"Wren... it's gone," Florian muttered.

I slammed my hand against the wall "No... no it can't be"

Our most priced possession was worth thousands of dollars.

My feet ran until I reached the room.

The painting was no where to be seen. Looking around I noticed the windows were open and glass was shattered all over the floor.

"Who did this?" I yelled.

Florian stood behind me, his head facing down.

He sighed "No one knows who it was. Whoever broke in must have been planning this for a while"

I couldn't believe this.

Whoever did this was going to pay the price.

Present Day

You may be wondering who we are.

We're the Lions, the most feared organization in the area.

Treat people nicely and expect it in return.

Well that's crap.

I've been there before and it only let to getting hurt.

Mess with me and see what happens.

2 years ago our painting was stolen. It's known as the Emerald Glass, worth thousands of dollars.

My right hand man Florian had searched for months on who could have taken it.

After a year of searching we finally found the culprit.

Matteo, the mayor of this town was our guy.

Secretly he was stealing paintings from other organizations such as ours.

Little did he know what was coming his way.

I had done some research on him. He's well known public figure and famous in the townspeople's eyes.

He only had one daughter from his previous marriage.

She was our ticket in.

I'd been watching him for months and came to the conclusion that he too had a weakness.

His daughter was something he treasured dearly.

This tied into our plan.

We're going to kidnap her which will lure him in. He stole something from us so we're going to take something away from him.

He's never going to know what hit him. And when he does come he'll wish he never messed with us.
