After driving for a good while the van with the team inside pulls into their designated location, an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of town.
They get out of the van, the strongest carrying the hostage still in the bag as the approach the front steps.
"hello.." a stirn sounding man says, welcoming them to the mansion with a weird vibe.
They are a little confused but they don't think anything about it, the man motions for them to follow him inside of the mansion.
They follow him inside, admiring the lavish mansion interior around them.
"well now I should probably leave you all to it, but before I leave there is a few guidelines" the man says seriously.
"you may use the bar and mansion as you please but remember this is a 24 hour job and you must keep the hostage hidden if you want to money. No one is the leave or enter this building until 24 hours is up is that clear?" the man says seriously
They all look at each other, nodding in agreement.
"oh and no personal information." the man says.
"well how will we know each others names-" one of the young women says.
The man rolls his eyes, taking her request into consideration- "fine I'll give you names" the man says, causing her to smile softly.
"you are corey" he says to the young woman who asked the question "and you are ethan, you are robin uh you are elodie, you are katerina and you are vance. happy now?" the man says.
The group seems somewhat happy about their names as the man leaves the mansion, leaving them to continue their mission.
"elodie? seriously-" the other young woman mutters, thinking it's an odd name.
"fine- I'll go get the girl settled because all of you obviously don't give a fuck- rich pricks" elodie mumbles, seeing the rest of them are already heading downstairs into the bar.
She brings the duffle bag with the girl inside into an isolated room in the top corner of the mansion before cuffing her to the bed and blindfolding her, making sure she won't be able to figure out where she is.
After making sure the hostage is secure she reluctantly follows the others downstairs into the bar.
The others stare at her from the bar, causing her to become a little uncomfortable.
"what? the fuck do you guys want" she says, a little more snappy than she intended.
"wow looks like someone takes this job a little too seriously" robin says, smirking a little.
"well yeah, i kind of need the money- i'm not just here for fun like you who's already living off of daddy's money" elodie says.
"fuck you-" robin says, her face offended.
"hey hey- um how about we don't have any bad blood here tonight" corey says with a smile, trying to ease the tension.
"yeah, it's 24 hours guys what could possibly happen-" ethan says, taking a sip of wine.
"you obviously aren't a professional then-" elodie scoffs.
"fucking bitch" he mutters before walking away.
"how about we introduce ourselves? in a non revealing way like our favorite color our fake names and what we're here for" corey says softly.
"we aren't in fucking kindergarten sweetheart" vance, the broad muscle man of the group says causing her to frown.
"oh alright...sorry then" she mumbles, sitting down on one of the couches.
As the hour goes by the tension starts to dwindle a little bit, they aren't friends by a long shot but they don't all hate each others guts anymore either.
Corey notices Ethan staring at her, she shifts a little in her seat looking around to make sure he's actually like looking at her.
"can I help you?...." she says quietly, looking ahead at him
"no sorry i- you just look cool that's all" he says.
"thanks?...." she says, not really knowing why he decided to say that in this situation but she doesn't question it anymore.
The others watch as elodie goes upstairs to check on the girl, not wanting to interfere since she clearly isn't the type to have conversation.
She opens the door to the room, seeing the little girl on the bed backing away from her.
She sighs softly, sitting on the bed with the girl keeping a respectful distance.
"hey i'm not gonna hurt you" she says softly, not wanting to scare the girl even more than she probably already is. "I know your scared but i promise i won't let anyone hurt you." she says
"w-what's your name..." the young girl says "mines abigail..." she says quietly.
Elodie sighs knowing she can't really reveal that information to the young girl but she also doesn't want her to be mortified of her. "i'm elodie" she says, making sure to use her fake name "i promise i'm not here to hurt you alright? you just gotta trust me" she says gently.
"really?....please don't let anyone hurt me..." the girl says, tearing up.
"here, you know what? i'm gonna do something even better" elodie says gently "I'll pinky promise you that i won't let anyone hurt you while your here" she says with a small smile even though her mask covers it.
Abigail nods softly, completing the pinky promise through her cuffs feeling slightly safer with elodie now knowing she won't hurt her.
"I gotta go now but I'll be back alright?" elodie says gently standing up "do you need anything? water, food?" she offers to the girl. Abigail shakes her head softly "just don't be gone for long- please" she says quietly.
"I won't, i promise" she says leaving the room and locking the door, feeling bad for the young girl but also knowing it's all for the job and the money.
She walks back downstairs with the rest of the team and they look at her again,
"is she okay?" kat asks
"yeah she's fine" elodie says, clearly not in the mood to talk anymore.
"okay..." kat says softly, respecting her wishes
