~~~~~~~~~~~♤Chapter 25♤~~~~~~~~~~~

I slowly raise my hand.

"That was rhetorical."

I slowly put it back down, J proceeded to hand us all small devices.

"Earpieces to communicate, there is a small button to turn it on and off. I'm hoping you know how to tell if it's on or not."

"Yeah, I think I have enough brain cells to figure it out."

We all head back down and get into position.

This will either go well or catastrophically wrong.

♡Chubby's: POV♡

We split apart, Jaza leads Miracle back down to the bar and I follow. The last I see of them is in the drunken crowd, painted under the colourful strobe lights. It was up to them now and I sure as hell wasn't going to be easy if they screwed up.

I make my way to the kitchen, a familiar voice stops me.

"I thought you would be prepping right about now."

"Are you stalking me?" I grin, turning to the demon.

"I don't think I could already look at you for more than 5 seconds, it hurts my eyes." She grinned back.

I gasp playfully and put a hand over my chest as though I've been wounded "You hurt me Sash."

"Oh really? I don't recall you being so weak."

"I don't recall you having a stick up your ass."

"Watch your mouth." She frowned.

"I would but my eyes are permanently glued to my face."

"Thank the gods for that, or else I fear that you would die of shock at the sight of your face."

"That was such an extra way to say I'll die because of realising how ugly I am."

"You know I'm joking."

"I don't, Sash, do I?" I fake anger and mock her, she lets out a small but hearty chuckle.

"Run along now, you have a mission you need to complete. You know how Chip gets when people dawdle."

"You got it ma'am."

"Go!" She laughed out loud.

I waved and rushed over to the counter sliding and running across the crowded room, I glided under tables, jumped over peoples heads and... almost failed that landing. I made a quick dash to the reception and plopped down on the stool just as the door opened and our dearest victim walked through oblivious to his fate.

"Good evening Mr. Lux! Didn't think you'd be back so soon." The man let out a huff. His voice was so deep and gravily that it made him sound like a bear.

"I'm only back because I made good money last time and I plan to win a couple more rounds." He was picking his nails, something he often did when he got nervous. I remembered one game he became so stressed due to being so close to losing that his fingers started bleeding because of how much he picked them.

"Ah yes so I've heard! You made quite the bank, shame I wasn't there to witness such a sweeping success."

"Yes, shame..." I stared at him and that seemed to make him even more uncomfortable.

"Well you best get going then!" I clapped my hands and stood up to open the door for him.

He walked past me and into the main room 'not even a thank you' I mentally scoffed.

As soon as he was out of my sight, I clicked twice to switch to connect the line of communication to Miracles.

"Goat cheese, I repeat goat cheese do you copy." I heard shuffling and the static noises and finally–

"Yes I copy, and what the hell is that nickname?!" She whisper shouts, I try not laugh as a say,

"It's your code name."

"Okay then pillow case."

"Pillow case? Why pillow case?"

"Because y'know your wings and therefore feathers and— Whatever you get the idea!"

"Moving on to more important things the target has moved to the main area."

"What do they look like?"

"Grey slicked back hair, suspender a large open balck coat."

"Got it!" Before she could switch off I quickly called out to her.

"Hey Miracle."

"Yeah?"

"Be careful." With that I switched off and it was in her hands now.

Slowly something struck me, not literally more of a thought one that made my stomach sink. Sash is usually in charge of luring and entertaining our target, Miracle doesn't know how to do that... Fuck.
