Chapter 376 - Take the kids (2/2)

”Of course it is, I usually take them out once a week. It would be bad for them to stay cramped up in this place. There's no problem moving the schedule ahead, especially with some extra hands around here.” Steve then looked around the room and pointed at the two teenagers.

”Zinc, Claire, you two go with him. I'm sure Jack doesn't know his way around, no what might cause trouble while walking around these parts.”

”What about you?” Jack asked. ”Will you be coming as well?”

Steve shook his head.

”No, I have some things to do today, it seems like thier selling another lot of our kind at the auction house. Last time I arrived too late. I will need to gather more information before planning my attack this time.”

”I can help..” Jack was about to say, but Steve just shook his head.

”Looking after the kids is just as important, if not more important.”

Before heading off, Zinc and Claire grabbed thier weapons and armour. They swung them a few times before checking all was ready. They then went over to a strange chest in one of the corners of the cave and pulled a few items out.

After handing the items over to each of the kids, they immediately put it on thier faces, and Jack could see what they were. They were masks.

”Here take this.” Zinc said as he handed a mask over. ”Our faces aren't that popular. Still, it's best if we keep them hidden. Luckily for us, it's pretty normal for people to hide thier faces in these type of areas.”

”Thank you. ”Jack said, but Zinc had already walked off.

It seemed like the teenager had a bit of an attitude but also wasn't a bad kid. If it was at the academy, perhaps Jack would have done something to try fix his attitude. However, he could tell just from looking at them, that all of these people had been through a lot. More then they should have gone through at that age.

The group was waiting for Jack just at the entrance of the cave. All of them were wearing some type of gear or had a weapon with them. The only one that looked a little different though was Rachel.

For she was wearing a skirt and had a bag over her back that went just below her waist.

”Hey, the liDon'tgirl shouldn't carry the stuff”, Jack said.

”No, that's not it you numpty,” Claire replied. ”The bag is to cover her tail. We have made a whole on the other side. This way she can freely hide her tail in the bag.”

”Can she not put it away?” Jack asked.

”Rachels control of her power is the best out of everyone, but for some reason, her tail has always shown and hse has never been able to be put away. So we just have to be a little extra careful with her.”

After Claire had finished explaining, Jack tilted his head out of the cave from above and realised they were quite high up from the city.

”How are we going to get down?” Jack asked. At that moment, the three kids hoped on to Jack's neck shoulders and arms and grabbing onto him.

”Uncle Steve always took us down.” A boy said.

”Really, well if he can do it, then I can do it too.” Jack's competitive nature was ignited as he was compared with his brother.

While they were descending down the side of the cliff, and Jack was starting to get a sweet on, his brother shouted from the cave.

”If anything happens, come back immediately and inform me. Don't try to be a hero.” Steve said.
