Chapter 8

*2 years later, back to the Sophia job.

" Ready" Gabby's voice asked, coming into Nicole's ear. " Yes" Nicole said
" Shay and Shayla, you guys are up." Gabby continued, the twins adjusted their ear pieces and off they were. Shay and Shayla walked by the guards of the Vangh Cooperation's building confident in their high heels.
" it's easer than I thought to walk in these. " Shayla said
" Stay in character Shayla. " Shay said
" Fall already Shayla!!" Nicole's voice was heard throughout everyone's ear piece
Shayla twisted her ankle, sending her pummelling to kiss the floor.
Gabie scanned the scene playing before her, Shayla was on the floor, her blonde hair covering her face and Shay looking frantic repeating "Someone, help!"
Patrick shifted as he stood next to his brother at the side of the building.
" She's okay Patrick. " Gabie said noticing his discomfort
Shay turned to the guards and said "Sirs, please help my sister!"
The men looked to one another before they went to help. " I'm up. " Nicole said
The guards looked up at Nicole, one of them speaking up " you can't go in there miss.." but before he could finish, she flashed an ID at him. The guard let her in, not looking closely at the ID because he was distracted by the twins constant screaming.
" I'm in, Tim you're up. " Nicole said once she was in.
" Okay, see the door on the right?" Tim asked
" Yeah" Nicole said
" You remember that small device I gave you?" Tim asked again
" yeah, it's here." Nicole said
" put it on the digital lock of that door." Tim said and Nicole did as she was told. " where does this door lead to, Tim?" Nicole asked once the task completed
" It's the VIP entrance to the building." Tim answered
" That'd explain the fancy looking lock." Nicole said and Tim agreed before saying " Okay, I'm in the system."
" My stage is ready..." Nicole said as she looked around the main floor, there were guards and receptionists with computers. You'd have to get passed them to get to the other side of the room, where the elevators stood. If you weren't an employee to which they'd recognize by thumbprint or a reporter with an appointment, you'd have a really hard time getting in. Nicole spotted a young guard of about 20 years old, behind a computer. She walked towards him, looking beautiful and confident in her pumps, sashaying her hips.
" 'Scuse me, " she said to the young man in a British accent, he looked up swallowing hard at the sight of Nicole before saying " yes ma'am,"
Nicole laughed and said " This is the 3rd time this has happened to me, I wonder why.." She batted he eyelashes and the man laughed politely before saying " May I help you?"
" Yes, you see I lost my journalist ID in order to pass, I came from London, England and the last time my mother and I came, they put me in the system. So I should be there, I have to pass Sir. Nicole said
" What's your name miss?" The young guard asked
" Julie. Julie Stirling, sir. " Nicole answered
" Oh, please, call me Daniel miss Stirling. " the young man said blushing as he typed away on his computer. " Well Daniel, then you may call me Julie. " Nicole said smiling and Daniel smiled back before asking " Are you sure you're here? " once he presumably couldn't find Julie in the system. " I am sure. " Nicole said concerned before adding " I'm truly sorry Daniel, of course it's my fault, the system has no mistakes."
" Don't worry Julie, it's not your fault. The system is man made and humans aren't perfect. Except for you, you're the closest thing to perfect.." Daniel said, whispering the last part. " Sorry.." Tim said in Nicole's ear.
Finally, Nicole's face popped up on Daniel's computer under the name of Julie Stirling. " There you are, Julie. " Daniel said
" Thank you Daniel, perhaps we can meet again, not in this building, of course..." Nicole said flirtatiously.
Daniel blushed and stared into "Julie's" eyes, they held each others gazes until Tim coughed in Nicole's ear, snapping her out of it. " Well, I'll have to get going-" but something cut her off, suddenly Nicole started into a coughing fit, her hands on her stomach. " Julie are you alright? " Daniel said leaning over the counter and the rest of the people in the room turned to look over at Nicole.
She started coughing up blood before passing out on the floor, everyone in the room rushed to her side. Tim swallowed hard, the sound being heard throughout everyone's ear pieces.
