The Four Billionaires [on hold]

Chapter 2: Sneaking Around

This might seem quite confusing, but it is supposed to be like this. Though I'm sure most of you will get it.

P.S I changed the title from Mission Mr. Bastard to 'Sneaking Around'. Plus I edited this.

Chapter 2: Sneaking Around

Damien's POV

I flashed another smile at the man in front of me. If I had my way I would have punched him the moment he 'discreetly' tried to suggest doing business together but for appearance sake, I had to look polite.

And the chirping lady at my arm who was standing closer than need be and smiling wider at the cameras than she normally does- though I'm not sure how her natural smile looks or how she looks without such excessive make up- was getting on my nerves. Why couldn't some women understand makeup doesn't make them beautiful!

Soon, Mr. Morency took his leave and I walked into the ballroom searching for the door, I knew was somewhere near the bar. Spotting it I turned towards my escort, "Would you care for another drink?"

"Sure," She beamed and leaned closer, "Oh! Damien I don't get why they call you a playboy, you are such a gentleman."

Tomorrow I don't think you'll be saying that darling. I smirked,"Good to know you think so."

"Is that...wait! I think I just saw Susan I'll go and meet her." She said looking towards a group of girls talking and laughing together.

Perfect! I smiled, "Sure, here give me your glass." That talk will at least last for 25-30 minutes.

She looked at me, giving her flirty smile. "Don't miss me too much while I'm gone, honey."

I tried not to cringe too much at the endearment, "I'll try my best."

As Megan Jenning trotted towards her friend, I walked towards the bar and placed the glass on the bar slab, signalling to the bartender I asked for my drink and adjusted my watch. Looking discreetly at the corners of the ceilings I sighed. Come on, just a few more seconds. Four. Three. Two. Perfect.

I pressed the button at the edge of my watch and acting casually, I scanned the glass. I have to say, this was by far the best device Reece had created, his little watch was full of wonders. Readjusting it, I looked back up again, the cameras were still turned towards the other sides. Good.

Drinking, I sneaked a glance at the gate which was conveniently made to look like a mirror, amateurs.

"I think next time, you should do the fieldwork," I whispered.

"Yeah, right," Reece snorted into the ear piece. "Like you could stay away from the girls, huh. Don't forget your nightly pleasures Cross." I could picture him wiggling his eyebrows.

"Oh don't sound jealous R, you'll find a pretty blind one soon."

"Blind! My ass!" He shouted, bewildered.

I chuckled.

Looking upwards, I noticed the cameras, creating just the blind spot I needed.

"Are the loops done?" I asked, cutting short our teasing.

"Done, you have fifteen minutes before they notice anything's wrong with the system." He warned, getting serious.

"Got it." And with that I sneaked into the gate, making sure no one saw me. Behind the gate was an empty corridor leading straight to Mr. Jenning's office.

This man wasn't the one calling the shots but can be a useful lead, well as per the information I gathered from Mr. Roger's mansion in London and Mr. Hayashi in Japan. Seriously, this case was spread all around the globe. I wouldn't be surprised if the next information leads me to a tent in Antarctica.

With feather-like steps I crossed the corridor and reached a metallic gate, this guy treated his office like a vault, I mean who would have such a thick gate with a password panel and a fingerprint scanner as an office door. Just that round wheel-type thing which opens the vault was missing.

I wish it was there, I like breaking into vaults, it's been years since I have cracked one.

Chuckling at my memories I turned my watch towards the fingerprint scanner and pressed the button at the side of my watch. And used the reward I got for escorting Megan tonight, her finger prints.

Within a moment a green light appeared signalling success. Now the next step, password.

I opened my phone and placed it an inch above the panel and smiled when the correct password started appearing one by one. Now this invention was my baby.

The gate opened giving rise to his office. There was no windows or any other gate except this.

A desk with a computer, few chairs and a sofa occupied the room. How can someone work in here.

Rushing over to his computer, I quickly wore my gloves, and logged in. The machine demanded a password and I connected my phone to the laptop, a proud smile graced my lips as I logged in. Those two months working on this password-cracking program was definitely worth it!

As the main window appeared I cursed. That moron had numbered his files! Why can't he be as dumb as the one before and label the files properly! I remember last year when I was scooping through someone's computer, the person actually named the file. "Top Secret, Don't Look". Seriously that just makes people more curious about it!

I clicked on a few files skimming through them, nothing important. Clicked more here and there, randomly guessing which number must be important for the guy. This is nuts!

Then suddenly an idea clicked.

I can duplicate the data and place a bug in it. That would help keep at eye on this computer. Why didn't I think of this before? I quickly took out my pen drive and plugged it in. Time for Cross' Magic!

"Damien what's taking so long?" Reece shouted from the earpiece, making me curse as I typed furiously on the computer.

"Dammit I can hear you! No need to burst my eardrums!" I whispered angrily.

"Dude you have just 5 mins! Get your ass out of there!" He shouted once again.

"I'm almost done." I grumbled as I pressed the enter key. "Now I just have to wait till it downloads."

"Downloads? What are you doing out there?" He said panicked.

"Nothing, just bugging it." I grinned.

"You always have to do something different" He replied, irritated. "Well, Bug. It. Fast." He commanded.

"I don't get it, your in another continent and you still get to boss me around. It sounds unfair you know." I grinned as I took out my pendrive.

"I have been the boss from the start Cross, it just now dawned on you." I could literally picture him smirking, "Now shut up and move your butt."

"Yes, sir." I rolled my eyes.

Just as I closed the computer and proceeded towards the exit, something caught my attention.

A black board, standing parallel to the wall. As I looked around it I saw a map on the other side. Turning it, I leaned closer and stopped.

It was a world map, with places marked on it in red. This was not good.

"Reece." I called as I clicked pictures of the board.

"Yeah."

"It seems like we'll be visiting our hideout sooner this year." I stated.
