"Good morning, Leader" My squad greeted me when I entered the conference room. I nod. I went to my seat and seriously looked ahead.
"Let's start." I was looking at the blueprint in front of me. I was listening to Gilian talking ahead for the next day.
"We need to get the files inside our target's office but it's more difficult now because he has too many men guarding every corner of his house but not inside the house because from what I discovered he doesn't want to let his men inside the mansion. One of the difficult things here in what we will do is that he is a mafia boss, and it will be difficult for us to get the information we need to bring him down. He is also merciless if he catches us, we will no longer be out of his territory. He is ready to kill us in an instant and without blinking an eye.
But I got some information that we can use for now and that is about his mom. According to the information I gathered, his mother is important to him. She died at the age of 40. We can take advantage of the information about his mother."
After the meeting, I went to my office to read or minimize our plan for the second operation. While I'm busy reading files I suddenly stop reading and thinking when I feel something off.
I don't know if it's my instinct but something inside me saying this is going to be worse.
"Neoma" Someone woke me from daydreaming in the middle of nowhere.
"Yes?" I looked at that person and I saw David. it seems like he is staring at me for a long time. "Are you watching me?" I ask him but he is just staring at me seriously. "Hello?" I raised my eyebrow at him.
"Have you eaten?" he asked me after minutes of staring at me like he was looking at my soul and reading my emotion. He seems like I'm about to lose patience with him. He's annoying at hell.
"Not yet," I answered him, annoyed. He smiled. He smiled?? What is wrong with him??
"Let's go and eat outside," he said and start to walk away. I just followed him to his car. After he asked, I suddenly felt my stomach rumbling. We went to a restaurant and I sat at one of the tables and stared at the people walking by.
AFTER David and I finished our food, he drove back to the agency because I remember we have a meeting today. Today is the planning. We were planning to do what we were told about.
"let's start." I sat in the middle and Gilian started discussing the mechanics first before we will start the planning. I swear this is gonna be a long plan.
"We are starting from searching for more information about the mafia boss. We will not underestimate him, just because he is young for being a mafia boss. Reese and Sylvester," I looked at the both of them seriously and they looked at me the same.
"Yes, Leader." Both of them said at the same time.
"Hack all of the sites connected with him and his friends. All of it. 'Walang Labis, walang kulang' and I found some sources about him, take it with you." they nodded at me and start typing something in their laptops with something I put into it. I look at Gilian and Khael to give their commands.
" Gilian and Khael, start with the possible strategies we can do in our first operation next week," I said. I watch their faces turn into shock in seconds. In a matter of seconds, they are looking at each other and starting to ask me. "First operation?" Gilian asked. "Next week?" Reese also asked. "Already? But we need more time to plan, right?" Nikko asked.
"The reason behind this is we have to do the first operation because we have to see what they got. We have to see what they are capable of. Especially the mafia boss, we have to look closely and hard to see what he is planning to do. we don't just do like a normal operation, we will do this because this is an unexpected but expected mission. We don't know what are we waiting for in that mansion of his. We need to be practical. I don't want to lose any of you. We need to be strong and independent." I look at each of them but they are looking at me hesitate. I sigh and look at the huge window in the conference room. "Leader," Renee said.
Looking at the view in the window, I am suddenly having second thoughts because of their opinion without telling me, just their eyes. I know all of them for a very long time now. After I got the promotion to be a senior in this agency, they are my first squad ever since and I never had thoughts of replacing them as my squad, for me this squad are the best in this agency.
The strategies, skills of hackers, skills of fighting in different ranges, plans, techniques, and more. I believe in them in different ways. They never have second thoughts about my plans but this time I know it's also different from before. It is something I need to think twice about because as time goes by, the more I found more information about him the more it keeps getting hard to find information. I think someone is blocking my way from hacking their system which made me stop hacking them.
Minutes have passed, still not answering them or looking at them. I need to think hardly to the point and also need to think about our safety because of this mission. For the first time in my life, I suddenly feel anxious because of this mission.
I finally look at them. I hope this decision I'll make is the decision I will not regret for my entire life.
"Okay, we will be just planning after that ready yourself for this upcoming war."
