Rose ran in and sat down at the control desk. “A group of 5 mafias are planning on robbing something very expensive from Switzerland…” “Unnie, Unnie where are you?” someone called in the distance. The voice again spoke “ I don’t have much time, someone is headed in my direction, I don’t know much but I am telling you what I know, The group is going to turn up to Monaco by helicopter and then go by road to Bern where the item is kept…” The call got disconnected leaving Rose puzzled. After a few seconds Jade and Hazel bombarded Rose with questions, she herself didn’t know much so she explained whatever she knew to Hazel and Jade.

 

“3 days later we will use our private helicopter to go to Monaco, Elizabeth will fly it.” “No she won’t!” Olivia, Zayn and Charles screamed all in unison. “You don’t have to tell me twice,” Shadow replied while Elizabeth rolled her eyes. “I will fly the Helicopter. About the borders, I have already hacked into the system so no one knows we entered there. We’ll land on one of my friend’s land, and then continue by road so we can carry out our mission without any issues.” Zayn interrupted her by saying “but what if they have a backup system to track who enters and exits the country?” “What if anyone sees us landing on your friend’s land?” concluded Charles. Shadow winks, “Don’t worry I have got that settled too…”

“We know that they are going by air to Monaco, we can’t stop them from going through the air but we can launch a spy drone to see when they enter Monaco because they must have hacked the system.” Rose concluded. “So we basically are using a drone to see where they come in from, we get notified about the movement and we follow their location using the drone while making sure they don’t notice the drone?” Hazel asked. “Seriously, were you sleeping this whole time?” Jade said, annoyed. “Stop fighting Jade,” Rose said while sending her a death glare. Rose continued by saying “The 2 of you are going to Switzerland, Jade will go to the Madame Tussaud’s in Switzerland to protect the Watch on Marthe Keller’s wrist and Hazel will go to the Government State office to protect the Black Diamond. When I figure out what is being stolen, we will all leave everything and come to that destination”

“We will be in 2 separate cars, me, Elizabeth and Zayn go in the first car and we kill most of the men except ours, so they shoot us 3. We’ve paid 3 men to shoot us using darts filled with drugs, they will do so by replacing 3 of the spy’s men. Charles and Olivia come in here, Charles carries us 3 to a van and we use the back to sneak in and steal the watch right under their very noses. Olivia will distract the others and kill all the men, no evidence should be left. Charles will come back to help Olivia and escape. Everyone else will think that we 3 are dead.” Shadow finished. 

“One more thing, we will all have 10 men with each of us, our most trusted men. We will go through our men’s items because we always manage to sabotage their plans but they always slip away.” Hazel and Rose nodded at Jade’s idea and decided to check each and every person. Jade and Rose checked through all their men’s stuff and found nothing. Hazel went to check the 2 private jets. She called up their agency to arrange for cars in Switzerland and in Monaco. Little did they know they were in for a surprise…

The next day.

As they landed in Switzerland, Jade and Hazel got a message on their phone from their agency saying “Jade and her group will go to the black vans and Hazel’s group will go to the white vans.” They all went into their respective vans without knowing what was actually happening...

Flashback - After landing they stopped by Starbucks to grab coffees and when nobody was paying attention, 2 men who were paid by the mafias came and stabbed their men and took their place making sure neither Jade or Hazel had a clue about it…

Till now neither Jade or Hazel have figured out that their men were replaced.

The third man however wasn’t successful to kill one of Rose’s men and live to tell the tale. Rose quickly figured out that something was weird. She had to inform her team members about this. She couldn’t connect to them so she had to figure out another way to inform them...

2 days later - 

“We’ve reached our destination” Shadow said while landing the copter on her friend’s land “I repeat we’ve reached our destination.” “Shadow, who do you think had sent that drone above to spy on us?” Elizabeth asked. “I sometimes wonder how you made it into this business” Olivia said while rolling her eyes, “it must be Rose and her team.” “Yeah, you should be thankful that I have the aim of an archerfish so I could shoot the drone straight out of the sky.” Charles boasted. “Hey because of your aim my sleep got disturbed, if I wasn’t attentive you would all be in graves right now” Olivia said coldly. “Everyone shut up before you see my wrath” Shadow said as everyone gulped. They decided to stay the night at her friend’s house and continue tomorrow.

Rose POV - Oh no! The connection with the drone was lost, they were smarter than expected. we’ve no other choice than to play with chance. They are mafias and they will obviously go for the bigger loot. “Hazel, forget everything and just come to the Madame Tussaud’s.” Hazel ran towards the van while signalling her men to follow. 

The Next Day - 

“Excuse me sir can you please tell me where I may find Ms. Jade and Ms. Hazel?” Rose asked at the reception. “Third floor, they booked the whole of the third floor.” The receptionist replied sweetly. “Thank you” Rose called before running towards the elevator. “Jade, Hazel meet me in room 327 in 5 minutes with all of your men.” Rose said confidentially. 5 minutes later everyone was in the room staring at Rose in silence. Hazel broke the silence by asking “Why have you brought only 9 men with you Rose?” “Good question Hazel” she replied “this is exactly why I have called you here today, it has come to my notice that some of our men were replaced with the mafias men. I found the one that was lurking around me. I know there are other men who are still here from the mafia’s group.” She concluded in an ominous tone while taking out her gun. Everyone in the room started sweating while 2 of them put on their masks. Bang - Bang the echo of bullets rang throughout the room as Rose shot them both in the head. “Sorry about that but now we don’t have any time to waste. We need to head to Madame Tussaud’s right now and protect the watch that lies on Marthe Keller’s wrist.” She looked around the room before continuing. “Since we’re now only 30 this is how it is going to work, Jade and 8 men will stand guard outside. If they manage to get past her, Hazel will be on the 1st floor with 10 men and if they get past Hazel, I’ll be on the 3rd floor with 4 men guarding the watch. The rest of the 5 men will go in first to evacuate the area.” The room had a pin-drop silence until Hazel’s phone buzzed, it was a message from an unknown number, “The mafias are 45 minutes away from their destination, they are headed towards the Madame Tussaud’s.” When Hazel was done reading everyone was looking at Rose. “We don’t have enough time, everyone get your guns ready and you 5 go and start leading people to safety” Hazel said breaking the silence. Her sentence left everyone shook, but everyone nodded their heads and got to work. 

Everything seemed eerily quiet and Shadow hated it as it was still 7:00 in the evening and the sky was still partially lit. Shadow and Elizabeth looked at each other confused. As they got closer to the Madame Tussaud’s they saw. Jade and 8 other men lined up ready to press the trigger. Before they could react Jade shot one of the front tires of their car. They got tossed out of their car and after a few seconds their car burst into flames. Zayn and Shadow grabbed their guns ready to shoot back. Elizabeth however hit her head on a sharp rock and was breathing the last few breaths she had. Jade signalled her men to start shooting while making sure they just get injured and no one should get killed. Shadow and Zayn found cover knowing there were too many people to fight so Shadow showed Zayn a fist indicating to light up a smoke bomb. Zayn followed Shadow’s instructions and threw the bomb near Jade and her men’s feet. Within seconds they were blinded with the smoke. Shadow then went ahead and free fired her guns shooting all of the 8 men. Zayn picked up Elizabeth and took her to a safe spot. Before he could do anything else 2 men who were helping in evacuating the area came there and took Elizabeth away. They shot a bullet at Zayn’s thigh and then his wrist and took him away too. 

*Cough* *Cough* Shadow bent down next to her, gave an evil smirk and punched her in the face. Olivia and Charles arrived a few minutes later with 10 men, they went inside the building anyway because their plan failed, the men they paid to dart them were not there. 

Hazel POV - 

I heard footsteps coming up the stairs so I aimed my gun towards the staircase as did all the other men. They were 13 and we were 11. Without waiting I shot 2 men right in the head and I signalled my men to take care of the 8 men still left standing. In moments there were gunshots echoing throughout the second floor. We managed to kill 7 of the men and shoot Olivia in the stomach. Now it was Shadow and Charles and 1 of their men against me and 3 men of mine. I ordered 2 of them to take down Charles. I shot the last man in the chest. My 2 men shot Charles at the waist. I saw my men were taking away Olivia and Charles, that’s when I remembered about Shadow. I was scanning the room to search for Shadow when I felt a sharp knife pierce through my skin near my belly button. Everything was blank…

The last 3 men returned from helping the innocent. They saw Jade lying on the floor unconscious. One of the men picked her up and took her to their car then without wasting time he drove away to a hospital. As the guards went on the second floor they saw that Hazel was lying lifelessly on the floor. They took her to the hospital but it was too late, they lost a beautiful soul today…

Rose POV - While I was lost in my thoughts I heard small grunts coming from my men. I rolled towards the edge of the room hiding behind some objects. “We meet again,” Shadow said. I realised it was Shadow the mafia queen. She was a very good person, she did bad things for the right reasons. “I did what I had to do” she said in a low voice “Your men have captured the rest of my team. Now I will take my leave”. I nodded my head at her as she left me while a small smile appeared on her face…
