"What-what are you guys doing here?" Zero finally managed to say.
Edward grinned widely and turned to the others, "We actually made Zero stammer. I feel so accomplished!"
"Zero, these are?" Latifah asked.
"Zero's blood brothers," came a very familiar voice from behind them.
Zero turned abruptly, standing straight and Latifah was surprised. She turned as well, to see a very handsome young man in a suit standing there. She could tell immediately that this was not an ordinary person.
"Sir!" Zero exclaimed.
"You didn't really think you'd be able to leave without them, did you?" Kyle asked, raising an eyebrow.
He turned towards Latifah and did a slight bow, saying, "Your Majesty. I am Kyle Smith, sort-of boss for Zero."
"You are-" Zero began and Kyle put up his hand.
"Sssh," Kyle said, putting up his forefinger and shaking it left and right.
Zero immediately shut up.
Latifah was shocked, to say the least.
