"your mission this night is to get enough information on Mr. Wilson, his a young business man although his young, his mind is very swift and smart too so be careful and get his fingerprint for the mission to be successful" Carson says as he is dressed in black clothing, a simple black shirt no writing and a denim black trouser, simple but shabby.

"here" Carson said handing them a pair of fancy feathery masks to fit their outfit as Archie was wearing a white tortoise neck vest embraced with a black tuxs while his given a black shiny mask with white and feathers at the exterior side of the mask.

Zephaniah was wearing a gold glittering dinner gown with a deep v-line and gold slimmer pearl net sleeves with straps heels.

"The masks have a camera in it, since mobiles are not allowed. Knowing Wilson well his well aware of his enemies around" Carson says and Archie simply nods.

Suddenly they hear the screening sound of the tires brakes shortly, the limo door open automatically and Zephaniah steps out first alongside Archie but he was stopped by the dominating voice of his father.

"Don't fuck up Archie" he says looking straight forward across the driver mirror like his stare could cut through glass into the stary sky.

"Of course" Archie says as the door closes shortly and drives off camouflaging with the dark street.

Archie breaths deeply as he looks up at the building in front of him. Anxiety couldn't shut him as fear did him worse, just staring at the building with the inscription

LIGHT CAST HOTEL

"Don't mess up the mission Zephaniah" Archie says.

"I think I should be saying that to you" she said feisty.

"Whatever let's roll over the plan"

"okay, Mr. Wilson is a hard to get attention man so we need to look professional through much interaction with influential people as possible, remember our cover names now" Archie reminds with plainly irritates Zephaniah.

"Linda grands, manger of the corporate world business"

"Preston ross, manger of the arms license both in the normal and black market, before I forget you're my +1 this night"

"as disgusting as its sounds I'm willing to manage you" she said conceitedly. They walk elegantly to the front of the hotel and enter into the reception through the big brown wooden door. Not to lie the hotel was grand and classic. As they scan the reception, a fully muscular man in a guard uniform walks up to them.

"How can I help you sir?" he asked Archie politely.

"Umm, we are here for Mr. Wilson gala please" Archie answers in that peak queak voice of his.

"What a delight, please your invitation?"

Archie reached into his inner suit bring out a white invitation card surprisingly to Zephaniah but as always she kept a disinterested face. The bulk man scrutinizes through the card and confirms its originality with a brief nod.

"Please is the lady with you?" the man asked.

"Of course" Archie smiles charmingly entangling his arms with Zephaniah who didn't even lift any cheek up to smile.

"Okay so the party is taking place in the 5th floor to your left"

"Thank you" Archie said.

They walk briefly to the sliver colored elevator as Archie press the button five on the lift pad. The two door open simulatmatously as they both enter and it closes back.

"When are you gonna quit this living dead corpse act?" Archie asks.

"I don't just like to do that thing you do with your lips" she said frankly fringed.

"To smile"

"Yes"

she said her voice sealed with abhorrence.

"You must be kidding"

"No, but the urge to kill you is unbearable" she said glancing at him slowly.

Archie smirks "so what's holding you back"

While thinking of a response, the lift stopped and opens presently a large grand hall with the theme color gold even the people were well dressed too. Zephaniah scans the room as they walk across the room to an up black cloth table filled with different rich ass wine.

"Okay that young man there wearing a white mask at the upfront" Archie whispers in her ear.

"Yeah, his Mr. Wilson" Zephaniah guessed.

"We can't get close to him directly so you get close enough to his spouse, Lauren hellen and I get close to his best man, Michael stone" Archie explains in a hush voice audible to only Zephaniah who is next to him.

"Okay got that we have to spilt now, we can't have any suspicion on us"

"I can't.... You'll escape" Archie says bluntly.

"Do you trust me?" Zephaniah asks.

"Frankly speaking no" Archie says.

"Fair enough"

"Okay lets spilt"

"Oh so now you trust me"

"Still no but you can't get away from me even though you wanted to"

They glare at each other but stop hastily as a blonde haired woman, tall and fair skinned wearing a red gown with long silt at the edge showing off her clear fair thighs.

"Umm, sorry to intrude but I will like to borrow this lovely lady please"

Archie and Zephaniah glance at each other before he says

"Of course, after all you are Lauren hellen, the queen of the party"

"And you are?" Lauren asks.

"Preston ross, owner of arms license.... I know you're certainly heard of it

"Of course, I may ask what will you be doing with my darling" as he grin toward Zephaniah who look fiercely hard at him.

"Nothing much, the women are having a little get together down the halls and I'm in charge so I decided to ask her to join while the men do their business here" Lauren said flashing a clear set of teeth.

"Okay..." was all Zephaniah said before she said,

"I'm Linda grands"

Lauren rush over to hug her but classic Zephaniah made no reaction.

"The famous sole owner of the world business, it's a pleasure!"

"The pleasure is all mine" Zephaniah said feeling utterly annoyed for no certain reason.

"Okay enough of chit chat let's go" Lauren says.

Lauren and Zephaniah were ready to leave but Zephaniah stops as Archie gently grabs her elbow.

"Oh sorry Lauren, I need to tell her something urgently....wouldn't take a second" Archie pleads and receives a curt nod in response.

"I will get the finger print, meet me in the men rooms in 10" Archie whispers in her ear and gives her a light kiss on her dark skinned cheek before release his hold from her slender waist with a smile plastered to his face.

Lauren and Zephaniah continue their journey to the down hall in silence as the tapping echo of their heels filled the empty hall until Lauren beaks the silence.

"How did you and Mr. ross meet?" she asked.

"Umm, we go way back"

"Exes?"

"Yeah, I guess the love was still there after all" Zephaniah says in a off dull tone. In a tone, where she knew she was lying but there was a linger of truth in it that she's been working effortless to get rid of but as fierce and tough as the sun is, it still there, with a fresher and healthy sheen as it no matter what happens, it always prevails.

"So how did you and Mr. Wilson meet" Zephaniah asks zoning out of the churn of thoughts she has once in a while. She found herself doing something she never thought she could do again chit chatting.

"ummm, when I met him he was a rather ruthless business man honestly for his young age but I came to like that ruthlessness in men because he could channel his mindset into variety of things" she said with her eyes glistening in astonishment, her tone holding on to so much hope it was hard to understand what she said but all Zephaniah said was

"Quite interesting" she was honestly intrigued but she decided not to pry further to avoid any suspicion.

Shortly they came in front with a big brown door as Lauren opens it presenting different women having a good time a most of them held their glasses so high filled up with French exquisite wine. Lauren took Zephaniah to the wine table as she grabbed as glass as Zephaniah followed suit.

They moved to the centre of the party floor. Lauren raiseds her glass andand hit gently with the glass transparent wine turner getting the attention of all the ladies in the room.

"Okay ladies, I'm sure you're all having the time of your lives, I would like to introduce a new friend of mine, Miss Linda Grands" Lauren shouts in delight as everyone turns to face Zephaniah and claps softly as Lauren continues

"so as our men are busy with whatever, let's have fun as ladies that we are let's give ourselves more credits," she said as she drank up her wine in one gulp.

'Friend' Zephaniah scoffs inwardly
