- Roxanne's POV -

It was night time already, meaning it was time to break into the Russians base. I had a really bad gut feeling about Mattheo's plan, to stop the alliance.

I also had a feeling that Lucas might like me, I know it sounds crazy. I mean, he might be this amazing good looking guy but I don't think we could ever be more then just friends. I don't really see it.

I don't understand Mattheo, the guy seems a little bipolar. Sometimes he can be a real dick and then flirty. I rather keep our relationship professional, like it's always has been. Which luckily will end soon when we're done with the mission.

We all went in separate cars, broken into teams just like Mattheo wanted. I also gave everyone a bug to stay in communication, just in case something went wrong or not as planned.

The plan was simple: get in the base, talk to the boss, and find who the mole was. Well, that's what we told everyone. Mattheo and I planned different, we were going to negotiate with the boss.

Using one of Lucas's Lamborghini to get there, Matteo and I parked not to close to the base so we could approach his men with precaution. Our side was heavily guarded but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle.

I looked over at Mattheo as he slowly pulled out his gun pointing it down on the ground. He looked at me signaling that he was going to kill the ones on the left so I could do the right. I nodded in response, pulling out my knifes playing with it in my fingers ready to throw them.

"On my count" Mattheo whispers looking over at the men.

"1.." He whispers.

"2.." I whisper back with a smirk. He looked at me but ignored and looked back at the men.

"3!" He yelled as we both ran out of were hiding and started to attack.

The first thing I did was throw a blade at the security footage. I knew that would distract them for a while trying to fix it. I threw one of my knifes at one of the men right in the neck hitting the right spot so he could bleed out quickly. He tried to stop the bleeding with his hands but quickly fell died onto the ground.

I grabbed the man I killed as shield as the other guards keep shooting. When I finally killed then all I threw the dead body to the ground and looked up at Mattheo, who was done.

Mattheo lifted his gun aiming right at me. In that moment I didn't know what to do. I froze in my spot and just closed my eyes.

I heard sound of his gun shoot. I instantly opened my eyes and looked behind me, to find a died body guard. I quickly looked back at Mattheo who looked a little confused on what I was doing.

It took me a few seconds before I could say anything to him.

"Thank you" I say confidently.

"Did you think I was-" He said but I cut him off by walking inside the base. I tried to ignore what just happened. I could hear Mattheo's foot steps behind me.

I walked closer towards the hallway looking left in right. I heard far away foot steps walking away from the right as I looked back at Mattheo and signaled him 'the cost is clear'.

He walked up in front of me taking my hand in his so I could follow him. My hands were cold and his warm touch made me relax. But I had to focus.

I could hear fitting from far away. I just hopped everyone was ok. This was actually one of my first team missions I've ever done so having to worry about people other then myself was a little stressful not gonna lie.

Two guards walked up to us, Mattheo let go of my hand and killed them both in Les then five seconds. He was good.

"Where is he?" I asked him. Mattheo grabbed one of the walkie-talkies that the guards had on them and heard Russian being yelled repeatedly.

"I think that's him speaking" He said looking at me with those green orbs. But this wasn't any look it was different like a glint. I smirked waiting for him to speak.

"Sergei Mikhailov, we need to talk." He says with a stricken voice. It was silent for a minute. He must of had been thinking about it.

"We don't want to fight, but if we have to we will and it won't be nice" Mattheo said. Soon as he said that we got an answer.

"10 minutes" we heard the man say with good English but still with a little accent.

We keep walking until we we're stopped by guards. They tried to threaten us but we heard a voice yell at them. They quickly put there guns down in stood in position.

"The Italians working with the Americans, Mhm. Never thought I'd being seeing that in a million years." The man said as he walked up closer towards us until he was in front of us.

He looked old but not to old. He had gray hair with dark blue eyes you could almost say they were gray. He looked evil in a good way or at least his smile made it seem that way.

"What brings you two and the others in my country?" He says strictly but not to much as his smile faded.

"We came to make a deal." Mattheo says. I look up at him getting his attention as he looked back down at me. I feel his finger tip lightly touching my hand.

"A deal, you say?" The man says getting Mattheo's attention.

"Yes, one you won't refuse" He says as the man smirked at Mattheo's words.

"Then let's get to talking, shall we?" He says pointing direction towards is office as he walked in.

Mattheo started to walk in front of me but stopped when he noticed I wasn't walking.

"Come on" He said in a soft whisper tone reaching out for my hand.

"What about the others?" I say.

"Roxanne there fine, now let's do this fast so we can leave." He said. I placed my hand in his as we walked into the mans office. I just hopped I was making the right decision and not the wrong one.
