The Kanej Story [COMPLETED]

The Weeding

Authors note: ^i got the idea for the title from the Spongebob movie. When they're trying to find the goofy goobers. And they gotta "weed em out". I swear I'm mature 😂.  Anyway moving on to the chapter. (Oh and if you see like actual numbers in the chapter it's because I think it's easier to read than writing out the number. Also my brother has dyslexia and he says that for him it's easier to read a number than the word so I'm trying to make it better for as many people as possible, sorry if the numbers bug you)

Kaz POV
Before they walked into the Slat, they decided to explain some stuff to the kids.

"First it's not dangerous in there per se, but if anyone messes with you, tell me or Inej. We'll deal with it." Kaz told them, and once seeing that they understood, He motioned with his head for her to lead.

Inej did so and opened the door for everyone. The room went silent and everyone froze in what they were doing. Kaz and the kids walked over to the bar where Jesper was, a drink halfway to his mouth.

He helped Virgil up onto the barstool and motioned for Wylan, who was bartending, to come over. Damian hopped up by his brother and glanced at Kaz to make sure it was okay.

Kaz smiled and said "I didn't help you up because I thought you could do it by yourself. You're allowed to sit up here.". Wylan approached, raising a eyebrow asking Kaz a silent question. Kaz just gave him a look that said 'I'll explain later.'.

"Get them something to drink and something to eat. No alcohol. And nothing too heavy." Kaz told Wylan as he looked at the pair of boys, and noticed that they were a bit too skinny.

Wylan nodded and went off to the back to fetch them food. Kaz looked at Jesper who was on the other end of the bartop, and jerked his head towards the new kids. Kaz then looked at Anika, who was standing at the doors.

She nodded her head and locked the doors. Wylan came back with a tray stack full of stuff, but what made Kaz chuckle was that he was carrying it like he was a waiter. He set the tray down at the same time that Jesper took a closer seat, which was right next to Damian.

Damian and Virgil both went taut and looked at Kaz for reassurance. Kaz gave them a small nod and said "That's Jesper. He's one of my best..." Kaz paused thinking for a second,"Friends. You can trust him."

The boys turned back to Jesper who seemed to be frozen.

But After a few seconds, Jesper smiled brightly and said,"Yeah, like Kaz said, I'm Jesper Fahey. I am his 3rd. It's a pleasure to meet you.". Damian smiled and introduced himself, but Virgil seemed to be a bit hesitant to say anything yet.

He was looking at Jesper like he was trying to figure him out.
It seemed he had decided when he nodded his head at Jes and said,"I'm Virgil."

They then turned back to Wylan who was waiting patiently with the tray. He gave them each a plate and a bowl with a glass of amber liquid. Kaz glared at Wylan.

Wylan noticing the nasty look he was getting smirked and said,"It's Apple juice." Kaz rolled his eyes and subtly flipped him off.

He motioned towards Wylan and said,"That's Wylan, he's dating Jesper. I think of him as a son of sorts. You can trust him as well." Wylan blinked for a bit before zoning back in, and he started to nod and smile.

They nodded back and started to dig into the crackers and soup. Kaz turned around to where he was facing the room and said,"You mess with them and I'll kill you slowly. Got it?" The room was quick to shout back their agreement.

"Former dime lions, meet in my office." Kaz turned back around and whispered to the kids.

"I'll be back in a bit. Listen to Jesper and Wylan." He then gave Wylan and Jesper a look that told them to watch the kids, and he started towards his office.
