Next Day:
Sophie and Lok wait in the lobby for Zhalia and Dante to appear to explain the mission to them. Sophie stares at Lok who has been placing large amounts of men's deodorant on like there is no tomorrow. Sophie's smile slowly starts to turn into a large evil grin when realizing the reason behind the large amounts of deodorant.
"So, Lok did you get that nice cool shower that you were waiting for yesterday?" Sophie wonders to him with a smile on her face with wet hair, air drying down her back, acting like she doesn't know.
Lok crosses his arms as he grumbles something very quietly with anger in his tone of voice. The elevator rings as Dante and Zhalia appear from the elevator, entering the lobby together side by side. Sophie glances there way as she notices Zhalia looking paler than usual.
"Are you okay Zhalia?" Lok asks her as she sits on the couch in the lobby with Dante by her side.
"Yeah," Zhalia answers. "I just didn't get that much sleep last night."
"Why is that?" Sophie wonders at Zhalia.
"Anyway," Dante stops the questioning very suddenly. "Lok, did you get your shower as you wanted?"
Lok stops in his tracks trying not to get frustrated. He takes a deep breath before looking up to them when everyone still smelled the sweat still on his body. Zhalia and Sophie both wave their hands under their noses to avoid the smell.
"No..." Lok answers him. "My shower was out of order!"
"Sorry Lok," Sophie tells him with a sorrowful expression on her face but starts to chuckle under her breath.
"You could have come over and borrowed my shower. Actually, I think that I mixed our rooms so you might have gotten the room I was supposed to get," Dante thought about that for a moment as Lok stares at him as his eyes start to pop out of their sockets.
"What?" Lok shouts and whines at Dante. "You mean that I could have gotten a shower last night! You mean that I was given the room that you were supposed to get! Come on!"
Zhalia smirks at poor Lok as Dante pulls up the holotome from his jacket. Sophie and Lok sit down in the two chairs that faced the couch in the lobby. Dante taps something into the screen when the card appears on the 3-D dimension computer.
"So, do we know more about our mission?" Zhalia wonders to Dante as he smirks at the screen.
"Our mission is to obtain this amulet hidden in the River Liffey," Dante informs the team with concern on his face as he looks over at Zhalia to see her feature slowing getting paler than yesterday.
"What?" Lok questions where the amulet is located. "The amulet is in the River itself?"
"That isn't uncommon," Sophie tells Lok. "If it is a water amulet or someone wanted to hide it."
"So this could be really fun in the end. I am going to wet. I am going to get my shower," Lok yells with excitement when he thinks about the water.
"Lok, you realize fish pee in the river," Sophie tries to remind him.
"I don't care," Lok replies to her, not even hearing what she is trying to explain to him. "I am going to get washed off."
"The real problem is finding where in the river it is," Zhalia reminds the team, sitting back on the couch itself.
"Zhalia is right," Dante agrees with getting back on the topic. "The river is 82 miles long."
"That is a lot of river to search through," Sophie states with concern now in her voice.
"They really are being very helpful for this mission?" Zhalia replies with sarcasm as her arms across her chest with exhaustion.
"The Organization doesn't even know where it is," Dante informs the group.
"So how do they know it is even there?" Sophie wonders at Dante.
"We were given a tip by someone in the Organization. They are one of our secret agents that were able to infiltrate them. They said that Klaus and his team are involved in the recovering of this amulet," Dante tells the team.
"Klaus is here." Zhalia whispers as Dante places his hand on her for a second, causing her to blush, before removing it.
"So," Sophie thinks to herself. "Can't we just find out where the Organization has looked and avoid looking through that part of the river?"
"It won't be that easy," Dante shakes his head as a map shows on the Holotome. "The Organization is covering their tracks."
"That is unusual," Sophie states. "They usually are really easy to track down."
"Maybe they found someone to lead them with an actual brain," Lok jokes with the group.
"Maybe..." Dante replies as they stare at the map before them. "That is just going to make our job a lot harder. So we are going to split into two teams. Zhalia and I am going to cover the Heart of Dublin. That means that Lok and Sophie! You are going to cover the outskirts of Dublin."
"Right!" They all agree with Dante.
"Alright team," Dante states to the group. "Our mission is simple. We need to find this amulet in the Liffey River before the Organization does."
"Let's do this!" Lok and Sophie reply to Dante with smirks on their faces.
"Let's go team!" Dante answers back to them as each team goes their separate ways.
As Dante and Zhalia head towards the heart of Dublin, the same two strangers stand on the rooftops, watching them. One of them curls their hands around the cane that holds them from falling. The other watches the two walkings, having no idea they are being watched.
"They are separated now," The one watching tells the other.
"Wonderful," The other smirks at their plan that is going as plan. "Now all we have to do is separate the teams they have placed together."
"That won't be that hard," The other answers the one with the cane. "I have been watching them for months now. I know their weaknesses. I know everything."
"Don't get to cocking," The other states back glancing at them with a serious expression in their face. "That is what happened to your sister, remember what happened to her."
"I will never forget the betrayal." The other grind their teeth together in frustration and anger, tightening their grip into two fists at their side. "Never."
"I know you won't."
