Rome, Tej, Benny and Ramsey stood together waiting for the others in their formal wear. "Well, well. This is the most mafia I've seen this crew look," Rome says as Brian and Dom walk over to them. "Roman, I'll tell you that's a good thing," Dom says with a smirk as Letty walks over to them. "Wait. Wait. Wait," Tej starts with a smile, "Y'all hear Dom? I hear him, I just don't see him." Dom laughed as Rome smirked, "I see him. That boy cleaned up on us." Everyone laughed together till Benny smiled, "You guys were playing Dom... What about my little sister, huh?"

Everyone turned their heads to the stairs, Reyna walked down them wearing her golden gown causing them all to smile as she blushed lightly from the sudden attention. "My, my, my. This is a whole 'nother level, baby," Rome says with a smile making her roll her eyes. "What? You boys never seen a girl in a dress before?" Reyna asks them with a smirk on her face before she looked straight at Tej, who couldn't focus on anything else but her. "I mean, I have... But you know, I've never seen you looking quite so..." Rome answers before nudging Tej, "Is that boluptuous?" Benny got Rome's attention, "It's voluptuous, with a V." Rome nodded, "Oh, Voluptuous."

Brian lightly nudged Tej who finally broke from his trance before he cleared his throat walking over to her, "You look breathtaking." Reyna smiled as everyone occupied themselves leaving the couple to talk. "Thank you, bubs. You look handsome," Reyna says as she adjusted his blazer slightly. Tej grabbed her hands in his, placing them around his neck before resting one of his hands on her waist and the other cupping her face. "What did I do to deserve you?" Tej says before the two leaned in sharing a passionate kiss. "You ready to do this?" Reyna asks everyone once they've pulled apart before leading the way out for the party.

"No. No. No. Listen man," Rome says as he walks through the party people, "They're telling me they party like this every day. On this level, they party every day." Letty takes a glass of champagne from a hostess as Rome continued what he's best at, rambling. "This is crazy. I might have to move out here. I think I'm gonna start a new culture. It's called Blarab. You know, like, 'Black Arab'." Reyna took a sip of champagne tired of hearing Rome's banter already, "How are we looking, Tej?" The hacker could hear the annoyance in her tone, "Relax, Love. We're almost in position." Reyna took a deep breath before rolling her eyes at Roman.

Tej and Ramsey made their way through the basement as Tej explained the plan, "Okay, so this is how it works. We got to move in sync if we're gonna pull this off. So let's go over it to make sure everyone clearly understands their roles. Roman, that means you." Reyna smirked at the offended expression on Rome's face, "You know what, you're being real unprofessional right now, Tej." Reyna shook her head slightly as she drank more of her champagne. "The God's Eye chip is hidden in the speed drive installed in the Prince's car, which he keeps in a safe room vault," Tej explains as he and Ramsey reach their destination.

Dom looked around the room surveying the area, "I make eight to ten plainclothes security." Dom sat down near Reyna as she looked around analyzing the room around them, "Not to mention the prince. And his personal bodyguards." Reyna let herself relax for a split moment before analyzing the room. "Security cameras are clustered by the north wall. That's where the vault is," Brian says as he turns to face Dom once he had taken a seat between Dom and Reyna. "We got to get in that vault. We got to tap into the security system which can be accessed in the prince's bedroom," Tej explains as Letty finishes her champagne with a plan.

Letty stood up straight, "All right, guys. I'm going in." She made her way towards the Prince's bedroom. "Now, once we're tapped in, Ramsey and I can hack the network and pop the door so you can get in," Tej explains as he and Ramsey set up their equipment for the mission. "Wait, wait, wait. You missed a step," Rome quickly interjected, "What about my steps? What am I supposed to be doing?" Reyna smirked playfully at Rome knowing they limited his chances of messing up the mission. "No, we didn't miss anything. You're special teams. So when we need you, do what you do best," Tej answers him with a smirk.
