Elena strolled into the kitchen while I made breakfast and sat down on one of the bar stools. I drove us to my house after we left the club yesterday and she passed out as soon as her head hit the pillow. I stayed up for a while and sent Silas confirmation on my dead target. I was only able to sleep for a couple of hours so I decided to make breakfast for Elena, my mom and I.

"Why are you making such a lot of noise?" Elena asked with her head on the table now.

"Coffee?" I asked ignoring her question.

"Yes please, how are you not hung over?"

"I only drank two shots and you seem to have forgotten what a lightweight you are. And besides I was your designated driver." I replied handing over her coffee a plate of bacon, toast and eggs. She gulped the coffee and ate as though she hadn't had food for days.

My mom walked in just as I sat down next to Elena after dishing up her plate and mine.

"Oh hi girls, I didn't hear you two come in last night. How was your night?" she asked smiling at us. Elena carried on eating and my mom looked at her knowingly, Elena only ate a lot when she was hung over but otherwise she always watched her figure.

"It was great, nothing eventful happened. I put your plate in the microwave and I just made coffee." I replied.Right after that my phone range and I answered it without checking who it was.

Hello?

Ivy, it's Tony. I just got a tip that one of our warehouses will be attacked and robbed of shipment. What should we do?

Get as much shipment out of the warehouse as you can, transfer it to the main one. I'm on my way.

By the end of that phone call all Elena and my mom could do was stare at me waiting for some sort of explanation as to why I had to leave.

"I'll be back later." I said and went to my room to change. I changed into black leather pants, and a black leather jacket and I paired it with a black cropped tank top and some boots. After getting dressed I rushed out the door and drove off in my motorbike to the warehouse. I arrived within five minutes and parked behind it just to be careful. Tony met up with me at the entrance and filled me in.

"Everyone get your guns and ammo ready. Shut off the lights and hid the rest of the merchandise that you couldn't get out in the safe, Tony and Landon come with me. Take your positions and from there you know what to do. I also want three snipers on the roof.Shot to kill, you better not miss!" I shouted orders and everyone dispersed to do as they were told.

In less than five minutes the main door was blown open with explosives and we took cover so that we could shoot whoever entered. Two guys entered with Assault rifles but were shot in the head by our snipers. As soon as their bodies hit the ground, multiple tear gas grenades where thrown into the warehouse. The air fogged up and I could hear a lot of the men coughing.

"Grab the masks and if there aren't enough wet some cloths and wear them around your face!" I said, Tony handed me a mask and we started shooting as many of the intruders who entered wearing masks of their own. A bullet hit my arm and I turned to the culprit and sent a bullet to the side of his head. I could see many of our people struggling to breath and see because there weren't enough masks so I came to a conclusion that we would not win.

"Fall back!" I shouted and they all ran to the secret exit we had for cases like this. Tony and Landon didn't move an inch as we continued shooting the intruders.

"Let's go cover them." I said and we made our way towards the exit and shot all of the intruders that were aiming to kill our people. When all of them got out safely we made our way out last. Tony suddenly groaned out and I noticed that he had been shot in the abdomen and blood had been seeping out. I sealed the door so that they wouldn't be able to follow us and helped Landon balance Tony on my shoulder. The emergency exit was a tunnel underground which led to the forest making it impossible to see us exit.

"Get the escape cars and leave, make sure you are not followed back to the base and take the wounded to our medical center." I gave them orders and many of them limped to the cars and some relied on others to navigate them because they could not see properly. Landon and I placed Tony in the back seat, Landon sat with him and applied pressure to his wound and I slid into the driver's seat and drove as fast I as possible to our base.

Upon arrival extra guards were set around the perimeter and the whole base was under lock down. As I was about to enter through the doorway I felt light headed and held on to the wall beside me. The place was very busy as our medical team rushed to help the wounded so I leaned back trying to gather myself.

"Ivy you need to get your arm checked out." Landon said while dragging me to the nurse in the corner of the room. I looked down and remembered that I was shot. I didn't feel the pain because I had a high pain tolerance because of my dad. I didn't argue with Landon and allowed the nurse to take the bullet out without struggling and stitch it back up. They both gave me a surprised look because I didn't flinch an inch but I paid no mind to them, pulled out my phone and called Silas.

We were attacked but escaped just in time before many of us died. The identity of our attackers are unknown but we have the tech team looking into the warehouse cameras for information.

I'm glad you are okay. I'll get on the first plane back.

With that I cut the call and went to check on the tech team for any updates.

"We retrieved the camera footage in the warehouse but we didn't find much. They took off their face masks in the safe while they took some of the left over merchandise but face recognition couldn't identify them." One of the tech geeks replied.

"That's not possible." I said

"They did leave a symbol spray painted on the ground though. Whoever they are, knew that we wouldn't be able to trace them, the fuckers didn't even disable the cameras or use a signal jammer. They disappeared without a trace after they blew the safe, stole the merchandise and left ." he said. He showed me the symbol and my blood ran cold. I saw it as clear as day on the screen.

"Send people to protect my mom and Elena, now!Make sure they are discreet I don't want them to panic! "I shouted out with anger coursing through my veins .
