Detroit is the largest city in the Midwestern state of Michigan. Known for many things, like successful artists/models/actresses/actors were raised there, such as Aaliyah. One of the problems in Detroit, Michigan were the gangs. Michigan is one the variety of states that have dangerous gangs. There are more than 30,000 gangs in the United States alone. FBI agents and the police are always dealing with gangs aside from other arrests. The FBI go undercover at times and see what is going on. Sometimes it doesn't end well.

It was early morning, and Jade's plane has finally landed at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport. As Jade finally found her luggage after a couple of minutes, she started walking to the main entrance and saw someone holding a sign with her name on it. Jade immediately knew it was her personal driver for today, the personal driver actually looked like a body guard because he was tall and well built and had a stern face on. When the man saw Jade walk up to him, he immediately knew who she was.

"Good Morning, Ms. Castillo." He said with a stern look and grabbed the luggage out of her hand.

"Good Morning, umm-"

"Carson." He adds in. She nods and starts walking with him.

The airport was slightly crowded, families seeing their loved ones come back. Lovers reuniting again, and some simply leaving or coming back because of work. Jade was then led to a black Range Rover, Carson politely opened the door for her. She sat in the back instead of the passenger. Carson then got in the car after putting the luggage in the trunk and started driving.

"Ms. Castillo, we will first take a small visit at the Federal Government Office then we will go to your suite." He says taking a left. She simply nodded before scanning through her phone, checking the emails and text messages she received when she was in the plane.

After almost half an hour of being in the car they finally arrived at the office. Carson parks and they both enter the office. A man in his early thirties nods at Carson, Carson nods back before walking away.

"It's good to see you, Jade." The man smiles before walking.

"It's good to see you too, Alex." She smiles back before walking with him into the conference room.

The conference room had a large rectangular table that would be seen in almost every movie. At the front of the room were pictures of these four young men. Jade made herself a coffee before sitting down next to Alex. The conference then began. Alex then stood up.

"As you can see we have four young male suspects. These four suspects are in a gang, their own gang. We believe that these four suspects were the cause of the murder of these two young teens as you can see on the other side of the board. The one of the right is named Jose Gonzales, he was only 17. The one on the left is Richard Xion, also 17. We are not 100% sure that these four men actually murdered these two young teens, they aren't the only gangs here in Detroit. But we talked to many people and basically asked for permission in order to do this plan." He pauses before someone in the back interrupted.

"What's the plan?" The man asked.

"I'm glad you asked. The plan is to basically have someone be a new customer, since it is also obvious that they sell certain types of drugs. Which yes, I know we should already arrest them for selling illegal drugs but there are complications to it. Continuing on, the new customer will try to become a regular customer and maybe asking for a certain job or at least getting some information. Information or details about these two young teens." He explains.

"Who will be the new customer?" Jade asks.

Several then look at Jade and she raises her eyebrow. Alex then looks at Jade, then it hit her.

"Me?"

"Yes, you. We need you. That's one of the reasons why we asked for you. You're one of the best out there. We think you can get information, plus you look innocent and you're also the youngest. Which I know it has nothing to do with it." Alex explains.

Jade sat there thinking for a bit, she needed more information about these four young men. "What do you know about them?" She asks.

"Well. The first one on the left is Calum Hood, he is twenty. He is known for picking fights and sells illegal drugs. The second one is Ashton Irwin, twenty-one the oldest one, he also sells but also gets information from others about almost everything. The third one is Luke Hemmings, also twenty, he is the one who helps get rid of people and also a good dealer when it comes to certain things like weapons drugs etc. Lastly, Michael Clifford. Also twenty and known as for being the leader. He is the one that basically leads everything. He always gets what he wants, no matter what circumstance. He is the one you need to get the most information. But as of now you need to go to either Calum or Ashton." He finishes with a sigh.

Jade sat there in silence knowing that everyone was waiting for her to makes decision or atleast give an answer. She stands up and walks to the board and looks at the photos of them all.

"I'm in." She answers.

Everyone nods and gives a small applause. Alex stood next to her and looks at the photos. Jade looks at the photo of Michael, his green eyes piercing through her even though she was just looking at a photo. Something about him stood out and was pulling her to him the most. She just didn't know what or why.
