"Everything is under total control" boomed Mina's voice over the cell phone
with a full proof line that can not be hacked into.
"Good" I replied in a malicious voice, " very good." I smiled to myself. This is perfect. If we pull this off, the crime of the decade, then we will earn half of our year's prophet with this one simple mission. This one simple mission in which I will fully participate in. we have planned out this mission to the very last detail. From our arrival to our departure, to the very last second. We cannot afford to fail this. We simply can not and would not.
The mission itself is actually not that hard. All we have to do is to steal a computer chip from the pentagon in Washington D.C, the capital of United States. This small little chip will make us a fortune, and trust me, a fortune for us is a lot. It will make us about 15 billion. The reason this chip is so valuable to our buyers is of no concern to me, and frankly, I don't care too much either. My number one priority is to get the chip. The chip, as our buyers chose to reveal to us, contains valuable information on a very top secret government nuclear weapon that can cause the destruction of this whole world with a simple button in two seconds. How are they going to build it? Don't know and don't care. All I am concerned about is getting the information on how to build it. No, the mission would not be hard at all, but what scares me is the competition.
Naturally, when there is a crime this large and expensive, every crime organization would want to take part of it. It's just how life works. Everybody wants a piece of something big. But I am too greedy to share. I want it for the La Mortes alone. There are at least 8 Mafia gangs involved in this mission. All want the same thing, the chip. Apparently, our bastard buyers are also the buyers of this same chip from the top 8 crime organizations in the world. Sometimes I really think that they are just sitting back and laughing at us while we work our ass off in competition for this little pathetic chip. But when it comes to the chip, they are dead serious. Well, frankly, so am I.
Although so many crime organizations are involved in this, not to mention all rated tops in the world, I am not worried about them. My main concern is the La Femmes, the La Mortes' number one rival. This will be an all out war in the crime circle. It's us versus them. The La Mortes against the La Femmes, or shall I say him, the La Femme leader, versus me, the La Morte leader. You guessed it folks, the mysterious La Femme leader himself is a full participant of this mission, just like me. At the mention of this, everybody else backed down. No other gang dared to take this mission, or there will be hell to pay afterwards with the world's top two Mafia gangs on your ass. Yes, the La Femmes is my main concern, everyone else would not even dare to arrive.
"You still there Serena?" came Mina's voice through my head. I immediately snapped out of my trance.
"Oh, sorry Mina. Just rethinking and double-checking our plan. We simply cannot fail this. Our pride and success all depend upon this mission." I voiced out the very depth of my thought. I was not used to telling people about my feelings, but Mina, being one of my best friends, was an acceptation.
"I know" she sighed over the cell phone line " We will not fail it!" I could hear determination in her voice.
"Good" I said again, going back to my emotionless tone, "I do not cope well with failure. You go back to the base and start preparing. Tell Rei to get everything ready in headquarters and go to your base in Washington. I should be arriving in about 42 hours. We will continue from there." My orders were cold and demanding, but I know that Mina will follow them without a single mistake our doubt. She was very loyal. She will always be. I had no doubt about that.
"I will see to this being done. Don't worry Serena, I won't let you down" she said this with a more friendly tone rather than a business tone. I was glad.
"I trust you Mina, you know I do" I said this with a hint of warmth in my voice as I hung up my cell. I smiled to myself. I knew how much this meant to her. I very rarely, practically never, said that to anyone else but her and Rei. I might have said that to my father and my aunt, but they are both dead now.
'Well,' I thought to myself, ' tomorrow is the day when the pity begins." I did not like being pitted. In fact, I hated it. But what can I do? Duty calls on me 24/7. Making up pitiful excuses for my absence was just part of my job. I sighed as I got out of my conformable leather sofa in the office of my pretend house as Usagi Tsukino and left to wash up before I went to bed. I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be a very long and tiresome school day and I better get all the rest that I can.

"Everything is in perfect order boss. The chip will be ours!" reported Rubeus proudly. He was sure that this was going to please Diamond for once, but he was very wrong.
"And how are the La Mortes' preparations?" asked Diamond eagerly. This question has hit Rubeus as a total shock. He had no idea how the La Mortes were doing.
"I-I don't kn-know boss" said I frightened Rubeus in a weak voice, " but th- they simply can-not be doing be-tter than u-us." Rubeus was deeply ashamed of his answer.
"And what if they are?" asked Diamond in a cold and demanding voice. He was getting very annoyed by Rubeus' constant failure. He was really considering promoting Emerald.
"I don't kn-now bo-oss" replied Rubeus, now simply trying not to sweat from fright.
"Well then, you fucking disgrace, go out there and find the hell out!" yelled Diamond with anger.
"Yes boss" mustered Rubeus before he quickly left the room.
"Control your anger Diamond, don't let it get the better of you" said Sapphire with a concerned voice. He was sitting on the leather sofa at the far side of the wall while observing the scene that had just transpired.
"You're right" sighed Diamond as he calmed down.
"You know brother, it really wasn't Rubeus' fault that he didn't know what was going on with the La Mortes. I mean, who can blame him? They are keeping so dam low!" said Sapphire with an edge to his voice. He was really worried about the competition with the La Mortes. Right now, to the public knowledge, Vice President Sapphire Dusevic is supposed to be sleeping in the luxurious bedroom of his mansion. But in reality, he was at the La Femme's base in Washington city right now with the owner of Nicholas Corporation and discussing plans on how to commit the crime of the decade that could damage the whole United States security system, and not to mention the world.
"I suppose that it isn't Rubeus fault" replied Diamond with annoyance, " why are you so worried?"
"How can you not be worried when the La Morte leader herself is involved in this mission!" cried out Sapphire with impatience.
"Ah, yes, the mysterious La Morte leader that none of us have seen" Diamond said with amusement. "I am greatly looking forward to our first encounter in the pentagon." He grinned.
"And how do you know that you two will meet? She might be instructing her troops form outside you know, or she could take another direction than you, after all, there are a lot of different ways to enter the pentagon" explained Sapphire.
"But there is only one way to enter the security room in which the chip is kept" replied Diamond with a grin " we will meet there."
"In the security room?" asked Sapphire with bewilderment, "What are you, crazy? You'll get detected there if you stay any longer than 60 seconds! It is heat sensitive you know, and we can only keep your body temperature down for so long."
"That doesn't matter" stated Diamond, " the whole mission doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is me meeting her."
"Well, you may be a fool and think this way, but she certainly will not. She will probably grab the chip and run while you stand there like a moron, waiting for to greet you, or even to notice you" muttered Sapphire with annoyance.
"Oh, she'll notice me all right. I am her number one rival. She will not turn away from her rival" stated Diamond with certainty.
"And why not?" asked Sapphire eagerly.
"Because she wants me dead as I want her. Once she sees me unarmed and unprotected, she will cease this opportunity to kill me instead of running away with that single pathetic chip" explained Diamond.
"Why would she drop a huge fortune just to kill you?" asked Sapphire, slowly catching on.
"Because an opportunity like this only comes once in a lifetime. It is in the very human nature to kill those who pose a great threat to them. Killing her number one rival will ensure her and her gang's security as the world's top crime organization. She will simply die for an opportunity like this" said Diamond with a smile.
"How do you know she will react this way?" asked Sapphire, still puzzled.
"Because I want the very same thing, her dead. This is also a very rare opportunity for me and I intend to use it" replied Diamond with a cold tone.
"Be careful brother," warned Sapphire with concern, " I heard that she is very well trained."
"As have I" replied Diamond with a malicious voice, " and it's about time that we compared each other's wits." Diamond smiled wickedly.
'At last we will meet, La Morte' thought Diamond amusingly, 'and when we do, I will finally be able to eliminate you.' Confidence was radiating from him like light from a sun.

Seiya felt very uneasy as he stared out the huge window of his office alone at the light display before him. It was very late and he was working overtime again. But lately, he is been getting this very bad feeling that he simply can not shake off. He had this feeling that something very bad is going to happen soon, but he did not know what. He did not think that it involved the La Femme clan alone because of their weird activity lately, but involved much more, although the La Femmes were probably the first one to hear about this crime since they stopped all their criminal activity about two weeks ago. But Seiya suspects that they have been planing for this crime for months now and just stopped all their activity lately to finally fulfill this crime. In fact, almost every crime organization had stopped their criminal activity and become withdrawn. It was as if they were waiting for something big to happen.
Lately, he has been hearing some rumors about how a big crime is going to take place here, in the city of Washington. At first, Seiya did not believe any of it because what group would be as stupid enough to commit a big crime in Washington, where all the major federal security headquarters are. But when he heard that the crime involves the La Mortes and the La Femmes after the same thing in a big competition, he thought very differently of the rumors. He began to listen in and get as much information as he could off the streets. In fact, right now, he has several of his top agents, including Taiki, going around the streets and pretending to be hoodlums just in an attempt to gather more information. He could not wait to hear their results.
No one knew for sure on where the major crime is going to take place, but Seiya did catch word on how the world's 8 top crime organizations were all suppose to be involved on it, but at the mention of the La Mortes and the La Femmes being involved in it too, simply scared every other group away. Now there are only the La Mortes and the La Femmes involved in this crime of the decade. They were in direct competition, both after something that no one, including Seiya, had any idea of. This tension was driving him crazy. He was desperate for answers. He was desperate to know why every crook in the country was so excited about this crime. He was desperate to know why this crime was so important that it intimidated the mysterious leaders of both the La Morte gang and the La Femme gang to participate. He was desperate to know who these two leaders were and catch them in the act. He wanted to be the person that caught the two most wanted criminals not only in the United States, but also in the whole world, committing the crime of the decade. Not only will this bring his status and salary up by a lot, but it will also earn him a permanent spot in history as one of the best FBI agents in United States and law enforcer in the world! He will not let an opportunity like this slip through his fingers. He kept a very close eye on the city and jumped at the smallest criminal activity. He was going to bust the La Morte and the La Femme leader. This he promised himself.
