Chapter2:

After their meeting with Rafaello, the four instructors went to another room and started planning the camp that will take place in the next twenty-four hours.

Each one of them was engrossed in a pile of files that they found on the meeting table. They were silent for about an hour until Ayla spoke.

"I think we took our time studying the files of each one of our trainees. Now it's time we discuss them together. This way at least we can know what to expect, even if some of them are our children or nieces and nephews."

Jasper smiled at her and said:

"my wife is right, we need to know things about the brats we will spend two months with."

Edward cleared his throat and said teasingly:

"Don't forget my sons are ones of the "BRATS" you will spend time with."

"well for me they are all the same and I know they will make it very hard for us. They are not the easiest teenagers to deal with."

Ayla giggled and said jokingly:

"Don't be mean to them Jasper, I am sure Nina and Damien will do the job properly."

He leaned closer to her and pecked her lips.

"I can't make promises, I will be nice as much as I can but that doesn't mean I won't give them hell."

It was Edward's turn to laugh this time.

"I think I agree with you, even my sons are not angles and they will give us a run of our money, and to be honest I am excited to torture some young boys, it won't be a piece of cake."

For the first time since their banter started Jackson cleared his throat and said with a bored tone:

" I think you should forget about torturing people and let us do our work because I am not spending my night here with you listening to your arguments."

Edward laughed and said teasingly:

"someone is eager to return to his girlfriend."

Jackson rolled his eyes and turned his gaze to Ayla.

"can you please start reading those files so we can finish this day? It is already 20:00 and I am starting to get agitated. I don't have any children but unfortunately, instead of spending my holidays in a beautiful place, I will be stuck with them for two months."

"We know he needs to go home and get rid of the tension," Edward said with his eyebrows rising suggestively, this time Jackson threw his pen at him but Edward caught it and continued smiling goofily.

Ayla gave them a fond smile and started reading the first report in front of her.

"well, the first one on my list is Hunter. He is 17 years old and will be the oldest in our group. Son of Damien, I think we all know him. He has good grades and great scores in all his school work. He is very athletic and competitive but he doesn't put the effort into what he does. His arrogance is a little too much, from the report in front of me he also needs to improve his teamwork, but a little bit of motivation will do him good."

Jasper smiled evilly and said:

"don't worry I will give him all the motivation he needs."

Anyone who didn't know the man would shudder at his smile but the people in the room knew him well so they just shook their heads and resumed listening to Ayla who started reading again.

"Next we have Diana Edward's daughter. She is 14 years old, she is strong and has good grades and unlike our previous boy, she works hard and tries to improve so I don't think we will have problems with her apart from working on her confidence because from what I have here sometimes she doubts her abilities. She is a little timid and shy. Now we have her brothers, the twins, Carl and Eric well they are 16 years old. They are the strongest we have in the physical department, but they have a few problems in their academic works which we will try to improve and also they need some discipline regarding their crazy behaviors...."

Edward interrupted her protesting.

-"hey! they have no problems with their behavior they are a little wild and I won't allow anyone to break their spirit."

Jackson and Jasper were trying hard to suppress their laughter while Ayla just continued smiling.

-"Sorry bro, but those reports were made by the DON and I am just reading his comments and advice about the work and the improvements we need to make with the kids," Ayla said with a soft smile on her face.

-"and let me tell you something Edward he expects IMPROVEMENTS and he will be there to witness the final test so don't forget that our asses will be in the fire line if anyone shows anything but perfection." Jackson retorted with his voice full of irritation, he was hoping this meeting will end soon so he can go to his home and have a good night's sleep.

Ayla started reading again to avoid any more arguments.

-"now, there is Tatiana Drake's daughter, our allies from Russia. She is 16 years old. Her physicals are powerful just like her family members but let's say that her will is unbreakable and she has problems with following orders which can be deadly in our world. From what I have heard she caused a lot of problems with her father's business lately. So maybe it is the reason he is sending her to our camp. The Don was impressed with her so that explains why he selected her to join us."

-"I like this girl very much. When she set her mind on something it is near impossible to change it, she will make things interesting," commented Edward.

"Nicholas my baby is next. He is 15 years old, and from the boss's report he is impressed with him but he said that we need to make him improve his teamwork and break his high ego because he will never succeed in our world if he can't make allies and work with people. So basically it is the same problem we are having with Hunter."

"I am not surprised, the two are glued to each other. They have the same principles and mentality." Jasper knew his son and nephew were best friends and share everything, so them being alike wasn't a shocker.

Suddenly Ayla groaned and stopped reading.

"What is the matter, honey?" Jasper said with concern.

She facepalmed herself and whined like a small child.

"Jasper I think I found the real brat, we will be training "Brad De Rossi" Isabella's son they are our allies from Italy. Usually, I love all kids and don't judge them, but he is uncontrollable. He thinks he is the best in everything, he even challenged Hunter a lot of times and every time he loses but he doesn't seem like the type who learns his lesson. The DON wants him there and I wish to God he has a solid reason for that because in the report all he said was 'TRAIN HIM HARD AND MAKE HIM BETTER'."

Jackson said with an evil gleam in his eyes:

"don't worry Ayla one session with me and he wouldn't have the energy to even speak."

"The next ones are Jacob's sons Aiden and Matt they are also twins. They are 15 years old, from the report they are good boys and are good in both the physical and academic sides. They are the best at shooting and fighting hand to hand so we shouldn't have any problems with them. From our allies in Germany we have Cain 16 years old and his sister Camille 14 years old the report doesn't say much. Apart from their bad tempers, they are good. So, gentlemen, this is our trainees for the next two months. By tomorrow morning we will have their medical records and everything else concerning them."

-"I think we should call it a night. Tomorrow will be a long day, goodnight to you." with those words Jackson strode from the room followed by Edward. Jasper and Ayla lingered behind them for a few seconds. Jasper kissed his wife on her forehead and said smiling:

-"aren't I the lucky one to have my wife with me for these hellish months."

Ayla smiled at him and said in a mock reprimanding tone:

-"you know that the only thing stopping Natalie and Rosalie from joining us is the fact that the two of them have things to do at home. Natalie with her newborn baby and Rosalie with her final exams, so don't be cocky about it."

He laughed at her statement and kissed her deeply this time, after a few seconds they broke apart and headed out of the rooms with their hands entwined.

*********************

Damien parked his car in his mansion's driveway and headed towards his son's room to talk with him.

He found his room empty. So After checking the library and the games room he went to the gym. He was sure his son will be there. He stood in the doorway for a few moments watching Hunter lift weights with his shirt drenched in sweat which meant he was here for a long time. He watched his son with pride. He surely became a strong boy and will be a successful man in the future.

It seemed like his son was in another world engrossed completely in his activity so he cleared his throat to get his attention. When Hunter heard his father's voice, he put the weights down and stopped the music that was blaring through the walls of the room. After he swept the sweat from his forehead with a towel he said in greeting.

"Hello father, your meeting was long, you were supposed to be here two hours ago," Hunter remarked.

Damien smiled at his son and said:

"well, the Don surprised me in the meeting. He has a few plans for summer which I was uninformed about until today. How about you go take a shower then come to my office so we could discuss them."

With a nod, Hunter left the room to do as his father instructed.

Thirty minutes later, Hunter was sitting across his father's desk listening to the Don's plans for the summer. At first, he was shocked but when the information settled in, he looked at his father in disbelief:

"Are you kidding me, dad? From what I understand, you are saying I will be spending my summer in a camp with a bunch of babies training and doing things I already know how to do. Well, I think this is ridiculous."

Damien wasn't surprised by the reaction. It was his son, the replica from him. So his refusal was expected, but he needed to make it clear that this camp was important and he would be attending it.

"It is not a choice Hunter. The Don made it clear he wants you to be there. So you will be there. In the e-mail he sent me, he requested your presence an hour earlier than the others."

"May I ask the reason? Why does he want me to be there before the others?" Hunter asked accepting already his father's decision. It was the law in his family when his Dad orders something he will follow without questions.

Damien shook his and said:

"I don't know the reason behind his request, but honestly I didn't like the look in his eyes when I was leaving his office. I know he is hiding something and by the looks of it you will be the first one to find out."

"will you be there? I mean will you be one of the instructors?"

"I won't be a permanent one. But I will attend the training every Monday and Tuesday of every week for the whole two months. From what Jasper sent me, it will be a good experience for you. Try to make the most of it." Damien advised his son.

Hunter nodded at his father's statement in agreement.

"if that's all I need to start packing my bags."

"yes, it is all for tonight. You can leave. Make sure you have a good night's sleep. Knowing Jasper, he will make your first day memorable"

"Goodnight dad." This time Hunter smiled because his father was right. Uncle jasper is the strictest man he knows after his father.

"good night Hunter," replied Damien while watching his son leave the office. He hoped he made the right decision and this camp will have good results regardless of the surprise the Don is planing.
