Inside the Honeycomb hideout:

- Kay, guys, this is it. We're going to make the hit tonight. As we all know Israel is currently settled in hotel "Dream". The cargo from the ship he arrived with is in a safe in the underground level of the hotel, while he is in the penthouse. We still don't know what they are carrying, but since it involves vampires, it can't be good. The security has been told that there are very important files in the safe and to keep and eye for intruders in the area. Israel's guards are also with him. 20 have been confirmed, don't know if there are others. We need to make this quick and clean. We go there, steal whatever they've brought and kill everyone that get's in our way, while in the meantime someone has to distract Israel 'cause if he suspects something, he's gonna trigger the alarm and when more vampires arrive all is going to hell.

Abby looked everyone in the room in the eyes, while explaining to them what their plan was. They where in the weaponry and it was dark outside. The hit they were about to do was risky because they were outnumbered. There were only 5 of them against 20 or more. They took the risk anyway. There was no other to do the job. Seeing everyone nodded in understandment she continued:

- Alright, so, Jack is gonna park a block from the hotel and hack the cameras, so we can see everything that is happening in the hotel. I'm gonna go with him and wait for King's call that we're all clear to move in. I'm gonna go ahead and deactivate the alarm then King and I are gonna sneak in and steal the content of the safe. But remember: everything has to be done without Israel knowing, or we're dead meat.

Everyone nodded again in agreement and began to arm themselves when suddenly Jack (the new driver) asked:

- Who's gonna distract Israel?

The room fell in complete silence when all eyes turned to the only person not given a particular part in the mission.

- NO! NOT A FUCKING CHANCE IN HELL! – Hannibal King shouted throwing the gun he was holding across the table. His face was red from rage by the almost disgusting idea.

- King, calm down. – Abby said in a controlled voice.

- Don't you tell me to calm down, Whistler. How can you even think it?!? That's ….. UGH!

Zoe tried to protest King's sudden outburst about her not being able to distract that Israel guy but Abby beat her to it.

- So what do you expect us to do? Huh? If you prefer to be in a bra and bikini, high heels and a tone of makeup on your face, go in there and try to seduce Israel, get him drugged and to ACTUALLY think that it will work then it's fine with me. I have no objections.

Abby was literally shooting daggers with her look and King was literally trying not to throw up. Jack and Wade (the new weaponry specialist) were laughing their asses off while Zoe was behind Abby, a stern look on her face that showed that she completely supports the only other female in the group. They could almost see the light bulb that clicked above King's head.

- And why can't you do it? – he said, crossing his arms, making his muscles even more visible. Zoe couldn't take her eyes off them and felt her lips parting a bit. Her daydreaming was broken by Abby's immediate response. Like she knew that he would ask her that question.

- Because she can't deactivate the alarm. And neither do you. – she continued with a more calm voice. – I'm worried about Zoe too, King, but…

- It doesn't look like it. – he spat.

Abby was taken aback but managed to control her anger and said what she had to say:

- But I believe in her. – and after a short moment she added – Unlike you.

If looks could kill Abby will be nothing but ash. King knew she was right and she hated her for it. She was always right, damn it. He just couldn't imagine letting Zoe be that fucker's whore even for a few minutes, who knows what he can do to her. It's not that he doesn't believe in her it's just … he loves her too much to risk her being hurt. The killer part is that he has to be positioned on the 43 floor in the opposite building, watching through binoculars the strip show that Zoe's going to be making for that motherfucker while waiting for her to give him a sign that they're ready to move. FUCK. This was so messed up. The room was quiet and everyone was waiting to see if there's gonna be change in plans. King, looking sternly in Abby's eyes, moved his gaze to look at Zoe. She looked so determined that he almost lost it. He grabbed his hostler and a couple of silver stakes and left the weaponry.
Zoe let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Abby turned to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

- It's okay, Zoe. He'll get over it. – she said in a motherly voice.

The moment she said that they both jumped by the sound of something breaking, followed by a loud "FUCK FUCK FUCK" and more breaking.

- I can't stand when he's mad at me. And I feel like everytime it is my fault. – Zoe said, trying to hide the tears that were threatening to come out.

- No, no, honey, that's not right at all. – Abby put a finger under her chin to make her look at her eyes. - Look, I know this is going to be hard for you, and believe me I don't like this better than King does, but I believe in you. That's why you must believe in yourself. Be strong girl. – she said playfully. - With that Cinderella face and sexy body you'll get the fucker drugged in no time.

Zoe managed to smile. She really loved Abby. She was like a mother and a best friend. Abby was always there, when Zoe needed support. And always knew how to shut King up. If it wasn't for both of them she would be dead and gone. Zoe took her mother's death hard. Good thing it was King to cheer her up, even a little. Eight years have past since that event and some things have changed. When she was little she used to spend more time with King: she played hide and seek with him, combed his hair, him teaching her how to fight and defend herself. But after time she entered puberty. The hormones triggered and she just couldn't take her eyes of his handsome face and that body that just screams "fuck me". She just couldn't look at him the same way she used to. Zoe became distant and more shy of him. King didn't understand the reason behind that behavior of hers but decided not to press the matter. Abby saw the change too and one night she went to Zoe's room to have some girls talk. Zoe told her everything and to her surprise Abby just smiled and kissed her temple. Zoe expected her to say that this wasn't right, it's not the way it's supposed to be, that she must try to forget those feelings, but none of that came and she felt relief.

- Zoe. – Wade's voice brought her back to the present.

She turned around and saw that they were the only two left in the weaponry.

- Where's everyone?

- Well, Jack is in the van preparing some things, Abby's up in your room and said that you should get there so she can prepare you, and King's probably somewhere breaking something.

Zoe felt a familiar feeling in her stomach when he mentioned King's name.

- Okay, I'm gonna go to my room now.

She heard him saying "kay" as she made her way to her room.
