---------------------------------

Third person's pov

Stephano was sitting down in the VIP viewing room at the highest point of the arena. He stared at all the preparations that were being made for the test Isa was going to take in a few minutes
He just hopes she won't get overwhelmed by all of this

"Don't worry about her Stephano" Alessandro, who was sitting beside him put his hand on his shoulder
"Besides she's got Cassie to calm her nerves"

"She only got 5 months to get ready for this though" Stephano paused to take a breath
"Do you think she's ready?"

"I've seen her Steph, I know she's ready" Just then a guard walked like making both of their faces switch from friendly to stone cold
"Boss, he's here"

Stephano and Alessandro side-eyed eachother before nodding at the guard signifying that they were coming
They looked at each other again before they followed the dude out

Time skip

Stephano and Alessandro stopped at a door leading into a room
"I'll talk to him alone first" Steph said adjusting his suit before proceeding to open the door but was stopped by Ales
"Seriously though give the kid a break okay?" Stephano just looked at him before he opened the door walking into the room

A boy that was sitting on the floor while leaning against the wall watched him come in before jumping up on his feet
"Micheal" Stephano said with a cold tone
"Sir" The boy now know as Micheal answered not looking phased by Steph at all

He stood like a soldier with his back straight and his head held high. His face was void of emotion and was hard to read for most people
Steph stormed over to him pushing him into the wall

"What the hell were you thinking?" He yelled out fuming but Micheal remained calm
"It was the only way to get the job done sir" He replied with a stoic tone
"Forget about the job when it costs your life"
"But sir-"
"No buts! Try that again for no established reason and I'll take you out of the field"

Steph released him from the grip he had now putting his hand on his shoulder
Micheal had his head hung low
"We can't lose you Micheal... She can't lose you" Micheal's head jerked up at that moment making his facade to break a little allowing Steph to make out his emotions a bit

Steph pulled him into a hug patting his head a little
"Besides you're our top agent so if you die I'm pretty sure you'll come back to life" The two of them chuckled a little in response to the joke still in the hug

Just then Alessandro slammed the door open
"Oh you're alive I guess that good"
Steph and Micheal stood side to side looking at him before shaking their heads at the same time sighing

"Great! Father and son back together again and now I'm all alone" Ales said making Steph to roll his eyes while Micheal just continued shaking his head
"Go meet Dante" Steph told him waving him away
"Where's Dante and Matteo anyway?" Micheal asked with his blank expression back on his face. But Steph and Ales could clearly see a smile forcing it's way through

"They are in the top VIP viewing room" Stephano said patting his back, giving him the to go to go
(You see what I did there:^) )
Stephano smiled a bit watching him go out of the room
"Good kid" Ales commented beside him. Steph hummed agreeing. He reached into his pocket pulling out his phone after feeling it vibrate
"Come on, it's Cassie's turn" They made their way to another viewing room that they reserved for themselves

With Dante and Matteo,

Dante and Matteo went up to the VIP viewing room after seeing Stephano and Alessandro walk out
They watched each group on the course, analysing each person seeing if they would be fit to be part of the squad

Just then Micheal walked in making both of them stop their conversation to turn towards the intruder cause only the Rodriguez, DeLuca and Moretti family were allowed to use the room
"What's going on with you two?" Micheal sitting beside Dante completely ignoring the looks on their faces

"What?" Micheal asked turning to them after he didn't receive an answer
"What the hell bro!!" Dante and Matteo exclaimed at the same time
"You literally almost died on a fricking mission and then you just walk in saying what's up with you guys like what the heck!" Dante exclaimed standing up onto his feet while Matteo stayed seated nodding his head agreeing with what Dante said
"Yeah what he said" Matteo said pointing towards Dante

"Yeah I guess that was kinda stupid" Micheal stated nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders
"Kinda? It was HELLA STUPID!!"
"Yeah!" Matteo exclaimed again not really knowing what to say
"Dude stop saying yeah" Dante snapped at him as he was already pissed and the yeahs just made it worse
"Yeah... I mean okay" Matteo smiled sheepishly and Dante glared at him in return

"Don't worry guys, I'm good" Micheal said reassuring them making Matteo sigh in relief but Dante scoffed
"What? I wasn't worried"
"Sure you weren't" Micheal rolled his eyes at him as he sat down

They talked with eachother, updating him on was has been happening since he left before they continued analysing people for the squad

-------------------------------
