While Parker questioned everything that was going on, Kornelia went out to the city with Jaeden, to help him with deliveries. You'd be surprised at the amount of people, that try to steal from him, they're dead now, so it's didn't really matter anyway.

It usually went this way; they meet up with Jaeden, while Kornelia was hidden, they'd try to take the package without paying and then octavia would shoot them and watch them bleed out, while Jaeden took the money out of their wallets.

It was a fun night. They were blasting music, while driving, killing off targets and thieves and bonding, just like the old days.

Naomi went out on a shopping spree with Madison, well, I don't know if you could call it a shopping spree, since they weren't spending any money, anyway. They were competing to see could shoplift the most expensive things, as for now they had played five rounds, in five different stores.

Naomi won the first and second round, Madison won the third, Naomi won the fourth and Madison won the fifth. "Okay, last one." Naomi said, before they both entered a clearly expensive store. "See you in five minutes." Madison said with a wink, to which Naomi replied with a smirk.

Naomi immediately went to the perfume section, because the store mostly sold that. They were easy to steal and were mostly expensive. While Madison went to the jewelry section, since it was all made out of diamonds, so they were pricey.

One specific perfume caught Naomi's eye. It was in a circular container and it was pink, with a diamond on top. It was breath taking, she wanted it so bad, but there was someone behind the counter, where it was. "Hi, may I help you?" The lady behind the counter politely asked. "Oh, yes, can I see some of those perfumes?" Naomi asked, sounding as innocent as possible. "Sure, just tell me witch ones you would like to try." The lady replied. "Okay. The pink one, the green one, the one with the white container and the heart shaped one." The girl said. "Okay, give me a second." The lady said, while she pulled out each perfume bottle. Naomi checked around for security cameras, but only found one that wasn't pointing her direction.

Rookie mistake. She thought to herself.

The lady pulled out all the perfumes Naomi asked for and she tried each one. After trying all of them, she kept asking the lady to see more perfumes, until there were enough bottles on the counter, to distract the lady from her actual target. There were at least ten different perfumes on the counter in total and the lady was exhausted, from trying to please Naomi. She asked for one more perfume on the wall behind the lady and when she turned around to get it, Naomi quickly put the perfume in her bag.

She ended up telling the lady, she didn't want any of those and safety walked away to where she was going to meet Madison.

Madison was still in the jewelry section, looking at necklaces, earrings and rings. One of the rings really caught her attention, when she saw the price.

This one's mine.

She pretended to be looking at it and slowly took it out of its box, it was in. "Hi, can I help you with something?" A worker asked. "No, thank you, I'm fine." She said quickly, stopping what she was doing. Too bad for Madison, the worker noticed what she was trying to do. "Miss, I am going to have to ask you to come with me."

They took Madison to the police department, for shoplifting. Naomi was trying to defend her, while the cops toothier there, but was unable to do anything. She called the rest of the group in distress and they were all on their way.

"Fuck." Kornelia loudly said, while Jaeden was driving. "What happened?" He asked, surprised by her outburst. "We're going to have to take a little detour."

"Yo, Jace." Parker said, to get Jonathan's attention, who were at his house hanging out. "What's up?" The blond replied. "We have to go to the police department right now, let's go." Parker said, quickly grabbing his shoes and putting them on. "Why, what happened?" Jonathan asked, confused.

"Madi got arrested."

Jaeden and Kornelia were the first to arrive and saw Naomi stuck in her head, now knowing what to do. "It's going to be okay, you know." Jaeden said, comforting Naomi. "I know, but still." She replied, looking down. Parker and Jonathan walked in, almost sprinting. "Where the hell is she?" Jonathan asked, angry. "In there. They're interrogating her." Kornelia cleared up. "What are we going to do?" Parker asked.

"What we always do, persuade our way out."

With the help of Parker, Kornelia and Naomi's ability to lie, Jaeden's bold statements and Jonathan's money, they were able to release Madison.

"Why the fuck would you guys do that in the first place?" Jonathan asked, referring to the game the girls were playing, before Madison got arrested.

"Okay, we're sorry. We were just trying to have some fun." Madison explained. "It isn't fun, when you risk going to jail so publicly." Jonathan said. Both girls were looking at Kornelia, waiting for her to defend them. "I'm sorry, but I agree with Jace on this." Kornelia added. "Me too." Parker said. "We're very close to mission day and we don't want to risk anything." Parker continued, receiving glares from both girls.

Naomi was about to start arguing with Parker, but was interrupted...

RING RING

Kornelia's phone rang. "Private ID." She read out loud. "Who do you think it is?" Jaeden asked, curious. "I have no idea." She said. She accepted the call, reckless I know, but she still did. The other watched as she walked away from them, for some privacy. They stared at her waiting for her to end the call. None of them had any idea of who it could be and it was taking a long time, longer than it would be if it was just a wrong number.

Kornelia finally ended the call. "Hey guys, we need to go again." She said, with concern appearing in her voice and face. "What's going on?" Parker asked.

"They have Wilder."
