A week has passed and Selina has not yet been deployed on any missions. Max said that they were recently on a mission where they had to observe how the drug dealer gave the goods to his customers. However, they didn't find out anything else that would be useful to them. 

"When do you think I'll be deployed on a mission?" She asked him as they trained. "I can't judge the boss, but you'll definitely be able to take part in missions soon. Maybe the boss is waiting for a right mission for you." Max suspected and attacked her. Although she was very skeptical about the mafia at the beginning, Max's stories convinced her that she could also feel the adrenaline. Or generally being useful for them. 

Anyway, she also got to know the other members. She was relieved that there were women in the mafia because she couldn't stand it with only men. She thinks everyone in the mafia is like family. They argue like siblings but really care for you when something happens. 

As she was walking back home from headquarters like always, she saw Lorenzo sitting on a bench. She sneaked over to him and startled him. "Why weren't you scared?" She asked him as she sat down next to him. "I could hear you." he said bluntly. "Are you all right?" She asked him since he gave such a blunt answer. "It's nothing. How are things going for you? I don't see you at your old training building anymore?" he asked her curiously. "Ah well, I'm training somewhere else now." she answers uncertainly. He just looked at her and then stood up. "Are we going somewhere again?" she asked him somewhat hopefully. "No, I'm going home. Bye." He said goodbye to her and went to his car. Selina found the thing strange and then went home.

When she came to the headquarters the next day, Sebastian met her. "Come to the boss's office." He said to her and then walked towards the office. She followed him and saw that Max, Bianca and Lee were already there. As the two stood next to their team members, the boss began to speak. "It's good that everyone is gathered now. There's a charity celebration taking place next week. We have a very important man to watch there." He looked carefully at each of us. 

"Lee, you take care of the sniper stuff. Hide as best you can in the building. Shadow and Selina, you both go to the party as a couple to talk to the man. Ace and Blade, you dress up as butlers and watch the whole thing and attack when a bad situation arises." He gave us each a task. "Ok that's it for now, I'll give you further instructions in the following days. Selina stay here." He said and Selina's colleagues walked out of the office. 

"What is it that I have to stay here?" she asked him curiously. "You've probably noticed that your comrades have code names. You don't have one yet, so I'm asking you to think of one." He said to her, waiting for an answer. "Should I decide now?" she asked caught of guard. Her boss nodded. She thought for a moment and answered "Sky. I think my code name should be Sky." Her boss smiled "Then Sky, it's nice to have you here and I wish you much success in the future missions." She happily left his office and went to the training room. 

However, as she went around the corner she saw Sebastian leaning against the door. "Why did the boss still keep you in his office?" he asked her. "I don't know if it's your business!" She replies sassy and walked past him. "I'll be your partner next week. I have to know otherwise it counts as cheating." He said in a kind of flirting tone making her stop. She turned around and looked at him annoyed. "But we're not a couple yet so I don't need to tell you now." She stated the fact and turned around to continue walking. "Incredible." He muttered just because of her stubbornness. Selina smiled again as she walked into the training room and saw Max waiting for her. "Are you up for a round?" he flirts. She rolled her eyes and went into the ring. And the two began to fight. 

After the two of them had trained enough, they went to the kitchen as usual to get something to drink. "So are you excited about your first mission?" he asked her. "Of course I'm looking forward to it." she said happily. "That's good because I thought you were a little spooked by having to pretend to be a couple with Sebastian." he laughed. "So I don't think I'll have any problems with it. However, I have to get used to doing missions first and I think it's good that I have someone at my side who I can ask questions from time to time if I'm stuck Deer knows that." she declared. 

"I find it strange that you pretend to the others that you have no problem with me and then when we are alone together you act as if I am the person you hate deeply." Sebastian stated next to her as he came into the kitchen. He heard everything Selina said. "Couple fighting!" Max commented and moved to safety because he knows a fight is about to break out. "In order to come across well, you also have to have good persuasive skills." She claimed and took a step closer to him. "Are you sure that these persuasive skills are good for the mission?" he countered and took a step closer to her. The two stood so close to each other that their noses were already touching. 

"Now all I need is a lively kiss to clear the whole thing up!" Max shouted from behind the counter. The two of them looked at him with a hate-filled look. "It's ok, I'll go, but I can't prevent the further events that will arise." He stated the fact as he left the kitchen. The two sighed and took a step back.

"I think we should discuss this further another time, don't you think?" Sebastian cleared his throat and opened the fridge and reached in at random. "Yes I think the same." Selina said and took a cold water bottle from the fridge and disappeared from the kitchen.
