Jonas and Hugh needed only a moment to steady their minds and focus on the issue on hand. They shared a knowing look for a moment and before turning back to their predicament. They were still the five Kings versus 30 St. Vincent's students, and more were starting to straggle in.

Sam watched with a sharp look. "Listen, we are asking that St. Vincent's calls off their Hunt. It's a dangerous event and too many people get hurt every year."

Jackson laughed. "You think you can stop us?"

Lukas also chuckled and rolled his eyes. "You're delusional. You will not stop decades of tradition because you don't like it."

Hugh growled. "We're asking nicely once. That's all you get."

"And we are respectfully declining your request." Lukas sneered.

Jackson laughed loudly. "The Hunt will continue. But I'm ok with considering a Wolf Challenge instead." He gave a wink to Jonas before beckoning the others. "Come on guys!"

Some of the St. Vincent's boys started to laugh cruelly, including Lukas. Jonas tensed hearing about the challenge. It was popular last year which caused endless daily torment for him.

Hugh gave Jonas a curious glance, but Jonas already masked his feelings. The group started to disperse, but quite a few gave apprehensive looks to the five still standing in the center.

Rodgers sighed. "War it is then."

"Shit... really?" A voice squeaked behind a car. They all turned and saw the blonde curls bouncing a little.

"Travis! You were supposed to be in the car!" Millan yelled. "They could have taken you again."

"Stop crying! I took the risk for a purpose. Those assholes pay attention to social media, so we can make a statement that way." He showed them his phone. It was a new social media profile.

The about section tagged each one of their individual profiles. While looking at it, they saw more and more people start to follow the profile. 2 people to over 100 within moments.

They all knew that they could start making a statement like Jonas' Wolf profile. Jonas was running his hand through his hair when he heard a camera click. He turned towards the noise and gave Hugh a questioning look.

His ears turned a little pink. "You need a face on your profile." He sent of the picture to Jonas' phone. Jonas gave him a small discreet smile and updated his profile.

Jonas changed his profile picture with the one that Hugh took. He almost laughed when Hugh got caught trying to sneak a picture of him. He mentally noted that he should take a picture of them together and add it to his desk.

Hugh's picture showed Jonas with a serious look on his face, with a clenched jaw that accentuated his jaw line. The sharp line ran up to the seductive earring hanging from his ear. The light reflected in his eyes, making them glisten a little as the sun was setting behind him. Hugh was hoping to keep it for himself, but when he got caught he spit out the first excuse he could think of.

Jonas made a couple of changes including the profile picture. He also started to follow the other Kings and the page that Travis just set up.

Travis grinned seeing the changes. "Ok, the next part is tricky. I was able to catch everything on video. Well, starting from Jonas said something about huffing and puffing."

Hugh started to laugh. "That was a brilliant line by the way."

Travis bit his lip. "It definitely shows the dark side of St. Vincent's. It shows you talking about those assholes attacking you, and Sam asking to stop the hunts. But it also contains the argument with your brother, Jonas. I can cut that out."

Jonas sighed and shook his head. "No. It's best if we leave everything as is. It'll serve multiple purposes."

Travis nodded and posted the video with the captions: St. Vincent's Elites vs. Kings of Hawkings.

"Ok. Part two. We need our backup plan and own statement." Travis explained. They were all making calls and sending messages for a while until they were ready for the next stage.

Travis had them stand together and started the video.

: Hey world! We are the Kings of Hawkings. Now, you probably heard some negative things about us like we're thugs

: Scum

: Violent

: Insane

: A plague on society

: Ouch really, Jo?

Jonas shrugged.

: My father has a way with words.

They all laughed.

: But there has been an underlying problem in our town, which is St. Vincent's and their bullying. Hawkings normally minded our own business, but they have been taking this too far for too long. One problem that were dealing with currently, and what we were arguing about in the video, is a thing called the Hunt.

: Every year, St. Vincent's kidnaps a student from a random school and forces that school to find them. If it was a game that everyone agreed on and was non-violent, this could be considered a fun exercise between schools. However, it isn't fun and games.

: The random student that is kidnapped is abused, beaten, and humiliated throughout the whole night. The students looking for their peer are hunted down by St. Vincent's. During this time, the hospital is flooded with students who got jumped, hit by cars, or pelted with paintballs. Students are tormented all night, and if they do not find their kidnapped peer by the morning, that peer is strung up on a flagpole on campus.

: While St. Vincent's laughs off this event as a joke, others are experiencing a nightmare that they cannot escape. In the past decade, three of the kidnapped students have committed suicide shortly after the incident.

The guys all pause and Rodgers patted Jonas's arm sympathetically.

: We have to stop this shit.

: That's exactly what we want. We need to end this Hunt for starters. We asked them, but if you saw the video, you know how that went. So we are asking again here.

: Fuck em. I already told them we will only ask nicely once.

: Hugh...

Hugh sighed.

: We know those assholes won't stop, and they won't get in trouble because they have their parent's money backing them. So we're asking students from all schools to stay in groups and stay indoors. If you are targeted, post your location on our page. We have Hawkings students stationing themselves around town. Use the tag #SOS and ping your location. We will watch our social media and find you. You'll know who we are when we show up. We will all be wearing our jackets and we like fighting.

Hugh pointed to the crest on his jacket.

: If they succeed in kidnapping one of your peers, let us know. We will join you and help you find them. Hopefully by working together we can minimize the damage.

: We need to put an end to this, and hopefully we can do it together.

: And St. Vincent's... go fuck yourself.

The video ended with a laughing Hugh wrapping his arm around Jonas, and the other hand was flipping off the camera.

Jonas's phone started ringing and saw it was Chuck calling him and put him on speakerphone. "Boss."

"I saw your video. We all did. We're proud of you, son." Chuck said and the guys in the background all cheered.

"Thanks boss."

"We're keeping the gym open all night. Use it as a safe house. We will be here, so if you need to rest, hide, or receive first aid, come here."

"Boss, I can't thank you enough."

Chuck laughed. "We're not the only ones. Check your page, there are many businesses opening up to be safe houses. We're putting out signs."

Jonas turned to the others who were looking at the social media page. "It's true, everyone is posting safe locations now."

They piled in the car with Hugh sitting on Jonas' lap and Travis on Millan's. No one saw their kiss before, so they thought that Hugh was just being his normal clingy self. But there was a new electricity that passed through them while Jonas placed his hand on Hugh's waist, drawing small circles. They wanted nothing more but to explore this new step in their relationship, but they restrained themselves and tried to focus on what was coming next.

It was going to be a long night.
