CHAPTER THIRTY
"Meet Mr. Ballantine. He's a french investor and wants some information before investing."
Ella introduce Luke, who was wearing formal dressing which wasn't that different from his normal clothing except his hair was black and was pulled back using a gel. He was also wearing fake moustache and grey contacts.
"Okay....do you even know how to speak french?"
Iris inquired, ignoring Max and Logan who couldn't stop laughing at Luke and his moustache
"No. But I do know how to speak english with a french accent."
He replied, stroking his fake moustache
"I guess that works."
"Now meet Miss Valerie. Half-sister of Mr. Ballantine and is an opera singer."
Alex comes in wearing a glamorous dress, in contrast to her usual style of casual dressing. She had long blonde hair and ocean blue eyes due to her contacts.
"Half-sister?"
"Opera singer?"
"Well we needed to make a connection between the two of them and sister wouldn't work because they don't look that much alike and a partner wouldn't work because Alex is bad at acting that way."
Henry explains after which Lucy adds,
"And she is an opera singer because our informant is not into classical music or opera. That way they will pretend that they're famous and Henry created her wiki profile as well incase he searches her up. Not social media ones because Miss Valerie is not good with devices."
"Lastly, May I present to you Miss Karen. Personal assistant of...."
Ella stops speaking, looking at Lucy and Henry to finish
"Is she the secretary of Valerie or Ballantine?"
"Of course she is my assistant. I have a very huge business."
"No, she is mine. I am a very famous singer and I need a secretary for that."
"Oh well, we will just work it out later on."
Lucy shrugs. Amelia comes in wearing a skirt with an office shirt. She was wearing hazel contacts however she was not wearing a wig. Her normal black hair was up in a high pony tail which apparently changed her look a lot because she is normally in twin pigtail.
"Now don't they all look great?"
"Looks like your fashion designing degree came in handy."
Iris remarks making Ella grin with pride
"Now they will go and ask about all the illegal things that will happen which we will then stop and expose. Normally, I only send Logan to do these type of missions and gather information but because of his injured hand making him easily trace and because I don't want to only burden him especially after making him do this for two years."
Lucy explains
"That and also I am working on something else and I don't have time to play dress up and talk to that annoying drunkard."
Logan retorts
"What is it?"
Iris inquired but Logan shrugs in return.
"Good luck!"
They all wished their three companions who head out to meet their guy.
"I am going to go and finish that elderly home task."
Max adds after their departure
"You still don't know who stole the money?"
"The police isn't helping. Because you know how the chief of police is. He feels such small matters like this that does not give him and his fellow officers fame are useless and should be handled by us."
"And there are no cameras which I can hack to find out who did it."
Max and Henry explain
"I see. Iris and Ella. How would you two like to help?"
Lucy asks politely
"Oh! Can I? Even though I am a trainee."
Iris answers with excitement hiding behind her tone
"Sure. You are already assigned to my group so it's no problem."
"Then lets go!"
The corner of her lips curve into a smile at hearing Lucy's answer
"Great then. Although you still aren't allowed to use a gun and you don't even need one for this. So, have fun."
Lucy waves them as the three take off towards the old home
"I have to go tell Dick I can't help him."
Logan says looking at his phone, pondering over whether to deny in person or over a call
"That's good but won't he get suspicious about you backing out?"
Lucy states her doubts
"That maybe so but what other choice do I have? I can use my injured hand and me taking a break for a while as an excuse."
"Okay then. Good luck, stay sharp."
"Thanks."
He replies also leaving the house
"I am also gonna go to the safe house and check how the team's doing."
Lucy starts wearing her coat
"What about me?"
Henry questions
"What about you?"
Lucy asks while opening the door
"What should I do?"
"Hmm....I do have a task for you. But it should stay between us. I want you to track Duncan Willows."
"That eyepatch guy? Isn't he dead? Even if he isn't, his injuries should make him dead eventually."
"Even if he is dead, I want to know everything. You call yourself the greatest tech guy in the world, right?"
"I never...."
"Then prove to me that you can find him. Good bye, take care!"
Lucy smiles and leaves a lonely Henry in the house
