"Leonid, wait," Amelia called after him.Leonid wasn't ready to listen to her; he walked into a room and locked the door. Amelia banged on the door."Hey! You can't ignore me. Fine, I'm sorry. I just wanted to go with you."Leonid chuckled as he heard those words. He glanced around the room; his eyes were drawn to the luxurious surroundings. The bed was tucked in a corner of the room, and there was a large glass window through which he could see a pool.He completely forgot about Amelia, who was banging on his door, and he jumped onto the bed, falling asleep, engrossed in its comfort.By the time he woke up, it was already dark. He rubbed his eyes as he got off the bed and headed to the bathroom. Turning on the lights, he splashed water on his face and stared at his reflection in the mirror. Even though he had cut his hair shorter, it was still long. He grinned and turned away from the mirror.After changing into something casual, he opened his door. He suddenly remembered that he had
They spent a couple of days in the sea, playing different games and exploring different parts of the yacht. Soon they were in Venice, Italy. The yacht came to a halt, and they all ascended. Cars were lined up waiting for them."Are these all ours?" Amelia asked.Viktor nodded. "We have to get to the base and have some food and a nap before investigating anything."Leonid frowned at him. "We just finished eating, and we are not wasting any more time. When we get to the base, we start."Viktor shook his head. "Okay, it's not a big deal. I just thought you might be overwhelmed by the stress.""I am not. Can we go now?"Viktor led the way to the car; the men standing beside the car opened the door for them to enter. Satan and the rest took one car, while Leonid, Amelia, and Viktor took another. Viktor was driving with Leonid beside him, and Amelia sat in the back."The base is pretty big, located on the Amalfi Coast. When was the last time you've been here?" Viktor inquired."I don't reme
The building was magnificent, and Viktor explained all the important things as they walked through the passageway. Leonid tried really hard to keep his mind and listen, but the beauty of the environment made him distracted. Viktor pushed open the door and stepped in. Leonid glanced around and followed suit.Reaper, Saint, and Anger walked in, and the door went closed."This is the room where the key was placed." Viktor said. "It was placed in the vault, but someone took it out."The room was bright, and there were monitors lined up in the corners of the room. There was a large table in the center of the room, and there was a large transperant vault on the table. Leonid walked over to it and glanced at it; there were no spaces on the vault for someone to be able to take something from."How is that possible?" Leonid asked. "The vault is locked."Viktor nodded. "We have also thought of the same thing."Leonid glanced around the room, judging from the computers. There should have been a
The search for the necklace was not an easy one, after several minutes of searching. Viktor found the necklace under the large table. He pulled it out and handed it to Leonid. Leonid held it in his hands and glanced at it."This is the necklace; who is going to take me to Michelle?"Viktor glanced at the rest. "We are all going together; no one is going to be left behind."Leonid put on the necklace and pushed it into his shirt. He opened the first five buttons on his shirt to make sure the necklace was visible."That's okay; making the necklace visible is great." Anger said. "But like what I said earlier, if she is the one, she is not going to be so dumb.""We have to try something," Saint muttered."Of course, we can't sit back and do nothing." Reaper supported."Well, if you have a better idea, you could at least share it with us." Viktor uttered. "Stop keeping it to yourself."Anger threw up his hands. "I don't have any suggestions; let's try yours first, and we can come up with s
"How long have you been working here?" Leonid questioned.She glanced at him. "Seven years, why, boss?"They were walking towards the cars, and her heels were clicking on the floor. Anger and Saint stared at her with confused looks on their faces."Millie, you don't act like a nerd here," Saint pointed out.She glanced at him and flashed him a smile. "That? It was just undercover work. Sonia couldn't guess either, just like everyone else.""You better not be the one who stole the key," Anger muttered. "Because if you try to escape, you'll regret it."Michelle rolled her eyes at him. "Let's make a bet. If I turn out to be the woman, I'll give you a thousand bucks. But if I am not the woman, you'll give me ten thousand bucks."Anger's brows furrowed. "We can't bet like that. Why not make the wager the same?""It's of no use; you will still be proven wrong. I wonder who would try to frame me by wearing my necklace," Michelle said. "After stealing my necklace, she had the guts to try to fr
"You mean the young Miss?" Saint questioned.Leonid nodded. "Am I married to anyone but her?""Your wife isn't a trained boss; she is not suitable for it." Michelle uttered.Leonid glanced at Viktor, who seemed to be thinking about it."My wife hasn't been in Italy and has not been seen around. You said we needed someone who hasn't been seen around the place, and my wife has not been seen.""You're putting her in danger." Viktor said. "She can't fight or defend herself, and if the thief gets her, there's nothing she can do about it.""We can send someone to go with her." Reaper suggested. "The young miss is suitable for the spot; we just have to find someone to go with her.""And who is that?" Viktor asked. "We have no other woman."They heard a grunt from the front door, and in a swift motion, guns appeared in everyone's hand, except Leonid. Leonid's eyes widened."Geez, I wasn't expecting that."He looked toward the door and found Amelia standing there. She was putting on a long bla
"I can't cross-dress!" Satan snapped. "I am a man with muscles, and crossdressing is an insult to my body. I am not some skinny guy that would go unnoticed if he crossdressed." Amelia turned her head to look at him. "Yeah, you are too huge to crossdress, but you are the only one that I trust to go with me." Satan's eyes were widened by what she said. He scratched his neck nervously. "Saint is as trustworthy as me." He pulled Saint closer to himself by the shoulder. "Right twin?" Amelia shook her head. "I like your rakish appearance better. It scares away the bad guys faster." Saint chuckled. "Too bad you tried to get her to choose me but failed." "Now back to who is going with you; who are we going to use?" Leonid asked. "You suggested that you could go alone and someone would watch over you." "What about we go in as husband and wife?" Amelia suggested it again. Viktor shook his head. "Leonid has a part to play; he can't go with you." "I wasn't talking about Nid." Amelia retort
When they reached the party, Satan opened the car door for her, and she clung to his arm. Smiling sweetly at him, they walked into the party like a happy couple. Several guests admired Amelia's dress as she entered the party."Ciao (Hello)," Satan greeted them, offering them a warm smile."You have a beautiful wife," a woman complimented in Italian."Thank you," Satan replied.Amelia glanced at them. "What did she say?""You don't understand, do you?" Satan asked.Amelia shook her head. "I don't."Satan led her to a large table at the side of the room. He offered her a chair, and she sat down, her gaze trailing around the room, as did his. Forgetting that he had not answered her previous answer, she asked another question."Do you think she might show up?" Amelia asked. "The party looks pretty normal."Satan peered at her. "Of course, it's a normal party, and you have to keep an eye on everyone. I will move around and try to find any suspicious-looking men. You can stay here or find s
