Hooded.

The next morning. Sela was up before her usual waking hour.

"Annieee!" She called from the door adjacent to her room. A corridor ran between 5 bed rooms and at the end was the stairs to the ground floor and up to the 3rd floor. Sela's bedroom was the last at the end of the corridor on the left while Annie had the one to the right. The rest of the rooms were Sela's brother's, Jake, and the other 2 were just guest rooms. Her parents used the room up and the other rooms were the special room and study room.

"Uhm yes?" Annie was still drowsy. It was too early to be up. The time was 5:30am.

"You better wake up now. We don't have the whole day." Sela nagged her servant. Well, they were best friends already.

"Ok." Annie opened the door for Maeia but no one was there. She was already down in the kitchen trying to make some pancakes. Annie had to take a quick shower, change into a pair of dark trouser and jacket to cover her blouse. It was a simple wear but she looked just perfect. Nothing wrong.

"I'm ready now." Annie stepped into the kitchen.

"That's good. Have some." Maeia welcomes her for breakfast as she takes her turn to use the bathroom.

"When did you learn to make pancakes?" Annie yelled at the figure on the stairs.

"I don't just watch, I learn." Sela replied before asking, "How is it?"

"What is what?" Annie asked with a mouth jammed with a piece of pancake.

"Just eat." Maeia stepped over the last steps and over to the frog kingdom.

By the time these Ladies were out of the guards eye, they boarded a taxi and hid their way to Miami.

"Ok that's the picture of Bryan. His second name is Gindi." Maeia reminded her friend. They stood outside Miami behind a statue.

"I will wait here. Just text me." Sela Maeia was not really sure how she should meet him. She had faked her photo with Annie so she just hoped Bryan will understand.

Meanwhile as Maeia waited patiently, something different from expectation happened.

Bryan had been seated waiting for Maeia when he saw the lady walk in. It was all like a wet dream. It was her. He confirmed the picture in his gallery and it was surelly her! Annie suddenly stopped some meters away and double-checked the photo on her phone. It was not him!

The man in her phone was Bryan Gindi. With black short hair trimmed evenly. While the Bryan she met was tall brown haired. She was confused. This Bryan also looked older than the Bryan she knew. It was like someone had just poured a bucket of water on her.

"Hi. Please have a seat." Bryan didn't know where to kick off. Maeia is soo nervous he thought. Maybe is because of the photos, he wondered.

"Are you Bryan Gindi from the Highlands?" She suddenly asked.

"Yea. Its me." He replied cooly.

"And who is this.?" Annie suddenly showed him the picture on her phone. Bryan felt like sweat was dripping over.

"That's my brother." He replied.

'Atleast,'Annie relaxes as she confirmed her doubt.

"Can we go to my room? Am not comfortable here." Bryan requests.

"Sure." Annie accepted after knowing that this Bryan was not Maeia's Bryan.

Outside Miami.

The sun was dominant. Maeia stood outside the elegant Miami Restaurant beside a great statue of a famous Mau-Mau warrior*¹ which Sprinkled water from the top. The road was busy as ever. It was now a 20 minutes of wait. Her patience was running out. She had a deal with her servant Annie but the latter was not picking her call, she didn't even reply with a sms, this was unusual. Annie would never ignore her Mistress, no matter what!

"What is she doing?" Maeia wondered as she decided to walk into the restaurant and meet the man for herself.

*****

Ten blocks away from Miami.

In a pentagular room that had the left window facing the east, giving out a broad aerial view of Angels city, Four men stood around a circular ebony table at the centre of the room. A deep discussion was going on.

'Knock knock'

A resonating knock from the door interrupts the men.

"I said we should not be disturbed!" The leader of the group answered with a voice full of authority.

"Sorry my excellency, but I have to report this...Little miss escaped."

'Bang!'

The leader of the so group slammed his fist on the table.

"Find her now.!" He was visible annoyed. This was the second time he had been disrupted with the same news.

"How can she escape! Fools!" He had more than 50 guards to protect his home, and security cctvs on every corner, just how do they say she left unnoticed!

"Go!" He shouted back at the guard who was obviously fear stricken and forgot to leave at the first command.

"The plan still goes on. Miami must fall today!"

"Agent Z..." Whatever was to be said got cut short.

"Sir, the bomb is fixed." A short white haired man, around the age of 60 in toxedo says. He stood on the right of the Boss and from the way he participated in this conspiracy, he was not one to mess with.

"Great, now lets get to plan two. Honourable Ge please." The Boss says with a smile. "Ge, what are you thinking?"

Of the four men in the room, Ge looked more bizarre. He was the youngest. A young Lord claiming to be the prince of an onymous kingdom in the East of Asia.

"I think we should abort the mission today..." Prince Ge suggested after a moment of thinking.

"And why should we?!." The man on the left opposed. All had be set up well, now on the last minute someone suggest a mission abort! No way! Miami has to fall today.

"Boss think bout this, Your daughter is out there in town, you don't know where, she might be having a cup of tea inside Miami."

"Ge, my daughter loves the continental hotel and she would never dine in Miami,a filthy restaurant of a pimp." Boss was not going to let this opportunity pass. "Harold, the count down starts now.!" He calmly ordered the old mam on his right who immediately sent a signal to his assasin, Agent Z.
