017

I wake up to the sound of my alarm, and as much as I want to hit snooze, I know I can't. I groan as I sit up and stretch out.

Todays gonna be a long day.

I walk into my bathroom and begin to wash my face to the sound of P2 by Lil Uzi Vert. My outfit was basic and comfortable, a simple pair of lulu lemon leggings and a crop top. I slip my slides on and put my hair into a messy bun before doing some light makeup and walking downstairs. I'm greeted by Alex and Mari's smiling faces.
Mari: Good morning.
You: Morning.
A yawn escapes my mouth as I sit on a stool at the bar next to Alex, she smiles at me without looking up from her laptop.
You: What's the schedule for today Mari?
Mari: Team meeting first discuss the plans for the mission next week, 20 minute rundown of the new security system, 2 hour lunch, 3 hour Skype call with the allies and you're done by 4.
You: Perfect. Let's get going.
We walk out to the car and have Kris drive us to the office.

I walk in behind Mari and Alex and am immediately trampled by hugs and questions and comments of 'yes you're finally back!' and 'welcome back ma'am.' I thank everyone and call essential members of the team to the conference room, I slump down in my chair as they begin to sit around the table.
You: Ladies and gentlemen—
I slam the small paper down on the table and slide it to the left.
You: We got what we went for.
Everyone cheers and passes the paper around as I continue to speak.
You: Spit out any and all ideas that come to mind as to disguises for Alex, Mari, Grace, Reese and I.

Luca stands up and looks around the room a little scared.
You: Idea Lombardo?
Luca: Yes ma'am.
You: Hit me.
Luca: Dye your hair?
I look at Mari and she's got a look on her face like, no.
You: I like it. Not all of us dye our hair tho, only a couple of us
Alex stands with a smile.
Alex: Let's get wigs? Those of us that shouldn't dye our hair can wear wigs.
I nod.
You: Great idea Alex, who's wearing a wig?
Mari and Grace rapidly raised their hands and Alex followed a little after. I look over at Reese as she pushes the bud of her cigarette down in the ash tray, she smirks and looks over at me.
Reese: What color at we looking at?
I smile and face Mari.
You: Mari, set an appointment up for Reese and I for sometime within the next 3 days.
Mari: On it.
You: Luca, Mark, Maximo—
They all stand and face me with straight faces.
You: When was the last time you 3 went on a mission?
Mark: I don't want to make you upset ma'am.
You: I won't be upset.
Max: It was right before your parents passed ma'am.
I took a small breath.
You: Have you ever been to Hawaii?
The shake their heads as a smirk grows on my face, the girls look over at me.
You: You'll need disguises as well because you're coming with us.
Bright and lively smiles cross their faces.
Luca: Thank you ma'am, we won't let you down.
You: You're right, you won't. Mari—
She nods without looking up from her laptop.
You: Add Anastasio to the appointment as well.
Mari: Yes ma'am.
You: Meeting dismissed.
Everyone walks out of the conference room and I walk with Mari to my office, she sits across from me as I slump into my desk chair.
Mari: Lay.
You: Yes?
Mari: The allies cancelled the meeting for today.
You: Oh thank god.
I lay my head against my desk and take a deep breath, Mari came and lightly rubbed my back.

Mari: I understand how tired you are love. I can clear the rest of the day for you if you want me too.
I shake my head as I sit up again.
You: We only have the security system rundown left.
Mari: I know honey, that won't take long and you can relax before your appointment.
You: You booked one for today? How?
Mari: I have my ways.
She winks as she smirks and shows me the screen.
You: I hope we can go unnoticed.

Mattia

You: Los, when's the flight?
Carlos: Tuesday at 11 sir.
He turns his laptop to face me and shows me the schedule for the mission. I scan through it and take a double look at one of the tasks.
You: Woah, wait. They want us to smuggle back 6000 lbs or cocaine? How the fuck are we supposed to do that?
Kai: How we did it last time?

That's risky, especially since we're taking it from a group that's considered our 'ally.'

You: Get Alondra in here.
Alex runs out of the room and pulls Alondra in by her arm.

Alondra: Yes Mattia?
You: You wanna come on this mission?
She looks at me confused.
Alondra: Catch?
She sounds just like Layla, I roll my eyes.
You: There isn't one.
Alondra: Is papa making you do it?
I sigh and roll my eyes.
You: We need all the help we can get and you're the strongest female in the branch.
She smirks to herself and crosses her arms as a small chuckle escapes her body.
Alondra: I'm in.
You: Great, you need a disguise.
Alondra: Why?
You: Can't take any risks with you being noticed, Carlos, set an appointment for her for this afternoon.
Carlos: Yes sir.

She walks out of the conference room and I turn back to the boys.
You: One if you is to accompany her to the appointment and make sure nothing happens to her.
Alex: I'll do it Mattia.
You: No funny business Rosario, that's my little sister.
Alex: I understand sir.
