CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: THE GALA
---
You, Five, Diego and Lila were bending down with your backs up against a small brick wall.
You had your hair sat up and you were wearing a dark green dress.
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 our 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.
You and Five glanced at each other before nodding and you jumped over.
You were 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 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 him "That's what I said" he said before he turned back "On me" he said before running towards another car.
You looked at Five "Just go, I will be right behind you" he said and you nodded before you followed Diego.
You knew that Five probably wanted to tell Lila that he don't trust her, and you had it fine with that, every since the high-five, you knew that she was not from this timeline.
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 my wife and I don't trust you for a second and I don't know what you are up to, but leave Y/n alone, understood, and if you touch one hair on my wife, I swear to God I'm going to kill you" he said "O ye of little faith" Lila said "Stick it up your ass" he 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 you and Diego enter the building with Five and Lila behind you as overlapping chatter was heard.
Five quickly grabbed two glasses of champagne from a tray that was being held by a caterer.
He turned around before handing one to you "My lady" he said "Thank you" you took the glass from him before you both took a sip while you quickly looked around.
"I don't see Dad anywhere" Diego said "Just keep an eye out for the Majestic Twelve" you said "Y/n/n and I got upstairs" Five said before he looked at Diego "Diego, try not to do anything too stupid" he said and Lila chuckled softly.
