Trick

  Alexa was currently with Cole in the school where the family enrolled them. It was a private school and it was a school for the rich. They weren't rich, but Gray was and they are just adopted. Cole somehow had a lot of friends. And since their name wasn't known, they were just invisible. It's different from the usual environment but it was normal and better. 

"I heard that Victor wanted to adopt you," Cole said. "It would lift off some of Gray's responsibility." 

  They were just kids, yet they speak like adults. 

"Well, it's fine with me. It's fine with me without a parent but Victor was a great parent that I know." 

"My mom and dad are great as well," Cole said as he smiled. "I could get used to calling them that." 

"Because you are a good boy. You cared about Dione and Kaiden." 

"Dione is a beautiful Princess. I love her. She's my little sister." 

  Somehow, Alexa noticed a girl looking at them. When she turned her head, the girl turned back and left. 

"Is that~~zero zero one?" 

  Cole looked in the direction where she was looking. 

"Zero Zero one? What would she do in here?" Cole asked. "Maybe she just looked like a zero zero one." 

"Nope. She's her. Gray needs to know this." 

"Coco!" Dione shouted. They both looked at the waiting area where Dione was wearing a pink princess dress and a small headband that looked like a tiara. She dashed to him as he quickly ran to her since he knew that she would trip. He caught her fast just as he expected as baby Dione hugged him. 

"You look pretty." He said. 

"Your mom is busy so I am here to pick you guys," Connor said as he looked around waiting for others while he was carrying Quinn. "Where are others?" 

"Somehow, Jaime and Yves signed up for a sports club. I think they have a try-out this afternoon." Alexa said as she watched Dione run to her and hugged her. She patted her head. 

"We should watch them. Right, Kal?" 

  Kal who was standing beside Connor nodded his head. 

"We can watch them," Connor said. "Lead the way, Alexa." 

  Their bodyguards followed them as Alexa took Kal's hand so he wouldn't run off and get lost. Their bodyguards followed them. Jaime and Yves try out for the soccer team while Jade is waiting for them. She waved quickly from the bench as they strode in Jade's direction. 

"Where's Gray?" She asked Connor. 

"Oh, your father is currently out," Connor said as he sat down on the bench with the kids. Quinn insisted on sitting beside him so she could watch. 

"Balls," Kal said as he pointed to the soccer balls on the basket. 

"It's a soccer ball," Cole told him. 

"Tata~~we play~play. Balls?" Kal asked as he walked toward him and held his hand as he pointed the balls. 

"Sure thing. We can set up a soccer ground for you guys." 

  Two boys, Yves and Jaime, had to check on their phones on how to play soccer balls. Connor needs to see this and probably report to Violet about the strength of the boys even after the nanomites have been removed from their bodies. They watched the try-outs and somehow, he was fascinated. 

"Did they ever play soccer?" Connor turned to look at Jade who shook her head. 

"We aren't allowed to watch TV back in the facility. But ever since we enrolled here, those two had been watching soccer practices." 

"Oh, great." He bounced his head. "That's great." He mumbled. "Princess Quinn, do you want to play it as well?" 

"Kicky," Quinn said. 

  Jade pulled out her phone and filmed the boy's try-out. 

"Can I go down to take a good shot?" She asked. 

"Sure, go ahead," Connor said as he nodded to one guard who followed her down. She filmed the boys and since she was busy filming, Connor noticed a boy from afar staring at Jade. He poke Alexa to get her attention and pointed to the boy. "Who is that?" 

  Alexa gaped as she turned to Cole. 

"It's zero zero two!" She gasped and covered her mouth. 

"What?" He mumbled. 

"Those two were supposed to be in the facility. Did they let them out?" Cole asked. "They didn't want to go with us." 

  Connor's eyes darkened as he held Quinn close. 

"Keep an eye on Kal and Dione." He quickly pulled out his phone for backup. Those kids were dangerous. They had killed a lot of people through the order of that old man. This is not a coincidence. They are planning something. 

  Suddenly, the kid who was indicated as double zero two stepped forward which was yards away from Jade. He set the ball and stepped back and kicked the ball hard as it flew towards Jade, aiming at the head. She was unaware but before it even hit her, she caught it with one hand. Her reflexes and fast sense. She turned to the boy who kicked it. Then, the bodyguard quickly pulled Jade away as he eyed the boy who walked away casually. 

"That is something." He mumbled. 

"Kal, Quinn, and Dione shouldn't be here, Uncle," Cole said. 

"They, don't worry Pal. They are protected. Right, Quinn." 

  Quinn held her father's face. 

"Ice~~tea." She mumbled. "Kin-Kin, terssy." 

"You are thirsty?" he patted her head. "Hmm," 

"Kin-Kin want… Ice tea. Peasseyy, Papa." 

"We can get that," Connor said. He stood and went to the vending machine nearby. He pulled out a bill as he let Quinn press the buttons. She giggled as the drink fell. She gasped when Connor picked it up. 

"Ice tea…" She held the 500ml ice tea that was bigger than her hands. She needed to hold it with both hands as Kal picked up other bottles from the vending machine. Quinn looked so happy after getting her ice tea as she drank with both hands as few spills but Connor managed to help her up. 

  Somehow, the boys got in from the tryouts. They have to go home earlier than expected since he needs to discuss something with Violet and Harvey. When he arrived, he eyed Johanna and Gray who are currently chatting. He put Quinn down who quickly ran to her mother, climbed to her lap, and gave her face a lot of kisses. Johanna giggled and hugged Quinn as she also gave kisses to her baby. 

  He approached Gray and rubbed his back. Gray quickly stood and glared at him. 

"We need to talk now." He grabbed his arm and pulled him. As soon as Gray was walking beside him, Connor rubbed his other waist sensually which made the man push him. 

"What the hell?" 

"Stop flirting with my fiancee. Will you? Or else, I will let you feel how my lady is to me." 

"That's gross, bro." 

"First of all, we need to do something. Like, discuss your children." He said. 

  They went to Harvey's study room where he was currently checking the financial statement of the mansion. He added a few more for the kids. Since Victor is adopting Alexa, he needs to give them proper allowances and let them budget it for the whole month. While he was busy, Connor kept rubbing Gray like he was harassing him. 

"Stop it!" Gray shouted at Connor. 

"Well, I just remembered that you also harassed my fiancee in the same way. I am only giving back your passionate touch." 

  Harvey raised his head as he put down his pen.  0

"Boys, before the two of you went touchy-touchy, I would like to know your reason for being here." 

"Violet is not here, yet." 

  Soon, the door opened and Violet and Ace entered. Ace slouched on the sofa with a sigh. 

"We are here now." 

"I had thought about it." Ace mumbled. 

"Alright, I want to speak first." Connor raised his hand. Harvey nodded his head. He explained to them what happened at school. Each of them was in deep thought. They need to spread out the kids and each of them should have a parent. 

"I will take Alexa," Violet said. 

"Gray, you can have the boys," Harvey said. 

"It's fine with me." He shrugged. 

"They need to be supervised," Violet reminded him. 

"Then, I shall adopt Jade." Ace said. "But she can stay with you for a while. I still have a lot to do and I need to speak to Guinevere about it." 

"You need to get married first," Violet told him. Somehow, Ace sighed like he was sad or depressed.

"I wished that we were already married." He mumbled. "Okay, continue with the discussion." He said. 

  Gray crossed his arms as he thought deeply. 

"I think we should let them choose," Gray said. "Except for Alexa, but we can ask her." He looked at Violet. 

"If I adopt Jade, she will be with me in Paradis." Ace clarified. 

"These kids will be able to help us," Harvey said. "Not as a killing machine." He clarified. "They can be great leaders. What we need is to provide protection, and happiness and help them choose their career." 

"I saw what Jade did back there. These kids still have the reflexes of an assassin." Connor leaned on the wall. 

"But can we~~help them?" Ace asked.
