Song Recommendation (s): Feeling Good - Michael Bublé

Third Person POV

During the following months, Kaali tried to figure out who the spy was, who Tara was. But there was no luck, they tried everything - lie detector tests, installed fear, threats - nothing worked.

So instead of worrying over something they didn't have control over, they decided to do something productive of their time, like, finalizing the route for transporting the gold. Especially since February the 15th - the day they were transporting the gold - crept closer.

"What route are we taking?" Rohan asked Malini, Aiden and Brynne when they were in the locked conference room as they sat around a map of Sofia.

"We can't do this one. Dushman will see it coming and we'll lose it, we'll lose everything. Besides, it's too populated," Brynne said, tracing a road with her finger and then crossing it out with a black Sharpie.

"This one doesn't work either, there are too many merchants. Too many witnesses." Malini stated as she crossed it out with a Sharpie of her own.

"What about this one? Not populated, Dushman will never see it coming because they've never even explored the territory. It's perfect!" Brynne suggested, gesturing to a road on the map.

"We can't, the government changed it a couple of months ago. It's only big enough for a bicycle to fit, not enough room for a car." Aiden replied, crossing yet another road out in black.

"What if we make a road? That way no one will even know about it except us." Rohan proposed

"We can't. That'll take too long, it's January 13, Rohan. A month and two days until we have to move it. Nice idea though," Malini replied

"Dam it," Rohan muttered 

"What about this one? Kaali will never see it coming. It's still in our territory, it's not populated, Kaali doesn't know about it," Aiden said

"Yeah, but you can only fit one car. Won't we need more?" Brynne asked

"Not necessarily. One person can just go, that'll be enough. Once you get through this road, then it's an open area. They won't have protection, but it could work," Malini replied

"Brilliant, that could work! I nominate Raat to go, he's the best driver out of all of us." Rohan said

"Same, I agree," Brynne said

"We should call a meeting though, people might not like it if we just decide without them," Aiden said

"We will. Meeting in five minutes, conference room three" Malini said, sending out an emergency text to all the Kaali members.

And so, ten minutes later all the twenty-one Kaali members - all dressed in black leather - were in Conference Room One for an emergency meeting.

"Is everything okay boss?" A Kaali member, Mark, asked with their eyebrows knitted together in worry.

"Exactly, are you alright?" Another asked, Rani, as she tied her brown hair in a ponytail.

"What's happening boss?" Another Kaali member, Quinn, questioned as he cracked his neck and knuckles.

"Everything is alright. We have figured out a way to transport the gold but there is one problem. Only one of us can transport it, there is only enough room for one car. And so, we called you all here to vote on who we want to go," Malini started

"It is going to be one of us four, it's not that we don't trust you, it's that we don't want anyone getting hurt if something like that were to happen," Rohan resumed
