type of person," Charles explains to me. "But if you don't want to take over, just let me know." He smiled up at me and walked out of my office.

This was a lot to take in, but I'll mess with taking over later. Now it's time to look at more video footage. I kept re-watching the night of Ella's kidnap. My screen dimly lighting up my face, each time I replayed it. Then I realize not only was she gassed, but there was a knife that went through the back of her neck. Her eyes were emotionless because she was killed.
