Chapter Two: Suspicions

Kai looked at Godfrey through narrowed eyes. He was talking about the Sydney Opera House, which they were passing by right now. Kenny was jumping up and down in excitement. There was something about this guy that look familiar, as if he'd seen him before. But where?

He'd have to gather the team for a meeting later. This man couldn't be trusted.

"This is so cool!" Hilary squealed. "Isn't it Kai?"

"Huh!" he grunted. Hilary's face fell and subdued a little. She turned to look miserably out the window.

"Aw… c'mon Kai!" Tyson chimed in. "Give the girl a break!"

"Yea…" Max agreed. "Besides, we're on vacation!" What could be a better way to spend our summer than to be here?"

Kai ignored all of them and just kept on glaring at Godfrey. While no one was looking, Godfrey gave him an evil smirk.

Yep… this guy couldn't be trusted.

"Is everything going according to plan?" the voice asked over the speakerphone.

"Perfectly." The man sneered privately, his blue eyes shining maliciously. "The Bladebreakers won't know what hit them."

"Excellent," the voice purred with a honeyed tone. "You truly have served me well."

"Thank you milord." The man ran a hand through his greasy lilac hair. "You won't be disappointed."

"That's what I want to hear from you." The voice chuckled evilly. "I expect a report from you as soon as possible." The voice paused. "Have they been fully trained to battle perfectly?"

The cold blue eyes turned to the group of kids by the door. "Don't worry milord. Failure is not an option."

The man's laughter from the speaker echoed across the room. "Well, I hope you have a good show in store. I hate to be bored." The speaker clicked off.

"Don't worry milord," the man murmured. "You won't be sorry."

"So what you're trying to say is that Godfrey's dangerous?" Tyson rolled his eyes.

"You're just being paranoid." Max giggled as he flopped down on his bed.

"He's really nice you know," Hilary said huffily. "I mean, we've got a whole hotel suite to ourselves and no one has to share a bed."

"Free room service!" Tyson crowed out.

"Maybe its just jet lag…" Rei's voice trailed away.

Kai sighed exasperatedly. They weren't going to believe him no matter what he said. Tyson, seeing a break in the conversation, threw a pillow at Hilary.

"Pillow fight!" Tyson yelled out.

"Why you…" Hilary threw the pillow back at Tyson. Tyson laughed and dodged the flying object. It hit Max instead.

"Mmph-umph-oof!" Max's voice sounded muffled.

"I really don't think this is such a good idea…" Rei was cut off by another pillow. Max giggled.

In less than a minute, pillows and loose feathers were flying around. The room was filled with loud voices.

"Take that!"

"Oomph!"

"Hey!"

"Watch out for my computer!"

Kai sighed again and left the room. He was not going to convince anyone today. With the way they were going on in there…

He walked to the private bedroom that was conveniently in the suite. Kai had frowned upon it when he had seen it. No one else had suspected anything. In fact, they had all seemed oblivious to the evil aura that radiated from Godfrey.

Kai walked over the adjoining bathroom. A few minutes later, he came out refreshed but still wearing a sullen expression. He lay down in the extravagant four-poster bed and pulled the velvet curtains close. He hated all this fancy living but he'll have to make do with what he had. He looked up at the bed coverings and frowned.

"Who is he?" Kai wondered out loud.

Soon, his wander mind drifted off and sleep claimed him in its warm embrace.

The girl stood above Kai's room. She listened as his breathing fell into a steady rhythm as he slept. The girl smiled and dropped silently to the balcony. Slowly, she closed the door, leaving a crack. Than, she pounced onto the ledge of the balcony, jumping out into the surrounding darkness.

"So, how are you holding up Stanley?" Godfrey smirked at him.

"You'll pay for this Godfrey!" Stanley replied angrily.

Godfrey laughed at him. With a snap, a big muscle-set man knocked the elderly man unconscious. The man slumped against the chair where he was tied.

Godfrey grinned and turned to the guard. "Throw him in the room."

The man grunted and carried the whole chair. Godfrey gestured to the group of kids by the door.

"Are you ready?"
