Winning The War; BOS 4

Before Part 2

Failed
Maddison Hast
I looked at my reflection in the mirror. The dress is tight and long with a split down the left side from mid thigh. It's a dark purple with long slip shouldered sleeves. I wore black strap heels and a gun holister was hidden, strapped to my right thigh, on my right ankle was a knife and up my right sleeve was a metal wire that I'll use for binding something or someone. However if necessary I will use it to kill.
I put on a lightly curled blonde wig and fasten it firmly onto my head so it won't come off. I put on a bright red lipstick and a light gold eyeshadow. I look very nice if I do say so myself. My phone rings and I'm startled when I see it's Mr Clint but quickly answer. "Hello sir. Why are you ringing?" I ask as I look at my reflection from different angles.
"You need to wear an ear com. There is one in the bag I gave you." He replies and I frown.
"I thought I was working alone." I ask in puzzlement.
"You were working alone because you had 7 days until they stick the target. You had 7 days to get your information. Now you have less time. A fair bit less. You will have other people helping to gather information while a couple help you look out for Melody. One of those is a friend of yours. Alysha Hill." He replies and I get mixed emotions. Fear of the shortened time and happieness that my friend is helping.
"You are to stay away from Alysha so you don't blow your cover." Mr Clint adds.
"How long do I have now?" I ask.
"2 days. Today and tomorrow. They plan to strike the day after tomorrow." He says and I sigh.
"Thank you sir." I hang up and clench my eyes shut in frustration for a second before grabbing my clutch. I put it my phone, wallet, lipstick and mascara. Then I put in a vile of poison and knife into the secret pocket.
"Now I'm under even more pressure." I grumble as I fish out the coms and put it in my ear. Almost imediantly I hear the voices of the agents helping me out. None sounding familiar.
Quickly I walk from my room and into the elevator which I take to the ground floor. When I step outside I feel a slight chill yet I ignore it and get into the agency rental car.
The party is more of an exclusive gathering of rich people. The only way to enter is to have been invited and have your name on the list. My undercover name is Layla Barlow. "Good evening miss. Name and invite please." The man at the entramce days and I smile sweetly.
"Layla. Layla Barlow." I say and when his eyes scan the list his eyes widen.
"My, my. Sorry miss. You may enter. Just down the hall and the 4th to the right." He says and I walk past him. When I'm a far distance away I sigh in relief before approaching the door.
I open it and step inside. People glance at me but do a double take and soon most are staring at me at tge top of the stairs as I make my way down. My eyes skimming the crowd. I spot Melody with her son Antonio and just as I suspected he spotted me first. His eyes widen and he elbows his mother. She turns and looks at me. A smile spreading acrosd her lips.
"The hook is in. Nice entrance Mads." Alysha says through the coms and I smile.
When I get to the crowd at the bottom I allow them to gently shove me in a direction like a river bank. Antonio appears in front of me and I 'accidentally' crash into him, my clutch falling to the ground. I stagger and he puts an arm around my waist to stop me from falling. He picks up my clutch and hands it to me.
I look him up and down slowly. He is very handsome and age 23 says the profil I was given. With a huff I walk away, head held high. Soft laughs from multiple people through the coms make me almost smile yet I hold it back. "Hello dear. That is a wonderful dress you're wearing." A woman says and I turn to see it's Melody and I smile.
"Thank you." I reply.
"You simply must join me and my son." She says.
"Oh I couldn't." I shake my head and Melody chuckles.
"You simply must. The nanes Melody Masters. You can call me Melody." She says and takes my arm.
"Layla. Layla Barlow." I smile. I'm so in.

The first day went well. I ate with Melody and Antonio. Antonio just couldn't keep his eyes off of me. I found out that there were 25 men connected to the Diablos were there watching and all of which had a concealed gun of some kind. I even overheard one of them talking about a big plan. That it'll be a moment in history for the Diablos. I have no idea of what they could be talking about. I'll have to find out more tonight at the charitg event.
Melody invited me to attend with her. Once again Antonio will be there. I decided to wear a red dress that's tight on the strapless bodice with a flowing skirt that's knee length at the front and down to my heals at the back. I wear the same black strap heels, wig and makeup.
This time I have a gun on my left thigh and a knife on my right. Hopefully I won't need them. You never know. When I walk out the front I see Antonio leaning against a gold ferarri. My feet freeze to the spot. "What is he doing here?" One of the men helping on the mission hissed and I have no idea.
"Hello miss Layla. I was asked to take you to the charity." Antonio says calmly as he approaches.
"By Melody I suppose. We should hurry. I prefer to be at places on time." I say and get into the front passenger seat.
Antonio gets into the drivers seat and I look out the window. This is gonna be a long ride.

When we got to the charity Melody met ud straight away and walked inside with us. We talked and laughed. I was so caught up that I never noticed the Diablo heir standing in the shadows on the balcony above us.
Neither did anyone else until it was too late. Gunshots were fired and I was tripped and shoved to the ground by frantic and screaming people. The last thing I see is Melody laying dead on the floor, 4 bullets to the chest. I failed to protect her.
Then it all goes black.
