The curtain flew wide open.

Neo, who was bored out of his mind; just aimlessly throwing darts at the target, glanced that way with one eye before he got back to throw another dart with no intention to even hit the target. But then he took a second glance.

"What is a silver blood boy doing here?" Neo asked as he was approaching the visitor.

"Is Earth here?"

"Now, why would I tell you that?"

"If you won't tell me, I'm gonna find him myself." The man bumped the shoulder with Neo and walked further to the club.

"Earth?" He shouted at the whole club, immediately gaining attention from everyone there. That wasn't good for his own mission but he will deal with it later. "Earth!"

Earth was in the middle of explaining to Mix the difference between a spy and a secret agent when he heard the voice of his friend, which in the past two years he heard only through a phone.

But that can't be. He can't just come here, while he is infiltrated in Silver Blood, Earth thought, but still slowly held his head up to look around.

Turned out his friend can come here.

"Talay, what? What are you doing here?" Earth quickly walked to him.

"Why the fuck aren't you picking up your phone?" Talay was visibly tense. Annoyed even.

"What's wrong?" Mix asked.

Talay looked at Earth, "can we talk somewhere private?" He could feel the eyes of everyone in the club throwing daggers at him. He is a silver blood boy, after all.

"Now you care about privacy?" Earth shook his head and motioned for Talay to walk upstairs.

Upstairs, Talay turned towards Earth, "we have a problem." He was about to continue, but Mix entered the room too.

"It's okay, you can talk; I told them I'm an agent," Earth said, waiting for Talay to tell him what is such a big deal.

"You did?" Talay's shoulders visibly relaxed. "Fine, that makes everything easier. Kit is planning to set your house on fire, tonight around 10 PM."

Earth just laughed, "what's with Kit and fire?" He turned towards Mix, "is he an arsonist or something?"

Mix was looking at Earth, his heart clenched every time Earth let out another bit of his painful laugh.

Kit is starting to attack people around Mix; people Mix cares about. He can't let this go on for long. He is aware of a fact that Kit is doing this precisely because of Earth, but he still doesn't get why? Earth doesn't even care about Silver Blood. All he wants is to catch Jack.
