12th June- Berlin, Germany
Letty's room at the crews safe house
Letty's POV
I sat on my bed having just arrived in berlin a few hours previous. Getting in the country was easier than I expected, then again I had Lotty so why wouldn't it be?
I sighed as I looked around the small room. It was plain and undecorated, left that way for me to do as I pleased Carlos had said. As far as I was concerned it was going to stay that way while I was here. I had no desire to dress it up and even if I did what was I going to put up, pictures of Leon, Charlotte and Ava? Doubtful.
Picking up my cell I stood and crossed to the window as I stared out to the darkened city. Berlin was everything I had expected it to be. It was busy and had tons of country side to look at. Looking down at the phone in my hand I dialed the number I had memorized. It answered on the second ring and I heard the hopeful tone of Leon's voice wash through the phone.
"Letty?"
"Yeah, I'm here." I spoke quietly.
"You okay?"
"Yeah everything is fine here. I haven't seen anyone else yet but by the sound of the music coming from down the hall I'd say others are here."
"Nice."
"As long as it doesn't continue all night." I said softly.
"Do you know any more about the job yet?"
"No, Carlos said the guy in charge would be calling a meeting tomorrow."
"Well I hope it's nothing too dangerous." I rolled my eyes at him.
"Le he's flown us all in from around the world. I think it's safe to assume it's going to be dangerous."
"Just remember your promise." He mumbled just loud enough for me to hear.
"Look I have to go, for all I know there could be cameras and mics through this place. Call you when I can." I said as he mumbled in agreement before I ended the call. I sighed taking one look out the window again before I started to search the room. I should have done it before the call but I hadn't given it much thought when I first arrived.
I spent an hour pulling the room apart but I found nothing so I deemed the room safe, or safe enough. Doing another sweep around the room I finally laid eyes on the lock on the door I had failed to see when I came in. I shook my head at my lack of observation and put it down to jet lag as I crossed the floor and clicked the lock in place. I turned catching my suitcase still sitting where I left it but I shook my head at it; that could wait till morning. Not even bothering to change my clothes, all I could be bothered to do was grab my gun and fall into bed.
13th June- Berlin, Germany
Warehouse
I was standing towards the back of the warehouse, slightly away from everyone else that was here. having given myself a pep talk this morning when I woke, I had decided that I wasn't going to draw any attention to myself while I was here.
"By your silence I would take a guess and say this is all new to you." A voice startled me out of my thoughts. I turned my head to look at the person who had spoken. He was young, probably close to my age. His features though were hard and defined. The way he spoke gave me the impression he was cocky and arrogant, like he knew everything. I ran my eyes down his body and had to admit I wasn't ashamed to say I liked what I saw. Turning my head away I kept my face blank. He would get an ego rush if he knew what I had thought.
"No." I said shortly but I didn't miss the look of surprise that flashed across his face.
"Interesting. You're not just a pretty face then." I snorted at his blatant attempt at flirting.
"Did you want something?" I demanded out right. He smirked and shrugged his shoulders.
"Names Demetri, Demetri Faber." He offered with a smirk and I scowled.
"That's nice." I muttered before I ignored him once more.
"You're a fiery one aren't you? I like that in a woman…" He purred as he sided up closer to me for a moment before chuckling as he walked away with one last glance back.
"Pig." I muttered under my breath as I turned away from his direction. I took a quick look around the place and noted there was only one other girl. She was young and quite pretty looking. She looked semi out of place and I wondered idly how she got wound up in this. She caught my eye and gave me a shy smile which I returned. She looked trustworthy.
"Since everyone is here we'll start." I looked up at the voice that spoke and found myself staring right at Demetri. Carlos' words from the day before washed over me.
"My second in command and the leader of your team will give everyone a run down tomorrow morning. I trust that won't be an issue."
"Fuck." I swore quietly as I realised I had probably just pissed off the wrong person. He sent me a knowing smirk before turning his attention back to everyone else in the room.
"Our job is simple. We have ten convoys to hit in as little time as we can manage. The boss is hoping to work this quickly and as silently as possible. The convoys are military, our goal is to acquire the weapons and hand them over to the Carlos at the end of each job. If anyone gets caught you're on your own and nothing will be said about the job, is that clear." The way he spoke made it a demand not a question.
"Guns? That's what we're running for?" I turned my gaze to a big buff guy that spoke.
"You are?"
"Christian." I noted his thick accent and recognized it as German. This guy was local.
"Not just guns. Ammunition, grenades… all things weaponry."
"When you say military… do you mean the Germans?" The other woman asked. Demetri smirked and turned to her. I noted he did a quick once over but nothing further before he nodded.
"Yes the German armed forces… what's your name?"
"Ana."
"Pretty…" He muttered before he turned away.
"So what are we using to pull off stunts like these? We need a really good plan." Another person asked and I noted Demetri sighed in annoyance.
"The boss has given us everything money can buy. So take your pick. Now names, I need everyone's name. Starting with yours." He spoke as he sauntered my way until he was right up close. He smirked as I tensed, not liking how close he was to me. I cursed mentally as his eyes showed me he had caught it.
"Lia." I sneered at him as his smirk widened.
"Lia what?"
"Lia Thomas." I had to grit my teeth in order to say it. This guy was walking on thin ice.
"Nice to meet you… maybe we could get to know each other better later?" He said as he brought his hand up to my face.
"I doubt it." I spat out as I knocked his hand out of the way. I briefly saw the flash of anger before it was gone again.
"We'll see." He whispered before he walked off to the next person. I let out a small breath. I was going to have watch myself around this guy.
