The Road to Defeat

SIXTEEN

Stay Motivated

The plan for the day was simple, everyone was going to have a meeting together to discuss the future of the mafia and go over everyone's role in the mafia. After Chloe had agreed to join them, Namjoon thought it was best to get everything started and organized as soon as possible. The mafia was filled with talented and highly trained people. Currently these were the roles that everyone took on. Lauren and Yoongi were their leading hand-to-hand combat fighters. Both of them had done years of training and, in everyone's opinion, they were the best in their field. It was also common for Yoongi to partake in other non combat related tasks and missions since he had spent time training in every field. This was very uncommon though. Namjoon was trained in weaponry, but the weapon he was labeled with was hand knives. It worked out to be the perfect role for him as he can be quiet and stealthy. Jimin and Taehyung were also both trained in weaponry, but they mainly focused on guns. Jimin worked mainly with snipers since he had amazing aim and control, the role seemed to really suit him. Taehyung was more of a hand gun guy, he had also had great aim and he couldn't help but love to be up close and in the action. Jeongguk wasn't very picky and he definitely didn't stick to any labels. He was good at almost everything, having spent most of his time training and hyper fixating on each role. Since he was good at everything and he liked to often change things up, he took on missions wherever he was needed. These six members, Lauren, Yoongi, Namjoon, Jimin, Taehyung and Jeongguk, were considered the front line members. Meaning, they were seen working and were consistently in the action.

Along with front line members they also had a section of members who were considered hidden or secret members. These hidden members were Hoseok and Jin. Hoseok took on the position of the hacker, this job consisted of utilizing computers and technology to break into databases or other forms of technology. Jin's job was to work undercover and interrogate or sometimes to torture people whom they needed information from. His job was difficult to handle sometimes but he had become very good at what he does.

As soon as Chloe arrived at the house she was greeted by Namjoon, who was awaiting her arrival.

"Come on, everyone is in the meeting room," he said, leading Chloe in the direction of the room. The night of the fight that the girls had gotten into, Chloe had agreed to become a member of the mafia. She didn't know her reasoning, because honestly she didn't have much reason behind it. Chloe made this decision blindly and on the spot without thinking, but she felt like it was a step in the right direction. It felt like this was the thrilling excitement that was missing from her life.

Chloe quietly sat down at the large meeting table next to Emily and Jeongguk. Namjoon made his way back to the head of the table beside Hoseok, ready to get the meeting started.

"So as you all know, we have two new members of the mafia, Emily and Chloe," Hoseok said, starting the meeting.

"Yes and I'm sure they will make great additions to the team, we'll find the perfect roles for you two!" Jimin expressed his happiness to the two girls, and his pleasant reaction helped ease the girls' nerves. Namjoon cleared his throat to bring the attention back to him and Hoseok.

"Yes, for the most part we are happy you are here." Namjoons eyes were narrowed to the two girls across the large table. "However, this will be your last chance to back out of this. Once you have signed a contract with us there will be no escaping. Being a part of our mafia is hard work, both mentally and physically, so make sure you are making the right decision." His words were cold and scary in a way. However, the two girls had no doubt in their minds about their decision to join the mafia. Both girls were content and happy with their position in life at the moment, and although being in the mafia brought an aspect of danger into their lives, it also brought with it a sense of security. It felt as though no matter the situation, someone was always going to be there if need be.

Once the two girls showed no objection, Hoseok carried on with the meeting.

"So as Jimin said, we will find a role for each of you that will best showcase your talents. To decide these roles that you will be placed into, we will test you." The two girls nodded toward Hoseok in understanding before he continued to speak. "Once you have signed the contracts today, we will set up for training tomorrow morning. The training will consist of various activities involving different skills. Trying you both out for each mafia role will be the best way for us to see which fields are your strengths and weaknesses." Hoseok happily clapped his hands together before leaving the room to go get the contracts.

Chloe and Emily looked toward each other with soft smiles. Both girls were glad that they were alone in this and that they would be experiencing this all for the first time together. Chloe and Emily were both anxious but they weren't necessarily scared. After all this was a big commitment for them both.

Lauren led Emily and Chloe to the workout room. After everyone finished the meeting and the girls signed their contracts, Lauren wanted to take the two and have a small workout session. Lauren showed her two friends around the gym and training rooms.

"This may seem like a lot right now but I believe in you both. You two have so much potential, but nothing ever comes easy to anyone. So you're going to have to work hard, and as long as you can stay motivated, that hard work will come easily," Lauren said, smiling toward the two girls before showing them some training exercises.
