"Guys, are you ready?" Jake asked through his AirPods.
"Yes," everyone replied.
"You all know what your roles are, so let's get started."
Charlie and Jake entered, dressed as rich society men.
"Mr. Steve, Mr. Carnal, welcome," Sunny, disguised as a bouncer, said.
"Who are they?" a bouncer beside Sunny asked.
"You don't know them?" Sunny asked, pretending to be shocked.
"No!" He said.
"They're big bosses in the water business, and they've been best friends for a long time," Sunny explained.
"I will search them to know more about them on the internet, let's attend to the other guest."
Charlie and Jake entered the hall and sat down.
"Waiter," Jake called out to a waiter nearby, signaling him to bring drinks.
"Welcome, sir," Mark, disguised as a waiter, came to where they were seated and gave them drinks.
"Everyone's drinks are laced, except the men and women who are big shots," Mark whispered.
"The people given charity drinks are laced."
"The rooms are filled with aphrodisiac used to make anyone have the urge to have sex," Mark added.
"I served Sea and Favor drinks to avoid any problem, while I made sure you and Charlie's drink is not laced."
"You can go back to your position; mission starts now, everyone to their position," Jake instructed.
Favor and Sea walked in, dressed as oldies, representing the people helped by Mr. Parker, the politician.
With the help of Sunny as a bouncer, they entered easily without any questioning.
They both sat down in the invitees' table.
Outside the club, Charles was talking to a girl on the phone, smiling.
"Who is that?" Micheal asked after the call ended.
"Are you jealous?" Charles asked, putting his hands around Micheal's waist.
"What! I am not jealous; I just want to know the Sammy girl you were speaking to on the phone," Micheal replied.
"She's my friend," Charles said.
"Oh, okay…"
"So, can I kiss you now?"
"We have to keep the AirPods first," Micheal said.
"Okay," Charles replied, going to the front side of the seat to keep them there.
Micheal thought to himself, looking frustrated and tensed, "Oh God, I'm not supposed to be jealous; this is supposed to be a mission to get the truth, then we go back to our former lives."
Charles returned, turned Micheal to face him, and immediately captured his lips.
"We should be fast because you know we are backup," Micheal said, looking breathless from the kiss.
"Okay, shut up; let me kiss you," Charles replied, and moaning and breathless sounds could be heard inside the car.
Inside the hall, the man at the podium said, "Welcome to the 'Help the Poor' event. You know how we do it – you auction for the one you want, the highest bidder wins, and then, by morning, the bosses transfer what we agreed on."
He continued, "Let the bidding begin. Note that if you are not satisfied with the women you bid on, you can swap and add something to it."
Immediate anybody who were bid were to different rooms.
Charlie went with his partner, who he identified by number, and walked up to see his partner, who happened to be a woman.
"I like your partner; can we exchange? We will add a contract with the bidding price?" Charlie asked in a thick man's accent.
"Okay," the woman replied, and they exchanged while Jake exchanged his partner with Favor.
Sunny said through the AirPods, "The drug operation is about to start; everyone is seated."
Jake instructed, "Okay, Favor and Sea, you both can pass the back door and leave. Be careful; go to the car for safety, while Charlie and I will go to one of the free rooms to gather evidence before they are cleaned up."
"Ok," Favor and Sea replied, turning to leave.
Jake instructed, "I have informed Charlie's uncle; Sunny, the moment you notice they're here, go back to the car to protect yourself, while Mark, you collect some glass cups as proof, then leave the hall to the car too."
He added, "Charlie, you copy the surveillance footage of the hall before they are deleted and save it, including the ones outside."
"On it already," Charlie replied.
Mark collected the glass cups and went to the car, where Charles and Micheal were seated, as Charles saved all the footage.
Charlie and Jake entered one of the rooms and started collecting evidence.
The minute Charlie's uncle arrived with other officers
Here is the rest of the edited text:
The minute Charlie's uncle arrived with other officers, Sunny left the scene safely and went to the car at the back.
Sea and Favor reached the gate, and everywhere was rowdy, with fighting and killing from both sides. Favor was pushed and grazed his arm, barely escaping.
"Sorry, gently let me help with this first," Sea said, bringing out a handkerchief from her bag to clean the blood.
"Should I wrap the wound up?" she asked.
"No," Favor replied, and left. The moment Sea was sure Favor had left, she looked at the handkerchief she was holding and smiled wickedly, putting it in her bag.
"Even the almighty God is in our side," Sea said, and left.
"Guys, don't come outside until the fighting is over to avoid danger," Micheal said, worried, through his AirPods.
"Ok," Charlie replied.
"Is everyone safe?" Jake asked.
"Yes, Favor got injured, but he has been sent to the hospital by Sea; it's a minor injury," Charles said.
"That's good. When everywhere is cleared, inform us," Jake said.
Jake and Charlie looked at the room and continued to gather evidence. At some point, Charlie started feeling hot.
"I feel hot; I think it's the effect of the drugs," Charlie said.
"Why didn't you close your nose well? Now you've inhaled the aphrodisiac. You were not careful enough," Jake scolded.
"I know. Can you please help me?" Charlie asked.
"How?" Jake replied.
"Just fuck me to get it out of my system. It's a one-time thing; don't worry," Charlie pleaded, pulling his AirPods from his ear and doing the same with Jake.
"Are you sure?" Jake asked.
"Yes, 100 out of 100. I will pretend that it never happened tomorrow; I swear," Charlie replied.
"You said this yourself," Jake said, bringing Charlie's lips to his and kissing him until he was out of breath. Then, he carried him to the bed.
"Do you have a particular position in mind?" Jake asked.
"Any style," Charlie replied, and they went back to business. Sounds and moaning could be heard inside the room.
A few hours later, Jake tapped Charlie to wake him up.
"Charlie, wake up," Jake said.
"Why?" Charlie asked in a sleepy tone.
"Everywhere is already cleared; let's leave to avoid suspicions," Jake explained.
"Fine," Charlie replied, dressing up, and they both left the room.
"Don't forget it never happened. I would rather not hear any rumor from anywhere, including the gang," Jake threatened.
"I know, jeez. Like I want to be on the same rumor as you. Do you expect me to carry a signboard that I just had a one-night stand with a jerk?" Charlie replied.
"I helped you last night; be nice," Jake said.
"Like you didn't enjoy it. Anyway, thanks," Charlie replied, and they walked to where the remaining gang members gathered.
"Mission accomplished!" Charlie exclaimed, hugging Sea and Micheal.
"Yeah," Sea replied.
"You both are here; I thought you went to the hospital?" Charlie asked.
"After we left the hospital, we came back to check on you guys," Sea explained.
"That's sweet of you," Charlie said.
"What do you expect? You guys are my friends," Sea said, starting to dance.
"You are a weird girl. Where did you get the music you're dancing to?" Favor asked.
"None of your business. And by the way, I helped you to the hospital last night and brought you back in one piece. The least you could do is talk politely," Sea retorted.
"You…" Jake interrupted Favor.
"If you're not tired, others are. Let's go back and rest. By now, the main head would have gotten information that the mission was successful, so we'll wait until we get a message. But for now, let's go. And also, welcome to the Five Flowers Gang," Jake said.
"Thank you," the three replied.
They all got into the car and left, leaving behind the trails of tires.
