I pull up to the estate and park my car in one of the garages, next to all of the other cars. I get out and run to the front door while holding my heels and my purse in my hands.

I took my shoes off right after I got inside the car. I had to be quick and get to the house and I couldn't drive as fast as I usually drive with four-inch heels.

I open the front door and I hear talking from the kitchen making me walk further and further down the hall.

Once I get inside the kitchen I see my parents, Alexander, Alexander's parents, and my uncles Alex and Cole all standing around the kitchen island.

My father's fist is clenched, and he looks pissed off. My mother looked stressed out and worried just like everyone else in the kitchen.

God, what the fuck happened to them.

"What's wrong?" I ask, walking closer to them.

"Are you fucking crazy?!" my father says but my mother stops him.

"Not now, Ace. We need to talk about the issue at hand."

I walk fully inside the kitchen and stand next to Alexander. "What's going on?" I whisper.

"Shut the fuck up and listen and then maybe you will know," Alexander mumbles.

God, why is he in such a pissed off mood?

Asshole.

"Thalia, I will deal with you later but for now we have a problem. A big one."

"What happened?" I ask.

I feel anxiety throughout my entire body and my heart starts beating faster.

"We finally found the mole and after a long interrogation we found some information," my uncle Alex states.

"What did you find out?" I ask.

"Well, supposedly the mole was suppose to go back to Russia this weekend and he was going to deliver information to one of Vladmir’s men about what is going on here. Usually, the mole would pick up a phone and call them but they knew that we knew about Russians so he was going to escape," my mom says.

"But we have a plan. A solid one," Leo states.

"But, with this plan, you two have to work together and not argue because if you do then this will all go to shit," Cole says, looking between Alexander and me.

"Us?" I ask, looking at Alexander, but he looks just as confused as I am.

"Yes. You two are going to go to Russia."

"What?!" Alexander and I both say at the same time.

"The mole was going to go to Russia to meet up with one of the Russian soldiers who works at the estate with Vladimir and they were going to meet at this popular club that I now have the location of," my dad states holding up a piece of paper. "I want you two to go to that club and find out where the estate is located. After you find out the location, you will then fly back here, and we will continue to move forward with the plan."

"Plan?" I furrow my eyebrows.

"I will talk to you guys about that when you get back from the mission," my dad states. “One thing at a time.”

"What do you want us to do?" Alexander asks.

"Like I said, I want you to go to Russia and talk to that guy about where the location is. Thalia, you will be doing most of the work and getting the information."

"Then why does Alexander need to come with me?" I raise my eyebrows.
