It was four o'clock exactly and there were just two of us- me and Cassidy, sitting on a bench in a park located in Pewter City. I sat liesurely whilst she phone called a senior member of Team Rocket. We both were new recruits and needed help from the officials.

It was early morning and the wind was gentle, moved slowly, touching my hair a bit which bent upwards.

I started looking here and there when I saw two senior Team Rocket officials coming straight towards us. I walked slowly and walked carefully without being noticed by Police.

'Why are you both here ?',one of them asked with a itchy tone. His voice was disturbing and he looked distracted.
'Because we were asked to come here', I said explaining the situation.
'I mean here, in the park', he said while the other remained quiet.
'I've been calling you on the cell phone but no one is responding', said Cassidy.
'My phone has no network. We should not stay out here, come with me', he said trying to remain as quiet as a pin drop sound.
'Where ?',I asked curious to know what the plan was about.
'To a safer place',he said.

The two walked slowly and we followed their course. They walked stealthily and lead us to a small house next to a museum.

'A Museum ?', said Cassidy.
'No, the small brown building', said the senior official.
'Hurry, go ahead', I said.

We walked inside and their were at least ten Team Rocket Members. They all talked about some stone or something. I was confused about what was happening, why we were here and what was going to happen.

The two asked to follow us again. They both occupied a table and we also sat beside them. In minute or two, a man entered wearing a black formal suit. He was tall, dark and good looking. His shoulders were broad and had medium sized hair. He also had a pink Team Rocket R logo on the coat's pocket.

'Welcome our boss', said a Team Rocket Member and everybody shook his hand in respect.

'We started searching for it and finally found that stone. Yesterday, some officials told me that the search was over. After a long time, we finally have it and now that we have it, we would become rich. Everybody here will be rich', said the boss. Everybody cheered in merry and many were thankful to be a part of Team Rocket.

'So what are we waiting for let's go',said a Member. The Boss gave a smile and said,'You know that any Team Rocket Member walking openly on the streets would be arrested and put in jail for two years'. The Member's smile faded.

'We will go there in pairs of two and start our operation in the evening at sunset', said the Boss.

I still had doubts about the plan. The same doubts you have but understood that we were going to collect something from somewhere. And whatever it was, it was definitely a valuable stone or a gem.

'Let's go', said the Boss.'You two will go first'. The Boss pointed at us and I stood up after Cassidy. 'I would be honoured',said Cassidy hesitating.

'Excellent, that's the spirit',said the Boss. 'Take a senior official with you who would explain the plan to you'.
