NOVA

Chapter 6

"Luke and Nova go to Ozul for your plans." "Yes boss." Lucas and I said in unison then went to Oliver. If you are thinking who Ozul and Luke are, well they are Oliver and Lucas's Mission names.

We went to Oliver. He was in the conference room. "So you are going." he said. "What do you mean we are going?" I asked. "Well I knew 2 of the 3 would go but I didn't know which 2 would go." he shrugged. "Anyways let's start." he said, switching off the lights and starting the presenter.

--- After 1 Hour ---

We have gone into every detail of the plan and made backups as well. I had written notes on the whole plan since I knew Lucas would want it but was too lazy to actually do this. I got to know a lot about the twins. They are polar opposites of each other.

Scarlet is a cold blooded killer. She kills and tortures mercilessly and somehow gets her way through everything with people. Stuart on the other hand was soft on the inside which came out a lot. He hated the mafia but had no choice other than to serve it. He was innocent and easily talked into things.

--- Next Day ---

Lily bought me a dress. Red colour cocktail dress which was off shoulder and reached mid thigh. It was beautiful and I needed to put the plan into action. Tonight we were meeting the twins. It's their birthday. They are going out with their friends to a resort they booked for the night. Me and Lucas are going to meet them at the resort by 'accidently' bumping into them.

--- Skip to night ---

I am right now in the car with Oliver and Lucas and am headed to the resort. The whole day today was spent on going into minute details of the plan. Me and Lucas pacing around and Xavier trying to calm us down by which we could focus but we couldn't. We are going to the enemy and basically saying "hello there enemy mafia, add us to your gang so we can spy on you or just spill the beans of what you are planning to do." It Isn't Easy!

Why Do the movies make it look so easy? It's just the spy goes to the enemy. Enemy gives one look, no scratch that, a glance and trusts them enough to tell the entire plan. Like the spy only has to blink and everything is out.

"We have reached. Now remember don't tell them your identity choose a different name. Your room is next to Stuart's because he will be an easy target. The room is booked by the name of Rose." Ozul said.

We nodded and left the car. "Lets meet them after they are beat up. The more exhausted and sleepy the person is the more it would be easier to get them to speak up." I said and Lucas gave a nod.

We kept walking to the receptionist when suddenly I bumped into someone. "Oh I'm so sorry I should have seen where I was going." the guy said. "Oh no, it's okay. It's perfectly fine.'' I nodded and went ahead. I didn't get to see his face though. Lucas was already at the table and was looking at me with an amused face. "What!?" "The plan was to meet later. Not the moment we stepped in here."

Realisation hit me. "Did I..... Did I just bump into... Stuart?" "You bet you did." Oh shit!

We checked into the room. It was amazing. No wonder this place is expensive. Our room was on the first floor and the view was beautiful.

I was looking at the twins' pictures and I felt like I knew them. I have seen them somewhere. I just can't put my finger on when and how.

We talked about the plan for an hour and then decided it was to be put to action. We reached the venue of the party and parted our ways. I was casually looking around when I saw someone approaching me.

"Well you were definitely not on my guest list and my sister's friends aren't supposed to come here. So what are you doing here?" Stuart asked. I let out a small chuckle "How about I never really planned on coming here. I was just looking around this place and then the party noise came so my feet took me here. After all, who doesn't like a party?"

"You sure like parties considering you crashed into someone's birthday party and got caught. Not the best way now is it?" "Well.. now that I have got caught I think I should go back to my room and have a very boring experience or the host could formally invite me in and we can make great friends?" I said with a smirk.

"Oh really? Then where is the birthday boy's gift? I am Stuart by the way. It's my 18th birthday. I have a twin who is having her party at the other side of the resort." he said, extending his arm for a handshake. Of course I know that. " Hey Stuart Little, I am Rose. I have just turned 17." I said , shaking his hand. He seemed taken aback at the name 'Stuart Little' as though reliving some sad memories.

--- After Half Hour ---

He has been opening alot now. I was just all along smiling and nodding and sometimes replying in short sentences. I, for some unknown reason, knew all the things he told me. Like his fav colour is white. I knew it before he said that. His twin's fav colour is red. I even knew that. I knew him from in and out by now.

"Can I tell you something Rose?"

"Of course you can because who knows we may never meet again?" I said , raising one eyebrow. He just chuckled and shook his head.

"Well I had a best friend, we were very close. We were inseparable. Scar didn't like her much but she never paid much attention to her. She was a lot like you. Then for her 13th birthday her parents took her for a trip but on returning her plane crashed and her parents died. I have been searching for her since then. I have been for 5 years now. I don't even know if Hillie is even alive now." he had a single tear running down his face.

Wait a minute!! This is so much like my story. "What was her real name? She seems like a great person. You liked her very much didn't you?"

"Cassandra Hill, I used to call her Hillie. I loved her nickname that only I could use. And yes I love her. I can't bear her loss. That's what turned me into the gang that my dad built. Scar was his successor since always. I wasn't really interested in the gang. I just wanted a happy life away from all the bloodshed and everything. Then she left and never came back. So I decided to join the gang only to be able to use the power to find Hillie. I couldn't find her. Not yet and now people are asking me to give up on her. But how can I? She was the only one who wasn't scared of me or saw me differently knowing that my dad led a gang."

Yup that's me he is talking about. Wait a fiddlestick minute! He is still searching for me? He never left my side??

Flashback

"Hillie!! Stop running! I'm tired now. I promise I won't eat that cookie." "I don't trust you Little. I know this is your plan, but since you really are tired you get rest i'll eat this cookie." "No!"

He started chasing me again and finally tackled me. We lay there laughing and giggling like idiots. Finally we shared the cookie only because both of our puppy faces were good enough to make the other feel bad for eating the whole cookie.

"Promise me you will always be my bff?" he said, holding his pinky out.

"What made you think I will not leave? You are so annoying!" "HEY!!" He slapped my arm playfully. "I promise." I said curling my pinky around his.

-----

"I uh I have to go.. Hope to see you again soon."

"Rose! Wait since we may meet for the last time can I get something off my chest." he was so vulnerable right now. I felt so bad for him. I just wanted to hug him, but I had to remember the task on hand. "Sure."

"Day after tomorrow. We attack."
