In an abandoned lot, a group of four people met to discuss a plan in order to snatch the money Jake and Adie will be donating to a foundation. What these four people didn’t know was that they weren’t alone. Among the group, there was a being that could either reveal or conceal himself at will to humans- not to mention his ability to influence their mind or desire.
The four people were a considerable distance apart from each other. A lady, who was responsible in determining which racket they will do next, was furious about a matter. The woman protested while Belial, on the other hand, was trying to observe each and every one of them. He leisurely roamed around in the circle, feeling his chin with the tip of his fingers.
"Who's the new person you brought Dragon?" asked L, who concealed herself in a hooded pull over and wore a surgical mask. She didn’t like the idea of a new member.
"Rice died the other week in an attempt to rob a bank but heaven was not on his side. I brought a new member we need for this new project." explained Dragon calmly.
"You know that we don't want to take risk by having new members! We don't know if we can trust him at all!" shouted L as she pointed directly at the new recruit Dragon brought, who was silently standing by a corner.
"We know L! But with such a big project, we cannot execute it with just the three of us? We need additional people!" Lucky cuts in. It would be their end to do so.
"And do you think he can handle it? Does he even know what he has gotten himself into?" L yelled at Lucky trying to control her nerves. In turn, Lucky ignored L and began to clean his ears with his pinky finger.
"He is a young pickpocket I saw at the streets- he's quite talented." defended Dragon, a bit amazed by the boy’s skills.
"We are not just pickpockets! We are professional thieves! Robbers!” L shouted clearly agitated hearing that the newest recruit was just a mere pickpocket. “We are killers!" L screeched and this piqued Belial’s interest.
"Hmm... I think I can work it out with these people." Belial muttered as he stopped in front of L, still in his invisible state. L was staring at Dragon, unaware that another being was actually face to face with her. Belial raised his right hand over his mouth, which made it look like he was about to whisper something "Just go with the plan and do not bother the new recruit." Belial whispered.
"But, thinking of it, we might actually need additional people for this project so I'll let this one pass okay? But I don't trust him yet- remember that." L suddenly changed her mind while the three guys were confused with how L’s change of thought. A while ago she was furious by the idea of having the new person in their group.
"So you're letting me in?" asked the new guy, who was surprised with the turn of events. He was around his early twenties or even younger than that. With teens in the streets nowadays playing with danger, they seemed to look more mature than other normal kids their age.
"Say yes." Belial whispered again to L.
"Yes! Though, I am warning you there is no turning back from here on out?" warned L, staring daggers at the boy.
"I know! I understand!" replied the new guy who was quite relieved and content for getting in the deal. Yet, he felt his curiosity grow as he eyed the woman’s mask. "Why do you wear a mask?"
"You’re not allowed to ask that!” Dragon and Lucky turned to the boy, “Taboo question!" Dragon and Lucky exclaimed in unison.
"Why not?" the new guy innocently asked.
"Even we do not know her real name, nevertheless her face, but we have already worked a few projects!" replied Dragon who was embarrassed by the fact that neither of them actually knew anything about this lady.
