"So even if we can double Wistrom and Moreau, how do we keep them in separate rooms, or having them think they're in the same room?" Brandt questioned, trying to find the logic in the plan we had set. In truth, I had wondered that too, but I kept quiet about it, not wanting to make it seem like I didn't know anything.
Instead, I watched the passing desert go by from the Jeep we got, listening to Ethan's response. "We give the hotel a facelift. Wistrom will think he's arriving at Moreau's suite, but really, he'll be walking into our decoy room."
"Where I'll double Moreau," Jane cut in.
"Downstairs, Benji will double Wistrom-," Ethan started before Benji cut him off.
"Masks!"
"And meet with the real Moreau."
"And uh... what am I doing?" Brandt asked.
"Yeah, what are we doing?" I echoed, looking at Ethan from where I was sitting in the passenger seat.
Benji looked up from his laptop. "You? You're the helpers!" He told us, looking back down at his laptop.
I scoffed. "Helper. That's... great," I muttered, crossing my arms. I could feel Ethan giving me a side eye, but I ignored it.
"Okay, so to the extent I understand what you're talking about here..." Brandt started, moving on to a new subject. Ethan looked back at him through his sunglasses in the rear view mirror, giving him a cocky smirk. "The Burj Khalifa, it's the tallest building in the world, and you want to alter its infrastructure with the hopes of convincing two people that they've had a meeting which actually really never happened. Right?"
Ethan just gave him a smirk, but his cockiness made him take his eyes off the road. Luckily I didn't because I saw the camels right in the middle of it.
"Uhhh..." I pointed to the road, and Ethan slammed on the breaks. His arm instinctively went in front of me to shield me in case I hit the dash.
Once Ethan got control of the car, I raised my brows at him. He just shrugged a bit. "Camels." I rolled my eyes at him, and proceeded to continue staring out the window at the never ending scenery that never changed.

Once we arrived at the Burj Khalifa, looking all cool in our shades might I add, we quickly checked in and made our way to our hotel room.
It was a spacious suite; if only we were here under different circumstances. The men started unpacking the bags and setting up because Jane had to go get the disguise. I hung towards the back, not wanting to be in the way.
"Okay, 34 minutes to doorknock," Brandt said, setting a time up on his phone and leaning it against Benji's laptop.
"Wow, um..." Benji started, clearing his throat. Great, now what?
