Chapter 16 - Bringing The Team To The Fourth

In the dining room sits Chodas mom and Kaitlyn across from each other, both with wine glasses in hand drinking red wine.

Choda sitting next to his mom with a soda and chips in hand.

"So how's life been since graduating?".

Chodas mom asked Kaitlyn as she lifted the glass up to her mouth before drinking it.

"It's been good I guess. I've just been training and stuff".

Olachi puts the wine glass down licking her lips then wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.

"No job?".

"No~ auntie, but my big bro brings in money for me so I'll be alright".

Kaitlyn sticks out her tounge playfully as she picks up her glass.

"But anyways we can catchup later lets talk about why your son was sent to my house".

Chodas mom chuckles.

"I know it's random, but im sure he already told you why he was there".

"Yea he definitely did".

Kaitlyn glances over at choda seeing him drinking his soda.

"Is this you finnally having me pay you back or something?".

Olachi rubs her scar from her eye all the way to her lip.

"Well its about time right, and plus I wanna see your do something with your life. I dont want you to become some sort of assassin or anything".

Kaitlyn looks at choda again now staring back at her.

"How many people do you have right now?".

"I have three including me".

Choda says as he puts a chip into his mouth.

Kaitlyn glances back at Olachi.

"Auntie... I'll do it on the one condition".

"Lemme hear it then".

Olachi says sitting forward in her seat.

Kaitlyn looks at Choda who's busy eating chips before smacking the chips out of his hand onto the table.

"He has to take this serious. No junk food and constant training, if I see him slacking at any time im leaving. I know you need me brat, why else would your mom send you to get me on the team. One strike is all you get, try me and I promise this time I won't throw the knife away".

"Wait a minute what knife".

Olachi asks confusingly as she looks at Kaitlyn.

Kaitlyn looks back at her.

"Oh its nothing auntie just an inside joke thats all". She says smiling brightly.

"Mhm~ better be".

Olachi says raising an eyebrow at Kaitlyn.

"I couldn't have just finished my chips bro?".

Choda gets up wiping his hands on his shorts.

"I promise ill take this serious... but never touch my chips again lady".

Kaitlyn chuckles before finishing her wine glass quickly and starting to walk to the front door.

"Bring the rest of them to my house tomorrow at four. And be training ready".

"Alright I'll try to".

Choda replies.

"Don't try punk, just do it. If you don't im not joining".

Kaitlyn responds as she walks out the door closing it behind her.

Choda looks at his mom with a blank face.

"So she's really the best you could think of?".

"No. But she's the best for you. Now clean up all this mess boy before I whoop yo butt".

Sighh.

Choda picks up all of the chips off of the tanks and ground throwing them away.

"Now go shower boy you smell like outside".

Olachi finishes her glass before getting up to put the glass in the sink.

Ringggg Ringgggg.

Ringggg Ri-.

Choda wakes up to his alarm in his superhero themed bed.

He gets up doing his morning routine before picking up his phone and texting everyone in the group chat.

"Guys meet up at my house at 2:30 its about the quad so be on time".

The first to reply was Benji almost instantly.

"Its alr 11:02 every minute counts burnt chopstick be earlier next time".

Next was Haven.

"K".

Two minutes later was Aston.

"Alr ill be there".

Then by two thirty they all had arrived. They were infront of his garage, choda had a black backpack that was stuffed with something on his back.

"So why we here burnt boy?"

Benji asks sniffing choda playfully.

"I've found a fourth and we're all about to go meet them".

Choda replies backing away from Benji.

"Well then lets go don't waste time".

Haven says as he starts walking down Chodas street.

"Straight to it, see that's why I like you crystal boy".

Says Benji.

"Or does crystal waste no timer sound better, I dont know I'll work on it".

"I guess we're going right now then".
