As the national sporting committees were under the government, they had not choice but to obey. Reid, Reilly, Ronan and Rhys were all going to the Burke Cup. If they were taking the 2 doubles slots, the national committee's job was to find the 4 greatest singles pros in all of Breaca. There were certainly a couple. But Breaca was not a nation known for tennis. It really was not known for much. With that being the case, Ronan offered to be one of the singles players. Evan could play with Reilly instead. It was a bit of a slap to the face. Still, they needed bodies. Ronan was actually higher ranked than both of the alphas. Another alpha returned from retirement by request of the committee in order keep Mitchel from taking the last spot. Breaca had already been in contention with the idea. While there would always be those willing to do the work for the greater good, nearly all of the alpha players refused to join if they had to be on the same team as an omega. Betas leapt for the chance, but the committee was already compromising. They really did not want betas on the full team.
Capitalizing on it was Bruce. He was the CFO for a megacorporation. They sold costumes and party decorations. It was a no brainer to drop a 100,000 lin donation on a new team of national heroes. They personally designed and tailored the team outfits. Once they did, others did as well. They were the new hot topic everyone was talking about. Anna, Barnett, Marcus, Thom and Cody were all their personal bodyguards. People were pissed off. Evan and his father got a ton of death threats. So were all the boys. Things were getting very tense. Obviously that was when Bruce decided to spring the alpha partners onto Reilly and Ronan. They were the sons of Bruce's personal bodyguards. Their task was to follow the heirs around. Bruce had a squad of 6 elite bodyguards. Of them, 4 had alpha children around their age. 2 were already good friends with Kurt and were protecting him. Those children were fully trained and had actually ingratiated themselves with Kurt enough to join his own entourage. He lived well. This was the big chance of the others to prove themselves now.
