While he was traveling in the car, they installed a small wireless headset in his ear through which they could give him instructions to follow, they left him several blocks away from the indicated place, and although Luk and Ginger would play the same role in the mission, he did not know where they were, you could sense that they had been abandoned as was their own case, so they would have to orient themselves.
He walked a few meters until he could take a taxi to take him to the unknown address, which turned out to be a large mansion that any college student - whatever he was supposed to be - would be impressed with, however, he was used to that kind of refined and ostentatious atmosphere, even with the naked eye you could see that this mansion was smaller than the one he had grown up in, in his eyes it was considered an ordinary house.
He showed his identification at the entrance of high black bars and these were opened to let him pass without noticing the forgery, a security guard gave him directions to get to the back where their respective uniforms would be delivered to the waiters of that day, Ginger She had already changed her clothes, her blonde hair was tied up in a high ponytail, her appearance was neat and elegant despite her character, almost looking out of place since none of the other girls hired that day could wear a simple waiter outfit with such panache.
Luk and Tanou looked more in line with their characters, young, energetic, and harmless, easily confused with the other employees of the place.
The night went smoothly, Malik, April, and Nivi arrived separately, catching glances from men and women alike, more than once Tanou conscientiously interrupted abusive attempts to approach the girls by older people who were eager to put their hands on them, with the excuse of serving them a new drink or appetizer, gave enough space for them to subtly escape the situation without having to draw their daggers.
The ensemble of strings reverberated in the room, several couples, among them Malik and April, came out to dance with charming grace worthy of admiration, the dresses floated in circles throughout the place, the warm lights adorned the almost romantic atmosphere and the host walked proudly of his celebration.
The music stopped for a moment and people dispersed around the room, at which point Tanou had to work harder as a waiter, because everyone wanted a drink, at that moment of disorder Tan lost sight of the host of the party and his companions at the scene, a few minutes later they spoke to him through the earpiece.
"Eleven, go to the west corridor and third room on the right, Six and Four will cover for you"
Probably Ginger and Luk had also received some order because they made eye contact and gave him a nod, trying to go unnoticed little by little while distributing glasses of champagne, he walked to the indicated corridor, slowly opened the door of the room where, the host of the party A sturdy, bearded man standing in one corner of the room, Malik pointed a silenced revolver at him and Nivi sitting in the other corner carried a crying little girl on his lap.
He heard a voice again.
"Keep watch outside the room, Eleven."
He closed the door again with the same care, and waited on his feet until he got bored, he was tempted to take the cell phone out of his pocket and play with it for a while, until the unmistakable sound of a shot in the distance alerted all his senses, he concentrated on the sounds inside the room he was guarding and there was undoubtedly movement in there, some knocks, the girl's cry increased in volume and the buzz of a bullet as it passed through the wood of the door and passed his ear.
Tan jumped away, agitated and confused by how close he came to death, the door suddenly opened, Malik came out carrying the unconscious girl on his shoulder, and Nivi holding the gun looked around and fired with certainty at the three security cameras that were hidden in the hallway decorations.
"Everyone inside the house come out now, One, Five and Seven, it is your turn to enter"
April came running up to them, her heels in her hand, and her hair looked a bit messy.
"I'm sorry about the shot, things got out of control," she explained, trying to regulate her breathing.
"Typical of April, she freaks out a bit and ends up pulling the trigger," Malik replied.
Nivi intervened.
"No time for this shit Malik, we have to get out now"
"The guests began to evacuate since I fired," said April "The incognito are handling things outside, security is coming, we have to get out of here, Evie cleared an escape route for us"
The voice on the earpiece spoke again.
"Go down the stairs to the dining room, to the kitchen, and go out the window"
They rushed to follow the instructions, the room that was previously full of people allegedly dressed up was now a desolate mess of broken glasses, Tanou carried April on her back, so her bare feet wouldn't hurt, and they would have to slow down because of her.
They reached the kitchen and jumped out the window, despite being on the first floor the window was somewhat off the ground which cost them some minor blows and injuries from the fall, in addition to their dirty clothes on the ground.
"Run to the backyard, the gates will open for you for three minutes from now," said the voice on the earpiece.
They got up without time to complain about their battered bodies and ran through some trees for what seemed like hours, however, the rear gate was still ready when they arrived and Ralph was already waiting for them in a black van with tinted windows, which they desperately entered for getting away from that place and finishing that mission at once.
Malik gently tossed the girl onto one of the seats and sat down with a weary sigh.
April was checking one of her broken fingernails in dismay, her bottom lip sticking out in a pout.
Nivi tiredly kicked off her heels and massaged her aching feet.
"I congratulate you, you did great, although the kidnapping was unnecessary. Two," Ralph said.
Malik shrugged "I wouldn't have had to kidnap a brat if someone hadn't decided to improvise. How long will we give April weapons? The girl always ruins it"
"I was almost killed, you fucking numb!" April exclaimed.
Nivi ignored the discussion.
"Ginger and Luk where are they?"
"They evacuated the house along with the other employees, so they will finish their work shift normally and be sent home" Ralph replied.
"What about Kim and the others?" Tan asked without hiding his interest in knowing Kim's condition.
"They are still in the house, they have to clean up the mess that you guys made, you know, delete the security tapes, evidence, witnesses, anyway."
