They all looked up at the moonlit sky with different thoughts in their minds.
“What are those bugs doing?” Knife said, watching them not far from the tree.
“Thinking about what’ll be their fate during the mission” Nightingale replied beside her.
“You don’t smell death on anyone?, Seems you’re pretty good at smelling bad things” Bullet said, and she rolled eyes at him.
“Of course, I smell it on you” she said, and he laughed.

ESCOBAR’S MANSION**
After crying for as long as he wanted, Escobar left the mansion and made his way to Romanio’s.
He met him smoking in front of his mansion, and he smiled widely.
“Godfather” he said surprisingly, and he came closer to hug him.
“Godfather, is everything ok?” He asked.
“I wanted to do this” Escobar replied, breaking the hug.
“Let’s go in” Romanio said.
“No, I saw you , that’s enough” he smiled, patting his shoulder.
He started looking him in the eye, making Romanio wonder why.
“What if Smoke is not the real father of you and Rosa?, How would you feel?” He asked, and Romanio scrunched up his face.
“What do you…mean?”
“Forget it Roma, I’m feeling sleepy” Escobar replied and gave him another pat before walking away.
“What the hell” Romanio said suspiciously.

NEXT DAY★ DEEP FOREST**
The three have been hiding in a deep pit since last night, they actually fell on while running away from the dangerous animals, and they decided to stay there for the fear of getting eaten by them.
“Why are there so many dangerous animals in here?” Beryl asked ignorantly.
“Haven’t you heard of haunted forest before?” Catalyst asked over his bottle of alcohol.
“No”
“Everyone in Italy knows about it, the door was made by an alien, and once come in through the door, you have to go out within one hour, else you’ll get stuck inside like us” Leenox replied.
“We’re in Italy?” Beryl’s eyes widened.
Leenox and Catalyst exchanged glances.
“Yes!, I can finally meet my brothers!” She shouted.
“Let’s come out first” Catalyst replied.
“But I’m still so happy!, Yay!!!!” Beryl started jumping up in the thin hole till her foot turned on the ground and she almost fell.
Leenox grabbed her waist, and her eyes widened when he held her still.
“Fool” he said, letting go of her.
“I’m…. sorry” she said slowly.
Catalyst smiled slowly, staring at his bottle.

FALCONS EMPIRE★5PM**
The black Audi drove gently into the underground park and Pierce came out of the driver’s seat.
A new face descended the car afterwards, she has a fierce unfriendly look as she hovered her eyes around the park.
“Welcome back Cat” Pierce said, and she faced him.
She didn’t reply before walking in, Pierce smiled and followed her in, and mobsters started gathering.
? Who’s she?
? Hellcat obviously
? Füçk, Lawrence is the real deal
? Acid bather
Different comments hit her ears as she walked, but she pretended not to hear them all till she came across Mary.
Mary stopped walking immediately she saw her, and they started staring at each other intently.
“Is this a staring competition or what?” Nightingale said.
Mary stopped staring and walked away, but something fell from her.. the pin.
Before she could take it, Hellcat took it.
“My pin!” She said, looking at it like a long lost treasure.
“It’s…yours?” Mary smirked with a dark smile.

ITAEWON IN KOREA★8PM**
Romanio landed since an hour ago, and he has been roaming the silent and less crowded places for any sign of Preet.
He knows not her face, but Sakura said her natural body scent is berry according to Kira.
She has a strong berry scent and is always on hoodie with a backpack, so he’s searching with that.
He started with the sauna houses, then shacks and homeless kids houses.
After searching the last sauna in itaewon, he came out and pulled off his face cap, then he sat in front of it and got his phone to call Rosario, but someone snatched it from him and ran off.
“Sh|t!” He spat and started running after the person.
Whoever it is is surely a good runner, cos it can’t really be called running, it’s flying.
“F*cking stop!!” He shouted, but the race only doubled, and he kept chasing till they got to a dead end, he was able to grab her and flip her over his shoulder, she landed down.
“F*ck!, Be gentle I’m a girl!” She yelled, sitting up slowly.
berry flooded Romanio’s nose immediately, and his eyes widened when he noticed she’s wearing a hoodie.
He quickly took the hoodie away from her head, and his eyes widened for the second time when he saw her face.
She’s exactly like Mary, no difference!, None at all!
“Preet Kay” he said shockingly.
“Romanio Gambino, finally you found me, you’re a smartass” she said and stood.
“Wow, you run like a cheetah, can’t believe you caught me, no one has ever done that” she said, bringing out the decoder.
“I’ve been untraceable because of this, made by my doppelganger” she smiled.
“Madonna is… Preet Marcus?” He said slowly, and Preet Kay smiled slowly before becoming serious.
“She’s not in her right senses cos my father had her memory wiped, but I can assure you that right now, Rosario is in danger” she replied, and Romanio’s eyes widened again.
He snatched his phone from her to call Rosario.
“I’m sure she’d have disabled the empire network right now, she’s a computer genius like me…in fact she’s more brilliant” Preet Kay said, but Romanio tried Rosario’s line all the same.
It’s not reachable at all.
“Rosario is dead, there’s no antidote for the poison” she smiled.

FALCONS EMPIRE★ROSARIO’S MANSION.
Mary entered the bathroom for her night shower and stood in front of the mirror after turning the faucets, then she smiled, but she noticed her eyes look whiter than before like Rosario said
She waved it off and took off her rosary, she pressed a small invisible button and waited for a minute.
“Preet” Enzo’s voice said slowly.
“Boss” she replied.
“Percent?” Enzo asked
“80, almost done” she replied.
“Make it click 90 today, tommorow is the final attack yunno” Enzo said.
“Yes boss” she said and pressed the same button, then she got one of the rosary eggs before wearing the rosary again, she took her shower and left the bathroom.
She put on a seductive nightie and left the room for the cellar where she got a bottle of brandy, she opened it and threw the rosary egg into it, then she got a cup and walked to the living room where Rosario was standing.
He has been trying to ring Romanio but it’s not working, and he was about to go get brandy when Mary came in with it.
Without saying anything, he took it from her and emptied it into the cup before bringing it to his lips.
Mary folded her fists as she watched him take a sip, her body started shaking as he prepared to swallow it,…
Her whole head was screaming no..no! No!!!!!!!
She suddenly held his face and crashed her lips on his own, making the brandy in his mouth pour directly into hers
Rosario’s eyes widened, and Mary broke the kiss to swallow the brandy.
“Maddona…
“I love you so much Ross” she whispered, hugging him tightly as tears escaped her eyes.
“I love you”
