The police sirens rang in my head as I closed my eyes, throwing my head back annoyed. Wasn't the police not supposed to come?
"Merda! Hurry up, lets get out of here." Valentino ordered as I heard Leo shuffle beside me, standing up. I felt a light tap on my head making me open my eyes tiredly as looked up at him.
"Come on Athena, stand up! We can't leave you here for the police to get." Leo said with worry as he nudged me with his foot.
"Or maybe we can." I heard Valentino whisper as I barely almost caught it.
"What is your problem?! Ever since I've been here, all you've done is be a big dick to me!" I said standing up.
"Me? and all you've done is be possessive over me!"
"What the fuck are you talking about?! I'm not being possessive! Fuck, I barely even know you and lets not forget the other night you said you wanted to get to know me!"
"Wait wha-?" Leo questioned turning to look at him but Valentino kept talking over him.
"Oh so were exposing each other now, huh? Well if were playing that game, you fucking plunged your dagger to the second triplet just because her lips were going to touch mine." He growled.
It angered me that he showed no sign of anger or that he was annoyed. He was responding smartly and calm. Calm, something I don't have right now. At this moment I just wanted to plunge my knife into his handsome and gorgeous fa-stop.
"I-what!? You know goddamn well you weren't going to just kiss her and don't even try to deny it because I heard you say it."
"You really think I was going to fuck her?" He paused taking a short intake of air and releasing it as he chuckled looking at me. "I was going to shoot her as soon as she touched my belt but you being you fucking shot her before she had the chance."
I bit the inside of my cheek trying to think of something to say in my defense but it was like all the words vanished from my head. The only thing I could think of was the pang of jealousy I felt when I saw her, running her hands down his body, him kissing her ferociously while he held her sides tightly, him whispering in her ear god knows what. What was happening to me?
I sighed accepting defeat as I looked at my soaked bra embarrassed. Never in my life, I've been that territorial with someone, especially a guy. Actually, this was my first time being like this. I've never been close to someone to actually care about them. Hell, I've never even talked to someone in my college. It was like everyone despised me but what I couldn't understand was that how could I feel like that towards Valentino if I wasn't even close to him. We don't even talk to much except from random arguments here and there.
It's probably the hatred you have towards him, Athena.
Yep, that sound about right.
But that doesn't explain why you were jealous...
Shut up.
A hand waved in front of my face making me back up. "Earth to Athena." Leo said still waving his hand in front of me. Suddenly, I felt like something in my body snapped as I rose my head and looked straight into Valentino's grey eyes. He rose an eyebrow and tilted his head in a challenging way and that act alone made me want to have his throat around my fingers, squeezing the life away from him, seeing his eyes lose their brightness and their color as his soul vanished from his body.

I let out a low chuckle as I walked forward towards him, he didn't move or flinch as I kept coming closer. "Let's get one thing fucking clear, I am not jealous." I paused chuckling as I clenched my fist. "If anything, I fucking despise you and I killed her because sooner or later we would've had to do it, so I just took off one task of our list. Be fucking grateful."
"If anything-" Valentino's angered voice spoke but a unfamiliar voice cut him off. The feminine voice was filled with mockery and pride.
"She's right, she took a life off your list." She paused as she walked out the door. Our way out. "But she also took a life from our list."
A woman's small frame stood in the doorway and her red hair was tightly kept in a pony tail as her brown eyes stared directly at the three of us. She had a gun pointed at me, while she held a victory smirk. No part of her body was uncovered. Her black uniform was slightly tight on her body but there was a squared imprint under her black dress shirt making the impression she had a bullet proof vest. She wasn't Russian, that was clear. If she wasn't from the Russians that only meant...
She reached for her pistol that was at her waistband and pointed it at me and just as Valentino was about to pull out his gun, she let out a mocked laugh making me narrow my eyes in furry.
"Do it. Point your gun at me." She said provoking Valentino. "Just know if you do, I'll blast her head."
Valentino was holding his gun tight debating in his head, he turned to look at me and than he looked back at her but his eyes narrowed into slits when he saw the letters on the cap she wore.
Valentino barked out a laugh, "Lies, if anything they need her, us, alive."
I couldn't do anything right now. I had no weapons and even if I tried hand to hand combat, she would have the upper hand, shooting me if I made a step.
I heard Leo, Kai and Valentino lift their guns and point it at her.
"Drop the gun, it's three against one." Leo said dropping his voice to a shockingly dark tone.
She smirked as she walked closer towards me, making me close my eyes waiting for her to come closer. I heard her steps stop in front of me. I opened my eyes and stared at her as she rose her hand and pressed the metal against my temple. I sighed rolling my eyes.
"Who said I came alone?" She taunted and as if on cue, three red dots appeared on each of their bodies making a small gasp want to escape my lips.
Suddenly a small dark chuckle escaped Valentino's lips as he held down his gun. The chuckle was anything but genuine, it was the type of laugh that made your insides turn in fear and scared to what's going to happen next.
"And who said I came alone?" He taunted back bolding out the 'I'. A small smirk rose to my lips as I understood what he meant. He came prepared as if he knew what was going to happen, he brought the Italian mafia.
As if on cue the red dots disappeared from their bodies, Valentino tilted his head as he rose his gun and aimed it at the woman. "See what I mean?"
Suddenly 9 thumps were heard behind us making me imagine the 9 snipers that were shot and fell to their deaths. Her brown eyes widened in surprise as she tried to reach her FBI walkie talkie. Key word: tried, she failed miserably as Leo quickly shot it when she reached for it on her side.

She let out a Yelp as she quickly retracted her hand.
"You know...you made a big mistake." I teased smiling. "Letting your pride take control and thinking you could capture us alone."
Her gun shook miserably in her hand in fear as I started walking to her. "Stay back." She warned but it came out trembling.
I stopped and crossed my hands over my chest as Valentino walked up beside me. "Yeah that's what we wanted too..." I replied.
"We wanted the FBI to stay back and mind their business but, not everyone gets what they want. Do they?" Valentino finished with a harsh tone as he clenched his fist beside him wanting nothing more than to shoot her between the eyes.
"And when you don't listen, there are consequences." Kai joined still having his gun raised aimed at her.
I hummed smirking, "Now, be a good girl and respond this question for me, okay?" I added raising my leg up in the air and kicking the gun from her hands and soon we heard a small splash in the pool beside us.
I didn't even let her reply as I shot out the question, "Where is your 'crew' located in this hotel, huh?"
Even with her trembling state, she didn't fail to let out a snarky comment, "What makes you think I'll tell you?" She slightly yelled.
Valentino growled beside me, "Considering your life is on thin ice, if I were you I would start speaking." He raised his gun as slightly jabbed it on her head as his finger was slightly pressed on the trigger.
She held out her hands in a surrending manner, "Okay!Okay! J-just don't shoot, please! The whole perimeter of the hotel is surrounded with FBI agents, unless the four of you can take down 200 agents there's no escape."
I sighed and ran a hand threw my hair as I walked towards a near by bench and sat down. This whole shit was crazy, there are literally 200 agents all over the hotel waiting for any moment to capture us, but if Valentino brought help then there's a huge chance we'll escape.
I slightly jumped when I heard a shot, I looked towards Valentino seeing smoke fly out the gun and as the woman layed on the floor as her body began to envelope with her blood. I looked up at him with a look that said, what-the-fuck-happened?
His eyes were held with anger but his lips held a small smile, "She tried to flirt her way out of this, let's just say she's not my type."
My eyebrows rose in disbelief and I shook my head.
"Let's get out of here." Kai suggested walking inside. I haven't kept track of time but I know for sure it was starting to get late. The sky was getting grey as the clouds started getting darker threatening to pour water on us.
We all ran inside making turns through the halls making sure to avoid any sign of agents scattered across the hotel. For now all we had to worry about were the ones outside but Valentino didn't even show any sign of distress or worry, he instead looked calm like if he had everything under control, maybe he does.
I noticed we weren't going through the same entrance but instead we were going through the back door. Valentino cautiously opened the blurred glass door and surprisingly 50 bodies were scattered on the ground. The cemented floor was completely covered in blood, it looked like someone grabbed a huge brush and dipped it in a can of blood and started painting the floor.
Standing proudly there was a brown straight haired girl with grey eyes that were full of mischief as she smirked proudly, beside her was a guy that had blonde hair, almost white. His eyes were an icy blue and his skin was pale and his cheeks were tinted in a slight pink. He also wore a smirk as he stood there with his arms crossed over his chest.
The bodies looked slightly burned and some parts were missing from the bodies. If I didn't know any better, I would say these bodies were bombed.
Valentino took sight of the bodies as he sighed rubbing his temples. "Was this necessary?" He exhaled.
The girl's smirk dropped and her face features turned into annoyance. "That's a dumb question. It was absolutely necessary." She huffed.
"She didn't want to listen to me, I told her guns were enough." The white headed exclaimed.
The girl's heels clicked underneath her as she tapped it on the ground. "But there's no fun in that." She paused as a wicked smile appeared in her lips. "And there's no harm in a small explosion."
"You think this is a small explosion?" The blondie retorted looking at her with narrowed eyes.
She rolled her eyes and turned to him with a grin as she swatted her hand in the air, "Oh come on Diego, don't destroy the fun."
The guy rolled his eyes as a small smile wanted to break on his lips.
She turned to look at us and it was until now she noticed me, she tilted her head and furrowed her eyebrows as she stared at me. She walked towards me with her tight baby blue silk dress and transparent heels.
"And you might be?" She said as a welcoming smile was plastered on her face.
I let a small smile break through my lips, "Athena, pleasure to meet you."
Her hand froze and her eyes widened for a moment and then she let out a loud squeal making Valentino groan.
"Athena as in the best hacker worldwide!?" She screamed.
I pressed my lips together and nodded unsure while still keeping a genuine smile on my face. "Yep that's me."
"My brother has told me so much about you! You are literally my fucking idol!" She said jumping up and down on her heels. The only answer here is that Valentino is her brother and apparently he's been talking about me.
"I hope good things." I trailed off laughing awkwardly as she held me in a bone crashing hug.
She released me but she still held onto my shoulders as a dimple on one cheek appeared. She was the definition of elegant, I guess good genes run in the family.
"Are you kidding?! He literally said you were-" She started but was quickly cut off by Valentino himself.
"Okay, I think that's enough." He strictly said making her smile drop and stare harshly at her brother, she returned her gaze to me being careful with her words.
I couldn't help but think what Valentino said about me, but why should I care?
"Anyways, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Victoria." She introduced smiling again. Even her name was elegant.
"Well, nice to meet you Victoria." I said chuckling.
"Believe me, it's my pleasure! I hope we can be good friends." She squealed. "And we can go shopping together and as I can tell, you have a great fashion taste!" She paused eyeing me up. "Beige cargo pants with combat boots and a black laced bra, such a fit!"
I let out a small laugh, I already was fond of her presence, she complimented me even in my soaked state. If I'm being honest, I hoped I could be friends with her too, It's nice having a girl around to talk to.
"I think we will." I beamed. "Also, thanks. The same goes for you."
"Now that you guys are done with introductions, Vic any updates?" Valentino questioned standing right next to me. Her whole demeanor changed and she was back to before.
"We managed to kill some of them but there are much more. It will be difficult to escape, but we can if we manage to help each other out."
Valentino hummed as he rose a hand and stroked it through his black hair. "Did you bring the guns?" He said turning to look at Diego.
Diego rose his head and looked at him with a smirk, "Of course I did. We brought all ty-" he was cut off by a fascinated Victoria.
"We also brought explosi-" She squealed but before she could finish Valentino interfered.
"No bombs Victoria, obbeditemi." He said strictly finishing off with his native language.
"But-"
"No. That'll just cause more attention."
Victoria throwed her head back groaning. Valentino shook his head as he walked towards Diego.
"Man, where have you been?" Diego questioned as they both did a bro-hug thing.
Valentino genuinely smiled showing his slight fangs. "Dealing with the Russians." Valentino paused as he looked behind Diego seeing a black G-Wagon and a mischievous smirk grew on his lips.
"Did you bring our cars too?" He questioned furrowing his eyebrows as an idea popped into his head.
"Yeah we did! We brought all of our cars." Victoria butted in staring behind her shoulder to the G-Wagon. "Dad is so going to kill us."
Valentino turned around and stared into my eyes. "You know how to drive?" He asked grinning.
It was like I realized in this moment what he wanted to do. I nodded as a grin of my own formed.
"Car chase?" He asked putting his hands in his pocket.
I smirked shaking my head, "Car chase it is."
