Terzo helps me put my luggage in the boot of the car, ontop of everyone elses.

I'm still in my pyjamas since I decided to sleep during the journey to Milan. I can't be asked to change into some proper clothes.

I look back at the cruise. It's been fun, but now things get serious.

I get in the back with Zoya and Alora, Lorenzo's driving with Amira next to him.

We follow the black Range Rover that Vittoria is in leading us to the hotel room.

'Who am I sharing a room with?' I ask.

'Vittoria's rented out the whole fifth floor of the hotel.' Zoya explains. 'We all get a suite each.'

That's amazing.

'Significantly, it's the same hotel that the leader of The Demons will be at, the one you need to assassinate.' Amira explains. 'It's convenient for us and it's right opposite the ballroom.'

'It's a win win.' Alora says.

'Are there going to be people to help me?' I ask.

'Yeah, if you take too long in there are a bunch of people from the mafia that will come get you.' Alora replies.

'We're not going to let anything happen to you.' Zoya says. 'I'll promise you that.'

We drive in silence for a while after that, until Lorenzo decides to turn the volume up on the radio.

Taki Taki by DJ Snake, Cardi B, and Selena Gomez comes on the radio.

Cardi B starts rapping and I join her.

'If the text ain't freaky I don't wanna read it.' I say. 'And just to let you know this punani is undefeated.'

'He said he really wanna see me more.' Zoya continues. 'I said we should have a date, where? At the Lamborghini store.'

'I'm kinda scary, hard to read I'm like a Ouija board.' Amira raps. 'But I'm a boss bitch, who you gonna leave me for?'

'You hoes got no class, you bitches is broke still,' I rap. 'I'll be takin cash while poppin my gold frill.'

'I'm a hoe rich bitch and I work like I'm broke still,' Alora continues.

'But they love me so fake, but they hate me so real!' We all say in sync.

I start rapping the Spanish bit, with Lorenzo, Amira, Alora and Zoya hyping me up.

I takes half an hour more for us to find the hotel. We get to park in the private area, there are a bunch of body guards who escort us in.

'Head to your suites, I'll book us in.' Vittoria says, coming out of her car.

We walk to the counter and the man hands us our room keys.

The bodyguards take our suitcases and follow us to the fifth floor. The elevator is huge and had white marble flooring with gold bits. It also has a nice big mirror in it.

The elevator dings, letting us know that we've reached our floor.

I look down at my key card and see the number 35.

'Could I have my suitcase?' I ask on of the bodyguards.

'Yes Ma'am,' he replies.

He hands me both my suitcases and I nod my head in thanks.

I unlock my room and walk in, closing the door behind me and putting my suitcases down.

There's a double bed with velvet sheets in the middle, the walls and ground have tiles all over them.

The window is huge and leads out to a balcony, the bathroom is medium sized with a big, circular mirror.

My phone rings.

'Hello,' I reply, answering it.

'Vittoria wants us downstairs now,' Zoya says.

'I'll be right there,' I reply.

She ends the call and I make my way downstairs.

**************
Vittoria has us in this spare room that the hotel gave us. It has a long table but no chairs so we all have to stand up.

There are cases filled with different types of guns, knives and other weapons.

'Entering the ball, there will be security checks,' Vittoria explains. 'But don't be fooled at least everyone would've snuck in a weapon.'

'We need the weapons that are able to go undetected or can be hidden.' Amira explains.

A bodyguard walks up to me, holding a red box and opens it up.

'As you can see there, it looks like a beautiful hair piece,' Amira says. 'But it's truly a poisonous dart.'

'That is what you shall use to kill the leader of The Demons.' Vittoria says.

Take the USB from the leader of The Ravens and kill the leader of The Demons.

Great.

'It will be disguised in your hair, and if you get stopped, it will only look like a hair pin,' Amira continues. 'They won't suspect a thing.'

'What about the guns?' Terzo asks.

'Luckily, we managed to get an inside man who works for head of security.' Vittoria says. 'You all remember Jake?'

Oh yeah, the blonde bodyguard with half his head shaved.

We all nod our heads.

'We managed to make him head of security, and he'll be able to help us with the guns and knives.' She says.

The bodyguard in front of me, hands me the box.

This is getting real.

Tomorrow night is when things either go greatly, or terribly wrong.

'Zoya, I want you to apply Dilara's tattoo to her when you go upstairs.' Vittoria says.

'Yes boss,' Zoya replies.

'All of you can go, except Alessandro, Alora and Amira.'

We all exit the room and Zoya follows me back to my suite.

'Let me have a shower first and then we can do the tattoo,' I explain.

'I need to freshen up too, give me a ring when you're done.' She says.

She leaves my room, and I get the shower ready.
