Chapter 10 - Acquaintances?

What they did not expect was that at the door, stood a teenage boy with ruffled brown hair. "Ah. I got the wrong room. Sorry." He turned around to leave.

However, the leader grabbed him by the shoulder. 'Sorry boy, you can't just walk into a top secret meeting and leave can you? I should do a bit of questioning just in case.'

"Answer a few questions boy and we'll let you go."

The boy, annoyed at the fact he was looked down upon, grudgingly said, "Sure sure."

"So are you a member of ANGEL?" The leader gave a look at the boy that said 'If you say no, you are dead.'

"Yes, how did you think I got inside the building!"

"What room were you trying to find?"

"Someone told me to find them in this building and hand in these and I'll get rewards." The boy took out something from his coat pocket and dangled it to show everyone in the room.

"ID cards and blood samples? Those aren't easy to get boy."

The boy rubbed his nose. "Hehe I know I know I'm very skilled."

"Hey Aaron! Isn't that your ID card with blood sample right there!!?" A woman pointed at one set of ID cards and blood samples.

The old man named Aaron came forward to examine. The leader also took a closer look.

"Aaron! How could you be so careless!" the leader scolded.

"Oh would I still get my reward if it's someone from our organisation?"

"We still haven't finished questioning yet boy." Aaron answered roughly, still in a bad mood wondering how a kid could end up stealing from him.

"Yes but we will continue another day. Before I forget to ask, what's your name boy?"

"Lucas, sir. Lucas Phillips." The boy prepared to leave.

"OH! YOU'RE THE MYSTERIOUS SON OF EMMA PHILLIPS!" Aaron suddenly exclaimed. Lucas turned around once more.

'He must be part of the higher class society. Only people from the party knew about my existence. Knowing mother,she would have definitely contained the news well.'

"You know me?" Lucas stopped and thought for a bit. He tried to recall all the profiles of influential people his mother made him look at.

"Ah I see, you are THE Aaron Phillips, housekeeper of the renowned Phillips family, called brother by my mother and her best friend." Lucas smirked. "Didn't expect to see you here. Much less steal your stuff."

The leader stopped Aaron before he could do anything to the boy. "Alright that's it for today, everyone's dismissed except for you," he looked at Aaron and said. "Remember to keep your mouth shut boy."

"Yes sir! Later!" He waved goodbye to everyone in the room before skipping out. "Remember my reward next week!" Lucas shouted as he left.

"That cocky brat," Aaron mumbled.

"Follow me Aaron," the leader commanded.
