It was morning and now I'm getting ready to start the day. I wore blue jeans with a simple white crop top along with my favorite black leather jacket. Leaving my blazing hair down while I put on a simple natural makeup. Once I'm done, I wore my black combat boots ready to go out. But then, my charged phone light up, and a notification pop." Damn, I almost forget my phone." I said while walking over to my nightstand and pick up my phone to see a message saying, " Be down ASAP, u gotta go to meet with Mikael." It was from Tim and then another ding comes. This time Vanessa text me, " It's time girl, go down to the main hall that's located in the B wing corridor 15. Mikael and the rest are waiting. Don't let them wait too long or it'll be trouble. " I squeal at the news remembering that it's time to get my people then I text back at Vannesa saying "I'm ready, on the way down". I'm finally getting my own man. I go out of my room to rush down to start my long-waited recruiting.Now

They stay silent as they listen to my story, not even stopping to drink their coffee. "I was scared but my curiosity got the best of me. Also, it would be nice if we could find his weakness and story. If we get to know him more, we could find an opening to attack. It could be our major advantage when we rise, as Shallow Rail. You're not planning to stay and act loyal to him forever right? We have to move sooner or later. My plan is to move in 2 or at most 3 years. After I established my division, combined with your's and Mark's division, we would have plenty enough. With that, if we could have a relationship with another lower or newbie gang, we could increase our group's strength. Or maybe we could look for people on the streets that can join us or maybe if we're lucky, we find kids that can be trained from small. Before y'all protest, I'm not saying we force them, it's just a proposal." I finished as they just nod their head in silence and finally took a sip of their drinks, as do

My face goes beet red in the realization that I've been staring too long. I turned around and said," C-Can you put on something. You know I'm coming tonight and yet you're like that. Aren't you embarrassed?" But he just chuckled in reply and goes behind me and back hugged me while closing the door. I squealed in surprise as he suddenly hugged me and raise me above the ground then sits me down on his lap while he sits on the bed. "What the fuck are you doing right now?! Let me go!" instead of complying with my demand, he puts his head on the crook of my neck as he tightens his hugs. I can feel the heat of his skin from my back and its wetness from the shower where he didn't dry it properly. My body tighten up as his breath touched my neck, it was warm yet arousing. I'd be lying if I say I hate it but I'm sane enough to stick to what I'm coming here for. As I was about to open my mouth in protest he cuts me and shush me as he said in a husky and whisper voice, " Do me a favor

After Vanessa finish sharing her information, she sits down beside me and I got up. I walk around the table to go towards the large window that shows you a beautiful display of the city. It's bustling and people going in and out of the main building and the shop around, people walking across the street also the glimmering light from the building glass reflection. Everyone stays silent, seeming to slowly process their newfound information, "What do you think of those who rebel and betray me? Will you kill me if someone other than me tells you to? I'm in for picking ELICO but if any of you have a valid reason to oppose, I'm all ear for it."  No one makes a sound, the room was so quiet as if a mosquito buzz could be heard clearly. After a good minute of silence, someone clears their throat and speaks, "Umm, I'm not sure what do you mean by that but as who we are now, we're no longer just anyone. We're here to sign up not for the gang but for you. I don't know if some think

The building of Mirage took more or less 3 months, during that time, the team are busy recruiting and training at the same time, I and Vanessa tried to tour around ELICO. It really is a night district. During the day, the road is almost empty just with a couple of stores open. Some cars and people were around for either a cafe or a bookstore. There are only three malls in the area and there is nothing iconic around. No wonder this whole time no one wants this place. But for me, it's perfect. Especially for the preparation of Shallow Rail, this location is the best hideout since it's the furthest and nearest to Mark's Location.  Since we're crashing in Dex's place the members all goes familiar with each other. But Dex was rarely in since he does a lot of missions. I haven't been seeing mark lately too. Today in particular was quiet. I have no schedule and was very bored so I decide to walk around the mall near here. It's been a while since I goes to the mall. I'll get so
