A harsh voice yelled in a crowded bank, "EVERYONE ON THE FUCKING FLOOR NOW!" The voice was followed by the sound of 4 gunshots up in the ceiling as the over 40 people in the relatively non-upscale bank hurriedly fell to the floor, fearing for their lives.

3 men in masks entered the bank carrying assault rifles. The leader of the gang, who appeared to be at least 6'2" and had a red mask with devilish facial features such as bloodied teeth on it, also carried a bag with him, presumably to cart away any money the 3 would take from the bank. He said to the other 2, "Guard the customers and execute the guards."

Immediately, one of 3 guards in the bank tried to get up and run for the exit. As she got to his feet and began to bolt to it, one of the robbers coldly aimed his gun at her and fired a single bullet in her direction. As the sound of the gunshot echoed through the bank, the guard fell to the floor, dead from a bullet to her throat. The other gunman then walked over to the second guard, who was shaking in fear, and grabbed him by the back of his shirt to pull him up off the floor.

He immediately then dropped his rifle and grabbed a knife from his back pocket as the other gunman that had shot the fleeing guard began to do the same to the 3rd guard. Robber 2 then nodded to Robber 3 before they both counted down, "3, 2, 1."

They both then began to saw away at each guard's neck, not stopping as blood poured onto their clothes and onto the floor below. Finally, after about half a minute, they were done, and they dropped both their heads and their bodies to the floor, causing several customers to begin crying in fear until Robber 3 yelled, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

Meanwhile, the head robber had already taken over 50,000 Lien with the help of a bank teller he took hostage. As he walked out with both the money and the teller, he said to the other 2 robbers, "Good job. Now, let's get out of here." He then fired 3 shots into the teller, killing her instantly. As she fell to the floor, the head robber ran out of the bank alongside the other 2 robbers.

Several hours later, Simon met once again with several of his accomplices as they discussed the robbery. "Good work today," he began to the gang of 5 that showed up. "We netted 52,234 Lien and 27 cents. We also killed 4 and struck fear into the hearts of humanity once more."

"That's good and all," said a voice at the table. "But I fear these attacks are too high-profile and could get us caught if we do too many at one time."

"True, true." He then lit a cigarette before puffing smoke into the air. "However, once we get control of the White Fang, we'll have all the manpower we need, and the humans will be unable to keep track of who is doing this as a result. No longer will we have to rely on just 10 or 15 people to repeatedly do these attacks when we will have hundreds if not thousands that are ready to die for us."

"Say," said yet another voice at the table. "When do we go into action?"

"On December 11," Simon confidently replied. "My student Adam will be of great help to me then."

Blake laughed after Adam had told her a story. "So that's how you met Simon, huh?"

"Yeah," he replied, smiling. "It's a bit embarrassing."

Blake then got up from her bed and said, "I'll be right back. I gotta go to the bathroom."

Adam nodded and said, "Alright." Then, as Blake left, his phone began to ring. He quickly grabbed it from his pocket and answered it, saying, "Hello?"

"Hi," said Simon. "I need you to do something with me tomorrow. Are you available?"

"Sure. What's up?" Adam did not think much of it at the time.

"I... I don't know how to tell you this." Simon faked being saddened and slightly angry. "But the leadership of the White Fang has sold out."

"What do you mean "sold out?"" Adam was now confused. "And why, if they actually did?"

"They are talking to the Schnee Dust Corporation, Adam. I don't know how to break this to you. They want to compromise on the SDC's use of cheap labour instead of fighting it." Simon silently prayed to himself that Adam bought his deception and that he would convince Blake of it too.

"No way," Adam said in shock. "Those little... What are you gonna do?"

"I'm gonna confront them," Simon told Adam sternly. "If they try to fight me, I'll use force, and I expect you and Blake to back me up."

"You have my back, Simon. I'll be at our HQ tomorrow waiting for you with Blake."

"Good," Simon replied. "I'll see you tomorrow." He then hung up and said to himself, "Perfect..."

As Blake walked back into her room, Adam told her, "Simon says that the leadership of the White Fang just sold out to the SDC."

Blake immediately went from smiling to frowning as she paused in shock. "No... Why..."

"I said the same thing," Adam told her. "Simon is going to confront our quote-unquote "leaders" at HQ tomorrow and wants us to back him up if things get violent."

"But things won't get violent," Blake said. "We aren't like that, right?"

"I know," Adam said. "But just in case, we may have to fight."

"Now I'm scared," Blake said to Adam as she walked over and hugged him for comfort. "What's gonna happen to us?"

Adam blushed and said, "Well... I know one thing. I won't let you get hurt, Blake. I swear on my life." He then guided Blake in for a long kiss, the first one the couple had ever had. Before this, they had only done quick pecks. It was not long before Adam began sticking his tongue into Blake's mouth, who complied and instinctively began doing the same.

Eventually, after what seemed like forever, the couple split. Blake said, "Adam... You..." She then placed her left hand on his right hand as she said, "I love you."

Adam smiled and replied back, "I love you, too." He then got up and said, "Now, let's prepare for tomorrow."
