Heist in England 'The Babylonian Map'

Racheal was the leader of the team that was responsible for stealing the Babylonian Map. While Racheal and her team were at the British Museum in Central London, the news of the heist at the State Museum of Prehistory in Halle was broadcast worldwide.

Before Racheal and her team entered the museum, the cams were already set on a loop. After the members took their positions, they were waiting for Jason's orders.

"This is Racheal. We are in position. Waiting for further orders."

"No need to be so serious. Relax. I know you are mad at me for putting you in charge of a separate group."

"I don't know what you are talking about, Sir."

"If you keep denying the obvious, it will only affect the missions in future. Well, if you don't want to then let's move on to the current topic. You guys stay where you are. For now, don't make any moves until I tell you to. Just keep changing the positions among yourselves to avoid further suspicions."

"Ok, Sir."

When the news of the heist in Germany was being broadcast on the television at the British Museum, the team understood that the other side had already started their move.

"Are you nervous?" Jason asked over the communicator.

"I am not, Sir. I am sure Miss Sara can handle it." Racheal replied.

"That's nice to hear. But you know what you have to do right?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Alright, start according to the plan."

After receiving the command, Racheal contacted the team that was outside the museum. After getting the signal, the team moved according to their previous plan.

Some cars that were parked nearby the museum started to explode. The team made sure no civilians were nearby before detonating the bombs. The explosion caused a huge panic right in front of the museum. The fire brigade came as quickly as possible. While they were busy putting out the fire, suddenly the whole city of London experienced a blackout. Though the museum had generators as backups, but for some reasons the generators weren't functioning.

While the security guards at the museum were guiding the visitors to the exit, Racheal and her team used that moment to swap the Babylonian Map with its replica. As there was no power, the security system didn't get triggered. So, Racheal and her team completed their job quite easily.

After a few hours the power to the city was restored and no one even knew that an historical artifact was stolen right under their noses, just like that.

After returning to their temporary base in London, Racheal reported the success of the mission to Jason.

"Sir, is Miss Sara's mission also complete?"

"I thought you weren't worried about it."

"That's not it, Sir."

"Just so you know, it's literally obvious to us about the thing between you two. I know you were looking forward to working with Sara on this mission. But there will be times when you have to be separated just like this mission. That's how it works for people like us."

"I know that, Sir. But..."

"Don't let the emotions cloud your judgement. Embrace them and have control over them. Make them as if those emotions were normal. No need to feel guilty over it either. And if you can't calm down the conflict in your heart then it will not only cause troubles for you but also for Sara as well."

"I will keep that in mind, Sir."

"Ohh... and for your answer, Sara's mission will be over tonight. But they will be staying there for a few days before returning. You can go there if you want after bringing the item."

"Thank you, Sir."

At the base, uncle Greg was there with Jason, monitoring the situations of the others while Jason was focusing on one at a time.

"Was it really necessary to use a drop of your blood for this mission? I don't think it was that profitable," said Greg.

"Sometimes no price is high enough to gain full control over a situation." Jason replied.

"Don't think that I don't know why you did it. Even though sometimes you sound like you are way older than me, but still I am your uncle and I am Sara's father as well."

"Shouldn't being Sara's father come first?"

"Don't change the topic Jason."

"Well, don't worry. It was definitely worth it. Just don't let Sara know. It will create an awkward atmosphere."

" *sigh* Alright, I won't tell her."

"Come to think of it, have you heard from my parents recently? How's their progress?"

"While the world knows they are dead, they are still finding the clues to locate the statue. But they didn't find any leads yet. They won't return till they find it. But are you sure that's exactly what happened? And do you really believe you can do it? The amount of blood it will take is not a joke."

"You have seen it too just like my parents. The reason those bastards failed in the past. In a way, I am glad that they got what they deserved. But we need her help. That split second of time difference will determine the results. And whether it actually happened like that or not, that's the only logical explanation there could be."

"Alright, if that's what you believe then we have no other choice but to trust you."

As they were continuing their talk, a message came from Julia's team from Spain.

"We have encountered an Awakener, supposedly with the power of the Light element. We haven't been discovered yet, but at this point, even looking for the Holy Grail will be difficult. Waiting for your instructions, Sir." Julia reported.

"Alright. Change of plans. Tell everyone to stand down."
