Mafia

Mission Deduction

Empriss was the type to bail if the situation got too close-quarters. She always carried a spare of everything. Especially drugs. As a drug trafficker, she was great at persuasion. 

So when she was tasked with teaching Aurelia about persuasion, she was stoked. After about ten minutes, Soleil let them go to a separate room to practice.

"So Aurelia, Soleil gave me your criminal file and you seem like you would be very good at persuasion with the crimes you have committed. Am I right?" 

"I suppose." Aurelia answered thoughtfully. 

"Well, being a prostitute and a rapist must include some persuasion! Being a drug trafficker, I have a lot of persuasion!" Empriss went into a fit of giggles and clapped her hands. 

"I will try." Aurelia said. 

"Now, try to persuade me to actually vote in this election." Empriss ordered. 

"Alright. Really, if you don't vote it's easier for you to be on the government's hit-list." Aurelia said flatly. Empriss froze. She hadn't voted ever. 

"Oh god… I'll vote." Empriss whispered. 

"Great. That was entirely false information by the way." Aurelia assured. 

"WHAT?!? Okay okay. First thing first. Great lying skills! Second thing second. Don't tell someone it's a lie! That's stupid! Honestly I would've voted if you hadn't said it was a lie." Empriss admitted. Aurelia laughed and sat back in her chair.

“So when does Soleil want us to start the mission,” Aurelia inquired.

“Well, if we don’t start it soon we’ll be dead,” Iris cut in while loading a handbag with some tranquilizers.

“What are those for,” asked Aurelia.

“The target, obviously, in case something goes wrong, ya know. Besides, we could meet a cutie and take them home!” Iris giggled and stepped fully into view, she was in a bright blue tube dress and 6 inch matching blue stilettos.

“And I’m assuming that’s for the target too?”

“Yep! Now here, go get changed, there is a bathroom in the hallway down there, first door on the right.” Iris pointed Aurelia down the hall and she took the skimpy dress she was given and got changed. When she emerged, Empriss had changed into a purple split skirt dress with matching purple pump heels. Aurelia was wearing an off the shoulder red dress with sparkling red stilettos.

“Damn, I knew that would fit!” Iris cheerfully chirped, dancing around. “So now we are all ready, each of these handbags has a tranquilizer, some drugs, and a disposable cell that you can use to contact each other in case something happens,” Empriss and Aurelia were handed the handbags and Iris continued, “The target should be at the Black Rose Bar tonight so we should get a move on, you guys ready?”

“Yep,” Empriss and Aurelia said in unison.

“Let’s get going then!”

“Yeah, you better, I’m getting kinda bored,” Soleil popped in before they left, but she was also in a different outfit. She had a sleek yellow dress with long off the shoulder sleeves and sparkly black heels. She looked awfully dressed up to be staying here.

“Boss, are you coming with us?”

“Yes and no, on a similar yet separate occasion, something came up and Axel needs me so really make sure you call me in advance.”

“Copy that, have fun!” Iris said, waving at Soleil while she put in some black diamond earrings.

“Yeah, you too.”

They all walked outside and met Axel by a large black limo and they stepped inside. Soleil got into the front and the others sat in the back. 

"I thought you weren't coming with us." Empriss stated. 

"Change of plans." Soleil whispered. 

"Ooh why?" Empriss asked. 

"There is a mafia meeting between smaller less known mafias and higher up groups on how to get rid of the horsemen. We are infiltrating as guests. The target should be here as well. Iris, you're in charge of seducing him and bringing him to the bar willingly. Empriss, you're in charge of tainting his drinks with some drugs so that he spills a bit more than he should. Aurelia and I are going to be listening to the meeting and gaining information, understood?”

“Yeah, but I thought I would be doing the persuasion?” Aurelia asked.

“That’ll come later, after Iris and Empriss do their jobs you slip over to them and you’ll do the talking to him. One of them will come over to me and replace you, and the other will stand by to make sure you’re doing okay.”

Within 20 minutes, the limo had pulled up to the venue and they all got out. Axel looked the girls up and down and smirked, earning a stern look from Soleil before he walked up to the bodyguard and said the code word to get them in. He let them pass and they entered a hallway that led to a stairway leading down to the main party. Another bodyguard stood there. Axel walked up to him and began talking.

“Hello, we are here for the meeting,” Axel spoke.

“If so, how many,” the bodyguard returned.

“Five of us.”

“Okay, who are you working for?”

“Athens.” The bodyguard checked the list he held and checked off the name of their ‘mafia’.

“Names?”

“Hermes, Hebe, Artemis, Persephone, and Athena.” He presented the girls, pointed at himself as well, and the bodyguard marked off five more lines.

“You shall enter now.”

“Thanks,” Axel said, smiling as the bodyguard moved to the side and let them pass. When inside, they saw that there were a lot of people. To the left of them there was a bar with people seated drinking bright colored drinks. To their right there was a pool table, a gambling table, and some other games. In front of them was the real reason that all these people had come. In the middle of the room there were tables lined together, and in front of them was a stage with a microphone. This was where the plan was going to be said. Empriss smirked and dragged Iris to the pool table with her.

“Well then,” Soleil said, “Let’s go take a seat and wait for the show to begin.”
