10. Rock, Paper, Scissors

Author's POV:

(A week ago...)

Kence barged in Klement's office.

"Hey Klen what is going on! Why do I have to take Vin to the college?"

"Because he's your brother?" Klem said while typing something on his laptop screen.

"He's your brother too.."

"Yeah but I'm busy. I have an important meeting in the morning."

"Your meeting is at ten! You can easily take him."

"Wait! how do you know that? Only Dad and his secretary knows about this secret meeting.." Klem narrowed his eyes at his extremely nosy brother.

"Jawn too." Ken added.

"?"

"Jawn also know about your secret meeting.. but that's not the point here."

"You are taking Vin and that's final." Klem sits back.

"Say's who?"

"Me." Klem half smiled arrogantly.

"Whatever I am not taking HIM."

"Dad also wants that too." Klem added.

"Don't try to fool me. Dad only wanted Vin to go with his 'brother'. He didn't mention any name."

"Yeah and that lucky brother would be you...you have morning classes too.. so what's the problem."

"For the first time I don't want to be lucky... Anyways you're the Heir, take the responsibility and go lead our crazy brother." Ken said irritated.

"You are the younger one so you have to listen to me.."

"..." Kence stared.

"..." Klement stared back.

"Fine let's settle it like Adults." Ken smirked.

.

Both the brothers were sitting opposite sides of the table.

"ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!" They shouted together.

Klem - Rock

Ken - Paper

"Wait! how many rounds?" Ken asked after winning the first round.

"Three.... No Five."

"Oh Kay..." Ken's smiled widens.

"A real man always choose Rock!" Klem yelled excitedly.

Klem - Paper

Ken - Scissors

"..real man..." Ken said, mocking.

"Winning matter.. not the rules." Kpem replied.

Klem - Rock

Ken - scissors

Klem laughed after winning for the first time.

Klem - Paper

Ken - Rock

Klem grinned hard to have a tie with his little brother.

Final round~

"ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!!" Both yelled in unison.

"Wait!" Ken stopped his brother.

"?"

"Let's just send Vin with Jawn." Ken suggested thoughtfully.

"You wanted our brother to die on his first day of the college?"

"Don't be so dramatic. Jawn and Vin gets along quite well."

"I don't think. In a friction of moment they can turn into swear enemies."

"Any other option?" Ken tilted his head.

"What about Jane? I heard she had a test tomorrow.." Klem suggested.

"Not a good option.. Vin can easily manipulate her. And we don't want her to miss her important test."

"..."

"Let him go with his bodyguards... No need to tell Dad." Ken said finally giving up.

"I don't think that's a good idea..."

"Then give me better one!" Ken challenged.

"I just think of something..." Klem furrowed his brows.

"Is that a good idea?"

"Nope ... a stupidly crazy idea." Klem tried to smile awkwardly.

.

.

"Don't you think your 'stupidly crazy idea' is way too stupid and crazy?" Ken said while guarding the door.

"Shhhh just look outside." Klem whispered to his brother.

"I can't believe we are stealing from our own elder brother." Ken rolled his eyes.

"Shut up.... Ahaa found it." Klem grinned while holding up an old picture.

"You're going to lure a beast using this..!?" Ken gave The look to his brother.

"Kark would do anything to get this." Klem's eyes were shining bright.

They both left Kevin Hart's room quietly.

Ring ring~~

"What do you want?" Karl asked.

"Ummm I want YOU to take Vin to college."

Line disconnected~~

They both look at each other, stupefied.

Ring ring~~~

"Before you hang up... Just listen.. let's have a deal." Before Karl could hang up again, Klem quickly said.

"Do you really have to video call me! Anyways you have thirty seconds.. cause I'm busy." Karl said while leaning against his car.

"Doing what!? Buying jerk chicken or spicy curry?" Ken taunted.

"How did you... Did you put a tracker, or you make someone follow me?" Karl looked around in anger.

"Don't flatter yourself cousin. I just saw the reflection of the restaurant's name on your car." Ken smirked.

Klem leaned forward to take a look closely.

"How can you tell that that's a restaurant name? Do you have a vision of an eagle or what..!" Klem tilted his head still looking at the screen.

"You're buying the spicy food for Pier, right?"

"No it's for me.." Karl made a face.

"You don't have to lie dear cousin. I know you can't eat spicy food. Plus that's the favorite restaurant of our guards tok." Ken said folding his arm over his chest.

"You knew the favorite restaurant of our GUARDS! how? Why?" Klem raised an eyebrow at his brother.

".. I might have.. followed them.." Ken shrugged.

Both Karl and Klem just looked at him.

"You followed guards?" Karl sounds both surprised and interested.

"Yeah. Don't you guys ever wanted to know where your personal guards go after their shifts ends?"

"NO!!!" Klem and Karl said at the same time.

"Well I was curious and wanted to know so I just followed. Don't you think it's weird when bunch of your guards go to the same place at the same time together? I mean they might have been planning something or doing something behind our back, who knows." Ken muttered casually.

"So you found something?" Karl raised an brow.

"Yeah that the guards don't really like our nutrition-filled healthy food. And the food of that restaurant was cheap but tasty." Ken rolled his eyes.

"That's what Pier told me once." Karl mumbled.

"Oh yeah I saw Pier going with Vin's personal bodyguards there many times."

"Really! I didn't know that.." Karl make a thoughtful face.

"Not only the Knight's guards but the Sinclair's guards are regular there too. Surprisingly they even sometimes sit and eat together. I think I have seen Pier and your personal bodyguard Novah together too." Ken was telling Karl.

"Well that explains your curiosity." Karl commented.

"Okay let's come back to the point. I have still some.. umm... work to do.." Klem was saying.

"For your morning meeting?" Katl asked casually.

"How do you..." Klem stopped and rubbed his face. Of course HE knew.

Ken try to hide his smile.

"So what's the deal?" Karl asked.

"You have to take Vin to college tomorrow morning."

"And why would I do that?"

"Because I have an.. ahem... important meeting." Klem cleared his throat.

"And I have classes... early." Ken blurted out.

Karl narrowed his eyes at both.

"...so where's the deal? what would I get for taking crazy cousin?"

"...this.." Klem showed him the picture.

"I have no idea why would you trade an ancient picture of some little girl to him.." Kim whispered to Klem.

"..is that... Pier??" Karl said while focusing on the screen.

Hearing this, Ken also looked at the photo again, this time with more interest, so that's why Klem stole it.

"That's right. You have to promise Vin's safety first and then.. this will be yours. Do we have a deal?" Klem grinned.

"Deal!" Karl smirked.

Call disconnected~~
