It was very late on a Friday night, the Kings were in the dining room of the mansion, a large blue that had been marked with the design of not only the hotel but the surrounding building and the street it was on. Mark had spent the last few days mapping everything out.

Alyx was at least seven coffees deep at this point, not that she needed them to stay awake, she was just addicted.

"Chenle and Dalrae, you two are to infiltrate the security room. Mark has stolen a few janitor uniforms to get you into the building, once in, change your clothes and beeline from the security room. Loop the cameras while watching us in case anything happens." Alyx says to the designated hackers.

"Nabi with be in this building and I'll be in this one." Mark says, pointing to the empty office building across the way, before pointing to the building that was currently under construction. "We'll set up snipers, I'll keep and aerial view while you take the shot."

"Jisung, Iseul and I will be amongst the crowd, here, here and here." Alyx points to three points on the blueprint. "We'll provide comms for blind spots. Iseul, you need to stay around the restrooms inside the lobby, set fire when we give the signal and book it."

"The mission is to kill Kim Seonwha." Mark says, finishing off for his sister.

After everything was planned out and the group went over the fine details a few more times, Alyx called it a night.

It was 2AM by the time the girl had gotten back to her very dark apartment. Normally she would just spend the night at the mansion, however when her phone received a text message from the contact shadow, she knew she needed privacy.

Her apartment was dark and cold, majority of materials used where either black originally or painted black when she bought this place. She styled her apartment to be very monochromatic in terms of fabrics, she accented with red lights and green plants.

Alyx pulled her leather jacket off her shoulders, throwing over the backrest of her grey couch. She noticed the dark figure standing amongst the shadows, a dark hood covered majority of himself, the shadows also making it hard to see him.

She moved over to the ceiling to floor glass windows, leaning against a concrete pillar that acted as support for the apartment. "Evening, Shadow." She says, greeting the person that only she knows the true identity of.

The shadow moves from his spot in the complete darkness, now standing adjacent to her. The moonlight slightly catching his nose and illuminating it. She knew exactly who he was, yet she dares not to look. "Queen." His voices low and velvety smooth.

"Chess holds its master in its own bonds." Alyx says, starting out the classic code phrase for the Kings, normally only used when a mission is active or when they need to talk and to make sure it is safe to do so.

"Shaking the mind and brain so that the inner freedom of the very strongest must suffer." Shadow finishes the rest of it. After earning a nod from Alyx, he continues. "Team 00 of the Neo City Illicit and Illegal Activity Unit will be there tomorrow. It's a new team with a fresh leader, Na Jaemin."

The side of Alyx's lips tugged, the name ringing in her mind and a matching face appearing right after. "Copy."

Without another word, Shadow let himself out.
