He yelled out loud. "This is money I lost! A lot of it!" He hit his hand on his desk in anger. "Damn it!" He cursed out loud."Sir, Sir. Two of our men were caught by the police. What should be done?" Lion asked since that was also a big problem.Mr. Hodge's heart was beating heavily, as his chest rose up, and down in rapid breaths. "I'll...I'll deal with that. They have to be silenced before they'

LEONARD'S POV.Creo.Where on earth did I know that name from? Hmm."Wait. Wait. I don't think I can anymore."

I think we deserve some champagne to celebrate." Mr. Hodge made it known.Mr. Barnes sighed. "I think you realize I'm taking risks here, Mr. Hodge.

We're not sure we'll be able to pull this raid off on our own." I told her.She nodded. "And backup from this place doesn't seem to be an option due to the spy that has infiltrated us."I nodded."Who is this your informant, and how sure is he that someone infiltrated us?" Captain Browne asked making me sigh as I haven't told her who the person is."His name is Owen. I haven't gotten his last name, yet. And yes, we're sure someone infiltrated us."
