Forced Vows, Hidden Shadows

I burst through the back door, my heart racing with adrenaline. I had to act fast before Antonio's men realized what was happening. I spotted one of them standing guard and took him down with a swift kick to the stomach. I quickly stripped him of his uniform, exchanging it for my own clothes. My man, Ben, was right behind me, and together, we donned the stolen attire. 


 The disguise was perfect, thanks to the masks that Antonio's men wore. We blended in seamlessly, our faces hidden behind the black fabric. Charlie and the others joined us, and we quickly dispatched the remaining guards, hiding their bodies under the kitchen counters. 


 My team was small but deadly, and we moved with precision, our eyes fixed on the sitting room where Antonio's men were gathering. We merged with the group, our weapons at the ready. But to my surprise, Antonio was nowhere to be found.
