"It's been 3 years," a menacing voice said, breaking the silence.

The voice belonged to an equally menacing person, tall, dark, and known to every police department and gang as Mr. Smith, the mob boss. Seated around him, were 5 fidgeting men. They had been brought to this conference room on urgent notice, though what it was about, they didn't know. The room was dark except for the blue light coming from the large digital map on the wall, where many major cities were pin-pointed in red. Other than that, all the room held was a long table, where everyone was seated.

"It's been 3 years," Mr. Smith said again. "3 long years of tracking, planning, and searching." The men around him shifted uneasily in their seats. "Can anyone tell me why that is?"

"M-Mr. Smith, sir," a trembling voice said from his right. "I-it's been v-very difficult to track her, when she keeps moving b-before we get a lock."

Mr. Smith growled and slammed his fist on the table, shattering his coffee cup. "You're the best goddamn trackers in the world, and it's taking you 3 years to find one girl!"

He sighed in frustration before ringing a bell. A stiff and elderly man by the name of Wintergreen came into the room, immediately replacing Mr. Smith's broken coffee cup.

"Do you all remember why it is we're looking for this girl?" Mr. Smith growled out. "We're looking for this girl because before she ran away with all the damn cash in the damn safe, she took something else too. Something that, if found, could put us all in one big pile of shit. All our names, our locations, and records on us, that if the police saw them, would blow their goddamn minds away! So why do you think it's appropriate to sit around on your lazy asses all day while every second that goes by brings us closer to a life sentence in some hell hole jail!"

He paused to pick a piece of lint off his jacket shoulder before continuing, much calmer. "Luckily for all you lazy shitheads, Mr. Payne here has brought me good news." The man named Mr. Payne smiled smugly. Mr. Smith turned to him. "So what brings us all together today, Mr. Payne?"

"I've found the girl. Her current location is Gotham City."

"And so the plan is set in motion," Mr. Smith said, rising from his chair. "Luckily for you, you still have a chance to redeem yourselves." He walked over to the digital map and pressed the red dot marked on Gotham. The screen instantly zoomed in on the chosen point, showing a mansion located on the edge of the beach. "All you have to do is break in, find the files, and get out."

"And what if the girl resists?" a man named Sting said.

"If the girl resists, Mr. Sting, you have only one option, and it's a very simple one; kill her."
