5.

Bella didn't forget to put a Black Rose besides the dead person whom she killed and when she did it for the third time, everybody noticed her.

Adrian, Ashley and Klaus exchanged looks. But no one said anything.

Finally, Rhys Volkov was waiting for them in the hallway with a whole army behind him. Bella smirked, she was quiet.

"Who are you? Are you alone?" Rhys asked Bella who didn't speak a word.

"You are destined to die today, why bother asking the name or how many people they are?" Adrian was the one to speak.

"I, am Black Rose. You must know me." Bella said sarcastically.

Thank goodness, the mask had a voice changer on and her body suit didn't really reveal if the person was male or female.

On hearing the name Black Rose, Rhys visibly gulped back his words. And his men started whispering. "What are you afraid of? That one person? You are hundred and he, alone." Rhys said arrogantly.

Bella in a blink ran and quickly swiped her blade across the necks of the people who were standing behind Rhys and then was back again in her place. She was swift and fast like lightning.

Ashley, Adrian and Klaus was dumbstruck at what they had witnessed just now. Rhys was the only standing now and Bella stood in front of him.

"So, what do you think of me now?" She asked and Rhys just stared at her.

"Come on, I have no time to waste, good bye. See you in hell." Bella said and shot him in the head.

Rhys was dead and now the Wolverine gang had no leader. The rest of the people ran away as soon as they saw Rhy dead. But Bella was quick. She was an army herself. She didn't need 100 men to fight for her and she wasn't a superhuman, but that's how hard she trained.

"Hi, I just want to say that I'm grateful you saved me and my men and if ever you need someone to help you or even just stand with you, you can always count on me and my Night Walkers Gang." Adrian told her to express his thanks.

"Get out of here as soon as possible." Was all she said as she took her leave and left the 3 people wondering who it could be.

Ian was quick to come get Bella as soon as he got the call. He dropped her off at home and then went to the airport.

"Was that the same person who killed Henry and now Rhys?? It's terrifying and I hope we never become enemies." Klaus said.

"Let's get out of here before the police arrived. I know the exits, follow me. Klaus stay close to me." Joshua told the other and mentioned Klaus specifically.

"Is Ian your very best friend?" Ashley asked and Ian looked at him and smiled.

"Well, it's a long story. He is like 3 years older to me. And we go way back. Didn't Adrian run a background check on me? Did you find anything? I bet not. It's because of Ian and his brother Noah. My real name isn't Klaus either. My name is Jonathan." Klaus told them as they walked out.

"I believe something must have happened and forced you to do all these things. Did you work for the Arthur King then?" Adrian asked him and the tension could be felt.

"Not exactly. My father was Arthur King's driver, more of a friend to be exact. But during the time when Arthur killed the previous tryant of Viper Fang Gang, the remnants of his family captured my father to know more about Arthur. My father was loyal and had a strong friendship with Arthur, so he killed himself rather than undergoing torture. My mom was alive, but she died two years ago of heart attack. I was sent here by Arthur, to be exact by Ian and Noah after completely erasing my previous identity." Klaus told them and by now they had reached the back gate of the hotel.

"I'm sorry for your loss, Klaus." Ashley told him but Adrian wasn't convinced.

"Did you ever..." And everybody stopped in their tracks.

Klaus, Ashley and Joshua all knew exactly what question Adrian wanted to ask. Ashley stiffened and Klaus let go of his hand. He turned to Ashley and Adrian and looked straight in their eyes.

"No. Never. I was sent here because Noah and Arthur trusted you enough to keep me safe and give me a new life, which you did, Adrian. Even though Ian was completely against it, he still let me go. We were in contact first, but Ian didn't want you to misunderstand me, so he stopped contacting me. Even though he asked me about you at times, it was only if you treated me well or were good to me.. We never spoke of work." Klaus explained and suddenly Adrian and Ashley both felt guilty of even asking him that question.

Klaus had proved his loyalty many times and never once had done any mistake.

"We just have to walk there. But looks like it will be difficult so I will go there alone and get the car here. You, you and you, will all stay here unless you want to die." Joshua warned and they all listened and only stared as he left.

"Ashley, on your guard. Shoot if you see anyone aiming at him." Adrian told him and he agreed.

Thankfully, everything went well and Adrian was now at the airport ready to go back to San Francisco. But somebody was waiting for them. Ian. And his brother Noah.

Joshua drove them straight near the jet without wasting time. They all got out, but Klaus made his way to his best friend.

"Ethan, how are you?" Noah hugged him and patted his back.

"Noah, glad to see you too." Klaus replied snuggling a bit more in his big brother's arms.

"You're still the same. You haven't changed. Is he treating you well?" Noah asked pointing at Adrian and Klaus nodded.

"Good, then. Go, he is waiting." Noah told him pointing him to Ian who had his back turned towards them.

Klaus went to him and stood till Ian finished his work and turned to him. "I am glad you're safe. Joshua did his job well." Ian said patting his shoulder.

"I am going back. I wanted to stay, but I will only add to the trouble, so it's better I leave here." Klaus told Ian and he nodded.

There was an unknown tension between these two and Noah knew it.. He smiled shaking his head and turned away.

Both Ian and Klaus looked at each other for a while and then Ian looked away. Playing with his fingers, he sighed and later Ian and Noah walked Klaus to Jet where Ashley was waiting.

Adrian had gone upstairs, he didn't stay back. Ashley smiled at them, as soon as they were in front of him.

"Tell him, to treat you well. And be good to you. You, my baby brother are the only reason, why no matter what, the Viper Fang will never be enemies with the Night Walkers. And we are all grateful to him and his members." Noah told Klaus before the later left to go.

From far behind, somebody was watching them intently. But not the people who were present, rather the one who was absent. Adrian.
