Confrontation

Jesse's POV

I explained my plan to Lukas and he was off into the crowd of panicked people. You couldn't even see him anymore. I turned to Petra who was still waiting there like I asked and told her to grab the treasures and hide them off in the room (that only we had the key to) that they were in before. She nodded and, without question, she grabbed the treasures and ran off stage. I looked over at Jess and instructed him to escort the people out of the building and to have them go to their homes, have them lock their doors and windows until one of us gives the word. I don't know how dangerous these guys are so I'm taking precautions. These are my people, I need to know that they're safe. Lukas was know where in sight, Petra is off with the treasures, and Jess is helping the people. My turn. I have to go get Nell.

Lukas' POV

I started pushing through the crowd to get to the "these men", who ever they are. But someone else caught my eye.
Aiden...
Of course, he's behind this. He playing nice with us. Putting the lives of innocent people at risk for his own selfish needs again. He probably wants the Enchanted Flint & Steal again. And with us having even more treasures now, he'll want those too.

I pushed my way towards him as he fled just like the everyone else. Im right behind him now, ready to punch him in the face. I grabbed his tux collar and spin him around to face me. I then, grabbed his tie and aimed my fist at his face, he looked terrified and shocked.
"Stop this Aiden! Now!" I said with fury in my voice.
Aiden:"I have nothing to do with this I swear! Please, just let me go!"
Surprisingly, he almost sounded believable. But Aiden has a reputation for sounding believable, tricking people, backstabbing people. So much so, that he was able to get me, Jesse, and Ivor falsely imprisoned. So I didn't believe him.
"Don't give me that crap Aiden! Now, tell your men to stand down NOW!"
Aiden:" I just want to get out of here....please!"
I was about to punch him but Jesse's voice rang in my ears. "Just forget about it" she told me earlier. Uhg!! Why does she always have to be right?! If he is innocent, then all I'm doing is wasting time...
He better not be part of this...
"Get out of here..." I said in an chillingly calm voice. I let go of his tie and without saying another word, he disappeared into the crowd.  I ran over to the room that Jesse told me Petra had put the treasures in. It was obviously locked, because these robbers we trying to break down the door and failing. (Or at least I'm assuming they're robbers). Well, the Museum may have awful or no security at all but at least they have strong doors...
A few feet away from them was a young man, curled up on the floor clutching his stomach. He must be wounded. I tried kneel beside the young man to find out how badly he was hurt but one of the robbers stopped me. He made very threatening gestures, he was clearly about to attack me. I may be a skilled fighter but I'm very vulnerable. I have no weapons, no armor, no useful items, nothing. Not to mention I'm out numbered by four. I'd be doomed if I tried to attack them head on. I suppose we'll have to go with Jesse's plan since there's no other way around this. And there's no security! (Note to self: File in a complaint to the Museum about their lack of security).
"Wait!" I said, not yelling but I certainly raised my voice. " How about we make a deal?" I continued. They all turned their heads to look at me and their eyes grew curious. They we confused and I could tell that they were uninterested in making any deal. But for curiosity's sake, they played along.
Robber:" And what would that be?" He said before he chuckled a little. They we clearly mocking me but I honestly didn't care.
"Well that room is clearly locked and there's no way your going to get into it. But, if you leave these people alone and instead of fighting me physically, we play a game. Literally. If you win, then we'll hand over our treasures without a fuss and you can rob countless worlds and be rich beyond your wildest dreams. If we win, then you'll turn yourselves in. Or you know, you could keep jamming on that door for another hour..." I said trying to sound as convincing as possible.

They hesitated for a long while. Which, honestly, made me a bit nervous. Unfortunately I ended up having to stoop down to lying. They would able to break down the door if they tried hard enough. But if they knew that then there would be no stopping them. I hated having to lie but I had to. But if they refuse and get inside that room then who knows what chaos they could cause...
Robber:" What game would we be playing, exactly?" One of the robbers spoke up.
"Spleef..."

Oh my goodness this one took forever to write! But it's done now so I hope you enjoyed it. The next one will be out soon...
