Chapter 1

I'm about to go inside." I talk into my earpiece, letting my sister Toni know my next move.

"Alright. If there's an emergency, you know what to do. Be safe, Ray. "

" I'm always safe." I reply, chuckling slightly under my breath."

" Says the daredevil, who lives dangerously."

" I love the wild side," I add, smirking because I know she's rolling them light brown eyes of hers.

I bet you do." She laughs, which makes me smile. "Make sure you put your contact lenses in."

"I'm on it."

Toni created special contact lenses, which have a little camera installed that lets her see everything that's going on.

After I put on my contact lenses, I step out of my car, leaning against the door, taking a look at the rundown two-story house that appears to have been abandon for quite some time before shutting my door. I make my way over to the house, looking at the place once more before making it to the derelict doorway. I knock on the door waiting a few minutes before the door opens, with two large guys in black suits staring me down.

" What do you want?" One of the men asks harshly, speaking in a deep tone.

" I'm here to see if I can work for Bison," I announce, causing the two men to look at each other letting out a snicker.

"You look like you can't even hurt a fly." The other man jokes, which makes the other laugh harder.

" Are you going to let me in or not?" I ask, getting a bit annoyed by the two of them.

" Check him." One of the men tells the other, and he does.

When the man finishes patting me down, they let me inside. I look around the place in amazement. I scan the spacious room, admiring the beautiful artwork by some of the greats, including my favorite. David Nordahl. As I continue to look around the room, I see workers bringing in stolen merchandise and workers at desks sorting money with cash sorter machines.

When we get it to Bison's office, I see him with his back turned, talking to a man. The conversation is an unpleasant one because the man looks like he's about to shit himself.

" You better find my money, or I will skin your ass alive." Bison threatens, the scared man tightly gripping his shirt. " DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR??!!!"

" Y-Y-Yes." The man stutters, clearly terrified for his life.

Bison loosens his grip on the man, letting go. The man runs straight out of his office with tears streaming down his face. Bison straightens his gray suit, which shows off his slim yet built figure, turning around, facing us, giving an evil smirk as the villains do in the movies, staring at me with his dark brown eyes.

" Look what we have here." He smirks maliciously at me. " We finally meet. I heard about all of your other missions, and I mean, what can I say? They were all CLUSTERFUCKS.

" I'm not here to start trouble. I'm here to see if I can work for you. I heard you needed some people to help with your "project."

" What about your agency?" He laughs mockingly, rubbing his beard, which disgusts me.

" I'm resigning from the agency. They won't be my problem much longer."

I've been in the agency for a long time. I love my job, and I love that I get to save lives, but I feel like there's more I can do with my life.

Bison strokes his beard slowly, thinking to himself before speaking again. " I could use the help.....Tell you what, I have jewels in my safe that's worth 500 trillion dollars. I need you to store them in separate containers, can you do that?

" No problem," I answer confidently, and Bison nods.

Bison nods at the two men, letting them know to take me to the jewels. The two men walk me to a secluded area, taking me to a massive vault. One of the men puts a code in, and it opens. I enter inside, looking around at the big stacks of money, diamonds, Rubies, and other expensive merchandise. I begin sorting through the jewels. As I put them in the containers, I look around, searching for cameras.

I know he's watching my every move.

Bison's POV

I look through the camera I have on my monitor, looking at Ray sort through the jewels.

" How do you feel about him, boss?" My top worker known as the crusher asks as we both look at the monitor. I turn to look at him, letting out a slight chuckle." I already know what he's trying to do."

" What do you mean, boss?."

" I'm very acquainted with his family. We have some history. I know he has something up his sleeve, and I'm going to find out." I give him a grin, and he gives me one in return before looking back at the screen.

Ray’s POV

After about 30 minutes, I finally finish. I inform the two men, and they escort me back to Bison's office.

" I did what you asked. So, am I in?" I ask, through raised eyebrows, folding my arms.

Bison rubs his head as if he has hair, thinking to himself before answering. " I guess I can trust you... You're in."

" Great. Quick question. What if I fail multiple missions? Or decide if I want to get out?

" Then you'll just have to face the consequences." He states, giving that smirk of his that makes me uncomfortable. " Because once you join with me, YOU'RE A PART OF ME, and if you turn against me or fail me, you would have to start looking for a casket."

I take in every word he says, which makes me think to myself. I know it's my job to protect people, and if I have to die to keep them safe, I will, but this is on a whole different level. This guy is the most dangerous criminal. I know If I mess up, he's going to make sure he tortures me before he kills me.

I Swallow the lump in my throat as I answer. " I understand."

" Good." He smiles, which is much creepier than his smirks. " You seem like a good kid. These are your first couple of missions, so I'll cut you some slack."

" What's the first mission?"

" I want you to pay him a visit." He replies, pulling out a picture, handing it to me. I take a look at the picture, noticing the familiar man.

" I'm sure you know that this man is the biggest billionaire in the world. His name is David Scott. He turned his back on me when I needed him the most, so now I want payback."

I look from the photo to him as so many thoughts go through my mind. " What kind of payback are you looking for?"

Going after one thing, he loves the most." After he pauses for dramatic effect, he finally speaks again. " His daughter."

********************************

After getting the information that I need from Bison, I leave his place. Once I'm back in my car, I pull off, making my way to the agency. When I arrive, I enter the building, which somewhat resembles the MIB agency. I approach the front desk, instantly being greeted by the receptionist.

"Good Morning, agent R." She greets me, giving me a warm smile.

" Good Morning, Emily," I respond, giving her a smile in return, before walking towards the huge glass doors.

I grab the two handles, which causes a holographic identify scanner to appear on one of the doors. It scans my face, and soon the doors unlock. I walk to my sister's desk to find her not there. I look over at the desk beside hers, where my best friend Justin is on his computer, appearing to be doing research.

" Hey, Justin. Have you seen Janet?"

Justin looks from his computer to me, giving me a small smile, before he answers. " Wassup, Ray. She's training at the dojo.

" Ok, thanks." I give a quick nod before I turn to walk off. I'm about to leave when Justin calls me, causing me to turn back around.

" Do you mind if I walk with you? I'm heading down there myself. I'm taking Toni to lunch."

"I don't mind, man," I reply, shrugging my shoulders. Justin gets up from his chair, quickly walking up to me.

" What are you doing taking my sister to lunch? you're my boy but don't get messed up." " I playfully grab him by his collar before releasing him.

" Yeah, whatever. You're not going to do anything about it, man." Justin asserts as he pushes me playfully before he starts walking off.

We walk to the dojo and enter, seeing Toni sparring with Jenny, who's a trainee. The two go toe to toe with each other, but Toni quickly ends the fight by doing a jab and cross, giving two jabs to the left cheek and one to the other, catching Jenny off guard, which makes her fall to the mat.

" You did good, girl." Toni lets out a chuckle before helping her up from the mat.

" Damn, girl. You didn't have to beat my ass like that ." Jenny laughs, causing us all to chuckle, which catches their attention.

How long have you two been standing there?" Jenny inquires, putting her hands on her hips.

" Since you got your ass beat." Justin teases, causing me to burst out laughing.

" Shut up." Jenny quickly runs over to Justin, playfully punching his arm.

" You did good, Jen." I compliment her, making her smile.

" Thanks, Ray. You're so nice." She gives me a sweet smile before rolling her eyes playfully at Justin." Unlike some people.

" Hey, T." I greet my sister with a smile.

" Wassup, bro." She gives me a smile in return, hugging me.

I bet you can't do that to me." I tease, causing her to roll her eyes.

" Yeah, right."

" I know you're going to lunch soon, but can I talk to you for a minute?"

" Sure."

We walk over to the nearest bench, sitting down together.

" I see that you and Justin are getting all close, going to lunch with each other." I wiggle my eyebrows at her, and she pushes me."

" Stop." She slightly blushes. When she realizes she's blushing, she quickly straightens her face. " It's not like that.

I'm not going to freak out. If you like my best friend, then go for it. I honestly think you two would make a cute couple."

"He's my type. He's tall, has brown skin, has cute dimples, and is muscular. More importantly, he's sweet, respectful, patient, and a gentleman." Toni confesses, which makes me smile.

I playfully nudge my blushing sister on the shoulder. " You need to tell him how you feel."

" What about Yasmine? You should tell her how you feel." She teases, causing me to scoff.

"She's married. And she's our boss. As much as I want her to be mine, I can't disrespect her marriage."

" I hear you...How's the mission going?"

" Bison wants me to go after this man named James Scott's Daughter. I have no idea who the daughter is. His daughters are practically a secret.

"Oh my God. Toni covers her mouth in shock before she looks up at me with concern in her eyes." James Scott is Yasmine's father."
