Chapter 100 Alliance

"We want to ask for an alliance with you." I said. Well, I wanted be direct to the point just to finish this as soon as possible, whether successful or not.

I sensed the three gang members stopped from their works and Blake's eyes widen in surprise.

"The Insigma Fighters asking for our help? That's... surprising." Jake said and grin.

I sensed Coby clenched his jaw.

"What can we get in return?" Blake asked leaning on his chair.

"We are asking for an alliance, so if you'll ever be in trouble we're willing to help you the way we can," Adrian answered.

"That is unnecessary. We solemnly swear not to take side with others except Tarre... 'till death. We work together as a brotherhood." Blue stated while putting his eyeglass in its right place and again went back tapping on his laptop.

"So coming all the way here is useless," Lucas murmured.

"I'm sorry, but we can't help you-" Blake said but I cut him off.

"What do you want in return?" I asked.

Blake shrugged "We want nothing from you. We are absolutely contented from what we have right now except..." He looked straight on the wall.

"Except what?" Adrian impatiently asked.

"Nevermind. You can't give it anyway and it has nothing to do with you." He said and stand up.

"But, what is it? Maybe we can help." Coby tried.

"Tch, you can't help dude! We can only help ourselves." Jacob stated.

Blake looked at me straight in the eye. "Who asked for it?"

'Tell them I asked for it.' I suddenly remembered Claire's words but if I say this... would it change anything? They said we can't help.

"Nevermind. Coming all the way here was a mistake, I'm sorry." I stated and turned my back leaving Blake in confusion.

I sensed Blue stopped with his laptop for a while but the others stayed playing with their cellphones.

"This wouldn't happen if Claire didn't recommend them," Lucas said following me from behind.

"Don't blame my girl Lucas, you keep insisting on this." My voice was hard as I hold the doorknob but when the door was slightly open...

"Wait!" Jacob was fast to close it, blocking our path.

I quickly grabbed my gun pointing at him, same with my members pointing at the rest of the Blue Fire Gang members.

I looked at the Blue Fire Gang... all of them are raising their hands didn't even dare to grab their guns, instead, I saw smiles crept on their faces. Curiosity consumed me.

"Woah! We won't hurt you, put it down yow!" Jake said in mixed emotions, fear but I sensed gladness at the same time.

"What's up with those faces?" Adrian whispered putting back his gun and I did the same followed by the rest of my members.

"Let's talk for a moment. I'm so sorry for my rudeness, I never leave my eyes on my laptop ever since except when I was sleeping." Blue stand up from his seat and approached us, extending his hand with a smile. I shook his hand but everything still seems confusing and I can feel something is off.

"Me too! I was addicted to this Mobile Legend that I got too drawn in the battle." Jake said scratching his neck.

"Ahm, earlier I really wanted to face you but Jake stopped me," Jacob said while glaring at Jake.

"Hey! You agreed and said it was fun, don't blame it all on me!" Jake shouted angrily.

"Did I say something that changes their mind?" Lucas whispered at me but I ignored him.

"Again, I wanted to apologize on behalf of my members. They're still immature and need to grow up." Blake said, "And please make yourself comfortable." He motioned us to sit on the couch, Jake and Jacob stand up and offered their seats.

"Do you need juice? Coffee? Or any drink I can get for you?" Jacob offered.

"No, we don't need it," Coby stated. "They might put a poison on it, I think they're insane." He murmured while taking a seat on the couch.

"This is hella... crazy," Adrian added in low voice and sit beside Coby.

"You nailed it, dude." Lucas agreed but stayed behind me.

"So ahm... did Claire sent you here?" Blake asked hesitantly.

"Do you know... Claire?" I asked instead of answering him. I knew they've met before when we got captivated by them but... I think there's more into it.

"Claire became our close friend," Blue stated.

"More like a sister!" Jake said smiling widely.

"How?" I asked too confused.

Blake seems not to know what to say.

"We helped the two of you escaped before." Blue answered instead "We couldn't handle an innocent be involve with our activities, that is against our policy, and Claire was innocent so we wanted to pay her for Nicholo's mistake." He continued.

"By the way, where is she?" Jacob asked, I glared at him and he immediately zipped his mouth.

"She's at Xenon's house," Lucas answered while watching their reactions intensely.

Blake faced me once again but everything seems dull. "So now... please answer me, did Claire sent you here?" He asked with hoping eyes.

Filled with curiosity, I still nodded and they all genuinely smiled.

"Great!" Jake exclaimed.

"This is exciting!" Followed by Jacob.

"Tell me... what do you need?" Blake asked.

So, I told him everything we were facing and the enemy we will be fighting against, gladly they all listened carefully.

"So right now, you need people and weapons," Blake said while nodding in understanding.

I nodded in agreement.

"Well then, I can only offer weapons. Any weapons you needed but people..." he faced me with his serious look. "I don't think I can give them to you as much as I would like to. I need them to guard my facilities and the headquarters."

"It's okay, weapons are enough. We can handle-" I stopped the moment he talked.

"But I can offer you my best men including me," Blake said smiling.

Jake, Jacob, and Blue stand up straight and saluted, facing me.

I was overwhelmed by their actions and willingness to cooperate.

"Cool!" Adrian, Lucas, and Coby exclaimed smiling.

I nodded, still couldn't believe what just happened.

Claire... how did you make this happened?

"When can we go to your house?" Jake asked excitedly which made me looked at him.

I hope getting them to work with us isn't a mistake.
