"What the hell Lachlan?! I thought you agreed that we needed to kill him!" Zoe was shocked by Lachlan's sudden appearance but was also slightly annoyed. It took her a bit to get herself into character, preparing herself mentally to kill Thomas.

"Yeah I know I agreed to the plan but there have been changes but I've struck a deal with Thomas' father Joseph. Basically we spare there lives and they now work under us," Lachlan explained quickly, only taking a single breath between the sentences.

"But, what if they decided to get their revenge? Now they'll know almost everything about us," Simon butted in to argue against Lachlan's decision, he didn't want anything interfering with their operations.

"Don't worry, they won't be entirely working on anything important. Rather, they'll be working for Choripán Reyes as compensation for what they did to the owners. We'll be using them to get information, as we spread the Choripán Reyes business across the globe, setting up a food truck at every major city," Although he hadn't actually explained all that to Joseph, he shouldn't mind, they were just being used for something slightly more useful.

Simon stopped to think about it, he still had some concerns. "I suppose that would be useful, but is it really worth letting the family live?"

"Hm, well it would be a lot easier getting all of Joseph's subordinates to follow along, but there would kind of be the danger. That is unless we scare him into knowing his place," Lachlan suddenly had some inspiration from when he frightened that one spoiled Land Guardian leader. "I'll use Aaron to scare him to death, that way he'll be too scared to do anything that'll aggravate us."

"Okay, but we'll only keep him alive if he is actually scared. Remember, it might take a bit of effort to get rid of that ridiculous personality of his," Simon said. He didn't think Thomas' outrageous personality would be easy to change, although there's no reason to not try.

"What are you doing in here?" They heard a frightened voice to the side of them. Thomas had awoken from his slumber due to their arguing, he had heard a bit about what they were talking about the only real thing that took his attention was the fact that the people in front of them were planning something.

Unfortunately, he couldn't move all that well since he had been strapped up. He was also on some strong pain killers, his arm hadn't been fixed yet since the surgery needed for it was difficult and the only doctors that had the ability to fix it were currently on their way.

"Oh speak of the devil, he's awake," Lachlan said joyfully and jokingly. Leaning over Thomas Lachlan presented a devilish smile, "You won't need to worry about a thing, all you need to know is that you'll be working for us now. The only problem with that is that you might seek revenge, so we're just going to scare that idea out of you."

"What are you talking about, if my mum finds out about what you're doing you'll all be dead!" Thomas panicked and shouted at them.

Lachlan lightly chuckled. "What are you talking about, your mother won't be doing anything to us anymore, neither will your dad."

Thomas' eyes constricted, his mouth opened wide from shock. "Did you kill them?"

Not Thomas was frightened of the group in front of them. His mum and dad were his support beans, without them his entire world was crumbling down. He felt his mind collapsing as he thought about everything that'll happen from this point onwards.

But before he could think too hard about it Lachlan interrupted his thoughts. "No and yes. You see, your mum wasn't too happy with what we did to you so she attempted to kill us. Unfortunately, she was weaker than us and we did indeed kill her. Your dad, on the other hand, was much more rational than your mum and presented a deal. You and everyone that works for your dad will now work under us," Lachlan explained with a bright smile. Lachlan's smile sudden changed to a darker one. "So, since you're now going to be working for us we'll need to make sure you won't try anything that'll harm us."

Thomas began panicking as his heartbeat sped up. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's no need to do that; since my dad agreed to the deal I promise I won't do anything to break it. So can you all just go back and let me recover."

Lachlan let out a chilling chuckle. "What are you on about, words aren't soul binding but what we'll be doing will certainly affect your soul."

'Come on out Aaron, let's put that aura to some fun use' Lachlan said to Aaron with a cheerful tone. He wanted to see Thomas' face when he comes against the aura, whether or not he'll be able to resist it or not. 'Who am I kidding, he won't be able to last a second'

Aaron appeared behind Lachlan, he tightly fit against the wall, bending its body partially around the bed. Aaron had his head hovering over Thomas, he gave Thomas a terrifying look as he stared intensely into each other's eyes.

'Master, I believe this human has soiled himself' Aaron explained formally. Lachlan felt like bursting out with laughter, but then he smelt it. When he heard what Aaron said he just assumed he meant pissed himself, but in reality, Thomas had shit himself.

"Oh that's just nasty," Lachlan waved his hand in front of his face, trying to block the smell but it didn't work. "Alright, I'll leave Aaron in here with you and we'll all go out and wait. Sound good?"

Thomas shook his head vigorously, "No, please don't leave me with this monster, I don't want to be alone with this monster."

The group ignored his pleas and went outside the door before close it behind them. Lachlan leaned against the wall. 'Alright Aaron, do your thing'.

Everyone felt an overwhelming pressure envelope the entire building, they felt the air get heavier as their bodies were getting pushed to the ground. Yet they weren't even the ones feeling the full force, Thomas was.

Inside the room, Thomas has long since passed out cold, foam coming out of his mouth as his eyes looked as though they were rolled back. The stench smashed against the noses, Lachlan appeared next to the windows and opened them up.

"So what are we going to do now?" Simon walked up to Lachlan and stuck his head out the window to breath. The rest of the group followed, all sticking their heads out. From the outside, the scene looked oddly funny, with a row of heads just conversing outside a window.

Lachlan shrugged his shoulders. "Not sure, probably wait here for a bit to make sure everything runs smoothly and then go back with the air stones."

"Oh yeah, I almost completely forgot about the air stones," Chloe said. It wasn't just her though, most of the group forgot about what they were doing here. Since the entire time they've been off the island they've been busy dealing with issues.

Zoe turned to Lachlan. "Just wondering, how did you know which room Thomas would be in?"

"What are you talking about, there's no way Thomas would be on any floor other than the top. From there I just used my eyesight to spot you all out, wasn't too hard considering almost all the rooms are empty," Lachlan explained, confused as to why Zoe would ask that.

"Top floor?" She turned her head to look up and noticed the roof was really right above them. She turned towards the others. "Then where does that other button lead to?"

Lachlan got confused when she mentioned another button, he assumed he was referring to an elevator since it's probably how they got here in the first place. He tilted his head in confusion, "What other button?"

"There are two elevators, one that people normally use and one for people with high status. One the one for people of high status there's a completely black button. There were two other buttons on the elevator, VIP and just a pitch black one," Zoe explained.

"How many buttons were on the elevator you used when you brought Zhang here?" Lachlan turned to asked Joe. If what Zoe said was correct then there might be more to the hospital than they thought.

"Well there were 7, we went up to the 7th floor where Zhang is currently being operated on," Joe explained.

"That's odd, there are only 5 floors in total from what I saw, including the one we're on right now," Lachlan explained. The rest of the group got more and more confused when they were piecing everything together.

"Could some of the floors be secret ones? But then again, why would they put secret floors on the main elevator, that'll just be too much of a risk in case someone accidentally presses the wrong button," Lachlan couldn't see the reasoning behind that.

"Maybe those secret floors aren't as important, but maybe that black button is. Should we go scope it out?" Chloe asked for everyone's opinion. Although it was obvious they were all going to say yes, there's no way they could leave this mystery unsolved.

"How about we scope out those other secret floors first before we move onto the black button, that way we could get an idea as to how dangerous the situation we're getting ourselves into really is," Lachlan suggested.

"Sure, I suppose we can save the best for last," Zoe said joyfully. Her nostrils began to twitch, the stench from Thomas had reached them. "Let's go do that now, I can't bear being here for another second."

The rest followed, Lachlan quickly unsummoned Aaron and walked out the door, closing it behind him. He would come back to deal with Thomas later after they deal with the mysterious floors.

He walked down the hallway, the rest of the group was already in the elevator waiting for Lachlan to reach them. When he walked in they pointed towards the black button, Lachlan noticed something odd about.

Leaning down he took a closer look, through his good vision he noticed thin marks against the button. They looked as fine as the hair on someone's head, yet they left a mark across the button.

Lachlan turned to the group. "Now I really think we should check out the other floors, there's no way something normal can leave those marks."
