The silence was very suffocating but it was shortened as Julian came out of the kitchen to announce that dinner was ready.
We all sat at the table eating in silence. The earlier tension still clear in the air. Even Mike who was usually a chatterbox at the table was extremely quiet.
Guess the situation is really aggravating. I just hope they solve it soon.
I looked at everyone as they ate, they were all in a sour mood. Jeez! This wasn't how I envisioned a night with a full house. I have to do something to lighten the mood.
"aaahh, why the long faces guys? " they all looked at me with confused looks as if expecting me to say more. So I did,
"it's a good thing the guy was caught right?"
"yes, it was " Julian started, so why the long faces?!
"but the damages has been done "
"what damage?"

The next morning I woke up to the sun burning almost blinding me. I stood up from my bed to close the curtains and almost stumbled upon my feet.Harry was sleeping in a bent position with his knee up to his chin and he was cuddling his pillow. I found it kinda cute but wait! He was still sleeping by this time?! How tired he must have been. Since I didn't want to wake him, I carefully shut the door after me then went to the kitchen to get water. Today was my off day so I decided that I was going to spend the day with the other guys and Harry.I was still sipping from the glass when Conny walked. Conny was a lot like me, quite and introverted. He was the polar opposite of the elder brother Mike. "good morning " I greeted him. "good morning " he greeted back then opened the fridge to take a bottle of water. He sat

"where are you going? ""to get more info ""I'm coming with you " We both left our hideout and walked towards the Excalibur building. We were disguised so we wouldn't have to face the problem of being recognized. We walked towards a group of talking men. "ah excuse me sirs " they turned to look at us. "what! " one of the guys spat. "ah, we were supposed to deliver a package to a Mr Siffredi " Conny said bringing out a parcel. Wow, he can't up with something fast, And Mr Siffredi? It took all the

After Conny finished giving his report, the others gave theirs too and then we ate dinner. After eating dinner, we deliberated and devised a plan on how to trap our spy then we all went to bed. The next morning, we were up and ready to put our plan into action. We ate breakfast, which Julian never let's us miss, he says it's bad to start a day on an empty stomach, and then went over the plan again. The plan was or is for me and Jeff, who is a computer wiz, to get into the warehouse database and get the spy's info. Then we'll interrogate him. Simple, isn't it?Yeah. So right now, me, Jeff and Julian were walking into the warehouse while Nico, Mike, Harry and Conny were in a van across the street.When we entered the building, Jeff and I went straight for the control room while Julian went to the operating area.

"I-I work for Excalibur! " he confessed."wow, you must like your life so much don't you? " the interrogator asked sarcastically before pulling a pocket knife and inching it closer to Blake's face. Time moved really slow as he did that. "that's enough Edgar..." Nico stopped the interrogator before he could put the blade on poor Blake. "...I think he's had enough " he finished then signalled for a guy to bring him a chair and he sat in front of Blake, eyeball to eyeball. "listen Blake, I need you to tell me everything you've been dishing out to Excalibur " he said to Blake with a dead serious tone. "I-I c-can't tell you " Blake said shaking like a leaf. "I don't think you understand me Blake. I'm going to get it out of you either way. But I'm offering you the easy way. You tell me on your own or my boys with force it out of you and trust me, they don't take ki
Time to grow Blake
Since Blake was caught and made to work for us, it would be unwise to let him stay alone. After all, we know that Excalibur would definitely want to take him out because he snitched on them, so we thought it would be safer for him if he stayed where we could watch him.And since Edgar and his boys and some other of the gang members refused to take him under their roof, we had no choice but to take him under our roof.Nico said he was actually quite relieved that he ended up under our care because he felt we would protect him better than the others. He also thought it would be a good opportunity for us to keep an eye on him in case he ever thinks about betraying us.Also I asked Harry about the symbol and he confessed that we were really a gang but not the typical gangs out there which deals in drugs, theft and other shits like that. We only deal in making and sell

That night, when the others came back, they gave details of the plan to take down Excalibur and we went over the formation over dinner.In two days time, we were going to strike the warehouse that Blake, Conny and I had been scouting. I was nervous as hell. I was going for another mission but this mission was on a whole different level. It was nothing like the scouting missions I'd grown fond of. This was going to involve some bloody scenes.We all went to bed early because we were all going to get the weapons needed for this mission.Yeah, I said we because they included me. I've never touched a gun in my entire life and now they want me to fire one? Though Harry said he was going to teach me how to fire a gun tomorrow.Honestly, I didn't think I was going to need a gun. Afterall, I was going to be on surveillance with Jeff and Blake, but then Harry

The D-day has finally arrived. The day we take down Excalibur for good. The nervousness I had suppressed the whole of yesterday came flooding back.The events of yesterday was so exhilarating that I had almost forgotten the nervousness of today's mission.After picking out our weapons yesterday, Harry and I left to the warehouse. He took me to an abandoned park. He said most of the men in la rinascita came there to practice and train.We practised using empty cans and bottles as targets. It took me four hours of training to be able to hit a target without missing. The first three hours was a complete mess, but I later got the hang of it. I still missed some though but Harry said with more practice I would be better.I was full of energy when he praised me, I felt like I could do this but now I don't feel so good. I don't think I'll be able to shoot another human like myself.<
