"Thank you" she thanked the guard. The cooks severed their meals, only the sounds of cutleries and sounds of birds chirping that could be heard.

She couldn't look up, deep down in her she was extremely scared of the devil before her. She could feel him staring at her but she wouldn't dare meet his glaze.

"I won't be coming back here today" Alan said. She was incredibly happy. She just nodded her head "it's like heaven is on her side today" she thought happily. Not long after he spoke he left. After eating, she went up to her room. While changing her clothes a knock came

"Come in"

"Hi" she heard Dora's voice

"Hey, come on in"

"Clowdy sent me a message"

"Okay go on"

"She said she won't be around till in the evening. She's going to the market"

"Okay, sure". Dora was about to leave when

"Uhmm Dora" Elsa called

"Yes" she said looking at her with her sparkling eyes

"Uhmm Dora please I need a favour from you" Elsa said making her sit on her bed.

"Sure"

"I'm leaving" Elsa said

"What? I don't get you" Dora said

"I want to leave here. I was brought here forcefully. My brother might be in danger. I haven't seen him since I was brought here. Please help me, he's the only family I've got" Elsa said in tears

"Am sorry I can't. If master should find out I'll be in a lot of trouble. Am sorry. Let's act like this conversation never happened" Dora said

"Please I promise not to implicate you or anything even if am caught I won't mention you. Please just help me, my brother is in danger please. I'll be back before anyone finds out" Elsa burst into tears.

"Please I beg you" she went on her knees.

"Pl...e..as..e". Dora took huge gulps

"I'll try...to...uhm..help you, but please don't let master find out"

"I promise. I promise. Thank you so much, thank you".

"When it's time I'll come to get you" Dora said exiting the room quickly.

"Let's go to the wearhouse" Alan ordered.

"Yes sir" Caleb turned the car around and headed to the warehouse.

"Morning boss" they all greeted. As usual no response came from him.

"How was the last mission" he asked Pascal who was like the head of the mobsters

"It was okay sir".

"Today we are having another mission, everyone get ready by 21:00pm. So mission analyst elaborate more on the mission" Alan said. Cora stepped out and pasted some pictures on the board

"This is Christiano Pablo. He's the owner of the casino we'd be entering. This is Michael Hunter his manager. Christiano always arrived at the casino by 8pm. He is always surrounded with his gurads. The black bag he'll be going with today contains the money we'll be exchanging but he's a sly fox, so we'll have to confirm the money before going out" she bowed gently and went back

Leah was the next to come out. She's the hacker.

"If I can get around this range in the building I'll be able to get assess in the elevator and other things". She said

"I and Elizabeth will take care of the girls he's expecting" Monica said. As usual she was dressed in her normally bit*hy clothes.

"I'll be on the lookout for Leah" Dora said

" Joseph, Pascal and Caleb will be with me. Are we all clear ?" Alan asked

"Yes boss" they all replied.

"Knock knock" Dora whispered by the door.

"Am coming" Elsa also replied with a whisper. Dora opened the door and led Elsa outside to the compound. If you keep going straight you'd see a small gate, when you pass through the gate you go towards your right side after walking for about 5 minutes you'd burst out in a small road.

"Thank you so much Dora"

"Please stay safe and don't get caught".

"Bye" Elsa said before taking off her heels. She got to the gate and looked back to see if she'd see Dora but she didn't. She immediately started her journey, she followed how Dora explained to her and burst out on a road. After running for hours she finally saw a taxi. She boarded the taxi and got home.

"Elvis" she called immediately she got inside

"Elvis!!" No response came, she searched the whole house but he wasn't inside.

"Oh no Elvis!!" She called again.

"What if he still has Elvis?"

"What if he hid him?"

"What if he?. What if he?" different thoughts were going through her head. Just as she sat on the floor crying Jacob came in

"Elsa!!" He called

"Where have you been?"

"I have been looking everywhere for you" he said as he hugged her

"Jacob my brother" she cried in his arms

"He's fine. He's okay" he assured her. She quickly pulled out of his embrace

"Do you know where he is?" She asked him.

"Yes, he's in the hospital"

"Hospital" she said

"Yeah. When I found him he was badly injured so I took him to the hospital" he narrated how he met Elvis unconscious.

"Please take me to him"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Immediately she saw him on the bed, she felt completely weak.

"Elvis" she called his name

"Elsa he's fine and free from danger you don't have to worry much" Jacob consoled her.

"Why!! Just why him!!" She cried. He was looking pale.

"How long has he been like this" she asked

"Since I found him and that's a week ago"

"Thank you so much Jacob. I own you one" she said. He wanted to ask her where she was and why she was looking thinner than before, but he felt like this was not the right time to ask her that question. He excused her to have sometime with her brother.

"Elvis why? Why would you steal?"

"Please wake up. Your sister is here. Please" she buried her head near him and cried. He's been the only family she has. It was painful and difficult to see him in pain.

She stayed like that till the next morning...
