( Mamoru's POV )

            I wake up the next morning to the sound of music playing somewhere else, sounds like the kitchen. I stretch, before going out to the balcony to smoke. I light a cig, inhaling the smoke, recalling how last night Soryu, and Felicia had basically drafted everyone for their plan to get Mei Ling. They came back last night, after their meeting with the black foxes, to announce they needed us all, including Eisuke. We had four days to get ready, and also four days to draft five more people, to make it so everyone had a partner.

                 It was slightly irritating, being dragged into this shit, thanks to the kid and Soryu. Though I will admit it's funny to see someone boss Eisuke around for a change. The kid, and her friend, Cecilia, seem to have no problem telling anyone what they really think, and they don't put up with anyone's shit. The other two they brought around, Scarlett, and Kris, were the same in that aspect.

              We were all a little wary to piss them off, for we had already seen Cecilia, take Soryu on, and disarm him no less. No, these were not your average women, that's for damn sure.

            I stamp out my cig on the railing, heading back inside, to find the source of music. I stop in the doorway at the end of the hall, right by the kitchen. I quietly observe the kid, as music plays from her phone on the counter, as she whisk eggs, slightly swaying her hips to the music.

               I resist the urge to laugh, because I think it's the first time I've seen her let loose. Though she seemed happier with the other girls around, especially the blonde. They were close, you could tell, and the blonde seemed to be protective of the kid, and though Cecilia didn't give off the mafia vibe like the kid did, she certainly seemed to have the ability to be in one. Hell we all watched her disarm Sor, and that wasn't something we saw very often. No, Cecilia wasn't one to be trifled with.

            I watch the kid, as she places the bowl in the fridge, still dancing, as she gathers more ingredients on the counter. She was wearing a tank top and shorts, revealing her tattoos. She had always worn a jacket or sweater before, so I hadn't seen them. She had a wolf in a dream catcher on one shoulder, and an odd tribal design, from her elbow, all the way up to her neck.

              She stopped to turn up her music, the end of Born to be Wild playing. Though it sounded like a cover of it, Hinder's version, I believe. The song finishes, and she glances around quickly, before changing the song. A different beat starts playing, different from the rock she had on a minute ago. She starts singing quietly, as she gathers ingredients. "Loca loca. And I'm crazy but you like it! Loca loca." She sings, dancing around the kitchen, to Shakira's Loca.

A throat clears suddenly next to me, and I jump, slightly startled, to find Cecilia narrowing her blue eyes at me. "Are you watching her, you perverted bish?" She asks, glaring at me.

"I'm not a pervert. Just the first time I seen the kid let loose." I mutter, running a hand back through my hair, not meeting her gaze. "Besides, I don't check out kids." I add, after a minute, still slightly embarrassed.

She smirks, rolling her eyes at me, not saying anything as she goes to join the kid. Felicia smiles at her, pulling her farther into the kitchen, motioning for her to dance as well. Luckily the kid doesn't notice me, and Cecilia doesn't give me away. I smile slightly, watching them dance together, laughing. Cecilia picks the next song, singing along with the music as she dances. "If you really want more, scream it out louder. Get on the floor, bring out the fire." Cecilia sings, as they shake their hips, putting their hands in the air to usher's more, a remix of it though.

The music changes again, to Shake ya tailfeather, by Nelly and P Diddy. "Damn look at you go" Felicia exclaims, whistling as she watches the blonde dance to the song, moving expertly, and you would have thought they were at a club or something the way they were dancing. They play two more songs, Bump Bump Bump, and Hey Baby Drop It To The Floor. Baba had emerged by this point, trying to dance with Cecilia, who shoves the flirty thief away.

The girls both quickly make breakfast, omelette's and pancakes. The rest of the guys emerge, and start eating, making a beeline for the food.

"So we need five more people.. Anyone have any ideas?" Cecilia asks, addressing everyone.

"I have at least two in mind actually." Felicia answers, taking a bite of pancake.

That gets everyone's attention, Soryu and Cecilia looking at her, waiting for her to go on. I was curious too, for it wasn't going to be easy, finding people to bring into underground business.

"Remember that girl from LRN? The hacker? The one that hacked Takuto's phone in like five minutes? Rosie. I want to call her, and the other girl, that I mistook for Yakuza, Akio. You remember, the girl that can flip people like effortlessly. We can use them I think, we could always use another hacker, and it's been awhile since anyone was able to put me on my ass. So Rosie, and Akio." She explains, glancing at everyone.

            "You think they would be okay getting involved in underground business?" Soryu asks, raising an eyebrow at Felicia, who shrugs.

            "Don't know until we ask. I think it's a safe bet though. A hacker is used to underground, and Akio seems like she can hold her own, I'd like to have them both join us." Felicia adds, looking at Soryu. "So we need three more if they agree, and we still need to figure out how to get in." Felicia continues, as she starts to pick up the dishes.

             The elevator dings, and Scarlett and Kris walk in, the red head starting to set up her computer in the lounge. I notice Soryu staring at the red head, and I chuckle slightly. He hears me, shooting a glare my way, as he reaches for his gun.

               "Oi isn't it a little early for a pissing contest? Shit put the gun away already." Kris shouts, waving  her hand flippantly towards me and Soryu.

                Scarlett rolls her eyes, glancing at Soryu. "Trigger happy idiot." She says, a smile tugging at her lips, as she finishes setting up her computer.

                "Whatever woman." Soryu replies, smiling slightly at the red head, before taking a seat on one of the couches. We all go over, Eisuke, Ota, Baba, Felicia, Cecilia, and I, go take our seats in the lounge as well.

                "Anyway, Felicia has two people in mind to ask, that leaves three more. Anyone?" Cecilia adds, glancing around the room.

                  "Not any coming to mind, though we can ask the boys later, see if they know anyone." Kris answers, shaking her head.

                   "Speaking of, why don't you get ahold of them Felicia, and we can even test them out. We have a mission tomorrow, and some of the boys can't make it. So we were wondering if you and Cecilia could fill in, and while we're at it, bring the two girls you have in mind, let's see what they can do." Scarlett suggests glancing towards Cecilia and Felicia.

              "Go on a mission? Tomorrow? You think we can?" Cecilia asks, looking to Kris and Scarlett.

               "You're both capable. It's more of a test for the other girls you have in mind. We were originally planning on asking you both to come with. Trust me, you both can handle it." Scarlett says dismissively, as she types on her computer. "We have everything planned, don't worry about it." She adds, after a minute.

              Were interrupted by the sound of Kris's phone going off, and after glancing at the screen, she answers. "What's up Hiro?" Kris asks, looking confused as she listens to the guy on the phone. "Well if you think so, it's worth a shot I guess. See what Riki thinks though. I just hope we can really trust her." She adds, before saying goodbye and hanging up.

We all look at Kris, waiting to see what that was about. "Oh, Hiro wants to bring his friend from art school, as his partner in on the big mission. He's gonna run it by Riki, but the girls name is Jenna Steffen. So if she joins, plus the two Felicia gets, we just need two more."Kris explains, shrugging.

Scarlett snorts. "He wants to bring his classmate in? Well, here's to hoping we can trust her. We don't have that much time though, so we need whatever help we can get I guess." Scarlett says, as she finishes typing. "Anyway, I have the plans here for tomorrow, if you girls wanna take a look." She adds, turning her laptop towards Cecilia, and Felicia.

"Speaking of, I guess I should get ahold of them, see if they can." Felicia says, taking out her phone, before walking out of the room, as Cecilia starts looking at the computer.

( Felicia's POV )

I walk out onto the nearby balcony, as I dial Rosie first.

"Hello?" She answers warily, probably not recognizing the number, even though she texted me yesterday.

"Hi Rosie, it's Felicia. I have a job, if you're interested in working in a group." I say, wondering if she will be okay with this.

"I'm listening." She replies simply.

"Well, two jobs actually. One tomorrow, one four days from now. They both require a little more than hacking, and also... The people involved... We have to be discreet. This is very much on the illegal side of stuff, though as a hacker you're probably used to that sort of stuff...." I trail off, not sure I worded this right.

"Alright. When do you want me there tomorrow?" She asks, seeming interested.

"Uh eight at night? I'll see you then. Bye, and thanks Rosie." I say, before hanging up, and proceeding to dial Akio's number.

"Hello?" Akio answers

"Hey Akio, it's Felicia." I say hesitantly. I hadn't exactly gotten her number from her, and I didn't want to explain exactly how I had gotten it.

"Okay... Though.. Uh... I didn't give you the number but alrighty then.." She adds, and I can't help but laugh.

"Sorry about that. Anyway.. I was wondering if I could have your help. You seem to be able to handle yourself, and I could use you with some business I'm involved in...." I trail off, trying to figure out how to ask. Hackers were used to illegal shit, I didn't know if Akio was.

"Okay. You sound like this might be some shady shit though." She replies, laughing.

"Honestly Akio, it is, but it's for a good cause. Just, hear me out. Try it tomorrow, and if you don't like it, you don't have to help with the second job I was gonna ask you about. Come to the penthouse at eight tomorrow night okay?" I say, running a hand back through my dark hair as I think.

"Alright. No pulling any funny shit, like pulling a knife on me again though. I won't hesitate to flip your crazy ass again" she answers laughing, before hanging up.

I go back inside to let the others know, that I got two people for the mission tomorrow, and hopefully for our bigger mission as well.

"Don't you think that's risky boss, to have someone filming here?" Baba asks, looking to Eisuke, as I walk back into the lounge.

"No, as long as we're careful." Eisuke answers, glaring at the thief, giving him a pointed look.

"Why would it be risky?" I ask suddenly, drawing their attention to me. All the boys go silent at my question, avoiding my gaze. "Who wants to film here anyway?" I ask, looking to the arrogant hotel owner once more.

"A friend of mine, whose kinda a newer producer." Eisuke answers cooly, avoiding my other question.

Scarlett snickers, looking at Eisuke. "You might as well tell them, they will be staying here awhile. Just get it over with. Besides, the foxes already know, one of the boys could spill it." Scarlett says, looking at Eisuke.

"Just tell the kid, and Cecilia. They're here long enough they will figure it out anyway."Mamoru suddenly speaks up next, a bored expression on his face.

"Tell us what?" Cecilia asks, glancing at the boys.

"About the mad hatter's tea party, pretty lady." Baba answers, winking playfully at her, which earns the thief a glare from Eisuke.

"It's a black market auction. We sell pretty much anything, mostly rare items. We hold it here during the I.V.C" Eisuke answers coolly.

A/n: hi!!! Sorry that took so long. Also, I guess that was kinda a filler chapter.. Sorry, mostly they are just trying to gather the last five people they need.. So yea.. Next chapter were going to do an all girls mission with the black foxes though! So there's that. Lol. Thanks to Cecilia for our playlist that the girls were listening to!!! Thank you!!!! I know I snuck the Hinder in there.. Lol.. XD couldn't help it, I have a weird obsession with the original lead singer of Hinder.. (Austin Winkler) sorry.. Sorry.. I just think he's hot.. Anyways... Lol. ^_^ thanks for reading!!! ^_^
