"White Castle?" Matt said as I turned into the parking lot and parked the car.

"Yes White Castle. You got a problem with it?" I raised an eyebrow with arms crossed at my chest.

"Nope." Matt replied.

"That's what I thought." I huffed then tossed the car keys to Damen.

"Can I have number seven but with one drink?" I asked the cashier.

"Would you like anything else with your order, ma'am?" He asked.

"Yes, let me get them the same thing that I have and another drink." The cashier nodded and placed the order.

"That will be $30.76."

"Riska. You are not serious. Are you sure you can eat that much?" Damen watch amusingly as I chowed down the food.

"This girl eats more than me and Matt combined. How do you eat ten freaking sliders, two fries, and drink, and still stay the size you are?" Eric questioned while eating his second slider.

"I inherited the trait. At least I don't starve myself to have a model body." I said between bites.

"Girl, you funny." Matt chuckled.

Damen was just silently watching us amusingly and eating his food, then beepers started going off.

"Damn." Damen muttered. "I was just enjoying this too. Come on guys. Let's take Riska back home then we can go to the mission."

I choked on the food in my mouth. "Take me home? I'm part of the crew you know. I should be coming with you guys!"

"Sorry. I can not allow any chance of a repeat of what happened last mission." Damen said softly, but I wasn't going to budge.

"I'm coming whether you like it or not." I finished my food and stood up with purpose.

"B-" Damen started but got pulled by Eric.

Matt, Eric, and Damen stood in a circle a few feet away from me talking about something, then turned to face me.

"Alright. You can come. Your crew members pointed out that the first mission for every new recruit will have a bumpy obstacle to get over." He looked at his watch and back to me. "Come on. We got to go."

We got back to the car and Matt pulled out a laptop from the back of the chair. As he was typing away at the device a question came to mind.

"How was you guys' first mission?"

I noticed that they all shivered. "It was not pretty. Our first mission was stopping a group of rebellious war veterans. We barely got out alive, we were pretty beaten up, we had no choice but to paralyze them by stabbing them in the back of the neck at their spine. We were admitted to a hospital for a month to recover the damages done to our bodies."

I shuddered after hearing that even though I knew he was saving me from gruesome details. Maybe I shouldn't have asked. I sat quietly watching Matt continue to tap away at the computer.

"Alright. This is our mission. It seems like we have a party. There is a group hosting a party, their plans is to have a massacre there. They are not sure how many is in that group but we got an anonymous message, the person said that he witnessed a murder of one of the group ally leader, he said that he will reveal himself when we stop them." Matt said after a few more moments.

Damen pulled up to a abandonned warehouse. We went into the scary looking building and came up to a steel door. He placed his palm on the metal square that was next to door.
