I had a vivid dream last night. I was standing in front of a burning mansion doing nothing. I was just staring at the mansion going up in flames. Until I saw a piece of paper beside me which was half burnt. I looked at it. The case of Alberto Nelson.

"So." Niall said.
Everyone was getting ready for the ball. Niall had called me to his office once him and I were both ready. He never removed the stupid necklace from around my neck.
"What has your team planned so far?" he asked.

Find one weakness. One secret to blackmail him.

"So far nothing." I responded.
He raised his eyebrow at me.
"Come on now. We don't want burry your friend alive now, do we?" he asked smirking.
I swallowed down my fear.
"The plan was that me and Tom come and gather information and then arrest you all." I said.

What I didn't say is that there was an exact date settled by the lieutenant that we bring them all down. He hummed staring at the ceiling cracking his knuckles.

"And what have you guys told your boss so far?" he asked.
"Nothing much yet. Just the arrangement of your lives."
"That's all?" he asked.
"Yes."
"Hundred percent?" he asked.
"Hundred percent. We went to Ireland I didn't have time to do much." I spat glaring at him.

"Ah yes. You didn't have time to do much since all you were doing was coming on my face." He said.

I trembled in anger fisting my hands. He smirked at my reaction.
"That's all we've done so far." I said through gritted teeth.
He nodded glaring back at me.
"Can I come in?" Hazel knocked.
It took less than a second for his face to softened once he heard his sister's voice.

"Yeah." He said.
"I came here to say we're all ready and waiting for you." She said.
"We'll be out in a second." He said.
She nodded and left the room. Niall stood up and walked toward me offering his hand.
"Let's go to the ball my dear girlfriend." He said.

I hated it. I hated how these mocking nicknames felt like a dagger was being stabbed right through my chest.
I held his hand and stood up.

One weakness. One secret to blackmail him.

The ballroom was all packed. The guys were roaming around while me and the girls were all sitting behind a table. I took a sip from my margarita.

"What are you wearing tomorrow night?" Bella asked.
"Probably my red dress." Scarlett replied.
"I'm sorry ... there's another event tomorrow night?" I asked.
"Well yes. The mission." Scarlett replied as if it was obvious.
"The mission?" I asked confused.
"Nobody told you?" Bella asked.
I shook my head negatively.

"It's okay they didn't involve us either." Chloe said rolling her eyes.
"Well I'm glad I'm not involved." Hazel said shrugging.

Hazel has always been an angel. She was always a good person and I never understood how has she been raised in such family. Unlike Chloe who was always looking for some sort of action. Even though she was only fourteen.

"Well maybe Niall forgot to tell you." Scarlett said.
"Basically the plan is we go to the Smiths party as a distraction. The guys distract the girls by charming them and girls seduce the guys. Except Niall who has to pull the move." Bella explained.
"And that would be?" I asked trying to act normal while my heart was racing.

"Kidnapping Smiths' daughter. What was her name again? Oh yes Mia."

"He wants to kidnap her? How old is she?"
"Ten. He will kidnap her and wait for Elijah to give him the signal."
"The signal for?"
"If Smith paid back what he stole from us, then Niall leaves Mia wherever he took her. But he refused to pay us back then Mia's dead." Scarlett shrugged as if it was no big deal.
