Chapter 1: Mission and Gathering

Univill, South Dakota

At Leena's Bed and Breakfast, the warehouse gang were in their usual spots around the table for their daily breakfast and meeting. Artie was running rather late today and all the others were talking and eating while they waited to hear about their next mission or work to do that day.

Myka and Helena were chatting about books that they have read and giving their opinions that they had about them as they did often. Claudia, Steve and Pete were in their own discussions. Pete bet Steve that he could eat more croissants than he could and Claudia joined in to say that Pete was going to win hands down. Steve knew that it was all in good fun and decided to take him up on that bet. So there went the morning of everyone then watching the eating fest that went on.

Helena was rather intrigued and disgusted by the display that was taking place and Myka was so used to it that it didn't bother her and Claudia just egged the two men on. Pete was on his 12th croissant and Steve was on his 10th when Artie finally came in and was utterly disturbed when he did.

"Ok, ok that's enough for you two; we have business to discuss and not stuffing your faces with food and Pete I do not want to hear you talk with your mouth full, is that clear," came Artie's stern voice after he gathered his wits back.

"Yeash" Pete said with his mouth full. Artie narrowed his eyes at Pete and gave him a very stern look. Pete swallowed hard and cleared his throat "Yes, sorry." He grabbed his glass he had on the table and drank a bit of the orange juice he had to help the food go down a bit easier than it was.

Everyone around the room was quiet as the exchange went on. Steve just swallowed what he was eating and stopped consuming croissants when Artie came in. Everyone else was just watching the exchange happen between Pete and Artie and then after Pete said he was sorry Artie continued with the meeting. He handed out folders to everyone including Helena, which she was still getting used to after all the times that he didn't when she was reinstated the first time.

"Alright now listen up. All of you will be going to Monaco on a mission -"

Claudia interrupted and said "YES! I get to go somewhere and not get left behind to do inventory for once and have Pete bring me a souvenir that he ate most of on the way back."

"Hey, I resent that!" Pete complained.

Myka jumped in and stated to Pete, "That does always happen, you can't blame her there," she chuckled. Helena and Steve found this rather amusing and all of the outbursts and tried to keep their laughs in.

Artie was becoming impatient and shouted, "ENOUGH!" Everyone became silent once again and waited for Artie to continue. "As I was saying you all will be going to Monaco on a mission. There is trouble brewing in Monte Carlo that can only be caused by an artifact. There are reports of people reporting their family and friends as missing. People are apparently disappearing but in reality they are not. People around the area have also stated to cops, friends and family that they saw the missing person or persons that were reported missing. It turns out they are hopping from casino to casino and never go home till they are out of money and even then they will do anything and everything to get more money to play some more at the casinos."

They finished up with their meeting and were handed plane tickets that were booked to leave in 3 hours so they all finished with their breakfast. Pete called it that he won the bet to Steve and Steve agreed knowing that he could not compete with Pete much longer anyway. They all packed and headed to the airport so they could catch their plane ride to Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Monte-Carlo, Monaco

Mickey Bricks was making calls in his penthouse suite. He was informing his old crew that Albert Stroller was very ill and was going to more than likely die in the next few months. He informed them that Albert would like to meet with them to discuss his will and have a last hurrah before his time came.

The last few days Mickey has been picking up people at the airport or having rides sent out for them. Mickey was on his way to pick up the last of the group today.

At the airport people were getting off the plane and picking up their luggage. Danny Blue and Stacie Monroe came off the plane and went to where the luggage was. Stacie and Danny got their bags and started to head out, but Stacie stopped and said she needed to use the bathroom. They were at the waiting area for people to catch their planes, and put their stuff down and Stacie went off to the restrooms and Danny stayed with the luggage.

Danny was looking about with no care as he waited for Stacie to come back. A group of people where headed his way that looked like they were business people that were dressed down or agents, but then he saw a girl with them that was dressed very casual and just decided that maybe they were just business people. Maybe the girl was going on vacation with these people that were there for vacation and business on the side. That was interesting enough, but when he got a better look at the people in the group as they were coming closer he could see that there were two guys and three women. One of the women looked like Stacie, but had something about her that was out of place. She seemed like she was, well like Stacie but not. Danny started to wonder if he drank too much on the plane because there was no way that could be Stacie because she went to the bathroom and she also didn't tell him that she was meeting a group of people here. They were to meet Mickey and head to the penthouse that he was staying in. They got closer and closer till they passed by. Danny just watched them pass by and looked after them like a man just in shock and stunned that the woman that looked like Stacie must not have been her because she just walked by him without a notice to him. The woman looked almost exact to Stacie so how could it not be her. Just then Stacie came back and tapped Danny on the shoulder.

"What has got your attention so much that you didn't see me coming back? Another bird that is long legged and well fit?" she chuckled as she studied him.

"No, no, no. That's not what it was at all, I promise." Danny denied. "It was just that...well...just that there was this bird..."

"Oh, so it was a bird that you were gawking at," she said with a smile.

Danny was getting frustrated a bit. "NO, NO, NO! wait a minute here, 'kay? I was not gawking at a bird I was looking at a bird that was...well...you... You see?"

Stacie looked at him funny and said, "Not really. There is only one me and I was in the bathroom so how could you be looking at me?"

"That's just it Stace, I don't know. There was a bird that look just like you and she was with a group of people that where all business-y and with a kid about 19 with them. They walked right passed me. I swear it was you that was in the group, but you had different clothes on."

"Danny are you sure you didn't have too much to drink on the plane?"

"I was thinking that too, but I do not feel drunk or anything."

"Well alright, we have to meet Mickey soon so we should get going."

"Yeah alright."

They went downstairs to the entrance to meet Mickey. He was waiting outside the limo with his arms crossed and leaning his back on the car. Stacie saw him and ran to him yelling, "Mickey!" Stacie dropped her bags in front of her when she reached him and hugged him.

Danny walked his way to Mickey and said, "Mickey."

"Danny," Mickey said in turn. They got their things in the car and then they made their way in the car and headed to the hotel.

In the limo Mickey, Danny and Stacie were all getting caught up. "So are we the last to come or are there others that still have not arrived yet?" asked Stacie.

"No you guys are the last to arrive, you being back in America and all. I do sometimes wonder why you guys went back there. Was it just because you had unfinished business to take care of or because of personal reasons? You never confirmed this before," Mickey said with a chuckle.

Danny let out a laugh and said, "Leave it to Mickey to try and figure out a mystery."

Stacie chuckled, replied to Danny's comment as well and answered Mickey's question, "I believe that is the case, as for what we were doing in America, well...let's just say both to that question," she said with a laugh.

"Oh is that so," Mickey replied back. Stacie smiled and nodded her head yes. "Well if you're not going to tell me I'll leave it as that," came Mickey.

Danny replied back with a smile, "All in good time, son. All in good time."

The warehouse 13 crew got off the plane and got their bags. Pete had watched the movie on the plane several time again. He was now tired while Myka had slept on the plane and did not have jet leg as bad. Myka mentioned to Pete that maybe if he didn't watch the movie all through the whole flight he might actually feel a bit better than he is now and have some energy. Claudia and Steve were laughing at the two bickering as Helena tried to take control before it turned into one of their long-winded bickers.

The team got their bags and headed out of the terminal. They were talking on and off as they went. They argued on what hotel they wanted to stay in.

Claudia asked, "Can we stay in one of those fancy ones?"

Myka shot her down, "We don't have the money for that Claud."

Claudia provided, "H.G. being the great H.G. Wells, she is loaded. We could possibly, maybe use her money...to stay at a penthouse suite..."

Myka looked at her and stated, "Oh no, we are not going to use her money to be in a penthouse suite. That is wrong to use her to get a better flat. No way that is going to happen, end of discussion." Claudia had a disappointed look after that but did not argue any further.

Helena interrupted the discussion and said, "'It is not a problem at all. Why not have fun while we can for a time. Live and experience new and exciting things."

Myka looked and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes quite, darling. Why not splurge a little on friends," Helena said with a smile. As they walked passed a man with blond hair in a blue polo shirt and nice pants. He was sitting in the waiting area to board a plane with quite a bit of luggage.

They made their was down to the first floor and out the terminal. They caught a cab and asked the cab driver if he could speak English and he nodded. They asked if he could tell them where they could find a nice fancy hotel. He told them about the famous Hotel de Paris and that it is very busy and they might be booked up by now. He mentioned another not too far away from the other called Hotel Hermitage that can be very busy but has more suites in it. The warehouse gang decided that they had better chances at the second choice of making a reservation so they told the driver that is were they would like to go. As they left, Claudia saw a limo pull up to the terminal and said to the group that the next time they do this we should get one and ride in class.

Once they pulled up to their destination, the cab driver said with a smile, "Welcome to Hotel Hermitage and hope you enjoy your stay here and hope to see you around. It was nice talking with you. I don't get many American customers I am afraid. It must be my bad luck, but not today, I manage to get you lot here."

Helena smiled and replied, "Oh, thank you. We had a splendid time in the cab. How much do we owe you?" The driver said how much and Helena paid for it and told him to keep the change.

They all got out of the car and got their luggage and walked up to the hotel. When they got into the lobby, Helena and Myka went to the front desk while Pete, Steve and Claudia waited. Claudia was looking around at the architecture and taking to Steve and Pete about it.

Helena and Myka talked to the person at the registration desk and asked if they could get a penthouse suite that might fit 5 people in it. The concierge lady told them that they only had three one bedroom suites and a two bedroom suite available at the moment the penthouse was taken. They decided to go with the two bedroom suite because they could split up in the two bedrooms. The concierge said that was fine and told them that they had a few Diamond suites open if they wanted any of those. Helena wanted to get one of the Diamond Suites they had. Myka beat her to it and said that they would be fine with the two bedroom suite. The concierge nodded her head and asked if they knew how long they were staying. Myka told the woman that they didn't so that they would pay day to day if that was ok. The concierge said it was and told them how much and asked how they will be paying and Helena gave the information. Myka and Helena walked back to the group and told them where they will be staying and they all head up to there room and the 4th floor.

When they go in their new living space, they took their time looking around. Being Claudia, she was gawking at everything. Steve too was much like Claudia but more reserved. Myka was gawking as well, but Myka was more used to looking at these places working for the president, but never living in it along with Pete. Pete was looking and liking what he was seeing and happy to actually get to enjoy the comforts for once and not just seeing. Myka and Pete have stayed in nice places before but not normally a suite.

They all got settled in and enjoyed the comforts of this living experience and eventually retired to bed to start a long day of work that will be starting tomorrow.

The last remaining stragglers of the hustle crew that worked with the long con pulled up in the limo at Hotel Hermitage. Mickey and Danny got out of the limo. Danny waited by the door and held out a hand to help Stacie out.

"Thanks, Danny. That was very sweet." Stacie thanked

"Sure no problem. I can be very sweet at times you know. It has been known to happen on occasion." Danny replied back with a smirk.

"It sure has. Danny the romantic, how could I forget?" she said with a laugh.

Danny closed the door to the car as Stacie walked out of the way. They got their luggage and headed into the hotel to the penthouse suite that Mickey was staying in. They walked up to the 4th floor to the room. Mickey was telling them as they made their way up to the penthouse that it was a three bedroom so they will have to redo the sleeping arrangements for everyone to get settled comfortably.

When they entered the penthouse they were greeted by all the others. Ash Morgan was the first to greet them. Emma Kennedy came by and greeted Stacie and Danny and dragged her brother along that was trying to bend a card so that he could cheat later in the card game Sean and Ash were playing to pass the time. Stacie and Danny put their luggage down. They all made conversation and caught up with one another. Stacie asked where Albert was and was told that they would meet him tomorrow. Everyone was drinking and having a good time. Sean had too much to drink and passed out long ago due to his lack of holding is liquor. He gets drunk fast unlike his sister Emma. Emma was declared by Albert that she could out drink Ash under the table. Ash, Mickey and Emma were playing Texas Hold 'em now and Stacie and Danny were hanging out together on the balcony. Mickey was starting to get suspicious with the way the two have been acting around each other lately. They were always chummy together and would tease each other but this was like a new level. He wondered if it was because they spent a lot of time together for about 5 years. Emma and Ash noticed that too.

"Do you think that those two are spending a lot of time together more than usual?" Emma asked Mickey.

Mickey replied, "Yes, well...it could be because they spent 5 years together alone from the rest of us..."

"Are you honestly telling me you believe that?"

"Why, are you thinking that there is another possibility?"

"Well of course. Has the Great Mickey Bricks not come to the conclusion that Danny and Stacie might actually be dating?"

Ash jumped in and made a comment, "No way, that is not something Stacie would do."

"Oh, and why not?" challenged Emma and a little curious.

"Well, because she wishes not to get involved with people she works with. It's more like a rule for her." Ash answered.

"Really now, that is quite interesting." Emma said more to herself than to the other two that were occupying this conversation.

"You seem interested but not convinced in the slightest that they might just be used to each others company, is that correct?" asked Mickey with interest in his eyes and a coy smile behind his folded hands in front of his face.

"Yes, exactly," Emma replied as she took a sip from her glass of champagne. "Mmmm, just had a thought of how to settle this. Why not make this more fun, hmmm? Let's make a bet on it. I bet you 50 quid Stacie and Danny are dating."

Mickey humored Emma and said, "Alright, that's fine with me. I bet they aren't."

Ash stayed out of it and just watched from the sidelines. This was going to be an interesting bet - Mickey Bricks that could plan for anything against a woman's intuition.

They all eventually retired to bed for the long day that they would have tomorrow. Everyone hoped Albert was ok and that he was safe.
