Carol

Hacker and Kali took about one hour and thirty minutes to reach their third base, which is a house that is nicely built and very attractive, with huge glasses that look like walls. Well-furnished to suit a proper home with expensive furniture, it has 5 rooms on top 5 rooms underground, the rooms on top are divided by a corridor, and if one continued to follow the corridor there is a wall which seems like a dead end but that isn't the case. Behind the wall is an entrance to other secret rooms, where targets will be kept as well as tools like guns, knives, and other things are kept in one of the rooms. There is an exit underground and also a garage which has cars and motorbikes.

Kali carried Danger and Hacker carried Flo and put them into separate rooms, they then took some minutes to rest then proceeded to brainstorm whilst waiting for Ghost to arrive. After three hours Ghost finally arrived, she took quite some time because she had to be sure that no one was following her. She arrived safe and sound due to the guidance of one of their members who was taking care of the cameras from his place. Kali and Hacker were beginning to get worried but the moment she opened the door everyone was relieved.

"Boss you almost scared us to death you know. We had thought that something had happened to you." Said Kali who was standing by the glass walls for the past twenty minutes.

(Checking the drawers of the glass table that was at the center of the lounge) "Something did happen," she said sitting on the couch with a lighter, cigarettes, and an ashtray in her hands.

"I thought you quit smoking," said Kali with a tone full of surprise as she walked to sit across from where Hacker was sitting.

(Lighting a cigarette) "That's Lisa, not me," she said sounding annoyed.

"I see, so how did it go?"

"I managed to drop Scar but I was followed…"

(Together) "What!?"

"Yeah…"

"Did you manage to see how the other person looks?" Asked Hacker.

"No, I was in a rush."

"Did the other person see how you look like?" Asked Kali.

"My structure maybe but my face no, I had a mask on…"

"This is bad," said Kali with both her hands touching the back of her head.

(Standing by the glass wall looking outside and still smoking) "You guys should lay low for now and just help me to inform all our members that are in different business sectors to be ready for tasks from now until this is over (Meaning Midnight had spies in all business sectors be it big or small their plants were put almost everywhere and no one could tell who they are because they just look like ordinary people and they blend very well with everyone). I have a feeling that I might be on the suspect list, which will force me to lay low, or if worse happens there is a possibility for me to be arrested. I need you to be very careful and also take care of things once that happens. (Taking a deep breath) I wish Anne would put herself together quickly otherwise everything is going upside down soon."

"Boss, I think this is not the time for us to be crying or licking our wounds, it's not over yet so let's plan for a huge comeback."

"From how I am seeing things, the person backing Scar will do whatever it takes with the help of the police to take us down. Because we have cops searching for us left right and center we can no longer just go and kidnap all our suspects but I am very glad we did this mission. It brought almost everything to light, first when I decided to do this mission, I had a feeling that Flo might end up in trouble or she could be used against us since we once associated with her. Now my feelings have been proven to be right, and I also don't think that the people behind Scar are after Tasha, it is more than that."

"So should we wait until the dust settles?" Asked Kali who was now anxious.

"Negative, the dust will not settle soon, we are just going to take care of what we can at this time, and as for rest let fate decide. Tell the risk takers that it's their time to shine (risk takers are those people in Midnight that are not scared of anything except for Anne and they have pledged to even die for the group.) I need everyone on this list to be given Stars," she said handing a tablet to Hacker and on that tablet, there was, all the information of every individual that was on Midnight's blacklist.

(Surprised) "Tiny and Marble too?" Asked Kali who was standing beside Hacker checking the list too.

"Yeah," said Ghost unbothered

"Why?"

(Agitated) "Are you stupid?"

(Lowering her head) "Sorry boss."

(Lighting another cigarette) "Better, anyway, if we can't kidnap them, we will let them come to us and Stars is going to force them to do so because they will be after the antidote, as for those who choose to be stubborn we will meet them in hell," said Ghost as she let out the smoke with a smirk on her face.

"Won't they bring the police to us?" Asked Hacker

"They wouldn't dare. First, we will ensure that we take care of the cameras again, I heard that the security headquarters are trying to tighten their security measures, but I'm sure they haven't achieved that yet. Right now, we won't release bugs, it's about time Alpha and Omega release the viruses that they created (Alpha and Omega are also the best IT groups of Midnight. Their skills are top notch but they always operate out of the country, they do so to avoid getting caught and this has also made them move from one country to another). I need them to make sure that the whole country's security will shut down, if possible, for a week. That way we will buy every risk taker time, and also, we will be able to take care of other things. One more thing, send a pair of risk takers to the second base.

"Meaning they will be our scapegoats?" Asked Kali.

"Affirmative. They have to claim that they own the garage and they should smoothly take the fall. I need to go and speak with Anne later because all the targets are supposed to be taken care of at the first base, also remember not to use black or white motorbikes as well as cars for now. Please wake Danger and Flo when I'm gone and give them food. Another thing, Hacker what drug did you give Scar?"

"I gave him Black Shadows (that is also another drug that Midnight invented and no one except someone from Midnight will be able to wake him up)."

"Perfect, tell our plants in the police and health sectors to give us an update, something might happen tonight. I have talked too much let's get to work."

"MISSION CODE ECLIPSE," said Ghost with a face that was so stern and a very commanding voice.

(In unison) "NO MORE BRAINSTORMING, JUST EXECUTE AND HAVE RESULTS, IF I AM TO DIE IT, IS AN HONOUR."

"MOVE," said Ghost in command.

(In unison) "YES, THE MIDNIGHT."

On the other hand, the police found Scar right where Ghost had dropped him, and he was taken to Julius Hospital. The doctors tried to trace the drug that was used to make him unconscious but they couldn't find it. They thought of all the rarest drugs that could have been used to make one unconscious but waking him up was in vain. The doctors had to try all they could, they ran quite a several examinations, and tests but it all remained the same as before, it was finally decided that he should be transferred to another hospital at 6 pm.

On another note, Ghost took a red motorbike and used the short routes to go to their first base. She got to the place, and the moment she opened the door, the stench of alcohol filled her nose. Anne was lying on the floor with her back and head on the ground facing up, tears slowly flowing from her eyes, and several bottles were lying on the floor. She was so wasted that she didn't take any action to fight Ghost as usual.

(Lighting a cigarette) "What are you doing?"

"I'm thinking of how I will slit your throat once I stand from here," said Anne wiping her tears and talking in a drunk manner.

"I see, are you sure with that state you are in right now you can do that?"

"Wanna give it a shot?" Asked Anne with a sarcastic tone

"Sure," said Ghost without moving an inch or preparing for the fight.

Anne tried to stand, as quickly as possible but she couldn't, she fell back.

(Sarcastic) "What's wrong, you gave up already?"

(Angry) "Shut up…"

"Well, I can't do that because I am here to talk," said Ghost grabbing a chair to sit close to where Anne was lying.

"I don't want to…"

"I think you misunderstood, you can keep quiet as much as you like and I will do the talking," said Ghost with an unbothered tone.

"Watch your mouth I am your boss…"

"If you look at yourself right now, do you see a boss? You have been drinking alcohol like water for the past two days, drowning yourself in sorrow, and yet we need you is that what a boss should do?"

"How dare you question me, isn't it your fault that things have ended this way?"

"That's one of your weaknesses, self-blaming and also blaming others, we do not have the luxury for that, we need you to put yourself together and then deal with me later okay. We will be bringing our targets to this place so you better be in a good shape."

"Very good, once I sober up I am going to deal with you for talking to me like I'm your friend…"

"I'm talking to you, not as a subordinate but as a sister, it's about time you quit this, Carol is gone but you have Tasha…"

"You know nothing, I'm left with nothing I lost Carol, and Tasha is dying too (laughing in pain) How would you know, you never loved Carol like your blood sister and same as Tasha…"

"Don't say that, I loved Carol the difference is that I wasn't possessive as you were…"

"Love, do you even know what that is, if you did would Carol end up six feet down?"
