"Have you retrieved what the Boss asked for, Jax?" A man approached his colleague, who was intently focused on a laptop.
Napakunot muli ng noo ang lalaking nasa harap ng kaniyang laptop. Sa unang pagkakataon ng kaniyang pagtatrabaho sa grupong ito, ngayon lang siya nahirapan sa kaniyang ginagawa.
Jaxon Mager was the Stone Mafia's top hacker. Known as the best in his field, he could breach bank systems and major corporate security networks with ease. Pero ngayon, sa unang pagkakataon, naramdaman niya na nahanap niya na ang katapat niya.
"Someone hacked the hotel's system from 8:03 to 8:13," Jaxon replied to Yuji's question.
Yuji Ivanov, the group's consigliere, was the boss's most trusted man. He would put his life on the line without a second thought to protect his boss. He was both the vanguard and the dealer of the group.
"This is getting interesting." Lumapit ang isang babaeng may hawak ng beer, at umupo sa tabi ni Jaxon. Makikitaan sa kaniyang mukha ang pagkasabik sa mga nangyayari sa kanilang ginagawa. "Sure, may tinatago ang mga Sakurada," komento pa nito bago tinungga ang natitirang laman sa kaniyang hawak.
Margarita Salazar, the team's arsonist and explosives expert, was the only woman in the group. Hindi rin siya nagpapahuli sa mga lalaking kasamahan niya pagdating sa kakayahan ng meron siya. She was an invaluable asset to the Stone Mafia.
"Have you retrieved it? Nandyan na ang kotse ni boss," untag ng isa pang kasamahan nila na nakasilip sa bintana.
Silver Cervantes, the group's spy and sharpshooter, was an expert on firearms and a marksman who never missed his target. Walang makakatalo sa kaniyang galing sa pagmamatyag ng kanilang mga kalaban, kaya naman isa siya sa pinangangalagaan ng grupo.
They are members of the notorious Stone Mafia, feared by many and led by one highly influential and ruthless man.
"Boss Garret," sabay-sabay nilang bati sa kakapasok lang na lalaki.
He was none other than Garret Azazel Esquival, the youngest mafia boss to command such fear and respect. Every part of his presence radiated authority, and with a single look, he could make even the bravest of his enemies tremble. Ang mga salitang lumalabas sa kaniyang bibig, at ang galaw na kaniyang ginagawa ay isang batas na hindi mo maaaring kalabanin. Any attempt to challenge him meant a guaranteed encounter with death.
"Did you find her?" he asked, his voice tinged with anticipation.
Pinaubaya niya na sa sariling grupo ang paghahanap upang mas mapabilis makita ang babae nang gabing iyon. Nasasabik na siyang makilala ang buong katauhan nito.
"Got it!" Jaxon said, pressing a key on his laptop.
Lumabas sa kaniyang laptop ang lahat ng mga footage na nawala sa oras ng kanilang hinahanap. Iniharap niya ito sa kanilang boss.
