Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jaylan shrugged. "Just thought I'd say it." He felt bad that Kaine wouldn't realize that he might not see his Uncle again and it will be like Jaylan's fate. If only Jaylan could hug his Mom tighter, said many times he loved her...

When Kaine asked him what the family name was...Jaylan had to remember the name of the family he worked for. "The family I worked for was the Fernstride Family...nice people." He let him know that as sat there, twiddling with his thumbs. He did show a face of shock once Kaine explained elites were the ones that sit in the back and that made Jaylan blush. "No wonder my Mom kept laughing every time I sat in the back! I never got it why she always did it!" It does tell how ignorant Jaylan can be sometimes.

When Kaine said they have to leave, Jaylan got up immediately. So Lauren was going to be there for awhile? Well that's fine...it was her life. Then the Uncle stopped them, asking if they were leaving already. Kaine really did seem to be one having a grudge...Jaylan may never know why but it was best to put it to the side. As Kaine opened the door, Uncle called for Jaylan to get Kaine to come back. Jaylan gave him a goofy grin and a thumbs up as he left as well. "Thank you for the food sir!" He exited the restaurant.

Once he got outside, Kaine was yelling at Lauren to get something before going to the house. Jaylan saw her and smiled. "GOODBYE MISS LAUREN!" He waved a bit as he gor to the car and sat down. "Thanks for Lunch....I can tell what I said was irritating so no 'Master'....calling someone Boss will be weird though." He then looked at the back. "Can't believe Mom lied to me saying Elites only sat at the front." He mumbled as he put his seatbelt back on. "Anyway I'm good." He waited until the car backed out and drove back to the house. "Soo....is my job just hacking or...am I an all-around person where I just do whatever needs to be done?"

Jaylan shrugged as he then laid back on the seat, not talking much as he needed to mull things over. It wasn't until they got a gas station in which Jaylan had a first peek on the true potential work he will do. When Kaine got out to fill the gas tank, Jaylan had just opened the car door slightly and then saw the guys with huge scars and bodies coming in, forcing Jaylan to close the door and stay in. He would come out if Kaine said so...normally Jaylan would fight but they did not look like someone Jaylan could potentially fight back against. So he stayed in the car, staying out of the way.

Jaylan was horrified as the fight began. And not to mention that Kaine seemed to be able to handle it just fine..of course not without a knick on the cheek and blood on his suit. Jaylan did not know how to respond to this as they left, and Kaine got in the car quickly and drove off. Jaylan's face was pale and his fingers dug onto the seat as they got out of there quickly. He could only stare at Kaine as he had no idea how to respond to the whole ordeal he saw before his eyes.

When they got back to the house, he got out slowly even though Kaine was quick. He did not let his eyes off of Kaine, making sure nothing happened as he was ordered to go to the studyroom. Jaylan nodded and moved away, staying cautious as he went around the house to find the study hall. He eventually found it, and was surprised on how big it was. Jaylan might study things here, even some languages as well or just some skill-building. He got to one of the tables with a book on him, nothing special...just a historical book as he waited for Brains to come in. Jaylan did sigh, his hands still trembling from what he had witnessed from the gas station. "I....might have to do that someday...so much for keeping my promise Mother."

Jaylan had his head up to see that Brains had come in, telling them it was time to work. The blond boy hesitantly had the book to the side as he sat with Brains to get to work. Although Kaine came in and it made Jaylan give him a nervous look as seeing the fight firsthand from the car. So he was going to be taught how to hack in the job.

Brains had to demonstrate how he got his job done. It required the right software and being very quick in the keyboard. It also required knowing how to hide the identity so that the people couldn't track them during the hacking. Jaylan watched as Brain worked ferociously on the keyboard, his fingers going like the roadrunner, according to Jaylan, as his face was starting to sweat. Jaylan watched it very carefully, taking note of what he did and what he said as Brains explained how the things were done. Jaylan nodded at each word as Brains was able to successfully hacked the first target of the day, as he got Jaylan to the computer. "Now you try the second one, I'll keep watch in case you mess up. We don't want to deal with someone in the base because of your screw up." "Charmer." Jaylan commented as he went to the second one. Still remembering watching someone, Jaylan licked his lips as he went to work, his fingers jabbing each letter to get to the second one. His blue eyes locked onto the fast-paced words on the screen as he went through it. "Now remember to hide yourself." Jaylan was able to listen although Brains thought he didn't and therefore almost panicked. But Jaylan went through it successfully, with no problem. Brains didn't believe it and made sure he did it correctly. By looking it, Jaylan did as he was told and it got Brains to nod. "Do another one. This time, we're going to do a very protected one, as some of the elites will have expensive software that can fight back harder." Jaylan frowned but he nodded.

It must have took thirty minutes, as Jaylan kept pressing key after key, Brains having to lead him to directions, and sometimes giving a harsh response on where to go. Jaylan was used to stress though so he handled it slightly. It took the jabbing of many fingers and the multiple pierces of his tongue until it was completed and Jaylan's face was covered in sweat and his wrists twitching. Jaylan even took a few breaths as he realized there had been times he was not breathing. "Not bad.....I almost thought we might face some trouble." "Oh gee." He mumbled as he rubbed his neck, laying his head on the table. "But instead of doing what you did, there was an easier way to go pass it...and then you would not have wasted so much time. Time is very important after all. The more time the target has, the more likely you will lose. Always make sure you give them less time to react and fight back." That got Jaylan's head spinning as he had not ever thought of hacking as a possible job before. The blonde boy stared at the clock...it was four o'clock....usually almost dinner but Jaylan was not hungry. He did stand up. "Is there anything else? I plan on making dinner" Jaylan tapped his feet down as Brains gave him a weird look, then turned to Kaine. "Boss, do you need him for anything else? Otherwise I will continue the lesson tomorrow as we got through basic hacking and moderate hacking..tomorrow will be full-blown hacking, of not just banks...but things like security cameras so we don't have witnesses."

Jaylan gave Kaine a look as if wondering what he was going to do this time?! He just hoped it wasn't something that would make Jaylan regret taking this job....then again, he would rather not have the kids get hurt. But when the front door opened, that was when Jaylan followed to see what was going on. It was Lauren that was asking multiple times about what happened to Kaine. That got Jaylan to only look painfully between the two since Kaine was ignoring Lauren's worry about him. But when Lauren screamed and stormed off, Jaylan immediately tried going after her, but he was too late. By the time he got outside, she had driven off in the distance. "Miss Lauren..." He mumbled as the wind was his only company, passing by him with an eerie song playing in his ears.

Returning to the house, he didn't know whether he should eat or not. But he decided to make a very quick dinner with the leftovers...not in the mood to make anything as he microwaved it quickly and ate it quickly. He then washed the dishes he made before trying to find something to do. Reading didn't help him...there was no access to painting so he knew there was only one resort. After roaming around, he found what looked to be a training room, reminding Jaylan of a Karate Dojo with a hanging bag to the side. Jaylan needed a good way to get rid of steam, so he did. A bunch of punches and kicks went toward the punching bag, until his hands turned red and his feet couldn't kick it anymore. He got on his knees and felt his face was wet...and was unsure whether it was his tears, sweat, or both. He didn't go to find out as he sat there, he was starting to see the realities of where he was, who he was dealing with, and what was the possibilities of his fate.

After sitting there, taking some breaths, he stood up and had decided it was time to go and try to see the stars. He always liked the stars...it reminded him of his home...sometimes he talked to some of the servant kids and have competitions on who can find the most constellations. Jaylan went to the kitchen to get something to drink, mostly water though (as he suspected he might not be allowed having liquor) as he wondered if maybe he should stay up and wait for Miss Lauren...but then again, he had no idea if she lived here or not. Sitting on the porch, he sat down on the chair and drank some water, staring at the skies for awhile. "This is when Mom would sing a song? How did it go?...Crap...hmm....Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side. The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying. 'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. Hmm...pathetic." He laughed bitterly as he continued drinking water, "I'll never be forgiven for this will I mother?" He drank some water, continuing to look up before he decided he was calm enough to put the cup in the dishwasher and get the french book from the study and read in 'his' room. With only the lamp on, he read it until he passed out on the bed, the book opened on his chest as his face tried to look calm, but it was more puzzled than anything. Tomorrow morning he had prayed it will be bearable, but instead, his dreams were plagued with nightmares and his sleep-talking became so obvious to anyone who walked by, talking as if he was fighting back a scary presence.

When Jaylan had woken up the next morning, he knew the bad dream had done its job onto him so he woke up abruptly and with eyes widened in horror, he sat up and took a couple of deep breaths, trying very hard to calm down so he wouldn't get any complaints from Kaine or 'Boss'....whatever. With that done, he sat up on the bed and that was when he noticed a bag there...strange. He went through it out of curiosity to see there was a cellphone, a laptop, and clothes....who brought his here? Then he realized the book which was on his chest sat at the night-stand; closed and the lamp was off too. Somebody was here..."Who though?" He thought as he went through the clothes.

He got down the steps after a quick shower and change of clothes as he felt like having pancakes...maybe bacon and eggs as well. So he went to the kitchen and started cooking such. The sizzling and the shuffling was made in the kitchen as Jaylan felt his stomach growl. The pancakes was which he impatiently anticipated for this morning as he then completed making a big serving. He did see the guys getting food so he sometimes wondered if he was wasting time making this. But he shrugged it off...leftovers for him anyways. Setting up plates, food, and utensils on table, Jaylan sat down eating some of the food along with drinking some orange juice. Maybe then, he thought, he can wake up and forget about that nightmare. He did remember to bring the syrup so he poured some on the pancakes as he waited for 'Kaine'. Maybe he would want some too.

Jaylan was not going to be the one to talk in the morning, since there was no master technically, just a boss that forced him to join this workplace. Jaylan was on his second serving of pancakes, bacon, and eggs when he heard Kaine commented on how terrible Jaylan looked. He gave Kaine a 'no s**t' look as he just nodded to whatever Kaine said. Something about whatever he had experienced was not important. I'll deem whatever I am facing is important or not. He was drinking orange juice and eating the food as he would be glad to see people eating the food he made, but his mind was too mentally screwed over to pay attention.

When finished he stood up, and listened to Kaine saying he will go with him and Muscles. He nodded again, not saying a word. He had the dishes cleaned off and [if any] leftovers go to the fridge before getting ready. Hair brushed, teeth brushed, and face washed off so he would wake up at least. He stared himself at the mirror to see dull eyes and sunken face. He could only shake his head as he hoped it looked better as the day progressed. With every little thing done, he got out to where he assumed they will be at; the garage where the cars are. He did wonder what they were going to do, and if it will make his mental state worse. He wiped his eyes, getting rid of the rocks as he waited for them.

Getting in the car, he did feel slightly tired still as they were driving to...wherever. So he was going to be fighting muscles huh? That got Jaylan to slowly understand the problems will have to be put aside for now as he might get worse injuries if he did not calm down and get back to reality. Once Kaine said to rest up, Jaylan did not need a second order as he laid his head against the window and closed his eyes, letting peace come to him for a few minutes.

Once arriving there, the car stopping made him sit up and wake up. He knew he will need to be ready. So getting out, he wondered if there will be boxing gloves and protective gear. Something told Jaylan that will not be the case. So he got out and stretched his arms, legs, back, and neck. "How many rounds?" He asked as he stayed alongside the two, trying to mentally and physically prepare for the fight that was about to come.
