I eat half the plate of salad and not wanting to disappoint Roman, I reach out to a fry.
I swallow deeply and subconsciously squeeze Roman's hand tighter.
I take a bite of the fry before swallowing it.
I feel Roman stroke my hand with his thumb giving some kind of comfort while I continue eating that unhealthy food.
I stopped eating after the 5th fry, nog being able to eat any more fries because of constantly remembering what I ate this morning and warnings and stuff that filled my head.
When I stopped eating, I started talking with the others once more until we all decided that we're going home because of school tomorrow.
After saying goodbye to each other and paying for everything, we walk back to the limousine.
As soon as I sit down, I take my heals off making me sigh out in relief.
I take my laptop out again to find more details about the human trafficking ring and when/how I need to be kidnapped to come in there to then take it down.
After about half an hour I close my laptop and explain everything to the others.
"I'm going to get kidnapped for a mission" I say very blunt.
Heads shoot up in my direction in shock.
"What?!"
"No"
"Absolutely not"
And more things were called out as soon as I made that statement.
I look at them for a second until I start talking, "well I have to. To take down the biggest human trafficking ring in this city I have to go undercover. They don't let woman or girls in unless they are the ones who get sold/auctioned, so that's why I'll be getting kidnapped. Also I need some of you guys to get undercover inside and dad I need extra backup. One of you will sort of kind of buy me and then when everything is safe we'll take down the ring." I speak out loud.
Dad thinks about it for a second, "euhm okay, okay but I want you to have a small earpiece in to communicate with us at all times. I also want you to have a camera on you and have your tracker programmed to be on constantly. Also I need you to hide small knife in your hair for if something would go wrong. I'll have backup ready and I'll have the place surrounded at all times while you're there." He tells me.
"Okay" I say giving him a smile.
"When will you get kidnapped?" Roman asks.
"Two days before the event, we found some areas where there is a lot of kidnapping around that time for the trafficking so I'll be kidnapped at one of those places." I answer his question.
He nods his head then he says very quietly, "I don't want you to get hurt so be careful and cautious." Before he pulls me in a sideways hug.
"I will, I promise. And don't forget that we have a mission together in a few days huh" I remind him.
He smiled before hugging me tighter to him, "go to sleep Красивый" he tells me giving me a kiss on the head.
(Translation- beautiful)
I don't say anything, just close my eyes and let darkness take over.
———
I feel myself being lifted making me wake up.
I sigh while snuggling my face into the person's neck.
"Shh go back to sleep piccola" I hear Allesandro say to me.
———
I wake up by my alarm in the morning and after lying down for a couple more minutes I get out of bed.
Immediately I make my bed before I walk to my bathroom.
I look into the mirror and what I see is not what I was expecting. I expected to see my makeup from yesterday smudged on my face and my hair a mess, but it I was wrong. Someone must have taken most of my makeup off and bound my hair together,...weird. But I'm grateful for it, still a little creepy though.
I take the rest of my makeup off and wash my face before getting dressed in some workout clothes.
A few minutes later I'm standing in the gym and start my workout.
An hour later I'm finished.
Covered in sweat I walk back to my bathroom once more.
I take my clothes off and hop into the shower before washing my body. The warm water hitting my skin made those tight knots in my shoulders disappear.
Finishing my shower, I get dressed into some black ripped jeans with a fitting black long sleeve shirt and white sneakers. I put on a belt to get some color in before I also grab a checkered gray/black coat. For jewelry I put on my usual things which are my bracelet, necklace, earrings and rings.
I wanted to wear pants because I'll be riding firefly and didn't want to worry about people being able to see inside my normal outfit which is a skirt.
I brush my teeth and fix my hair before also putting some lipgloss and mascara on.
I also put my gun in the back of my jeans before grabbing my schoolbag and going downstairs.
I place my backpack at the front door, then I make my way to the dining room.
I sit down with the others and start to eat an apple while also drinking some juice.
When I am finished I stand up, take my plate and stuff to the kitchen before going back to my family.
"I need to go pick up Matteo" I tell them before giving everyone a goodbye hug and kiss.
Next to our front door is a little table where my keys from my bike are sitting on which I quickly grab just like my bag.
I close the front door behind me and greet the guards on my way out.
I put my helmet on and take one with me for Matteo before I drive to his house.
Yesterday at dinner I already informed the others that I would be picking Matteo up this morning to go to school together. They didn't question it, thinking it might help with how Matteo is closing himself off from the others.
When I arrive 30 minutes later, I park my bike next to their front door.
I ring the bell and immediately Matteo walks out with his backpack on his back ready to go.
I say goodbye to aunt Valencia and the others before I help Matteo on my bike.
"Morning bud"
"Morning Val" he says tiredly.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah just not long enough." He mutters giving me a hug which I return.
"Here" I say while handing him his helmet.
"Thank you" he says before we both put on our helmets.
"Let's go" I tell him before also climbing on firefly.
