You, Five, Diego and Lila was bending down with your backs up against a small brick wall.

Diego was in a black suit with a brown and black tie while Lila was in a light blue dress and Five was still in his umbrella uniform.

Diego glanced over the wall quickly, seeing that no one was looking their direction.

He then put his hands on the wall and climbed over it before he crouched down next to a parked car. Lila climbed over the wall quickly before doing the same.

Five and you glanced to each other before nodding and you jumped over.

The four of you was all hiding behind the parked car, bending down as you looked at the building where the Gala was being held.

"So, what's the plan?" Lila asked "We infiltrate, we identify, we extract. Double time" Diego said looking at you three before he looked back at the building.

Lila turned to Five "What the hell is he talking about?" she asked "Find the old man and get out fast" Five answered and Diego turned to look at Five "That's what I said" he said before he turned back "On me" he said before running towards another car while you followed him.

Lila looked back at Five "After you" she said but he just clenched his jaw and narrowed his eyes at her.

"What, I can't be polite?" she asked "Cut the crap. All right? My dimwitted brother might buy your bullshit, but I don't trust you for a second and I don't know what you are up to, but you stay away from Y/n. You understand. Touch her and I will kill you" he threated "O ye of little faith" Lila said "Stick it up your ass" Five said, looking at her while he smiled fakely.

Lila smiled before she walked after Diego and you with Five right behind her.

Slow mariachi music was playing as Diego and you enter the building with Five and Lila behind you as overlapping chatter was heard.

Five quickly grabbed a glass of champagne from a caterer and took a sip as he looked around.

Five grabbed another glass of champagne before he turned around to give it to you "No thanks" you said and he nodded before he put the glass away.

"I don't see Dad anywhere" Diego said as he turned to Five "Just keep an eye out for the Majestic Twelve. Me and Y/n got upstairs" Five said before he looked at Diego "Diego, try not to do anything too stupid" he said and Lila chuckled softly.

Five then turned to you and put his arm out and you rolled your eyes as you put your arm through his and he then lead you up the stairs.

"Can I ask you something?" Five suddenly asked when you reach the top of the steps.
