"trust no one but your circle."
it didn't sound like a good idea for six young, not-so-experienced high schoolers to take up a dangerous, life-costing and major mission.
Eunbi drove her land rover through the long, winding roads, trying to locate the Mavericks' headquarters among the tall skyscrapers. The six girls at the back recently arrived at the Dubai International Airport, fetched by a Eunbi pulling up by the pick-up point in her shiny black SUV. As she navigated through the main roads, she told them that Mr Lee had a private house in the city; it was where they would be after the heist.
"There's a freaking Rolls-Royce Ghost in the garage. Of course, there isn't enough space for us seven..." Eunbi blabbered continuously, and Isa chuckled. Eunbi's love for different sports cars and SUVs was evident. The SUV halted abruptly, making everyone jerk to the front. "EUNBI!"
"Ah, sorry." Eunbi rubbed the nape of her neck, smiling sheepishly. The girls got off, not without checking their earpieces first, before walking to the fenced building. The rover drove off to its designated hiding place. The headquarters only had three levels— it was a contrast to the skyscrapers that dotted the capital's landscape. The perimeter of the building had barbed wire fences, and CCTVs were installed, facing the entrances of the three-storey headquarters.
"Damn, I don't know whether this would work, but I'm gonna hope that this wouldn't sound the alarm," Yoon said, taking out her gun.

A shrill alarm rang through the grey van from the eleven men's collars.
"Chanhee, check the cameras," Sangyeon said in his drawling voice. With a few swipes, the surveillance cameras came into view. Yoon was shooting at the security system, trying to open the gate.
"They don't understand, huh?" Juyeon sneered.
"The youngest stole your neck collar, so shut your mouth up." Haknyeon retorted. "But since we activated the self-destruction mode, you were lucky. This shows that they couldn't use the collar. Turn back; they're little girls. It's going to be a boring fight." Younghoon nodded, turning the wheel arm over arm, making a U-turn. He shifted the gear stick, pushing the gas pedal to the highest speed he could drive on the busy road and speeded towards the headquarter.
The boys went down from the van and drew out their guns, their senses on high alert. The fences weren't damaged. They entered the fence's gate with Jacob's collar. Sunwoo walked towards the security system.
It wasn't damaged. He walked around the perimeter of the fence, checking if there were signs of someone trespassing on their property.
"Guys, it wasn't damaged." Changmin rushed towards the wall of the building. "The wall's cracked." Sangyeon unlocked the double doors with his collar and thumbprint, motioning them to enter. They pushed open the double doors, walking into the main level. Lots of cutting-edge technology, laptops and monitors were placed on the tables, with a staircase not far from the tables leading up to the next level. They walked up to the second level, still wary. Eric opened the door and entered the room, where weapons were displayed on the walls like guns, riffles, and bombs. No one else was in the building. They thought no one else was in the building.
