Halo

III

"Kind of you to grace us with your presence, Hollywood." Elio muttered as I walked into the main building. 

Elio was the third part of the trio. Nico, Elio, and I  met at the Art school in France and were recruited to MI6 when we turned eighteen, three years ago. From then on we got dubbed the Bond trio because we basically go out off the record and do things we don't want to public to find out about. 

"So, what's the deal?" I asked. 

"We are doing an investigation into some of the drivers. The FIA wants some background checks done and since your brother is part of F1 you are the perfect officer for the job." A cold voice said from behind me. 

"Hello, M." I smirked. 

"If you keep calling me that..." Maximillian trailed off. Max, not to be mixed up with Max Verstappen, is the director of our division in clandestine. 

"Max, I thought we promised not to bring this part of me close to people I know." I hissed. "Plus this is an entry-level job."

"I want my best officer in the field. I told you it's hard to maintain friendships, I mean look what happened with To–"

"She'll kill you if you say his name." Nico cut in before the situation escalated. 

"I'll continue doing your dirty work, but you owe me!"

"I pay you millions of dollars, is that not enough?" Max snapped. 

I strode over to Max so I was up close in his face. "You and I both know that's dirty money your funneling to me. You'll do well to remember I made you sign a paper that protects me if your little side business gets out. I wonder how they would reward me if I was to come out with this fact." I whispered. 

"Who's they?" He asked. 

I just smirked at Max before walking away to the car waiting to take us to where ever we are staying. Elio and Nico jumped in the Land Rover after me and soon we were off toward an extremely familiar place in London. Elio began chuckling, while Nico let out an exclamation of joy while I rolled my eyes as we pulled up to the house. 

"Not, one word." I hissed as I moved out of the car and walked up to the door before pulling out my key to the house. Lewis' house actually, that I sometimes crash whenever I'm in London. Of course, inside was like a Formula 1 shrine. 

"Woah! There's even a picture of you!" Elio exclaimed. 

There was a small picture barely noticeable on the gallery wall with Nico Rosberg, Lewis, and I hanging out at the beach in Monaco. I was on Nico's shoulder's and I was around 14 or fifteen years old. It was around that time when their friendship went to shambles around 2014. 

Lewis and I were actually pretty close friends back then because I was seeking an older brother figure and he stepped up to his role. Where it went wrong was actually what made the Rosberg-Hamilton rivalry. I took Nico's side partly out of anger toward Lewis and of course that made him even more aggravated when I publicly defended Nico instead of Lewis. 

Then 2016 happened and it exploded in our faces. Nico left, but I remained friends with him and he is actually an investor in my company while Lewis and I stopped all forms of communication in till mid-2018. Now we are all settled down, but I think it would be nice if I could get the two drivers to be friends again or at the bare minimum have a civil conversation. 

"You have to friends named Nico!" Nico exclaimed while Elio and I rolled our eyes at him. 

"Nevermind that, it  is 3:00 am and you have to be on a flight to Montreal at 8:00 am so you can set up before the drivers arrive." 

"Well, you can pick any room you want to sleep in and I'm going out." I muttered before slipping out of the back door and going to the backyard where I picked up my phone to make a call to brother from another mother. 

"Stella! Are you okay? Did something happen? Why are you in London? Do you need me to come there now? Talk to me!!!" Nico exclaimed. 

"Britney! I'm fine, just wanted to talk to you.' I chuckled.

Nico sighed. "You guessed right. Now, what is bothering you?" 

"Would you be able to travel with me from June 1 to December 1st?" I asked nonchalantly. 

"Yes! I've always wanted to go on a trip with a sister and now I can. I'm sure my family will understand." He exclaimed. "Where are we going?" 

"Maximillian is putting me on some investigation into the drivers. So from Canada to Abu Dhabi, I'll be traveling with their circus. I thought you would make it more bearable since Nico and Elio will be in Paris taking care of the S.H. Phoenix." I explained. 

"You should've led with that." He muttered. 

"You would have said no...anyway a plane will be ready for you on May 28." 

"You are a very lucky girl Hollywood." Nico joked. "If that's everything, I'm going to sleep since I have to make preparations for this little trip." 

"Goodnight Nico." I whispered. 

"Goodnight Stella." 

After we hung up I stared at the stars and soon sleep overcame me.
