Chapter 4
The Plan
Running down a few flight of stairs, since they had messed up their orders, one of the older masked girls, the one with short brown hair exclaimed at the other two, "Who's going to tell the the cranky boss about our mistake?"
"Not me, I'm not saying nothing! You tell him about it!" reply the other older girl with black hair in a Chinese bun.
"Me? I told him last time you twit! No way am I telling him a second time!" Arriving at the door that leads to the bosses secret lair, Anzu said after their youngest member came to a stop at the door, making him and Vivian run into her, "Ah here's an idea; Rebecca you tell him!"
Glancing at the door for a moment, Rebecca turned back to her fellow members with a shrug. "Tell him what?"
Gulping, Vivian answered, "That we made a mistake with the job."
Gulping back, Rebecca reply, shaking her head, "He won't be happy about that." And so, clutching her teddy bear close, Rebecca cautiously opened the door to see Ushio sitting in his chair with a scary, furious look on his face. A little nervous as she slowly approach him, Rebecca wave with a little cheesy grin. "Hey there boss."
Getting out of his seat, Ushio said as he went to shut the door, "It doesn't look good when only one shows up, is it girly?"
With the door shut, Ushio walked around the nervous child, examining her nervous form. On the other side of the door, Anzu and Vivian strain their ears against the hard wooden door to listen to what is going on in the room, only to hear Ushio's footsteps Stopping for a moment, Ushio could hear Anzu and Vivian's heavy breathing. Becoming annoyed, Ushio demanded, "You two get in here!"
Not wanting to anger their boss further, the two nervous girls entered and with the door shut behind them, they both pointed to Rebecca, "She has something to tell you boss."
"It had better be good news."
With Anzu and Vivian stepping away and behind her, Rebecca continued with a smile, "Well, we did exactly what you wanted to do and dropped a safe on the prince!"
At first he was grinning evilly until the second half of her sentence. "No you twit, I said to keep him safe, not drop a safe on him!"
"Well good thing because we missed him." said Vivian.
Glaring at Rebecca, Anzu added, "Not to mention that someone's eyes wandered off to a her fantasy world again." Ushio and the older girls have known of Rebecca's secret; she has a crush on Prince Yugi even though she's only a child and he is eighteen.
Sighing, Ushio said in a very strict tone, "Listen you idiots, my plan is not to kill the prince, it's to kidnap him!" Giving him confused looks, Ushio points to an opera poster on the wall. "The opera is tomorrow night. So the prince needs to be gone by then, otherwise I won't become king!"
At first the three made a sound of understanding until their faces went completely blank. With Anzu and Vivian glancing at each other with confusion, Rebecca said with a shrug, "I don't get your plan."
Face-palmed, Ushio yells out, "Lieutenant Malik!"
In seconds, the light blond, semi-spiky-haired lieutenant appeared, saluting to the captain. "We we, sir. You called?"
Pointing at the three morons, Ushio demanded, "Put these three into the Pit!"
Excited, Malik went for the switch with Anzu, Vivian and Rebecca begging them not to throw them into the pit. "Bon Voyage, girls." With the lever pulled down, three feel the floor move from under their feet and they slide down until they landed on each other in the Pit.
With the three down in the Pit, a phone starts to ring. Picking up the receiver, Malik answers, "Hello, Malik speaking." After hearing the caller mention why he's calling, Malik froze. "The prince!"
To hear his lieutenant mention the prince, Ushio became alarmed as well. "What is it, Lieutenant Malik?"
Holding his hand over the talking part of the receiver, Malik answered, "The prince wishes to speak with you about something, sir, at the Musketeer HQ."
Letting out an annoyed growl, Ushio straightened up and said as he calmly left his lair, "I better go see what the royal brat wants."
