The Calm Before

The Matten coven was gathered in the living room of their penthouse once again, the night sky casting a serene yet tense backdrop to their preparations.

The atmosphere was heavy with a mix of excitement and focus as they geared up for the next phase of their mission. Ezra sat on the edge of the couch, mulling over the details of their task, while Gen lounged comfortably, her eyes glinting with anticipation. Olivia stood before them, her presence commanding attention.

"I know I've been busy this past week," Olivia began, breaking the silence. Her tone was serious as she stared them in the eye. "I've actually been gathering money in anticipation of a situation like this."

Ezra and Gen exchanged glances.

"As we agreed," Olivia continued, "the first step in our plan to unite the two gangs is to create a new gang for them to unite under. Given the existing rivalry, neither gang will willingly come under the other. We need a neutral ground."
