Chapter 3 - 3. Costume and consequences

❃.✮:▹ ◃:✮.❃ 

 

A man with broad shoulders and tall built like 6 '2. As his stylish was grooming him and setting his pompadour hairstyle and his stylist said" all done sir. "And he gave some pleasantries to the stylist. His secretary came as announced.. *Everything is ready sir and all the orphanage chairman with the kids have come to the Hall room.* He stood up from his seat as his black tuxedo came to view. Looking good looking as ever with his intimidating eyes and sharp jawline. His secretary was a man of few words and whenever he speaks it's related to works or emergence cases. That's the reason Sage liked his secretary and kept him. But Sage also know that this fox is nothing like that. 

Sage : Everything is secured and good right? Felton? 

Felton: Yes, sir I've checked and arranged guards for every gate.. Security room is on full alert also. 

Sage humped as he was viewing the garden of his mansion. Which was decorated in gold. A golden Chandler was hanging from the top as if it was hanging in the air. Golden sparkling ribbon connected from the Chandler. The garden was covered in golden dust. Even the tree had golden ribbons and light. It was a beautiful view. A whole buffet was on display. Where children can get whatever they want. Truly a dreamy night. But the night is long. Who knows what might happen when some interesting beings will be here. Sage smirks as he was anticipating some unique presence. And Felton shivered from that smirk. 

The golden garden decoration was just a cover. The real party will be in the basement .

 Felton has been serving sage from a young age . He is serving his master since he was 12.And the first impression is something Felton don't want to reminiscing about.The horror that little young master gave him still a traumatic experience for him. But still he is loyal for this brown family and will always be. Felton is Sage's personal assistant,bodyguard,driver,and hitman.

 

Felton: Would you like to enter the hall now,sir?

Sage : What do you think, fox?Should I enter now ?

Felton: I don't know sir. He said as he gulped his saliva ….shit why did I ask that mentally ill person that question . I should've just kept quiet.

 As sage came closer to felton and arched his back to his eye level and said …IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEN KEEP QUIET!!!! And threw the base that was minding its own business on feltons head. His head started bleeding but he didn't move from his place.

Sage: Ho!.....Fox, why do you test my nerve on time like this? Now look at you bleeding all over the carpet and ruining it. You should clear it up.Hurry,we don't wanna look this messy in front of outsiders,do we? 

he said in a low growling voice. And went to see the view in the garden again. Who knows what is wrong with him again. Who ruined his mood or did it brighten up? 

Sage: You better do it fast. Understood,Fox?

Felton: Yes Sir!

He left the room. And some maid came in to clean up the mess just in time. And the place was new as before, like nothing happened just now,and the maid left quietly after the cleaning as a ghost just came and left.Situation like this is common in the mansion.and felton is just too used to it that he prepare for this type of circumstances before his meetup with Sage.

I told you to carry first aid with you,why do you even bother with sage to begin with. You know you will get hurt whenever you meet with him.Nobody can deal with that jerk. Said the infirmary doctor as he is dressing the wound.Thank god it was not that deep. Or how he can perform today's duty? Sage will literally kill him. 

Felton: Hah! You say this but when he enters his chaos phase where are you guys?.... 

Doctor: Well, We are not strong like you… you are trained to serve him, not us. 

Felton: Yes.. And that's why I was there when nobody dared to go inside that room. 

Doctor: Fine fine fine… . Mr. Macho man… here we go done with your dressing thank god it was small cut this time or you would have had a hard time today. 

Felton: He just didn't hit it hard. If he wanted I would've died then. 

Doctor was just speechless. And shakes his head. Like there's nothing to do with these two crack heads. Felton got up from the bed and ran straight for the Hall. After all the Hall duty was his. 

While he was passing through the crowd to go to the Hall… he saw Sage was admiring the view from the window. And was smiling like a maniac or could it be a child who just got a new toy. Felton followed the gaze of his master and it landed on a group of man's or no group of boys… young boys… is this bit*h pedophile? 

No no no no… I shouldn't think like that. No matter how worse he is, pedophiles are a bit too much. But still just in case he kept his eyes on the young group of boys… specifically the pale brown hair one.

 ❃.✮:▹ ◃:✮.❃ 

A group of young men .Yes that's what we are looking for .The ever so dashing look that we wanted because of juli we almost could not get the fit but thank god. To know the reason we have to go a little bit back on time.

(6 hours ago)

When we finally got the invitations from the Phantom. We got breath in our lungs finally. I actually thought we lost the invitations. But at least the trip was on the way. But anyway it all got worked. But we have to get ready for the party and it's not just any party, it's a party for the adults and we are not so adults. So what do we have to do? It's to look like a proper adult. Well there will be a lot of kids but we are not kids. And Juli got this amazing idea. 

Juli : Let's go do some shopping!! 

Ray : What?! Why?! Why do we need to shop? 

Juli: Oh. Come on. You talk like an ancient fossil. We are going to a party.. I know it's not to enjoy but for a mission but come on you only live once!! 

Sam: Finally I can agree with you Juli. 

Juli : See!! Even that Sam is agreeing with me. Who is world's apart from me… . 

Jake while hovering over Jean and twisting his neck said… let's gooo thennn what's stopping usss?! 

Juli : Ray? 

Jake: Do we give a fuck about that? 

Sam : Oh.. Do we? 

Jean : No we don't. 

Ray : Fine go. I'm not going. 

The four of them exchanged a look and that all it took them to understand. When Ray falls asleep in the afternoon for a nap. They kidnapped him. Ray is a heavy sleeper when he sleeps he doesn't wake up easily. So when he opened his eyes from the nap. He was shocked to see he was in the mall. What the actual fu*kkkk.

Juli : Hey… Are you sure we should leave him on the 1st floor? 

Sam: Come on. It was your idea to kidnap him anyway. 

Juli: Yeah it was my idea to kidnap him but to not leave him in the mall alone… Without his cell phone or wallet. And where is his wallet? 

Jake : Oh you mean… this Hermes wallet? 

Jean : Oh damn. He is fu*ked up now. 

Juli : .. Oh man I'm dead when he finds me. 

Hahahaha. Juli just rolled his eyes. And just then they saw a shop named Genz… . 

Juli: ohhhh is it for us guys? 

Jake : It's calling for us. 

Sam just dragged them into the store. 

Jean was just going along with them. But 

Jean : Wait a damn minute. Why are we getting casual clothes when we are supposed to get formal clothes? 

Sam: Ah yeah… I forgot. 

Juli: .. Come on man… . We can thrift it. 

Jake: Thrift in a formal party? 

Jean : I don't think so it's a good idea. 

Juli : Trust me. 

We don't. And they started to leave the store. When they almost got out… A shadow came from behind… . Oh shit. 

Juli : Rayyyy… 

Jean : We almost forgot about him. Shit. 

Jake while setting his arm around Ray's neck said… oh come on man it was just childish prank don't mind it. .. Haha… 

Ray: Childish prank? .. Without a phone or wallet ? 

Sam: I told them to not do it… but they still did it. 

Ray: Oh really? 

Traitor!! And Ray ran after Sam as he was running around the mall as if a bear was chasing after him. Well Ray is not less than a bear. Anyway we should save Sam. And we all ran after them as I crashed into something. Wait… . Is it a wall? No no … it's a man… what the hell… how tall is he?!

He caught me in his arms. He was tall!... like fu*king tall. Like a policeman. Or is he a policeman? Yes I'm right. He is… a batch, or should I say logo, on his overcoat. Wavy black hair slicked back. Damn… handsome officer. As our eyes locked, refusing to look away, a hand came from behind and twisted us apart like a fu*king Oreo.

 What the hell, man? What's your problem? 

It was none other than, of course, my friend Jake. While Sam, Ray and Juli were running wild in the mall and causing havoc. Jake was right behind me, glaring at that man while looking back at me, asking if I was okay. Like man, I'm not some fragile doll that will break from a single crash. Or would I, if it's a man like him? Yes I guess. 

That man said… . Sorry I was not looking and crashed into you… you okay, kid? 

Kid? What? Seriously? I mean yeah, I'm a kid but what hell? It's pissing me off for a reason. 

I'm not a kid. 

Oh, you're not? Are you a spy then? In daffodils? 

I was confused, then I saw my uniform.Oh shit, yeah… like when I'm supposed to meet a hottie I'm wearing this uniform? Yeah! Nothing could be more heartwarming than this. 

"No, you're right. Yeah, I'm a kid." I nodded as I acknowledged myself.

 Ahhhh, what am I doing?! 

 Jake was thunderstruck, like, what the hell are you doing?

 Yeah, man, I'm asking myself the same thing. 

The officer just laughed a bit and walked away. Well, what a fateful encounter. I hope we never meet again, or I can't handle this much embarrassment. 

When he left the place Jake gave me a confusing look. But when Ray , Sam and Juli got back he didn't ask me any questions. Well thank god. Well we got with Juli's idea anyway… We bought it. 

Jake wore a midnight blue two piece suit with a white shirt and no tie. And Ray wore a classic black tuxedo with black shirt and no tie. And Sam Wore black high neck T-shirt with a brown jacket and trousers since he has some inside work he has to do in the mansion. And Juli with his red wine tailcoat looking like a vampire I must say. And me… with my charcoal suit with an open collar white shirt worn over the lapels.

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER SLAY!!

(Back to the party)

Well, rich people are on a different level,Really! Said juli who is fu*king rich himself . Like really why is everyone so shocked as they are any different than the BETA heir. Like seriously their family received invitations from the BETA but only the present heir and their significant others can attend and that would be their fathers and mothers.Damn, so many rules just to attend a birthday party of an old man.

Well as i was thinking the absolutely not-so-related topic of our not-so-emergency mission …..We entered the garden THE GOLDEN GARDEN from far you will think it was decorated with gold, thank god it was not gold or it would've been a OCEAN 5 mission haha just kidding. Anyway, That big chandelier hanging from the top is giving me anxiety as if it will fall on me.

Sam: I should head inside the mansion.You guys carry on. He whispered.

Jake: I'll go to the hall.

Juli and Ray just went together to keep an eye on Sage. Well everyone went to their position. I stayed in the garden looking around how that not-so-sage deceiving these children and those innocent orphanage caretakers . Kids are enjoying the buffet and running around like it's their playground . What pure scenery ..hah! Who knows what's going to happen in the underground basement . Just as i was thinking i AGAIN bumped into someone this time I swear it's not my fault this wall like man just crashed into me. NOW wait a damn minute, again like mall was not enough, i had to bump into him again.

So this time it's not my fault.

This tall officer just stared at me. Like what, never seen a young man before? After a few moments he let go of my wrist that he grabbed while bumping into me. 

"No, my apologies, it's my fault now. Kid."

And he smirked, and I swear it was a damn challenge!

What, having fun teasing a kid ?

When did I teased you? Kid

Stop calling me a kid .

I should call a kid A KID ,right?

Jean. Jean Arison, my name is called that.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why did I introduce myself? as if I was desperate for him to call my name.…ahhhhh what's wrong with me ?!

Jean hmmm ,ok. Kid. 

Again with this kid!!

Don't you know it's a common courtesy,if one introduces himself you gotta introduce yourself too.

Ah, So you want to know my name ..I see …You could've just asked, you know.

This damn sly fox! He is really getting on my nerves.

Fine.you don't have to say. Have a good evening, sir.

As I was walking away he grabbed my arms and pulled me closer to his chest.Like wait a damn moment.WITH!

Rai. Detective Rai. He arched his back to not meet my eyes but to whisper in my ears. In a low voice that could not be heard in this noisy place. His voice was gentle as if it was patting my ears. I should just thank God that nobody paid any attention here as we are outside of the main hall room in a corner . Damn this guy could be a pedophile but something about him is just too good.

We are just 0.001 cm away from each other. Yeah, like really there is no room for air between us. What is this guy thinking pulling a youngster into his arms and in this open field.

Don't you think we are a bit too close?

Are we ?

As an officer if you don't want to end up in the same position as you see your criminals are in,unhand me right now. I said with a light growl.

Ohho, 

And he started to back away while putting both arms in the air like he was surrendering to me. Cocky guy.

And I ran away like a prey that escaped its hunter. And the hunter is waiting for it again because he knows he got it tempt. As if it will happen . We barely even know each other but this feeling i don't know what it is.

While I ran away from him I tried to call everyone but none of them picked it up and at last thank god he picked it up…..Where are you ? any news ? Sam huffed like he also got away from a hunter just like me ….no no no …how can it be? Not everyone here is crazy , right ?

Sam: We should get out! Right now!

Jean : Why? What happened ?

Sam: He knows ! We got caught !

Jean: Who knows ? What are you talking about? 

Sam: Sage!! Godammit ! I'm passing through the corridor right now and call everyone we are leaving or we are finished .

Jean: But they are not picking up.

Sam: Shit ... .did they get caught? Ohmy 

Jean: I'll go to the mansion .

Sam: No, you go to the main hall ... .Sage just left to enter the hall. Keep an eye on him. I'll go to the mansion.

Jean: Be careful .

F*CK!! If any of them got hurt I can't forgive myself .

 I entered the main hall. There was another grandies chandelier hanging from the top of the hall. After you notice the chandelier your eyes will go to the two grand big stairs from two sides starting and finishing on the first floor of the hall. Truly grand.There he was on the center of these two stairs giving a speech like president. The hair that was set with gel became undone.But still looking good he didn't become popular just because he was the heir to a generational tycoon but also for his looks …..macho looks that both man and womans throw at him just to have a private chat. Both men and womens eyeing him as a delighted dish from a 5 star restaurant. And as he was starting his speech he said.

Sage: Thank you all for being here tonight. 

He said that line while looking into my eyes with a mischievous smile that people have seen on the TV many times but that smile it was different and i just know it and …no i'm not mistaken he said it while locking his eyes with mine and i just know from that single look that.

SHIT WAS ABOUT TO GO DOWN!!
