974 King Slayers
Still sitting at the coffee shop in Centerfield, listening to the peaceful Jazz music that played, both Austin and Kai were waiting for Gary to decide what to do. They watched carefully, noting every detail of his body language, ready for his response. A few times Gary looked like he was going to open his mouth and Austin twitched expecting a response but their was nothing. Then Gary finally decided to speak.
“I don’t think we should get involved,” Gary said.
“Yeah, that’s it!” Austin cheered, pumping his fist. “I’m ready to fight whenever you ask, going up against one of the kings. We did it before, and we can do it again. Then we can become the King slayers… wait, what did you say?” Austin asked, realizing the words that had come out of Gary’s mouth.
“Look, I’m not saying we won’t definitely help, and especially if Jayden asked me directly for help, I would jump in a heartbeat. But we have to analyze and get a bigger picture of the whole situation.”
“When I think about this more, I have to consider it from Jayden’s point of view. There has to be a reason why he didn’t ask anyone and is going at this alone.”
“Not just that, I can’t imagine how much he must have already gone through to reach the position he’s in. Everything he’s done has been through his own effort, and he’s had no help along the way.”
“Finally, he’s reached one of his targets, and they’re going to fight it out in the AFC. It doesn’t seem like it’s my place to join in, and if I were him, I wouldn’t want anyone else to either.”
After Gary had explained himself, the others realized they might have been the hot-headed ones in this situation, too keen to fight and solve things with their fists rather than waiting and seeing how the tide goes.
“You are a much more sensible leader than I thought. It’s no wonder the Howlers have been able to grow so quickly,” Kanu stated. “I can see you have a good heart, Gary, and I am glad you and your gang are currently one of the Kings.”
Kanu then stood up from his seat and placed a card on the table, shifting it carefully across until it was in the centre.
“This is my direct contact number. There may be a time when I need your help, if it comes to matters in your town or help with NIRV itself. I have your details from Elijah.”
“Of course, you don’t have to help, but you would be doing me a favor as I did you when you were in prison. It will be good to have someone like me on the inside of the White Rose,” Kanu said as he straightened his jacket, getting ready to leave.
Pulling out his phone, Gary decided it was best for him to tell Xin everything that he found out. She deserved to know more than him.
If she then wanted to help her brother out, he would do so, but try to explain and rationalize to her how he thinks Jayden would feel.
[There’s something I need to tell you, do you mind if we meet up?] Gary sent.
To his surprise, it wasn’t long until he got a text back, almost as if Xin was on her phone already.
[I already know you like me, you don’t need to pour your heart out again]
[And sure, that’s not a problem. Where do you want to meet? Also, I need to ask you something.]
[Can you do me a favor? Can you get me tickets to Jayden’s next fight? They’re sold out.]
