Dakota Delaune

"I'm sorry." Felix said and I shook my head.

"It's not your fault that your son is a psycho." I said and Felix sighed.

"Angelo did lock us up but he was nice enough not to take our lives. They put me and Franco in a separate room. Franco only saw Angelo but I saw 2 more people. They're pretty scary, they look like the people that you can't play around with."

"Do you know their names?" I asked curiously.

"No, they saw me through the glass window."

"All the sketches.. that Franco made.. was it true?" I asked and Felix nodded.

"I never thought Angelo was one of them. It was like a solid headquarters. I thought I would see those kind of things in movies but.. it's real. Franco was sedated when they brought him in. Franco's sketches were only the things that he can see from the jail cell but I got to see the whole building when they brought me in."

"What is it like?"

"It's huge, Dakota. They're powerful." Angelo, I never thought you're a part of this kind of thing.

"There were planes, jets and a lot of cars on the basement building. They have a really tight security and a lot of employees there."

"Did you tell Franco about this?" I asked and he shook his head.

"I told him that he won't be able to even touch them. It's impossible.. trying to get into their headquarter seems like a suicide to me."

"What was Angelo doing when you're in there?"

"He's a scientist. I'm pretty sure of that. He was wearing a white lab coat." Angelo, is this what you called.. dangerous? I don't get it.

"They held a lot of people, Dakota."

"What? What do you mean?"

"They have a lot of prisoners. I assumed a lot of people wanted to kill them." That made me completely silent.

"I don't think you should be with him. He is indeed risking his life to be a part of ILLICIT." Somehow, I understand him now. Slowly.. understanding him.

"How did you get out of there?" I asked because if they were held in prison by the ILLICIT, how did they come out alive?

"Angelo actually going to send us to the France police but Cornelius.. got us free."

"How is that possible?" I asked because he did say that ILLICIT has a tight security.

"I got knocked out when it all happened."

"Who's Cornelius?"

"Both, Cornelius and Franco hated Angelo. They both want to he a part of ILLICIT. They want power."

Angelo Vander

I just arrived in Italy after solving some problems with the new lab in Athens. Dean decided to go straight to the headquarters to get something before flying to London.

"Mr. De Luca, team beta went down when you go to Athens."

"What? Why didn't you tell me?!" I bursted out angrily.

"Mr. Kyson took over since he knew that you were in Athens." I ended the cal and called Chance right away.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" I bursted angrily.

"How about you check the surveillance radar? It's fucking funny." I ended the call and grabbed my iPad. I opened the surveilalance radar and saw a lot of people surrounding the headquarters. I called Dean.

"Dean, there-"

"I know. This should be fun, it's been awhile since I have bloods in my hand."

"Shit!" I ended the call with Dean and dialed Jovie's number.

"Jovie, where is Dakota now?" I asked.

"Mr. De Luca, I was with team beta this morning and I'm in the hospital.. recovering from an injury." I ended the call and told my driver to go straight home. I tried to call Dakota's phone but it went straight to voice mail.

I ran into my apartment calling her name.

"Dakota! Dakota!" I ran to her room and it was empty. There's a letter on her bed saying that she's quiting and that she's going to New York.

"John, I want you to find Dakota Delaune. Check if she's on a flight to New York or not. I want you to check her where her phone location and check the CCTV. Tell the security team to send people to check on all of it!" I said and ended the call because Dean called.

"Angelo, you should come here.. this would be fun.."

"No! I'm looking for Dakota, she's missing." I said and Dean laughed.

"That's for not killing him, why are you trying so hard to be a good boy in front of that woman?" Dean ended the call and I got the location where Dakota's phone last located.

"I want you to send people there, she might be nearby." I said to John.

"Roger that, Mr. De Luca."

"Now!"

"Mr. De Luca, we only can send 5 people for now. Mr. Alessandro told us to not send out people from the headquarters right now." Shit!

"What's the situation there?"

"Franco and a man named Cornelius are both trying to negotiate with Mr. Alessandro to be a part of ILLICIT." What? He wanted to be a part of ILLICIT.

Dean Alessandro

"Do you think you can impress me by bringing 76 men with you? Your men can't beat my men, Franco and Cornelius." I said laughing through the microphone. They can't even get through the first layer of the security.

If you want to impress me, burn the fucking headquarters down.

I was impressed with the one that broke into our headquarters in London. They got in but still not being able to.. take over.

Indeed the London headquarters was the oldest one. I admitted that.

I grabbed my MG-900 and opened the window a little bit. Locking my target at Franco's shoulder to give him a little warning. I shot the bullet and it scratched his shoulder. He was screaming in pain.

"Angelo! Come out, you bastard!" His men started to shoot into the headquarters.

"Jody, take them all." I said and Jody shot all of his men at once.

"You're an idiot, Franco. Cornelius.. you are too." I added and opened the gate for them to get inside. I activated the magnet taking their guns off their hands. I went down to greet them. I went out from the building and found them looking around like a kid going through a toy store.

"Welcome to my headquarters boys." I announced myself.

"Who are you?" Cornelius asked.

"If you want to be a part of ILLICIT, you should negotiate something interesting. I'm a businessman, I want profit." I said.

"You just ruined Silware and you.. you can't even run your own.. company. How do you expect me to make you a part of ILLICIT?" I asked as I turned on my favorite weapon in this building.

There's a white laser pointing at them.

"We will bring you more profit to the company and make sure that we will help you on developing weapons." I walked around them laughing so hard hearing it.

"Company? It's interesting to hear that you think ILLICIT is a company."

"Where's Dakota?" I turned to see Angelo butting in. He really has a way to ruin my fun moment.
