I get in the car with this man and we drive far away, finally, we reach a very big empty mansion, nobody seems to be living near here.

I get out of the car and look around me to this very beautiful garden. The man whispered and came close to me.

"hey, I need you to keep quiet for now and don't say anything OK?"

I nodded and he guided me through the big door. we got in and went up the stairs, there he walks before me into what seems to be a classroom.

2 girls and many men are sitting there, I flash them a smile and wave at them without saying a thing and sit in the front chair, next to my spot there's another empty spot.

The man starts writing on the whiteboard and then looks back at us

"very happy to see you here everyone," said the nerd.

Right after he finished his sentence, a classy looking gentleman walked in confidently, having a smirk on his face.

He looked to everyone for an equal amount of time, then his eyes landed on me.

his expression slightly changed, it was as if he was lost, impressed, the look you have when you find something that's been lost for so long.

I blushed for a bit acknowledging that he's a very handsome man.

He sat next to me, and I could tell from the corner of my eye that he was still staring at me, but my shyness couldn't let me stare back and I just kept looking at this guy that seems to be the leader.

"ahm ahm OK everyone I will lay out the rules for you. First of all, there should be absolutely no personal relationships."

I could hear some upset voices in the back, and I honestly got upset myself because I'm used to getting personal with people because of my work, and I would have liked to know these people more.

some guy in the back said.

"ugh cmon now I hate rules and I hate this room that looks like a classroom"

some people chuckled at him as this older man Infront of him gave him a slap on his hand

"behave little boy and don't ruin this for us," said the older man.

he noticed that I was staring at him and gave me a warm smile, so I smiled back, I already liked him. "fine father" said the young lad.

I looked back at the leader

"tsk tsk cmon now I was looking forward to getting to know some people here" said the gentleman sitting next to me.

I caught myself staring at him when he said that, he was looking inside my eyes very fiercely having that confident smirk, I blushed and looked away, feeling my heart racing quickly, my cheeks red as a tomato, and I heard him let out a small chuckle.

"guys focus here, call me the professor, and you guys aren't going to use your real names, so... go by city names. Everyone can choose, let's start from the back"

I looked back to get to know their names. Two bulky men choose to be named Helsinki and Oslo. The loud guy from before goes by the name Denver and his father is moscu. A young-looking man in Rio, next to him a short-haired girl that goes by the name Tokio and another woman named Nairobi.

Finally... The gentleman and me, I looked to him, and shyly spoke my first words to him

"you can go first, I.. Didn't decide yet," he noticed my nervousness and looked right into my eyes laying back in his chair like some king.

"Berlin, my love. Call me Berlin" he bit his lips and played with the ring In his fingers. Looking at me as if I was his prey.

It was my turn "um I should go by... Paris" I loved this city the most it's beauty has always haunted me "I've always wanted to visit Paris" I said happily and the professor smiled back. "well I assure you, you will go wherever you want, as long as we finish this correctly, now let's get into some of the details" said the professor.

2 hours of intensive instructions about this robbery was all like a dream to me, I got off my chair stretched back and jumped up still thinking about all this mess I got myself into, surprisingly, I'm not regretting any bit of it.

I look around me and spot moscu, I approach him and we introduce ourselves. I smiled and reached my hand for a shake "hey moscu I'm... L.. I mean Paris yes nice to meet you"

he smiled back and shook my hand and introduced himself and his son, and they were very nice people, I talked to the bulky brothers for a bit and we laughed and joked, the 2 girls grapped me and we had a good nice girly chat, I was happy to see other girls with me.

Finally outside the room was berlin laying his back and one foot on the wall, I looked at him briefly then saw the professor signalling to Berlin to come now, but he didn't listen.

I Immediately looked away before he could notice me and just before I walked into my room, I felt a hand turning me aroundby the shoulder.

"Ahhh" I screamed just before I realised it was berlin, he had a smirk on his face and looked deeply with his brown eyes into mine, I looked at him in awe

"uh, hello?" i said weakly.

"little girls like you shouldn't be in such place" he said with his smooth silky voice a smug smile on his face.

"well, the professor brought me here so he must have a really good reason, don't you think?" i smirked.

"i can't really see how you could be useful in such situation" he mocked me and laughed.

"don't judge a book by it's cover sir" i rolled my eyes.

He stepped back and placed his hand under his jaw, thinking.

"let's see, what's your biggest crime? Possibly fighting a girl over a guy? Stealing a dress for your prom?" he chuckled and smiled.

"i can't tell you, the professor said no personal questions right?" i crossed my arms and stood confidently.

"you will tell me one day, I'm sure. Now goodnight" he leaned closer with his hands in his pockets then walked off to his room..

"what's with this man" i mumbled to myself.

I walked back into my room, looking around it, I found clothes on the bed, all fitting for me.
"ok... Now that's a bit creepy..."

I changed into those pyjamas and I sat down.

I remembered that I didn't call my family, I picked up my phone called mum and explained to her that I'm going to be away for work outside of the country, she didn't take it so easy at first, but my mum trusted me and we said our goodbyes for now.

I hanged the phone layed down thinking about everything and everyone, but I found myself thinking mostly about Berlin...I was never this kind of girl, I always gave love to everyone, but for some reason, I've never been romanticly involved before.

I shook my head and went to sleep.
