Chapter 6 - Waiting on an Answer

The boys sat in their room. Dinner was served to them. There was plenty of food steak, seafood, potatoes, and lots of vegetables. The boys ate slowly. This food was for celebration and they had yet to hear any news. After about 2 hours 3 men walked in. Their age was obvious and they wore what was known as Platinum armor. This was only given to retired warriors. However they did not doff their helmets. In fact the helmets were locked on with special locks.

The animals they resided from were obvious to the boys, they were Wolf, Jaguar and Dragon. It was odd to see a group such as them. Each armor shined with a unique pearlescent color. The Wolf was blue, the Jaguar was yellow and the Dragon was green. The men introduced themselves as SSS3. This immediately told the boys that these were retired assassins. SSS stood for secret special services. These men were squad 3 which was a very famous group.

Shocked by the presence of such great men the boys immediately stood up and bowed to them. "Your presences is an honor sirs." Wes said quickly as his partners nodded in agreement.

"We have to ask if you would be interested in replacing our spots amoung the SSS. I am not allowed to give details yet, however the compensation is great. You will however never be allowed to be leaders of any houses." said Master Wolf. His partners nodded as well.

"We have not even received any other offers sirs. Would it be okay for us to weight our options? That is a great opportunity, but we all know that you have very strict rules and guidelines. It is a hefty commitment for people of our age." Wes said hoping not to offend the older gentlemen.

"May we make ourselves welcome in your room and dine with you while we wait?" Master Wolf asked politely.

"Yes that would be great!" Sherwin spoke up and said while making plates of food for them.

"Is there anything you all would like more information about? We can tell you more about the houses and families around here if you would like." said Master Dragon.

Z answered "Knowledge like that can be quite useful for people in our situation. Please tell us more."

"I don't believe I must give you any old history lessons of how this place came to be. But we can start with the current leaders. Two Talons, mind you these are all nick names to make it easier to remember all their names. He was named for his skills in using two blades. He has been a very good leader, however it is hard to impress him. Once you have gained his respect however he will treat you very well. His father was the leader before him this did not effect how modest and controlled he was. With him as leader house Eagle has flourished greatly." Master Wolf said before digging into his food.

Everyone continued eating for sometime. They had yet to have any more visitors and the old masters were getting ready to continue on with their stories.
