Realization

Hazel and the guys stopped the bikes near an awaiting crowd, Hazel looked around as she got off the bike and saw the expressions of the people waiting, all of them looked bored.

She made her mind up in a second.

'Tonight, us guys, including 10 of you will go back to their headquarters and tonight your goal will be to divide the troops among 4 people each and each group will scourge a floor and try to get as much information as you guys can, meanwhile I will take charge of the basement, Leo can choose the people who will be going with us'

'But there's nothing in the basement' Ash said.

Hazel shook her head, 'I still wanna check'

The others nodded their approval and everyone divided to get the stuff ready, Ash was in charge of the weapons, Leo of the training, and Day was in charge of the transportation, while Hazel sat in her room and planned, she knew what their opposing team was planning.

Night arrived quite quickly and without a word, the 10 guys boarded the jeep, while the others got on the bikes and soon all of them were inside, the security was quite lax.

Hazel quietly entered the basement, she pulled the covers off from the pictures and gazed at them, her hands roaming the edges, she was overcome by curiosity, This guy, the leader of this organization had known her.

'Enjoying the view, are we?' She heard a voice behind her, Hazel whipped around, startled.

It was the masked dude with 6 other men, how the hell had they crept behind her so quietly?

Panic flared inside her, she was cornered in a basement, and there was no sign of the guys.

The masked dude just stared at her, his mask had an x on it, dark ruffled hair, he looked like a mafia leader, which he was.

He cocked his head to the side.

'You don't seem afraid...my real name is Thyme'

His deep voice made her shiver, but she looked at him steadily in the eyes. He seemed to gaze deep into her soul, his eyes were terrifying.

He seemed to smirk, though it was hard to tell with the mask.

'Hazel Marshall' He whispered and everything clicked into place, this was a trap, they were meant to come inside, and they had fallen right into the trap.

'This was all planned,' she stated, just to confirm.

'What do you think? Guards, take her into the interrogation room'.

She glared at him and got into the attack stance, he looked at her for a second, before throwing his head back and laughing.

'A mere child will try to fight off 7 grown men, amazing'

She couldn't risk taking out her gun in such an enclosed place, she would just end up hitting herself. She pulled out her dagger and held it in front of his face.

'You don't know me'

He laughed again, ignoring the knife in front of his face.

'No, I do know you' He said gravely
