"How do I look? Does my moustache look okay?"
Arianna came out of the changing room to see her best friend looking like a goofball character from a comedy show in the early 1990s. Her mouth dropped a little as Skye adjusted her fake moustache and her jacket in front of the mirror.
"Skye, are you trying to get us killed? What the heck are you wearing?" She twirled to her direction and all she could do was wiggle her fake eyebrows, "we need to look like real investors, your disguise is a joke right now."
"Well somebody has to be the man between us, and I think I do well at that." Her voice turned from feminine to slightly masculine. Arianna's hand rubbed her face in annoyance and she let out a groan.
"If we get caught, I will kill you before they do." She led the way while her silly bestie followed her. Skye had a thing for disguises, often they called her the master of disguise but sometimes she could get carried away and come up with the silliest characters just to get the job done.
They got into an Uber and they were on their way to the HQ of Keller's Code Cooperation, the company that was behind the credit card fraud and they were getting in as investors.
The girls talked via texting as they were on their way there so the driver wouldn't hear them and when they got down. They tipped him and he sped off. They moved to the entrance and were stopped by guards.
"ID please." He was well above 6ft with a lot of muscle, he wore a black uniform and shades to make him look ominous. They both brought out their ID and he checked it, glanced at their faces to double check, "come in." He nodded and let them in.
As they walked into the building, they sighed in relief until they were stopped by a weird sound, "stand in the box." It was robotic and they believed it was another security check so they did. They were scanned, "welcome to KCC, have a lovely day." It greeted them and they rushed inside.
"So many security checks!" Arianna whispered to Skye, it was absurd, what were they hiding that they had to scan them.
"It's only normal for a company like this, let's just find some evidence and get out of here." They moved faster and now they were in the heart of the building, "we should split up." Skye suggested.
"Are you sure?" Arianna didn't quite agree with that but at the end of the day, it was Skye's mission and she was just accompanying.
"Yes, we cover more ground that way. And act normal, there's CCTV everywhere." And with that, both girls split. Arianna went north and Skye went South.
Skye walked briskly through the large company, it was covered in glass from head to toe so everything cast a reflection on everything, although the design was beautiful, it was also cryptic, the reflection of light made some CCTVs hard to see, making it look like there was none at all.
She made a sharp turn and her walking speed increased.
"Mr Richard! You're here so early?" Skye froze for a hot second before she realised she was Mr Richard. She cleared her throat to act.
"Ah yes! Family emergency so I had to come earlier than usual. Where is Mr Keller? I wish to talk to him for 30 minutes and I will be off." Skye adjusted her tie and wriggled her moustache a little before she was attended to by the man that called her, who happened to be Leonard's PA.
"Right this way sir, Mr Keller is in his office at the moment." The man led her straight to Leonard but when they got to the door, there was no handle, instead he pressed a few buttons and the door pulled apart, "sir, Mr Richard is here early." His PA announced and left them both to discuss business.
Skye's heart raced as she saw Leonard sitting in front of her, his eyes still buried in the large pile of paperwork he had on his desk. His hair was packed into a rough ponytail and his glasses framed his beautiful face. She was standing close to the man that made love to her that night.
"Have your seat Mr Richard, feel at home." He offered her a seat and she calmly took it, she was not able to take her eyes off him, he was glorious, and as she gazed upon him longer, memories of last night flooded her mind, making her cheeks turn red. Leonard dropped the file and raised his brows a little, "are you alright Mr Richard?" His guest was acting a little weird.
"Yes I am, just stressed. So about our business." Skye got into acting mode and Leonard smiled a little.
"We have secured the shares of the company, we can take over from next week. Mr Truman had no choice but to surrender." His chuckle went from lighthearted to dark in an instant and he handed Skye the file, "this is everything pertaining to the business, your transfer of $123M is pending, pay it In and consider the business yours."
Skye read the papers and secretly took pictures of it without his knowledge before handing it back.
"The transfer will be done this evening." She confirmed, pausing a little, watching how he clicked away on his computer with his lips pursed into a small smile. Her eyes dilated in lust, she wanted him for another night. Just as she was about to say something, his PA rushed in.
"Sir! Sir! There's an emergency, your attention is needed immediately." he was almost out of breath and Leonard didn't like his panicked state, his PA never panicked.
"Mr Richard, I will be back." It was all he said before he followed him out of the office. Immediately Skye got to work, she attached her phone to his monitor and clicked it multiple times till it brought out a passcode.
"Fuck!" she hissed under her breath as she tried to decode it, time was going but she was finally able to get in and began copying his files. She then gets a text from Arianna, "he is almost there, are you done?" She read out, she looked at the monitor and it was just 59%. She disconnected and went back to her seat, a second later, Leonard came in.
"Mr Richard you would need to leave immediately!" He announced as he came in and went to the corner, he pressed some buttons and the wall came out of nowhere a secret door opened, "FCC is here, take the stairs down, leave through the 3rd exit, i will alert you when everything is safe."
Skye didn't question and immediately she went out. She took the stairs and passed the 3rd exit and she found herself at the back of the company. She pulled her phone from her pocket and called her partner in crime.
"Did you call FCC?" She briskly made her way to the back gate that didn't have as much security as the front.
"No…someone else did. I'm outside in the blue car, hurry." Arianna ended the call, Skye was able to locate the blue car and both ladies sped off.
It was a call too close.
"Here it is boss. I couldn't get everything but I got more than half." She handed her phone over And the files were transferred.
"You did well girls, you can take the remaining days off to rest. We will see on Monday." He congratulated them and they were dismissed.
Skye and Arianna went back to the changing room to take off their disguise, so many things ran through her mind.
"I can't believe everyone fell for your disguise." Arianna made fun of her but Skye didn't bulge, her mind was a road rage of thoughts, "is everything alright Skye?" A gentle hand landed on her lower back and she snapped out of her thoughts.
"Who called FCC?" She asked her bestie but Arianna couldn't give her an answer. It haunted her for days, her mini vacation was restive as she tried to figure out who would have called their base. Who else was inside KCC?
Or maybe it was a plan to expose them?
Days went by and Skye was getting sicker by the day, she always woke up with nausea and was weak throughout the day. This particular day was really bad as she laid in bed all day.
"I think you need to see a doctor, Skye." Her bestie had come to pay her a visit after hearing what had happened to her, she was concerned as Skye turned and turned in bed, refusing to eat anything.
"No I'm fine." She refused, moaning lowly in discomfort.
"I don't want to hear it, we are going to the hospital." She put her foot down and in half an hour, they were on their way to the hospital.
Hours had passed and Skye was waiting for the results of her test, Arianna had left to attend to something important but promised to pick her up after she was done. Her eyes were laced with dark bags and her skin was pale, she looked like she could be blown by the mind to a faraway place.
The doctor finally arrived and took his seat with a file in her hands.
"How are you doing Miss Motley?" She flashed a small smile at her which calmed her down.
"Not too good doctor, what did my test say?" Skye scratched her elbow, something she did when she was nervous.
"Miss Motley, you're 2 weeks pregnant."
