"I need to leave," I stood up.

"What's the matter?" Aurora looked at me.

"I can't do this," I looked at her, "I can't afford to fall in love with you."

"It can be a secret" she cupped my face with her hands.

"Nothing is a secret from the assassins! Don't you get that?" I removed her hands.

"Grayson," she sighed, "What are you so afraid of? Love can't be this difficult in the organization."

"I was given a mission to mentor you," I lied partially, "Falling in love with you, there's consequences to those actions. I'm not here for love. I'm here to mentor."

"Can't we handle those consequences?" She pleaded.

"No," I turned my back to her, "We can't."

It was finally the day of the Halloween party. I looked at my outfit in the mirror. I'm not sure if I was confident enough to go out like this. My ass was completely outside. The straps all over my body showed a lot of skin. Would the girls even approve? We all decided to get ready at our own places, and surprise each other at Jamie's. I wondered if it was a good idea for me to surprise them with this outfit. What if they don't like it? I sighed.

"Honey?" My mom entered, "Whoa. Are you sure you want to wear that? It's a bit revealing."

"Ugh they'll hate it," I said sadly.

"Oh I'm sure the girls will love it," she laughed, "I'm just not sure if you'll leave the house wearing it to the party."

I grimaced, "This isn't funny!"

"It most certainly is!" She laughed harder.

I looked in the mirror. I decided on a girl scout outfit. Cute and sexy at the same time. The skirt was pretty short and it showed off my lacy thong u underneath it.

"Gina?" Gio knocked on the door.

"Come in," I changed positions.

"Whoa," he looked at me, "Isn't that a little short?"

"You think so?" I looked in the mirror once more.

"It definitely is," he scolded.

"Then it's perfect," I winked at him and he rolled his eyes.

"Someone's here to see you," he stepped aside.

"Gianna!" I threw myself onto her.

"It's so nice to see you too," she smiled, "I've missed you too. Don't you look gorgeous as always!"

I twirled around and laughed, "I've missed you so much! How long will you be here?"

"I'll be here for the week," she smiled.

"Great," I clapped my hands, "We will definitely be spending some time together."

"Will there be alcohol?" Gio asked.

"It's a party Gio," I rolled my eyes, "Of course it does."

"I trust you'll be responsible?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Of course," I looked at him, "What's will all the protectiveness? You know I don't drink."

"I just want to be sure that you'll be safe," he said softly.

"I will," I hugged them both.

I really felt alone. I know the girls were coming over, but this just felt like a moment I could have shared with my mom. Her not being here to share these times with me hurt more than I could have ever imagined. The girls take good care of me all the time, but damn I wish she was here. The doorbell rang and there they stood.

Alex in an all black strappy bodysuit, with thigh high boots and a bunny mask. She looked so fucking sexy.

Gina was in a short green skirt, with a white jersey and a green sash across her chest with girl scout badges. On her head, she had a green hat. She looked so adorable and fucking hot at the same time!

I launched myself at them, squeezing them tightly. Tears welled up in my eyes.

"We're going to have so much fun tonight guys!" I squealed.

"You bet we are," Gina agreed. Her eyes roamed my body appreciatively and I blushed. I was wearing a sexy maid costume with black high heels and long lace stockings. The costume was extremely short, showing my red underwear whenever I bent over.

"Everyone looks amazing," Gina breathed.

"Let's go!" Alex shrieked and pulled us towards Gina's car. We had no idea what was in store for us tonight.

Sid's POV

Everything is going according to plan. The girls just need to show up, and the plan will begin to unfold.

"Is everything ready?" The boss asked, sitting next to me.

"Everything is perfect," I assured him.

"This plan better work," he said.

"It will."

Giovanni's POV

"I have a bad feeling about tonight," I sat in the car with Grayson. We were chaperoning the Halloween party for the organization.

"What do you mean?" Grayson asked, distracted.

"I mean everything is strange," I looked at him, "Their friend being a target is weird. Suddenly we're asked to chaperon this party. Is something bad going to happen?"

"I really can't say," he said.

"What's going on?" I touched his shoulder, "You seem out of it."

"It's nothing," he sighed, "I'm in love with Aurora."

"Oh no," I sighed, "That's bad."

"It is," he looked away, "I've got it under control. I just need to tuck my emotions away and I'll be fine."

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Yeah," he looked at the party.

Alex's POV

"This amazing!" I shouted to Gina and Jamie over the loud music. They both nodded their heads and we started dancing. I closed my eyes and let the music take over my body. I felt someone's arms wrap around my waist and I opened my eyes.

"You look stunning," Gina smiled.

"Thank you," I kissed her, "Where's Jamie?"

"She went to get some drinks," she answered. We both started dancing and I turned my back towards Gina, grinding my hips against her. I wrapped my hands around her neck and she pulled me closer to her. I closed my eyes, enjoying the sensation of my body against hers. I felt someone come in front of me and began dancing on me.

"Is there room for me?" Jamie asked.

"Always," we said simultaneously. We danced and danced. Enjoying ourselves. Totally unaware of what was happening around us. I didn't have a care in the world on this exact moment. I love how they made me feel.

Giovanni and I had been watching the party's entrance to see if anything strange would happen.

"Who is that?" I pointed to a man dressed in a suit. It was odd. Most of the people had shown up in costumes. It didn't look like an expensive party.

"I think we should find out," Gio got out of the car and placed his mask on. I followed behind him and we stood right behind the gentleman. We entered the party, and the place smelled like liquor and sex. It was completely crowded, and I lost sight of the gentleman.

"Did you see him?" I asked Gio.

"No," he said, "It's like he vanished in the crowd." We looked everywhere and couldn't find him.

"We need fo find him," I said urgently. I had a bad feeling about this.

"I need to go to the bathroom," Gina said to us.

"We should go with you," Alex started to move.

"It's fine," she told us, "I won't be long. Have fun."

"Come on," I pulled Alex, "Let's dance."

I pulled her through the crowd and we started dancing together. I closed my eyes and let the music consume me. I was having such a good time, and this is exactly what I needed. A night of fun. I moved my body to the rhythm of the music, melting my pain and sorrow.

"Jamie," Gina snapped me out of thoughts. She looked pissed.

"What's wrong?" I looked at her.

"Where the fuck is Alex?" She hissed.

Oh fuck.
