The Road to Defeat

TWENTY TWO

Plans in place

The next morning came way too quickly for the group. They had spent all night talking, watching movies and getting to know each other. They all went to bed late so some of the members had only started getting up at ten in the morning. Surprisingly, considering their regular day habits, Chloe and Namjoon were the last two asleep. As the other members around them slowly started getting up they all noticed the two who were still asleep surprisingly in each other's arms. Somehow throughout the night Chloe and Namjoon have found their way to each other and we're contently cuddling in their sleep. Emily giggled quietly looking at Taehyung and pulled out her phone, starting to take pictures of the two in their vulnerable state. Namjoon groaned, waking up to the sound of pictures being taken. As he slowly awoke he realized now that everyone was looking at them, and he noticed that Chloe was in his arms. He was quick to shake Chloe awake and push her off of him. Chloe was dazed from sleep and couldn't quite comprehend the glare Namjoon was giving her, however his glare didn't last long before he looked away from her. Jin laughed loudly and clapped his hands together.

"I'll make breakfast then we can start the meeting." Jin spoke through his laughter whilst making his way to the kitchen, most of the others following behind him. Namjoon was quickly up and out of the room, leaving to go to his bedroom to get ready for the day. Chloe, still being half asleep herself, rubbed the sleep from her eyes and looked around the room. Blankets, pillows, and sleeping bags were scattered across the floor, and the only few people remaining in the room were Jeongguk, Ash Island, Yoongi, Hoseok, and Changmo. Chloe smiled at Changmo as they made eye contact, getting up from the floor she went over and sat beside him.

Lauren made her way toward her room whilst all the other members were in the kitchen looking forward to breakfast. Noticing that Lauren was leaving the room, The Quiett followed behind her. Without noticing him there, Lauren made her way to her room but before she could open the door, The Quiett coughed to break the silence. Lauren looked over her shoulder before completely turning to face him and rolling her eyes.

"What do you want?" Lauren spoke bitterly, she was the type of person who always valued her alone time so when someone unnecessarily interrupts her, she gets a little angry. The Quiett smirked. He leaned forward placing his hand on the closed-door above Lauren's head, her back against the door and him looking down at her.

"I know you like me, and I want you to tell me." He spoke seductively but Lauren was never someone who was easily persuaded. She rolled her eyes at him and pushed him away from her.

"The only things I like are money, work, and sometimes my friends," Lauren said sassily as she continued to open her bedroom door. However, The Quiett's smirk never faded from his face. "You know I have lots of money darling, how much do you want?" He questioned her while pulling his wallet out from his pocket. Lauren looked between his hand and his face in complete confusion, what the hell did he think he was doing.

"Who do you think you are, my sugar daddy? I mean you're probably old enough to be one." Lauren said with a shrug. Now she was the one smirking and The Quiett was dumbfounded in shock. The two shortly laughed the situation off.

"Seriously though, if you do want a sugar daddy I could be one. I like you, you're a lot smarter than you lead yourself to believe, you're someone I'd want to keep around."

Once everyone in the house was fed and content, Namjoon was quick to call a meeting to start. Namjoon looked around the room, however, he made sure to avoid Chloe's glance. Once Chloe had noticed Namjoon's behavior she was saddened, but she wanted to make the most out of her day so she tried not to let it get to her. Before anything further could happen, Hoseok spoke up, ready to get down to business.

"So we, the Italian mafia, have gotten a proposal from the Ambition gang stating that they want our alliance and help in taking down the German mafia." His tone was serious and stern and he took the room's attention very quickly. "We have agreed to partake in this deal and it is now time to think of plans and strategies, and we need to get a full understanding on why we are taking down the German Mafia. I will let the members of Ambition talk shortly about their reasoning, however, to all the members in the room right now please note, this will be a serious attack. A lot of preparation, training and strategy will have to go into our plan to ensure that we are strong enough to come out on top." It was a moment before anyone spoke up. Hoseok's serious tone and almost threatening speech got everyone thinking about what the future is going to hold for them. It had been such a long time since the Italian mafia had participated in any kind of large fight or even war with another group. It was safe to say that everyone was nervous at this point.

"So everybody, I will explain our reasoning and why we came to you, the Italian mafia, with this deal in the first place." The Quiett began to speak, looking around the room at everyone's faces. "For months now we, the Ambition gang, had been fighting with the German Mafia. It started when their Mafia leader approached our group claiming that we had to back down and no longer participate in any gang or Mafia like activity. It was safe to say that their Mafia was feeling threatened, word had gone out all the way to the border of Germany about our gang's activity. When we had first formed this gang, we had participated in many mobbings including ones along the border of Germany." The Quiett had taken a quick moment to gather the rest of his thoughts and finish his speech."We feel as though we have to take charge of the situation before the German Mafia comes after us." With that his speech was done and everyone was nodding in contentment. His reasonings were there and they were worthy, the group had come to the Italian mafia because they needed help taking down such a big Mafia, it wasn't something they could do alone.

"So for our plan of attack we will need to go through thorough strength training, ability training, and strategy training. To make this the easiest it can be Hoseok, The Quiett and I are going to work together to come up with a training schedule for each member. This way we can form a schedule specifically for each member to highlight their weaknesses and build off of them. For now we are going to break for lunch and the three of us will work on the schedules, then when we come back we can discuss it all further as a group. As for our plan to attack, we can talk about this in a future meeting, but our estimated time would be three to four months of training before we attack." Namjoon's words spoke clearly and with authority. He was great at talking to large groups and he was honestly a true leader. With everyone having final approval, everyone left the room whilst The Quiett, Hoseok and Namjoon stayed in the meeting room to come up with schedules.
