We were getting ready to go to the pool party at the house. I dislike the fact that Rubi is also required to participate in the mission. I'm simply worried she'll get wounded, and I swear I don't want that to happen. Miguel isn't going with us because we want him to keep a low profit since I'm sure if he is caught, he'll be sent back to prison and his terms will most likely be lengthened.

Rubi and I both swiftly changed into our bathing suits. Hers is actually longer than mine, so I prefer hers really.

Spooky and Manny walked in after we finished putting on our bathing suits and gave us a hard look. Rubi and I exchanged glances and rolled our eyes. We're literally heading to a pool party, so they best not complain about what we're wearing. Do they really expect us to show up to a pool party with a sweater and high-water ass pants on? That's going to blow the whole damn cover.

"Please don't say anything because we're not about to change shit." Rubi remarked to them, her hands on her hips.

"I mean, at the very least, your ass could wear something that isn't see-through." Spooky shrugged his shoulders and muttered to Rubi.

Rubi smacked both of her palms on her thigh, expressing her displeasure. "Spooky, do you want us to dress like a damn nun for the party or something?"

Spooky raised his eyebrow, indicating that he agreed with Rubi. "To be honest, that's not a bad idea."

Rubi sucked her teeth and motioned Spooky away. When I looked over at Manny, he was still staring at me. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with him.

With a cocked eyebrow on my face, I looked at Manny. "Can you tell me why you're staring at me like that?"

Manny swirled his finger in a circle to indicate that I should turn around. "Turn around right quick."

I turned slowly around after giving him a "ok" look because I'm not sure why he's instructing me to do this. My butt was now facing Manny, and I was waiting for him to say anything.

"Your ass cheeks are literally visible." Manny stated it with a little extra bass in his voice, as if to show me he's furious.

I swiftly turned around and cast a questioning glance towards Manny. "You have to understand that this is supposed to be see through. Now, are we going to complete this mission or sit here all night discussing our bathing suits?"

Manny and Spooky exchanged glances and shook their heads. I smirked at them since I knew they didn't want to sit here all night debating our bathing suit; they wanted to complete our task.

"Grab your shit and let's go." Manny said as he walked out of the room.

Spooky walked out of the room, trailed by Manny. I gathered my belongings and put on my black sandals. Before I and Rubi exited the room, I grabbed Rubi's arm and slid her back in so I could talk to her.

"Listen, Rubi, we're about to undertake on a serious assignment. I don't want you to be drunk, dancing on people, or acting inappropriately. I don't want us to get caught and have something horrible happen to us, so you need to stay in character. Do you get what I'm saying?" I said to her, staring her in the eyes to indicate that I was serious.

"Ok. I get what you're saying. I hope we don't have to suffocate anyone again because that last nigga we tried to suffocate was a lot of work." Rubi shook her head, recalling the time we had to suffocate Jayceon.

I laughed at her jokingly pushing on her shoulder. We went downstairs together and noticed Celina setting up the table, implying that she had prepared dinner. She stared at us with a piercing glare when she heard us coming downstairs. She put her hands on her hips and stopped setting up the table.

"Where are ladies going? Dinner will be ready soon." Celina spoke to us while keeping her hands on her hips.

Rubi and I exchanged glances, and I smiled as I turned to face Celina. "We're going to this pool party we heard about and want to see how much fun it is."

Celina turned around and gestured to her backyard before turning back to face me. "I literally have a swimming pool in my backyard. It is not necessary for you to attend a pool party."

"We know, but we just want to go make new friends and stuff like that." Rubi said with a suspicious grin on her face.

Celina sighed and returned to her task of setting the table. "All right, then. Have a good time and stay safe."

We gave her a wave and then exited the house. Instead of their driver taking us to the party, Manny and Spooky are driving us. Rubi and I sat in the truck's back seat. Manny drove down the road once he realized we were inside the truck. When I looked at Manny, I noticed that he was holding the photograph that his father had given him.

He was staring at the address as if he was memorizing it or something. Arriving at the mansion took only 35 minutes. We parked a short distance from the mansion. The mansion is stunning, and it makes me feel like I'm in a royal palace.

Manny and Spooky were loading up their guns. They had small and large guns, as well as any other type of weapon you can imagine. This guy must have a lot of security guards in there. With this mission, I'm beginning to feel a little nervous.

When I went to Jayceon's place with Rubi. That mission wasn't difficult because he didn't have many security guards. This one appears to be far too ambitious. Manny turned around and handed us these type of earbuds after they finished loading their guns. Rubi and I both looked mystified as we inserted it into our ears.

"We're going to talk you through this and guide you through this with those ear buds, so make sure you stay focused. If you hear my voice through the buds, don't say anything out loud because you'll draw attention to yourself. Do you get what I'm saying?" Manny addressed us in a loud and clear manner.

Rubi scratched the back of her neck and gave Manny a "huh" face expression. "Could you repeat that? I wasn't paying attention."

I palm myself in the face. "Are you serious, Rubi? Simply follow behind me."

Before we could get out of the truck, Manny and Spooky both called our names, causing us to turn around and look at them, puzzled.

Glock 18s were given to me and Rubi by Spooky. "Make sure you use these motherfuckas if things get too heated. However, do not use them at the front door because it will be heard by those on the inside, and our cover will be blown."

I gave Spooky a nod, and Rubi and I got out of the truck and walked up to the mansion. The closer we got to the mansion, the clearer my view of the front door became. I notice two large security guards standing in front of the door. Rubi and I hid the gun in the back of our bathing suits.

I noticed Rubi was becoming agitated as I looked over at her. "We've got this covered. Just keep your cool." I said to her, attempting to calm her down.

She made a gesture toward the security guards. "How am I supposed to be calm with those two big ass men standing there? Those guys probably start their morning with raw eggs. They probably spent their entire day playing football. They look like they do weightlifting while sleeping."

When I looked back at the security guards, I realized Rubi was correct. I mean, Spooky and Manny did give us guns, so if things get bad, I'll use them regardless of whether my cover is blown or not. I came to a halt, and Rubi came to a halt as well. I put both of my hands on her shoulders.

"Look, I've got you covered. Stop second-guessing yourself. We'll handle them, and I'm sure if we get into any trouble, Spooky and Manny will have our backs. Alright?" I said to her, looking sidelong into her eyes.

She nodded and sighed. We keep walking towards the mansion. We walked up the stairs, and the security guards just stared at us. They had no expression on their face. They had their hands crossed in front of them. We approached them with a smile on our faces.

"Hey, we've come to join Santiago's party." I said to them.

"Ladies, what's your name?" One of them asked me.

I aimed a finger at myself. "My name is Angel," I said, motioning to Rubi. "Her name is Rubi."

Rubi waved her fingers at the security guard, and one of them took out a clipboard and began scrolling down to see if they could find our names. After a few minutes had passed, the security guard looked up with the same blank expression.

"Your names do not appear on the list. I apologize. You will be required to leave." One of them mentioned, bringing their arms back in front of them.

"You should bring Mr. Santiago out here because he said we were invited." Rubi said to them as she folded her arms.

I looked at Rubi as if she were insane. Why do you want them to bring that man out here? And didn't she said she was scared not too long, and now she isn't? Both of the security guards had the same expression on their faces when they looked at Rubi.

"I don't want to throw you across the street, lady. If your name isn't on the list, you won't be able to enter. Váyanse ahora." In an aggressive tone, one of them said to Rubi.

"Go ahead, Angel, try to take them out." Through the earbuds, Manny said.

I'm not sure why Spooky and Manny weren't able to take them out. They've got better shooting and fighting skills than me and Rubi, I'm sure.

I had a crazed expression on my face as I looked at the security guards. "You definitely won't touch her, and I mean it."

I put my hands on the shoulders of the security guard. I grabbed the security arm and pressed my bottom against his hips, bending over, squatting, and lifting while pulling his arm forward, as Manny had instructed. I slammed him on the ground after rolling him off my hip and flipping him over my back high into the air.

I quickly knelt down and decided to place him in a chokehold. I slid my dominant forearm under the security guard's chin and tightly wrapped my arm around his neck. To secure my grip, I slide my nondominant hand behind his head and loop my dominant hand under my arm. He began choking, and I could tell he was gasping for air.

He began pulling on my arm in an attempt to get me to stop, and he nearly had me because he was so strong, but I maintained my grip. He fell out after about 15 seconds. When I looked over at the other security, I noticed that he was attempting to attack Rubi. A bullet flew through his head and he fell to the ground before he could even lay a hand on Rubi.

"Nobody will touch you while I'm around, baby." Through Rubi's earbud, I heard Spooky said.

Rubi squeezed her shoulders and bit her lower lip. "Daddy, thank you for saving me."

I cast a sidelong glance at Rubi. "Bitch, really?"

"Yes really because that big ass security guard was about to choke me, and while we're on the subject of choking, who the fuck taught you that karate shit? That's something I've got to learn." Rubi said excitedly.

"Enough with the chit-chat shit. Go inside before anyone notices." Manny spoke through his earbuds.

Rubi and I both rolled our eyes. We moved the security guard bodies into the bushes before entering because we didn't want anyone to see their lifeless bodies in front of the door. After that, I stretched my back because moving the guard body put so much pressure on my damn back because he was so big.

"After this, Manny, you owe me a damn massage. Sitting here dragging these big ass men. This is a man's job. " Still with my hand on my back, I said.

"When we get home, I will give you more than a massage, now get inside girl." Manny stated.

Manny's comment made me blush. Is he genuinely attempting to be freaky right now?Rubi and I entered and began looking around. Inside, there were a slew of people dancing, some of whom were holding drinks in their hands. The music was also loud, and it appeared to be coming from the backyard. Rubi smiled as she saw a couple of people heading to the bar for drinks, and she was about to walk over there when I grabbed her shoulder.

"Rubi, remember what I said? This is a very important position. Right now, you don't need to be drinking." I told her this in a serious tone.

She stomped her feet and rolled her eyes. "All I want is one shot, Angel. Shit, this might be my last night on this planet."

I sucked my teeth. "Girl, calm down. We must track down this money as well as Santiago quickly."

Manny spoke into the earbud before we could say anything, interrupting my and Rubi's conversation.

"Y'all need to stop running your damn mouths and start looking for the money and Santiago's bitch ass before someone notices you two don't belong there." In a serious tone, he stated.

I paid attention to Manny's words and began looking for Santiago. We looked all over the living room for him but couldn't find him. I noticed a large number of people by the pool when I looked out the back window. He might be out there, so Rubi and I started walking towards the back door. Two men grabbed me and Rubi as we were about to walk up to the door. They were fine Mexican gentlemen, and you could tell they were rich.

The man who grabbed Rubi was dressed in Versace, while the man who grabbed me was dressed in Louis Vuitton. They both grabbed our waists and began swaying to the music. Their hands were both too close to our asses.

"Has anyone ever told you that you are a stunning woman?" With a smirk on his face, the guy said to me.

"Yes, I get that quite frequently. Please excuse me; I'm attempting to get to the pool." With a nervous smile on my face, I said to him.

He drew my waist closer to him. He bite down on his lips. I'm not sure if I should slap him or what because he won't let me leave. He is currently wasting our time. Rubi was also attempting to free herself from the other guy's grip, but they were acting as if they didn't understand that we wanted to leave.

"I'd like for you to stay here with me. I'd like to get to know you better. I've got a lot of money and can get you anything you want." With the same smirk on his face, he said to me.

I rolled my eyes at him because arrogant men are something I despise. I'm not interested in money, and I don't care how much you make or have. I just want to finish this mission as soon as possible.

I tried pushing him away from me, but that didn't work either. "Listen, I don't mean any harm, but I'm not interested in your money. All my sister and I want to do is jump in the pool."

"I mean, it depends on how much money you're talking about because one thing's for certain: I love seeing those blue checks." Rubi said while biting her index finger.

Rubi always manages to make the situation worse, so I face palm myself. The guys burst out laughing at Rubi's remark. The man who was holding me smirked as he looked at me.

"As you can see, you should pay attention to what your sister said. Why don't we just leave now and have the rest of the night to ourselves?" While licking his bottom lip, the man said that to me.

I keep pushing him away from me. "No, there are so many other women in here. Choose one, but not me."

He snatched a handful of my butt. "Come on Mami. I'm only interested in you. None of these other putas appeal to me."

Manny screamed through his earbuds, interrupting the conversation before I could say anything.

"Aye, Angel, don't let me air this bitch out early! Why the fuck are you allowing him to grab on your ass like that?!" Manny yelled angrily into his earbud.

I made a "oh shit" face expression. I had no idea Manny could see me all the way in here. I see Rubi pushed the other guy off of her hard, so Spooky must also be speaking through her earbuds. I started whispering so Manny could hear me.

"It isn't my fault. I was trying to push him away from me, but he kept grabbing me." In a smart tone, I said to him.

"Angel, you have three seconds to move before I come in and kill everybody. That's why I told you not to wear that shit." Manny said, his voice resonating with extra bass.

"You're so irritating, what the fuck do you expect me to wear?!" I said aloud.

When I said what I said, the guy looked at me puzzled. I sucked my teeth because I realized I had said that way too loud. Manny irritated me so much that I forgot to whisper. I can't help that the guy finds me attractive. I eventually pushed the guy off of me, and he continued to stare at me, perplexed.

"Who were you conversing with?" He asked me.

I slammed my fist into his chest. "Nobody. You need to learn to control your damn hands."

We walked away from them and into the pool area through the back door. The back yard was absolutely stunning, and you could tell he spent a lot of money on it. Rubi and I began looking around to see if we could locate Santiago.
