I hate dressing for missions. Putting on a pretty dress just to ruin it. My job tonight is to seduce the target, get him in a room alone, and then Jason will take on the rest. Since talking to zayn about the files, I've kept my distance from Jason and he hasn't even questioned it. I'm not sure how tonight will go due to our chemistry being off.
I get the zipper up a quarter of the way and struggling in the mirror to fully zip it. Fuck it. I walk out of the room and make my way to the limo car.
"You ready?" Theo asks me in the rear view mirror. I nod and we take off. I turn around to see if the boys were following in the van and sure enough they were in route.
I'm trying to clear my mind about Jason, and focus. We pull up to the plaza hotel. There are multiple people walking the steps into the hotel. It looks like a packed event, so clean and quick is the way this is going to have to go. In and out, we were never here.
Theo opens my door for me and extends his arm out for me to grab onto for support. I wink to him and make my way up the steps alone.
"In route" I say so the boys could hear me in the ear piece.
"Spotted" lance says. I look to the left and see the van parked.
I make my way to the top of the steps and stare at the decor of the plaza. I watch the people socialize and drink champagne. Servers walking around with platters of champagne and scallops. I make my way through the crowd trying to scan for the target.
Dr.Howard used to be a friend to venom. He would heal our organization members and keep it very lowkey. One day he grew a conscience and decided that he wanted no part of venom. So of course hades isn't happy about it. That's when he calls in the elite and our job is to drug him and bring him to hades. Whatever happens to him then isn't our concern. But. I have strict orders to NOT kill him. What a bummer.
I get to the bar and order a vodka lemonade.
"Should she be drinking on a mission?" Theo asks.
"That's a good point, she is a psycho killer after all" lance responds.
The bartender places the drink on a napkin and I grab it happily. I needed this, I won't lie I haven't been this on edge since going into foster care. I bring the cup up to my lips to hide them from being seen.
"Fuck off" I respond and then take a sip.
I feel a hand on my waist and then my zipper being pulled up. I flinch and try to fight back all my instincts to smash this glass into their head. I turn around to see a man that I've never met before. His hair curly but he had it slicked back for the event. I take a moment to stare into his eyes and they are captivating. Green as emerald and they match perfectly with my dress.
"Who's that?" I hear lance say. That's good, that means he has eyes in this lobby. He's already gotten into their camera system.
"I don't..know" Jason responds.
"My apologies, I just thought you might of needed assistance with your dress." The man says and takes the bar stool next to me.
"Thank you for your service." I take a sip of my drink and go back to scanning the room. He begging to scan the room as well.
"You looking for someone?" He asks me. The bartender brings his drink to him and I roll my eyes and take a seat. Can't this guy just fuck off and let me do my job.
"Yeah, my husband" I respond to try and make is seem normal. I throw my drink back and put the empty glass on the table.
"Where is your ring?" He asks looking at my ring finger. I begin to curse at myself after being caught in a lie. Think. Think. Think.
