Megan and Jack were in a briefing meeting with the agents of Scavenger Organization, who had been working diligently to gather the data from both Clemensdale and Aspenhurst. The room was filled with a tense silence as the agent was speaking, his voice steady as he detailed the findings. "We have dug into the Giorgio family's past dealings, and it appears there was a mysterious death linked to—""Excuse me! I'll be right back." Megan's voice cut through the room abruptly. She stood up, clutching her phone tightly, her fingers covering the screen as if to shield it from prying eyes. The soft chime of a received text message had interrupted the agent, and Megan had used the opportunity to excuse herself.Jack watched her leave, his eyes narrowing slightly. But at this time, Jack's phone buzzed softly in his pocket. He discreetly pulled it out and glanced at the screen; it was a text message. His lips curled into a smirk, a small flicker of satisfaction crossing his face. He quickly

Amy immediately dropped the stick, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "I'm so sorry… and thank you so much for looking out for my daughter."Amy didn't know how to explain this to the caretaker, so she just thanked the park caretaker, who seemed a little taken by her sudden presence. The lady nodded, a bit confused but understanding, and Amy quickly turned to collect the kids. She didn't want to stay here a moment longer, as it was getting darker by the minute… and she didn't want to take any more risks for today."Are you okay sweetie? I'm sorry, I was with Dottie and didn't see when you fell down–""I'm okay mummy!"Anna smiled with genuine happiness in her eyes, but she noticed Amy's shaking hands."Mummy, what happened to you?"Amy hurriedly corrected her body language, at least to the extent she could. She fixed a smile on her face, saying;"Nothing, baby… I'm okay. I was just scared that you might be hurt.""I'm not hurt! I promise!"Amy smiled and took Anna's hand, walk

The meeting room was tense as the agents laid out their plan. Jack listened intently, his eyes scanning the faces around the table. Each agent gave their updates, detailing the blueprint of the venue, the CCTV footage they had obtained, and the disguises they would use to blend into the party.Toby added, "We have identified the best time and place for the hit. But we have mostly agreed on the details, except there is one crucial requirement: neither Megan, nor Jack can be the one to pull the trigger."Jack glanced at Megan, who gave a slight nod. He turned back to the group. "Agreed. We’ll handle the diversion, as we can’t risk being directly involved in the shooting. We’re already in the spotlight."The agents murmured their agreement, and then Cole stood up from his place to summarize the plan;"The only condition is that the agent will only shoot at Lucas after a proper distraction has been created in the form of a pre- planned chaos at the party. The chaos will begin with a s

The atmosphere in the restaurant had been perfectly pleasant, and the hum of conversation and the clinking of cutlery was flowing perfectly well with the soft tunes of Oriental music.Everything was so soothing that can urge anyone to have a closer look of the place and the same was going with the people sitting there, as they were sitting there peacefully, unknown from the hypocrisy going on there.Until the sudden, sharp sound of a fist meeting flesh echoed through the air, silencing everyone and drawing the attention towards the reception. People turned their heads, and eyes widened in surprise as they saw an imposing man standing over a fallen waiter, his fist still clenched, anger blazing in his eyes. Amy stood beside him, her hand clutched to her chest, looking both shocked and relieved.Till now, their argument had been going on without much notice; but the sudden chaos drew everyone's attention. A murmur rippled through the staff and diners alike, and one of the waiters quic

The Renaldi family's party was being held at La Chateau, one of the grand hotels they owned in the city. The venue had been transformed into the perfect example of opulence and elegance.There were larger than life ice sculptures, which had been placed throughout the property to welcome the guests. There were food fountains flowing with decadent chocolate and savory sauces, while there was a refined selection culinary delights from all over the world, adorning the tables. The guests were gathering in the hotel, mingling amongst themselves when the grand doors of the ballroom flew open. It was none other than Richi Renaldi, the center of attention for this party. The heir of the Renaldi family was flanked by his doting parents, who couldn't be more proud of their son. As soon as the hosts of the evening made an entrance; instantly, a throng of well- wishers gathered around them, eager to greet the family… of course, there were a number of people inquiring about the bride to be as wel
