We walk in slowly. We make our way next to Maverick who is sitting on a chair. Next to the chair, there was a bed with a girl on it.

She peeks her head out since Maverick was blocking her from our view.

The girl and I made eye contact. She has light brown, slightly wavy hair that's shoulder length. A little bit of the hair is tied up in the back into a mini ponytail. She has bangs that reach slightly below her chin. She also had a bandage on her right cheek.

I then saw that one of her ears was pierced, it was a single black rose. From what I could tell she didn't have any tattoos of roses that Maverick and Enzo both had.

Well of course she doesn't have any tattoos she is underage...Wait.... this is a mafia she prob carries a gun so she can have a tattoo too.

"What? You have been staring you know" the girl jokes.

"Oh! Um sorry" I mumble

Why do I have to observe every new person I meet, it must make people feel so uncomfortable UGH this dumb habit.

"Hehe you're good don't worry. I can see it in your eyes you just observing" she smiles

Was I that obvious

Zoe's P.O.V .❀。• *₊°。 ❀°。

I sit on my bed listening to Maverick "yelling" at me for stabbing a guard. I understand where he is coming from though. I mean the whole point of my job was to distract the guards so the other Acura members can do the cool stuff. I agreed to it because this would be my first time doing a mission and it was the only one he said I was allowed to do. I listen to Maverick when I hear feet shuffling in front of the door.

"Wait...someone is at the door I think someone followed you here," I whisper.

"You guys can come in," Maverick says, turning his head as he rubs his temples with his hand.

"You guys"??

Two girls walk in. They look around 8-11 years old. One of them is around 4'10. She has dirty blond hair which is parted in the middle. She has her long bangs on the side allowing her face to still be shown. Her hair is down, kind of messy, she looked at me with her glaring hazel eyes.

Already studying me I see.

"What? You have been staring you know" I joke

"Oh! Um sorry" she mumbles.

She is regretting looking at me like that. She didn't think she was making it so obvious. I think I made her nervous.

"Hehe you're good don't worry. I can see it in your eyes you are just observing" I say smiling.

She is thinking if she was so obvious. Yes, she was.

I look at the other girl who is also looking at me. But her stare is different, it looks kind and curious. She is shorter than the other girl. She looks around 4'7. She has green eyes and freckles. Her hair is light brown and tied neatly in the back. I look at her. She gives me back a smile.

Luna's P.O.V ✧*̣̩☽⋆゜

"I'm not done talking with you but how about you introduce yourself first" Maverick eyes the girl that he called Zoe in couple minutes ago.

"They might end up being in the mafia you know" Maverick whispers into the girl's ear.

He whispers so loud, that I heard every word.

"The name is Zoe Taylor," she grins. "I'm 13 years old, only a trainee I'm practicing to be a spy just like my dad. My mom is an assassin. Cool right?"

Ymir and I nod

" Umm, what else? Oh, I love potato chips!" she smiles once again. "How about you two?"

"My name is Ymir Leonhart and I'm 9 years old, oh since you said your favorite food I'll say mine too. I like cinnamon rolls." Ymir says happily

"My name is Luna Ash and I'm 10 years old," I say with a straight face not that I'm unhappy or anything.

"Oh nice, what's your parents' Acura status or job" Zoe questions

"My parents are dead" I blurt out with a stone face expression.

Why did I say that? I wasn't thinking. They are gonna pity me now.

Ymir's eyes widen as she turns her face towards me.

"Sorry I didn't mean to budge like that, it's just people in the mafia get to know each other by like their parental status..... also I assumed from what Maverick just told me that you were born into the mafia and were deciding if you wanted to work for it," she says while rubbing her neck.

It went quiet

It's awkward. I have no clue what she is talking about.

"How about we continue this discussion later, right now I have to deal with you Zoe Taylor" Maverick breaks the silence by trying to change the subject.

"I know it makes me look like the bad guy but I swear it was the guard's fault" Zoe tries to plead.

I wonder what exactly happened, I just know a little bit of the whole situation.

"Zoe, you have been begging me for weeks to be on the battlefield or to be on a mission. When your parents finally allowed you, I did too. I gave you a job to stall two guards so our men can do a simple mission. It was going to be a very easy mission probably without even bloodshed BUT YOU WENT AHEAD AND STABBED ONE OF THEM. Then hell broke loose. Instead of secretly breaking in we ended up killing seven guards and 2 of our people ended up injured" Maverick softly yells.

Even though he is angry he isn't yelling loudly because we are still in a hospital. How is he so annoying but so thoughtful sometimes.

"But Maverick I didn't have a choice," Zoe says while staring into Maverick's eyes.

"Why? Why did you stab him?" Maverick says as he breathes out heavily.

"Because...you didn't give me a gun so I had to use my knife...if I had a gun I would've shot him and not stabbed him," Zoe says as a small grin appears on her face.

Maverick just stared at Zoe with utter disappointment, but we all know he wants to laugh.

Ymir looks at me as she tries to hold her laugh in with all her might.

Don't laugh. Don't laugh. Ymir's face makes me want to laugh even more. She is biting her bottom lip as her cheeks turn red.

"OKAY SORRY THAT WASN'T FUNNY.... I do have a legitimate reason though" Zoe speaks, getting serious.

"Then tell me. Because of this, you ended up with a broken arm and a cut on your cheek....thank god it's not something worse" Maverick mutters.

"Fine I'll tell you" Zoe begins.
