As the chaos erupted in the waiting section of Mast Aire Airport, Debbie discreetly approached Sally and whispered urgent information into her ear. Earlier, Debbie and Lauda had detected that the EAE Intelligence undercover operatives, embedded within the airport's security, had begun to mobilize.
1 hour before...
As Suzanna and her entourage entered the waiting area, one of the EAE Intelligence team members, undercover as airport security, tapped his earpiece. "Boss, the target and her associates have entered the airport. Can we proceed?"
Victor, haunted by past failures, snapped at his team, his voice laced with frustration and anger. His plans had been disrupted by Diana's team, and he was still in the dark about their identities.
"You no get sense. Eehn, u and Lillit, none of your sense dey function. Go now! Go now! May you cucuma spoil the whole mission." Cowards!! He mentioned silently furious.
Drawing snickers from some of the team members. However, they quickly shut up as a woman, clad in head-to-toe black, adorned with multiple facial piercings and bold, expressive body art, stood beside Victor, her piercing gaze reinforcing his authority, close to Victor. Her all-black ensemble - black leather jacket, black cargo pants, and black combat boots - exuded an aura of deadly precision, hallmark of elite operatives.
Victor's anger deflated, replaced by calculated composure. He took a deep breath, his voice commanding.
"Keep an eye on them. We've lost the element of surprise. If they'd arrived unsuspecting, we'd have the upper hand. Now, follow but do not engage until the right time. Got it?"
The undercover airport security, EAE Intelligence, responded, "Roger, sir."
As he and the female young undercover agent, posing as a rich, spoiled girl with her detail, proceeded.
Debbie and Lauda noticed the EAE Intelligence operatives closing in. Lauda discreetly nudged Debbie, who shot her an irritated glance before approaching Sally. Debbie whispered urgently, her eyes scanning the surroundings.
Sally, still perplexed but grasping the severity, nodded and signaled Jade. Jade approached, and Sally whispered instructions in her ear.
Unnoticed by the chaos, the two EAE Intelligence undercover agents tracked their movements.
Jade nodded, and her team sprang into action. Two women in tailored suits expertly surrounded Suzanna, shielding her from enthusiastic fans. With precision, they guided Suzanna and her manager, accompanied by Lauda – who declined the offer of protection – toward the airport's VIP restroom, directed by Jessie's prior instructions.
As Suzanna disappeared into the crowd, some fans grew restless.
Debbie glanced back, confirming the EAE Intelligence operatives were still tailing them.
Drawing unease from Debbie and Lauda, they contemplated their escape from the EAE Intelligence agents' tail.
Before they could devise a plan, Diana's voice resonated in their ears, calm and reassuring.
"Don't worry, girls. It's been handled."
As they turned toward the sound, a Playful Delights Inc. sales representative emerged, accompanied by a sharply dressed woman. The duo's sudden arrival paused Suzanna's entourage, including the EAE Intelligence agents who had been tailing them.
The woman stepped forward, while the sales representative discreetly nodded at Debbie and Lauda.
"Guess who's here?"
It was Diana.
"Sally, hello. I'm Kayla from Playful Delights Inc.," Diana said, her voice confident. "We received your request for our exclusive toys. We've brought them to you at Mast Aire Airport."
Sally and Suzanna exchanged surprised glances.
Lauda, sensing an opportunity, approached Sally and whispered urgently in her ear. Sally's eyes widened in astonishment.
As Sally processed the sudden turn of events, Diana extended her hand. Sally reached out, and Diana's hand stressed slightly as their hands met.
Still bewildered, though.
Sally smirked, "Welcome, yes, we made arrangements. Perfect timing."
She scanned the crowd, her gesture calculated, and waved. "Hello, everyone! Want exclusive toys? PS5, balloons, and more."
The crowd, still reeling, was electrified by her next announcement. "And it gets better - each gift bears the autograph of our beloved musician, songwriter, and actress, Suzanna, aka Suzuki."
The crowd erupted into chaos as families, couples, and fans surged toward the area. Two Playful Delights Inc. representatives, both men, efficiently handed out toys.
Suzanna, still bewildered and shocked, forced a smile, acknowledging her fans' gratitude as they thanked her for the generous gesture.
As they walked by, Diana froze, her piercing stare slicing through the crowd. Her eyes locked onto Lauda's smile, and she raised an eyebrow, shaking her head with a low, knowing chuckle. Then, she proceeded toward the toy distribution area.
Their group, predominantly female, filed into the VIP restroom. Debbie shot Diana a sidelong glance, her smirk earning a subtle smile from Lauda.
Amidst the chaos, Diana's sharp instincts remained on high alert. She noticed two EAE Intelligence agents attempting to blend in, disguising themselves among the crowd to continue tailing Suzanna and her entourage.
Diana discreetly signaled the two men handling the toys, and they nodded in understanding. Confirming the plan was in motion, Diana slipped out of the airport, confident the first phase of the operation was complete, while keeping a watchful eye on the agents tracking Suzanna's group.
Just as Diana slipped away, chaos exploded around her. One of the men began hurling toys, sparking chaos. The airport's cacophony intensified as the crowd stampeded toward the scattered toys.
The sudden turmoil hindered the two EAE Intelligence agents, making it challenging for them to maneuver.
Seizing the opportunity, one of the men swooped up a batch of toys and rushed toward the female EAE Intelligence agent. He persuasively urged her to collect them, momentarily distracting her.
The diversion allowed Suzanna and her entourage to slip away to the restroom, evading the EAE Intelligence agents' surveillance.
Within the restroom's plush confines, Suzanna and her entourage can now regroup. "The toys were just a decoy," Debbie fully relaxed, whispered via her earpiece, "Our real objective remains secure."
Lauda also fully relaxed, nodded knowing they are done with the first phase of the mission. "Ensure our exit strategy remains intact. We can't let EAE compromise the remaining part of this operation."
Meanwhile, the toy chaos continued outside, a clever smokescreen for Diana and her team smooth operation.
