LAURENS POV - MONTE CARLO - 7:02am

We arrived at our base. This time it was a gorgeous Victorian mansion.

"Whatever happened to staying low?" I chuckled. "No harm in a bit of pampering." Cara clapped her hands twice and the lights came on.

"Thank God the electricity is still working." Luke said as he lugged in some bags.

"Who ate the rest of my BLT?" Jeremy asked. "Not me." Stuart squeaked. Jeremy raised his eyebrow. "Then why does your breath reek of mayo?" he asked. "No it doesn't." Stuart gasped.

Jeremy held my arm and pulled me over. "Lauren, smell his breath and tell me that doesn't smell like mayo." Jeremy said. I smelt Stuarts breath.

"Oh Stu.. thats.. bad." I giggled. "Jeremy, I didn't eat it!" Stuart exclaimed. Jeremys eyes moved down to Stuart coat pocket. In one swift movement, Jeremy striked and took out a BLT wrapper.

"Whats this?" Jeremy asked as he raised it in the air. "My wrapper!" Stuart exclaimed as he jumped up trying to get it back.

"Alright, enough of this. We should get some rest. Matt and David, are ye gonna leave any time soon?" Luke asked as he cracked open a bottle of beer.

"Yep. We'll leave now. Just wanted to leave this letter here. Don't have to open it now, just have it read by tomorrow at noon." Matt said. He lit his cigarette before he left.

"Don't leave that anywhere here." Luke shouted at him. Matt waved and left with David, slamming the door behind them.

We all looked at the letter, then at Luke. He took a swig of his beer.

"No one open it. I'll read it myself tonight." Luke said. Then he went upstairs and left without saying anything else.

"I'm gonna take Hunter out the back." I said. I then left out the back with Hunter.

A few minutes later, Kayla came out behind me.

"How are you nowadays?" Kayla asked as she sat on a step below the door. "Grand. It's an interesting life. Never had such a near death experience before." I laughed.

"I've had my few." Kayla scoffed. "Like how?" I asked.

Kayla looked at Hunter.

"One was a dog." she said, then proceeded to throw some rocks and Hunter chased after them.

"What happened?"

"I was at the racing tracks. It was my first time meeting Luke. I only knew Ryan, Cara and Daniel. I was the new recruit. Met Ryan at the bar, so I did." Kayla said. I remained silent to let her continue.

I was sharing a camper van with Ryan at the races. Had our sports cars out the front. Luke was after doing his laps. He won those races. He was the illegal champion, you know," she said.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"I was leaving the camper van, was heading out to meet Luke. But on my way, a big Alsatian, like your boy there, started barking at me,"
