THROUGHOUT the journey I ignore Coal but he doesn't give up.

He tries gaining my attention by calling my name repeatedly but no matter how much I want to answer him, I refrain myself from saying anything. After a few minutes of getting into The Chip and finding out where it's last location was, we had our destination and quickly drove down there.

"Chantelle." He says, repeatedly.

"What!?" I snap finally with a scowl, exasperated. He glares at me before sighing in despair.

"We're here." He parks in front of a warehouse, the sun already down and dusk making its way. I gape in realisation and almost face palm myself in stupidness.

How could I not know?

"Dimitri works here, this is his main warehouse. When I went undercover, he gave 70 thousand dollars to a British. The Chip, that we are now looking, was to help anticipate the Brits move before the betrayal but, sadly for Dimitri, I snatched it out before he could and the Brits got away with the money and the weapons." Coal explains to me as he slowly opens the door.

We walk quietly through the warehouse, hiding if we hear a noise. The damp air surrounds us and the area is eerie and desolate. The faint sound of clatter or gunshots doesn't make me flinch but the sound of Coal breathing heavily besides me does. His cologne rants is drifting around me is too much, I almost wanted to shoot myself there before I jump him.

"Richard Price." I whisper and Coal nods, looking at me with a frown. "The Brits' Leader."

"How do you know?"

"He betrayed my Dad." I smirk and look at Coal. "So I was sent out to kill him. Too bad I didn't hear about his wedding beforehand." My eyes beams with adrenaline and Coal smirks as I jump on top of the crate, Coal follows after, a loud thump echoing through the area.

"How did you kill him?" Coal whispers into my ear when I crouched down. I clench my jaw and flip him onto the floor, giving him a saccharinely smile.

"Like this." Licking my lower lip, I watch him stare at the sensual movement before I lean down. I kiss Coal and release the grip I have on his hands as I deepen the kiss, his fingers running down my arms.

Then I stand up. "Seduction has always been my strength, just like my two cousins." I smirk and jump onto the second crate, landing gracefully before giving a sly smile over my shoulder at the bewildered Coal.

"Are you coming?"

Coal glares at me and then jumps up onto the crate. "Mind games. Very good tactic." He whispers, annoyed.

"Not mind games. Men are just fools, believing that they have every women in their hands." I scoff and pointed to the hallway to our right, remembering the blueprint when my Dad first showed me it. "Come this way."

We go down a clean white foyer, no windows to give in natural light only a few chandlers hanging from the ceiling, blinking with florescent light. There are doors, all ebony wood expect the one at the end. It is metal silver therefore it stands out in the hallway. I instantly get drawn to it, my instincts making me walk closer to it. Coal tries to keep up with me and as we stand in front of the door, I have a sickly feeling.

"I'll go first." He insists and I shrug, not really caring.

"Go on. I don't want to be killed first." He rolls his eyes then slowly opens the door. Inside is suitcases stacked on top of each other in a pyramid shape, locked with padlocks to protect the contrabands. I push past Coal and carefully examine the suitcases, checking it for any signs of alarms.
