Heartbeats In The Underworld: Serpentine Hearts

MISSION AHEAD...

(4 weeks later)

General P.O.V

"Good morning, please report to the meeting hall immediately. If you're late, I'll deduct three months worth of your salary," came Zeke's voice through the megaphone downstairs.

"It's 8am! Already!"

"Give me five more minutes of sleep."

"Shut up, Zeke."

"Lord, why?"

"We're not desperate for money, you know."

"Hey, speak for yourself," came all the voices shouting from upstairs.

Guys, we have a mission to prepare for," Zeke shouted.

*Spongebob voice*: Five minutes later.

"Yeah, so what's it about Zeke, hmm?"

"I'm so excited."

"God has answered my prayers."

"CAN YOU ALL SHUT UP!"

Everyone turned to look at Zeke, who was glaring at them, arms crossed and a deadly shut-ur-mouth look on his face.

"As I was saying, we have a mission to prepare for. As you know, during our missions, we dont use our real names, we disguise ourselves and we dont unnecessarily interact with other people. P.A., please come forward."

"Yes, sir,"Alessia replied.

"I'd like you to share these documents to them. It has their names on the front. He turned to face the others. "These documents contain your new code names and other stuff, and also your roles for the mission."

"Would you please explain the mission, before we take our documents?" Alex asked.

"Okay, so there's this diamond exhibition coming soon, and many high rank people are going to be there. So, our target is stealing the diamond from them, and of course, getting outta there."

"Can I share the files now?" Alessia asked.

"Go ahead."

Everyone got their documents and flipped through the pages. And by the look on their faces, they were done for. This mission was going to be horrible. And boring.

"Zeke," Jessica said, "I know we have to disguise ourselves, but I think this is a bit much for me. Do I really have to dress like a housekeeper and wear a blonde wig? You know my style. I HATE blonde.

"I like my role, Khaid said, I'm really classy. Wait a second, Alessia, have you seen your role?"

"No, why?"

Zeke was holding in a laugh.

"Well, I'm supposed to be your, um, boyfriend."

"WHAT!" she screamed, flipping through her papers like a maniac on drugs.

"Wow, looks like you've gotten yourself a BF," Magnus said.

"He's not my –,"

Zeke interrupted. "It's only for the mission, besides, you get to do some stuff too."

"What kind of stuff exactly?" Khaid asked.

"Well, you might have to, um, hold her waist, kiss her in public, hold her hand, blah, but actually, the reason why youd have to do all those stuffs is because, number one, all those weirdo rich guys are very sensitive, so if someone new comes, and comes with company, you'd have to prove what you say you guys are. Number two, all those fucking reporters and interviewers are gonna be there, so you guys are going to have to satisfy their curiosity."

Khaid was going crazy. "But must I be with her throughout the mission?"

"Hmm, let me break it down for you." Zeke said. "Khaid, in this mission, you're going to pretend to be a high authority coming from Australia. And since I don't want you to be alone in case anything happens while trying to steal the diamond, I decided to let Alessia be with you. So, if they ask who she is, you'd have to say she's your girlfriend."

"Oh, its starting to make sense now," Wednesday said, nodding.

"Can't I just say she's my sis or something? Or maybe another authority from Australia?"

Jake laughed. "Bro, they'll obviously do a background check on you, and Zeke's prepared a fake one for all of us, and for you, sister is not included. Also, in this mission, we can't have more than one person as a fake authority. The lesser we are, the better."

"Nicely said." Zeke high-fived him.

Just while this whole conversation was going on, Alessia was rocking in her chair, thinking about her life and wondering where she had gone wrong. This was the first mission that required her to be a girlfriend.

"So, let's get this whole mission straight," Khaid said. "My name is Dave Jackson, and I'm a VIP coming from Australia. I have a girlfriend, Phoebe Johnson, who comes from a wealthy family, right?"

"Yup," Zeke replied.

"I don't have much work to do," Jessica said, "because I'm the janitor. I'm just supposed to alert you guys if there's danger. Oh, and my name's Ella."

Hope was quite pleased with her role, mostly because shes a no-stress girl. "So, Camila, Magnus, Alex and I are just spectators at the event, right?"

"Yes," Zeke nodded, "Wednesday, please say your role."

"Okay, I'm going to be at one of the restricted areas of the hall, where the light switch for all the lights is. When I turn of the lights, I'll set it on fire so it can't be turned back on. The fire alarm will be the signal for Khaid and Alessia."

"What about you, Jake?" Alessia asked.

"I'm supposed to sneak into the CCTV surveillance room, knock out the guys there, and turn off the cameras, because they can capture images in the dark. That way, no one will see us when we take out the diamond."

Zeke took out a key from his pocket and gave it to Jake. "Just in case the door is locked. I got it from one of my spies."

"What are you doing anyway, Zeke?"

"Well, you know, after the lights are turned off, security will be sent to guard the diamond, so I'm going to knock them down, which I can do, only when the lights and cameras are off. So, Jake, Wednesday, do your job well."

"Yes sir," they replied.

"So, by tomorrow, well be getting ready for the mission. Zeke turned to Alessia. Get ready, this mission could be bloody.."
