Love, Guns And Everything In Between

The London deal (1)

The soft sounds of classical music resounded in the hall from the classical band that played their instruments on the elevated stage.

The hall was filled with elegant dressed people and with one glance one could tell that everyone here held some form of influence in the modern world.

This party was suppose to be a chance for the specially invited guests of the London fashion show you interact before the show started later tonight.

Diana walked in through the doors after passing the security clearance from the bouncers outside. She wore a flowing red dress that was tight enough to show her beautiful curves and all her splendor.

Once she entered the hall, every eye turned to her. She looked so beautiful that the hall had literally paused for a moment before everything returned to normal later.

She began to walk around until she was stopped by a TV presenter who wanted to interview her and she agreed.

"With me now is Mrs Diana Cain, CEO of Jurong beauty and one of the sponsors of the fashion show.", The presenter said, "What are your expectations today?"

"I expect nothing but the best. I'm prepared to be blown away.", Diana responded with a beautiful smile.

"So do we all. On a side note though, you look absolutely stunning!", The presenter said while admiring her dress.

"All thanks to my designer.", Diana said with a twirl.

"You surely dressed to impress.", The presenter noted.

They talked for about a minute before the presenter bidded Diana farewell. Diana walked over to the bar and ordered a shot of tequila which she took in one gulp. She was going to need it for what they were about to do today.

"Secondary target spotted.", Diana heard a voice say from the tiny ear piece in her right ear that was also concealed by her hair.

Diana quickly glanced around and she found the "secondary target", Galliard Devon. He was one of the most influential persons in the United Kingdom and the organiser of the London fashion show.

The moment he walked through the doors, he was immediately swarmed by the countless television channels' representatives that were sent to cover the show.

It took a while, but he was able to do an interview with every one of them. After the interviews, Galliard immediately spotted Diana, which was a hard thing to not do since she was arguably the most beautiful person here.

"Well well, if it isn't Diana Cain. You look as stunning as ever.", Galliard said when he reached Diana.

Diana smiled in response and Galliard took her hand and gave it a light kiss.

"What are you doing out here?, We have a special VIP area down the hall.", Galliard asked.

"I want to properly socialize with your guests.", Diana replied with a smile.

"If that is the case then who am I to stop you.", Galliard said with a slight laugh.

The "secondary target", Galliard Devon, was someone that they had been keeping tabs on for a long while now.

While in the public's eyes, Galliard might look like your average successful buisness man, he had been both indirectly and directly involved in more that 80% of the drugs deals that happened in Europe! He was the biggest European drug cartel!

Even though the British intelligence agencies knew that Galliard was involved in these things, they had never been able to find evidence that was convicting enough to put him behind bars for a long time so he still roamed free.

About two years ago, information that was garnered by the CIA suggested that Mr Galliard here was trying to get in contact with the Apostles. And everyone knew that any relationship with those two could only mean one thing, another one of the biggest drug sales in the world was going to happen!

The CIA quickly contacted the MI6 and everything was being put into place. The two intelligence agencies decided to use this as an opportunity to catch the both of them!

Since the beginning of the era of the Apostles, no one has ever caught a single member. Even though this operation might not let them catch the leader of the apostles, they would at least be able to finally get a lead.

Diana who had been an undercover agent for the past thirteen years in an operation to know more about the apostles, was chosen to oversee this mission. She had already established herself in the public's eyes as a successful CEO in the world of beauty so for that and many other reasons, she was chosen to do this.

Now, Diana had been involved with Kelvin J. Gregory for years. He was her mission. The intelligence agencies in the world had noticed that anytime the Apostles made a move that was contrary to their usual habits, Kelvin was always involved. It was anybody's guess that Kelvin must be connected to them in one way or the other.

Because of this, Kelvin had already been marked a high level suspect to be a member of the apostles and because of his standing in society and the fact that all they had against him were just simple conspiracies, there was nothing the agencies could do.

Early this year, the agencies had found out that Mr Galliard had established contact with the Apostles and they were going to make the trade off at a place of Galliard's choosing that would then be agreed upon by saint Jude, the leader of the apostles.

This was all they wanted. They began to put everything in action since that day. The CIA even began to notice that there had been suspicious movements from the Gregory cooperation. Multiple cargos had been authorized to leave and enter the company more times than last year.

While others would say that maybe they were just exporting and importing more, the CIA had Kelvin on high alert and the fact that his company was making unusual moves made them look into it more than necessary.

Although it was not that solid, the CIA found some connecting evidence that placed the Gregory cooperation in a spot in the world of drug sales! This was huge for everybody!

So connections were drawn that Kelvin was actually a member of the Apostles. The theories even sounded more solid when Kelvin "unknowingly" confirmed to Diana that he would be in London on the exact same day that the trade off between the Apostles and Mr Galliard Devon was suppose to happen!

Now, here they were, the CIA and the MI6 conducting a joint mission to bring down two of the biggest thorns in the flesh of every agency in the world.

"Why don't you come with me, let me take you backstage to get a first glance at the dresses that would be displayed later today.", Galliard suggested.

"It would be my pleasure.", Diana answered with a smile.

"All agents be adviced, primary target has arrived. I repeat, primary target has arrived.", Diana heard a voice say from her earpiece.

At that moment, she turned to the door to see Kelvin walking in along with Gary, Steve, his personal bodyguard, and multiple men dressed in black suits.

Kelvin wore a light blue tuxedo, that one could tell from a single glance, was very expensive. Gary who stood by his side wore a Louis Vuitton designer black suit and held a briefcase.

They both spotted Diana and Gary glanced at Kelvin only to see that his facial expression remained indifferent.

"Go finish the job.", Kelvin said, "Me and the boys will handle the rest."

Gary nodded and signalled at the men behind him and about ten of them followed him to an unknown location as they passed through one of the doors in the hall.
