(June 13th 2026)
"Claire call all the boys, to tell them to prepare for the 30th of June. Hunter is all healed up, and Jay is starting to walk without crutches" Mongkut said
"Ok Mongkut, but you should call them since you have all their numbers" Claire said
"Oh shit you're right" Mongkut said
*Calls the group chat with all the boys in it*
You all need to prepare for the 30th of June, that's when the pride parade is
Agent 44 we all have been training, Kim even showed me how to use a gun
Good Jay now you know how to use a gun, but Jay how well can you walk? you have two more weeks to heal
I can walk pretty well, the doctors said I'm doing good with physical therapy
Agent 44 can Kim and I go to the agency?
Sure, bring Noah and Hunter with you and meet us here in fifteen minutes bye
bye
"Claire the boys are going to be here in 15 minutes" Mongkut said
"Oh so they want to visit the place that's good, but can Jay walk yet or not"
"He said he can walk pretty good, and Hunter's injuries have all healed" Mongkut said
"Ok good" Claire said
*15 minutes later*
"Jay you wanna jump on my back, so we can show Agent 44 and Miss President our special move?" Kim asked
"Sure, Hunter give me my bow"
"Here" (Throws the bow towards Jay)
"Hey Agent 44 and Miss President, Kim and Jay have something to show you, follow me to the practice room" Noah said
"Hi Miss President and Agent 44"
"Hi could you show us what you wanted to show us?"
"Yeah so, I get on Kim's back, since I can't walk that well, I then jump off of his back and shoot the bow and arrow, (Shoots the bow and arrow) like that" Jay said
"Oh shit that was cool" Agent 44 said
"Train some more on that since we got three weeks until the parade" Noah said
"Wait Jay and Kim, how did you know about B.R.A.D.I.O and the pride parade, in 2023 B.R.A.D.I.O didn't exist and we didn't have to protect queer people back then" Agent 44 said
"Noah and Hunter have been talking about it since they started working at the restaurant, once they knew Jay and I use to work for H.O.P.E" Kim said
"Oh so that's why" Agent 44 said
"also my hand is healed" Noah said
"That's good because we are going to need everyone to fight B.R.A.D.I.O" Miss President said
"and my shoulder is still healing but I can use a gun" Kim said
"Kim be careful because I don't think the doctors will be very nice to us if you reopen your wound, from shooting a gun" Agent 44 said
*Current time B.R.A.D.I.O. pov*
"Ok Kira show me each profile of the H.O.P.E employees"
"Ok first we have Hunter Han Hill, a bartender at Sydney's Thai Restaurant & Bar the next three are also from Sydney's Thai Restaurant & Bar we have Noah Kaito Jackson, Jay Liu, and Kim Matsumoto, Sir who do you want explained first?" Kira asked
"Kim Matsumoto" Leader Kim said
"Ok Kim is Japanese, he's 27, and he's 6'2, he is a waiter and a bartender at the restaurant" Kira said
"Does he know multiple languages or just Japanese?" Leader Kim asked
"it says here that he knows Mandarin, English, and Thai" Kira said
"Show me Agent 44 next" Leader Kim said
"Ok Agent 44 real name Mongkut Channarong is Thai, he's 28, and is 5'9"
"I knew that bastard in High School he tried to take Claire away from me, CHRIS"
"Yes Sir?" Chris said
"H.O.P.E might be going to the party in two weeks, could you sneak in to the base and see if they say anything about it?" Leader Kim asked
"One step ahead of you boss I already sent Agent Black to go undercover as one of their employees" Chris said
"Good job Chris I taught you well" Leader Kim said
"Thank you Leader Kim" Chris said
"Now back to the profiles, Kira show me Hunter's profile" Leader Kim said
"Ok Hunter is Thai, he's 28, and he's 6'1" Kira said
"And last is Jay Liu, He's Chinese, 26, and 6'1" Chris said
"Ok so both of you pick someone to kidnap, Hunter, Noah, Jay, or Kim, no picking Claire, or Mongkut leave those two to Agent Black and me" Leader Kim said
"hell yeah thanks boss" Chris said
*H.O.P.E Pov*
*At the hospital*
"Ok Jay try walking to Kim, don't force yourself if you can't do it" the physical therapist said
*Jay starts walking*
"Fuck"
"it's fine Jay you were half way to Kim, especially because you healed quicker than any patient before" the physical therapist said
"Well you can walk, just not well, but I could always carry you on my back if it's needed" Kim said
"Kim you are also still healing from your shoulder injury, from when the bullet cut a bit of your shoulder and almost dislocating it by shooting a gun days after the incident even though all the doctors and I told you not to" The physical therapist said
"Well I can move my arm very well, but Noah still can't, you want me to bring him in tomorrow, he would have went today but he had work" Kim said
"Yes, bring him, Mateo, and Jack I want to make sure Mateo can walk, and both Noah, and Jack can move their arms" The Physical Therapist said
"Ok Jay you wanna hold my hand to help you with walking?" Kim said
"yes" Jay said
"Ok see you tomorrow, bye" The Physical Therapist said
"Bye, have a good night" Jay said
"You too" The Physical Therapist said
