Chapter 12

"This suite is incredible!" Angus said as he glanced around the room, "How much did this cost you?" he added as he motioned at Hale.

"It didn't cost me anything since it is all part of the VIP deal," Hale laughed as he set his bag pack on the floor. Kat smiled, thinking of how powerful Hale's Corporation is to demand a VIP contract as part of them being the Company's representatives who will only attend and evaluate the exhibit. She thought about the evaluation as she turned to the Bagshaw's, "You guys ready?"

"We're born ready," Hamish smiled as he sat on a couch. "Favourite colour?" Gabrielle asked as she and Zach both walked into the room. "Black…I guess," He smiled at her as he set down the bag pack he's carrying. Gabrielle gave him a wide smile, "Did you know that the colours black and blue looks good together?" she chirpily said as she focused on his reactions.

Simon laughed as he motioned to Zach, "Blue is her favourite colour, don't misinterpret." Gabrielle gave him a glare, "Seriously?" she said as she focused her eyes on her uncles who both just walked into the room.

Located just behind the Henley museum is the Grand Canyon Hotel which is one of the most high-tech hotels in London. The hotel has security cameras everywhere, it has an advanced security system, it also has customer trackers, and everything from the high-tech vending machines to the lounge rooms and sauna accommodations are key card system activated so there is no mistaking that the hotel is highly secured.

"It's exactly 4 in the morning so let's all relax and take a nap," Uncle Eddie suggested as he eyed the security camera above the sofa set. Zach took out a piece of paper from his pocket that was given to him earlier by Hale and he searched for the code even if he already has the right hunch.

Nap = Let's get working

~~~ Let Bygones Be Bygones ~~~

"No, Liz, not that one!" Macey took the lip gloss from Liz's hand and she handed her another one from her kit. "I can't see anything!" Liz complained as she glanced out of the window. Macey sighed and she gave her a laugh, "Of course it is pitch black because it's four thirty in the morning and we're above the clouds."

"There you are!" Keenan said as he pointed to Liz, "I can't remember what happened last night," he showed a smirk as he sat on the empty couch beside Macey. "Why are you here?! The Blackthorne Boys are supposed to be on the other side of the plain…I believe," Liz frowned.

"He's with me…I believe," Stacy said as she appeared beside Keenan. "Rules are rules, Stacy," Liz gave her a glare. Stacy smiled at her as she took Keenan's arm, "No, I know…but breaking this rule is worth it," She gave Liz a final smile before she joined her friends on the other couch.

"So?" Keenan eyed Liz. "First, I have a question. Are you and Stacy together, together?" she questioned as she studied him. He gave her a smirk, "What does that have to do with last night?"

"It's weird that you're already going out with someone else, not to mention, you just proposed to Macey last night," Liz laughed as she studied him with his eyes wide. Keenan shifted uncomfortably, "I did that?!" he sighed and then he stared at Macey who's been hiding her blush and her ring finger.

"I want to see that," he said as he pointed at her finger. Macey gave a loud sigh, "It's not really…a ring!" she smiled coyly at him as she showed him the ring that was made out of cloth and was carefully sewed. "That's why my shirt was ripped off when I woke up this morning," Keenan laughed, "Wait…I stitched that too?"

Liz nodded, "Yes, you did borrow my sewing kit," she said as she studied him, "I never thought you can sew," she laughed. Macey rolled her eyes, "So?" she examined him. "What?" Keenan smirked as he stared at her.

"Are you together?" Macey almost yelled and then she frowned not because of Keenan but because she cannot believe that she's been acting like a jealous girlfriend. He smiled, "We're not together, Mace," he calmly said and then he held her gaze like he's examining her when…"Ladies and Gentlemen. We have started our descent in preparation for landing. Please take your seat and make sure your seat belt is securely fastened until the plane comes to a halt."

Keenan broke her gaze and he laughed, "The pilot aka Agent Townsend has spoken so I better get back…I'll see you later, Mace." She gave him a nod but her eyes followed him as he strode back to the other side of the private plane.

Macey thought about the way Keenan held her gaze and she recognized that kind of stare, like he wanted to tell her something yet the way he broke her gaze, like he rather not. She knew that he's trying not to get too much closer to her since he's aware about her relationship status with the son of Governor Winters and then Macey thought about Preston when…"Five minutes until landing."

Macey glared at the radio speakers above her, for the reason that, she could have jumped out of her seat because of shock, "Great timing, Mr. Townsend."
