"Name?" the main guy spoke.

"Skylar Marran plus 23. The other 2 aren't here yet," I stated.

"Names?" he asked while looking at the pad in his hand.

"Ethan Myers Marran and Lucifer."

He swiped through the pad that was in his hand then gave us a nod to go in. James stuck out his hand and I looped it around his.

"Ready to die from boredom," he mumbled as we walked inside.

"You know it," I whispered.

As we made our way inside we received looks from other guests. Some were new and others we knew from within the organization.

I looked to see Henry calling me over. He was with some of the other leaders of the organization. I turned to look at my guys.

"Go find our table. I'll be there in a few." They obeyed and walked off. James was about to go with them but I tightened my grip. "You're coming with me."

He let out a soft groan and we started heading over to Henry. Henry we loved but the other leaders we didn't care much for.

"Yes Mr. Henry," I addressed him by his business name since we were in front of the other leaders.

"Well Skylar, we wanted to say doing business with you so far has been wonderful. I hope our business with you continues for years," one of the leaders spoke.

"Thank you sir and I hope so too," I smiled. No one knew the leader's name except Jayson and Henry. I found it weird they didn't want us to know their names. They say it is part of the contract that in case something goes wrong in a mission or something, no one can name names.

James and I were about to head to our table when we were stopped by a voice. "Um Skylar, I wanted to speak to you about your team," says the other leader.
