Ezekiel's POV:
"I heard from Alexa that you got into a fight with a transfer student", Mom asks as she sat down in the chair opposite from me.
"She started it, mom", I said while busy answering my schoolwork piled up in front of me.
"But that doesn't mean that you should chock her up out of nowhere, Ezekiel", She said as her voice suddenly gets deeper as I look at her.
"Then try to keep up a relax and calm facade after hearing someone almost let out that godforsaken codename of ours that we tried to forget", I said while looking at her eye to eye as she let out a deep sigh.
"I'll investigate the girl in question and try to make up a deal with her and her family or even threaten them to shut their mouth about it", she said as I let out a sigh as I went back to my homework.
"I told Alexa and Michael to run a background check about that girl, just to make sure that she's not someone connected to that founder", I said without batting an eye to my mom who went up off her chair as I heard footsteps walking towards me.
"Let me handle it, my star... I'll make sure that they won't do anything about that confidential information about you and your siblings", she said as she hugs me tight while caressing my hair as I hold her arm.
"I just don't want anything to happen to them, even to the ones who are at Mrs. Lawrence's side. Anything about us will be used to point fingers at us as if we did something wrong when we're trying to have a normal and peaceful life", I explained as I tighten my grip on my mom's arm as she kissed my head.
"I know, son... I know...", she said leaning her head over mine as she kiss my head again.
"My lady Estelle, we have a guest waiting in the drawing room. It's about what happened at school that they wanted to discuss, my lady", Mr. Larson said while bowing his head at us with one hand resting on his chest.
"I want to go with you, mom", I said as she nods at me as I turn my gaze to the head butler. "Mr. Larson, please call Alexa and Michael for me. Tell them to go to the drawing room with the information that I asked them to get", I said as the head butler bows his head again as we walks out of the library and head down to the drawing room.
As we walks the down hallway to the drawing room, I saw Sherlly with the younger kids peeking at the drawing room as they shift their gazes at me and mom.
"Sherlly, take the kids with you while we will settle this discussion", Mom said as Sherlly nods her head with a concerned look on her face, I just smiled at her before they walk away. "I'm sorry if we made we all wait for us." Mom said as we enter the room, those people looks at us with discontent on their faces.
"We came here for what your son did to our beautiful daughter at school", a fat lady said as she hugs her daughter like its someone as innocent as she thought of.
"I got the initial idea why your family came here to our manor. Please have a seat and let's discuss it like we're educated and civilized citizens", Mom said as we took our seat opposite to them as they sat down.
"Your son is a violent child who suddenly chocks someone without any reason", the fat lady said again while glaring at me as I yawns like I'm not interested in it which get her piss off.
"Honey, please calm down and let me handle it", an old man who looks like some respectable person who works at the government. "Let me introduce ourselves, Madam Harrison", he said as he nods his head before talking again. "I'm Detective Larry Johnson, I'm working at a detective firm that the government owns. And this is my wife and my daughter, Donna, and Cassandra."
"I'm Dr. Estelle Rae Harrison, the master of the House Harrison. And this is my son, Ezekiel Tristan Harrison", Mom said as I looks at the door as Alexa and Michael walks in.
"Sorry for our intrusion, mom", Alexa said as they bow their head slightly. Alexa hands me a tablet and I took it from her. "We got want you asked us to get for you, Ezekiel. I hope you that's enough for whatever you wanted to do with it", Alexa said as she drags Michael out of the room.
"Those two are my other children, Alexa Kellie and Michael Lux", Mom said as she suddenly gets serious while still having her usual facade when there was a guest. "Let's get on to the topic for the reason you all came here to our manor."
"As my wife said, we came here because your son chocks our daughter out of nowhere." Mr. Johnson said as he looks at me as if I'm someone who needs to be thought a lesson or two.
"Ezekiel... Tell me honestly why did you do that and for what reason that you did do such a thing", Mom said as if she didn't know anything but still asks me with curiosity in her voice.
"Yes, I did that because she said something that I don't want anyone to know", I said as I look at that stupid girl who suddenly jolts in surprise in her seat. "For some reason, she knew something about us that is confidential and strictly forbidden to know", I continue that made her father looks at her like he didn't know about it.
"Cassandra! What does he mean about it? Tell me what really happened, young lady?", he asks with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Oh! I'll fill you in about what really happened, Mr. Johnson. It seems like she snoops up something at your stuff and stumbles upon a file about our family, sir", I said as look at them before I shift my gaze to the tablet that I got from Alexa. "I hope that you all are ready for being taken to the military base to be questioned about how did you get that confidential information about us."
"W-what are you t-talking about, young man?", the old man stammered as he tried to keep his cool up.
"As my son said, it is military confidential information that your daughter got which made my son reacts violently", Mom said with a smile on her face that made the old man pale up.
"Seems like you got some kind of connection to the former old general Jeremy Clarkson, Mr. Johnson. So I'm not going to beat around the bush here now", I said as I sit up straight with a smile on my face that can make anyone shaken up. "Me and my siblings, as well as the other kids on the information that you got are under the strict supervision of the military force. And we're down to 5 months before we will be released from that supervision but still be working for the military force", I explained which made them surprised to hear about it which made me think of what to do with them. "So I'm hoping that you all will cooperate with the military once they figure out what to do with you and your family."
"Ezekiel... You're making it sound like we will do something sinister to them. Please watch your tone, child", Mom said as I laugh it off while waving my hand.
"Mom... You even making it sound like that will be the case, mom", I said as I breathe deeply before facing them again. "We don't want anything from you, to begin with, so relax a bit since you all really need that. All I wanted to say is, you better shut your mouth about it and don't even try to disturb our peaceful life. I went to hell just to make everything happen for me and the other children to have this life we suffered to have", I said as I got up from my seat as I walk toward the door. "Mom? Can you please debrief them about it? I'm tired while thinking of a way to fix this when I only got useless information about them. I'll be at the library if you will be looking for me."
"Please be sane, son... I don't want to see any of my children being held like prisoners just like 5 years ago", Mom said as I crook up a smile like I heard something funny again.
"Mom... That happened because I got into a fight with idiot Jack, which it got out of control that's why we got held up like some prisoners before being released after the investigation", I said as I wave my hand and went out of the drawing room as I walk down the hallway.
As I walk down the hallway, I stop mid-way as I took out my phone just to receive a message from the bank that I applied without my mom's knowledge with the help of uncle 2nd Lt. Harry Larson.
"Now, let's transfer money into this account. I'll ask Uncle to tell the bank not to tell anyone about this account, Mom really is scary at some point", I said while tapping over my phone just to transfer some of the money that I earned from the stock exchange when I felt someone approaching me from behind.
"Can we talk?"
I turn around to see the spoiled princess of a detective standing as I turn to look at her seriously. "What do you want from me? I don't do any pity little deals with anything to hold as collateral or gain anything from it", I said with a touch of annoyance in my voice.
"Please, I don't want my father to lose his job at the firm because of what I did. So I'm here offering you something in return for the favor that I will ask of you", she said while looking down like she doesn't want to have eye contact with me which annoys me for someone who wants to ask some favor at me.
"I don't make any deals with someone who can't make eye contact with me. You're wasting my time right now", I said as I turn my back to her as I took some steps away from her as I wait for her to muster up some courage to speak up.
"Fine! Just do me this favor and I'll do everything you ask me to do, anything you want me to do as I won't complain about any of it. Just don't let my father lose his job after the military investigation of my family", she said as I look at her over my shoulders as she looks back at me while her face is all red in embarrassment.
"Anything that I want you to do eh?", I said while a smirk formed on my face with the thought of letting her do anything I told her to do.
"Yes, anything! E-even if it s-something inappropriate, I'll do it w-without any c-complaint", she said while stuttering between her words but still go me think of something exciting to do.
"Deal then... You have my words...", I said as I continue to walk down the hallway, I continue to do what I need to do over my phone.
'Things suddenly got exciting now that I have a new toy to play with...'
