23 Chosen ones (1/2)

Uno was in disbelieved living in this grand mansion. What more— the people he was living with were all unique in their own ways but seemed to be living pretty harmonious. It has been a week since he moved in this mansion but their 'boss' still hadn't showed up.

Uno was looking at his reflection on the placid water of the pool. He was deep in his thought as he was wondering what did he signed up for. Probably due to the betrayal of his foster father, he never let his guard down around his 'housemates'.

”What are you thinking?” Startled at the voice that came from nowhere, Uno almost fell off the pool. Luckily, Leon got a hold of his shirt and pulled him back. Although Leon had a petite body, the way he pulled him back didnt seem he exerted much effort.

”Easy man. Leon didn't mean to scare you... why are you staring at your own reflection in the water anyway? We have mirrors everywhere.” Said by the half-naked man who was perched reposing at the tanning ledge near the pool side with his glasses on.

Uno even with his egotistical attitude still knew that these people aren't ordinary thugs. He too need to admit that they're on a different level than him. Therefore, when he came to this place —he never felt at ease.

Being in this place for a week, Uno didn't understand what this mansion for. He did strolled around the mansion and found out that aside from a few people, no one else lives in this huge mansion. What more is they never trained but only slacked off.

”What is this place? Who are you people? Why are we here?” Uno for the first time spoke his mind.

”This is a big house. We are the chosen ones. We are here hmmm... why are we here again Riggs?” Leon answered him in a trivial manner as he turned his head at the half naked Riggs who was reposing on the tanning ledge.

”We are here to relax.” Riggs answered languidly.

”Ahh. Right, relax.” Leon repeated Riggs words as he turned his head to Uno.

”Chosen ones?! Do you think your boss is God to call yourselves chosen ones?” Uno sarcastically sneered at Leon.

”No. He ain't God. And don't listen to Leon he sometimes talks nonsense but you get use to it.” Tito said as he entered the pool area with a bucket if beers in his hand, behind him was a tall man wearing a formal black suit.

”You can say that we are... family”. Tito continued as he placed the bucket of beers in the near table beside the other tanning ledge. He threw a bottle of beer to Uno which he caught without a problem.
