Trix opened an old drawer where she kept all sorts of bombs she had made.

'Trix' - Eh... The last two - she picked up two spherical objects - I shouldn't have relied on them so much. Overnight I'll try to make a few new ones, what colors to choose for smoke... blue... pink... or maybe some new?

She put the bombs back in the cupboard and walked over to the desk where many small metal objects lay; wires, cables, connectors and elixirs.

She sat down in a slightly worn but comfortable chair and began to work.

"Tum, tum"

She heard the noise of people walking. She quickly recognized that they were two people walking down the corridor on the floor where her apartment was located.

'Trix' - Isn't it Fi and Feli? - Curious, she got up from the desk.

She walked over to the front door and swung it open.

'Trix' - You are here!

She saw her friends behind the door.

'Trix' - What took you so long? - She crossed her arms as she waited for an answer.

'Fi' - Em.... because.... - He had no idea for an excuse.

In their minds, the siblings remembered Viral's words of farewell [Not a word about us, our organization, and our intentions! Tell even one person and I'll make sure you don't recognize your own face!] The woman said it in a tone so terrible that siblings will remember her words for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, they wanted to hide from the Trix where they were and what they had learned.

'Feli' - We got hungry and went to eat something.

When she lied, she made a habit of never looking anyone in the eye; she was always looking at the floor, which is why Trix recognized very easily that it was just a hoax, but she continued anyway.

'Trix' - So you're saying you went out to eat and ate until - She looked back to see a device on the windowsill that served as a clock* - 11 pm? So long?

*This device, although it served as a clock, looked completely different. The device was shaped like a standing bottle. There were lines carved on the bottle to indicate the time of day. Inside the bottle there was a liquid that, depending on the hour, increased and decreased in volume, matching the designated lines and determining the time of day. The potion inside is called the time of day potion, it is one of the most common and cheapest potions.

'Feli' - Well, because... first we were looking for something good for a long time, and then... - She continued to look at the ground, lying.

'Fi' 'And then we just walked around town - He finished after his sister.

'Trix' - Oh.. right? - She didn't believe them one bit - If you don't want to say it, I won't insist, but we'll go to Makio's tomorrow, you don't even know how worried she was that you weren't coming back for so long.

'Feli' - Sure.

'Fi' - No problem - They answered without any reservations - By the way, did you know that mum died? - He changed the subject.

'Trix' - Mom? You mean Aunt Luna? - Fi and Feli nodded - Of course I knew, Garef told us all.

'Fi' - She said she left, not died - he corrected her.

'Trix' - And all this time you thought that she went on a journey? - The siblings nodded their heads - Pff, hahaha! ha ha! ha ha! - She laughed so much that she began to cringe from the pain in her stomach, and tears began to fall from her eyes - I can't! You are such idiots! Hahaha!

'Feli' - Hey, that's not funny! We cried over it recently! - She was outraged by her behavior.

'Trix' - No, it's fucking funny!!! ha ha! Ah... - She managed to suppress the urge to laugh - At least now I know why you didn't cry when Garef told us about her death, I thought you were either too young to understand or insensitive.

'Fi' - Yeah... that explains why you cried so much back then... - He agreed with Trix.

The one-eyed girl was breathing heavily after laughing so hard.

'Trix' - You thought she went on a trip, pfff hahahahahahahah!!! - But she couldn't help herself - Hahahahaha!!! Hahahaha idiots!!

'Feli' - Maybe we'll ignore her and go to the room - She asked slightly embarrassed and ashamed.

'Fi' - I thought the same thing.

Agreeing with each other, they left, leaving Trix bursting with laughter alone, and entered their apartment.

'Fi' - And it spoiled my mood even more than Viral.

'Feli' - No, Viral was worse, how could she tell us that we have to wait one day and think about it anyway!? After all, we're sure we want to join!

She referred to what happened after the two shouted their desire to participate in the operation. Viral, despite their involvement, rejected their consent and ordered that they have one day to think about the proposal. And because of this, the next day they will only think about what fun adventures they could have if they just started this amazing job right away.

'Fi' - No, Trix is worse though, and one day of waiting is... nothing at all. - He disagreed with his sister.

'Feli' - No, Viral worse.

'Fi' - No, Trix.

'Feli' - Viral.

'Fi' - Trix.

'Feli' - Viral.

'Fi' - Trix.

'Feli' - Viral.

'Fi' - Okay! Let's compromise! They're just as bad.

'Feli' - .... I can agree, they are just as bad - She shook his hand in agreement, and they shook hands vigorously.

After a short argument, the boy approached one of the cabinets in the room. The one Feli had knocked down the day before when they were playing with the water guns. After a huge bang caused by the collapse of the cupboard, Garef came to their apartment and yelled at them, she also took one of the objects lying on the ground in her hand. Exactly for the same object Fi just held out his hand. It was a frame with a picture showing their family. In the picture was little Feli, little Fi and their mother. A pretty woman with jet-black, not too long hair, black wings and two large horns growing from her skull. She had a slightly round face like her children, and just like her children she looked a little silly.

She had a slightly round face like her children, and just like her children she looked a little silly [https://img.wattpad.com/80d8c5ea8dfedd4896762acfa7137c16c31c8f96/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f567771386434363932516f3473673d3d2d313331303136343535372e313733653836383635643230333936633133363333383230393832392e706e67?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]

'Feli' - It's a pity that I broke the frame - she looked at the object held by her brother.

It shattered when the entire cabinet was knocked to the ground.

'Fi' - Nothing happened, the picture is whole - He pushed the broken glass away from the picture - It's a pity that this is the last picture we have with our mum.

'Feli' - Uhm - She agreed with her brother, slightly sad - But at least one left!

She wanted to look optimistic, so she smiled and put her arm around her brother.

*****

They both thought about the memories they had left of her. About the times they spent together.

'Luna' - Come on, go to sleep.

'Fi' - Eeeeeee, but I don't want to yet!

'Feli' - I don't wand to!

Their mother was a very pretty young woman. She always had a nice, warm smile on her face. She seemed to love her 5 and 4 year old children.

'Luna' - There's no "I don't want to" - she barred them with her finger - It's late so go to bed and if you do it within 5 seconds I'll read you something.

'Fi' - No! - He still disagreed.

'Feli' - Eh? But... - The younger sister clearly wanted to hear the story from the book, however, she did not want to argue with her brother.

'Luna' - Five - She began the countdown.

'Feli' - Filyy, maybe let's go... - she wanted to convince her brother.

'Fi' - No!

'Luna' - Four, three...

'Feli' - But I wand to... uhm, uhm... - Her voice took on a desperate note, slowly turning into a cry.

Tired after a long day, she couldn't control her emotions and started to cry.

'Feli' - Włah!!! Wha!! Wa...!

'Luna' - Oh no! Have I done something wrong again!? - She panicked for a moment, but recovered quickly and crouched down beside her daughter to comfort her. - Come on, come on. Do not Cry. We'll go to bed in a moment and I'll read you a book. She had a nice voice.

She hugged her, lifted her, and carried her to the couch. They were a poor family. Their apartment had only two rooms; a bathroom and a living room with a kitchenette. The three of them slept on the same couch, even now Fi and Feli share the same old couch.

Luna laid Feli on the sofa, propped her up against the pillow and covered her with the duvet.

'Luna' - You see, we're about to read something.

'Feli' - Eh, eh.... She wiped her eyes wet with tears and slowly fell silent.

Beside her, little Fi slipped under the covers. Not wanting his sister to cry any more, he gave in and decided to go to sleep too.

The woman, looking for books, saw Fi hugging her little sister out of the corner of her eye and smiled at the sweet sight.

'Luna' - So what are we reading today? "Dog Saves the World", "Little Sorceress", "Robo-Hero" - She stopped because the children started chanting,

'Fi, Feli' - Robo-hero, Robo-hero, Robo-hero!

'Luna' - Again? We read it yesterday and the day before.

'Fi' - Because it's the best!

'Feli' - The pest! - She repeated after her brother.

'Luna' - Okay, if that's what you want.

She climbed into the bed between Fi and Feli so that each of them could see the pictures in the comic. After making sure they could see everything, she started reading the dialogues in the speech bubbles while pointing to the characters who were saying the dialogues.

Soon after, the siblings fell asleep. Luna kissed both foreheads and left the couch to turn off the light.

'Luna' - And hop, and to work.

Putting on her shoes, she left the apartment and headed for the club where she worked.

*********************************

'Raily' - Viral, that black armor Fi was wearing, you know something about it, don't you? - She asked after Fi and Feli had left.

They stood in the corridor outside the exit, alone. Only Viral, Raily and Liroy.

'Viral' - Maybe I know, maybe I don't know. Let's leave that for another time.

'Raily' - I've heard rumors that maerens are able to cover their bodies with armor, but...

'Viral' - And, she goes on... - She said to herself.

'Raily' - Could he be one of them?

She stood in front of Viral and waited for a detailed answer. However, she shook her head, sighed, stared from the ceiling to the wall, unwilling to answer.

'Liroy' - Maerens? You're talking about the race that, along with the long-lived elves, took over most of the world? - He joined the conversation.

'Raily' - Ah, you don't know about them yet?

She turned to him and gave him a slightly disdainful look.

'Liroy' - I'm still learning about everything.

'Raily' - Yes, we're talking about them. Now, answer me Viral. She said in an almost commanding tone.

'Viral' - Don't even think you'll be ordering me around. You shouldn't worry about it, it's nothing that important." Without answering the question asked, Viral brushed Raily and Liroy off with a wave of her hand.

She passed between the disgruntled two and disappeared around a bend.

'Raily' - She could trust us more - She gave Liroy a wry look - Or at least me - She corrected herself.

*********************************

He felt something touching his mouth. Stronger and stronger. After a while, he felt a mysterious thing slowly enter his mouth, disturbing his deep sleep. His brain began to contact the world. He moved his hand, frozen after deep sleep. He opened his sleepy eyes and began to search indistinctly for what had awakened him. He saw something cream-colored near his mouth, though he wasn't sure of the color as the room was still dim. His pupils dilated, the image he saw before his eyes became clearer. He saw a tiny finger. Next to that finger was a second, third, fourth, and fifth. Each covered with hard fingernails. They were connected to a long hand.

Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

One sec. What long hand? What tiny fingers!? It's a foot!

'Fi' - Blah! Yuck! - Suddenly he sprang up from the lying position and began to wipe his mouth with his hand - How could you, Felyy.

The toes he had just had in his mouth belonged to his younger sister. She slept with her head on the other side of the couch, though she lay down in the same position as Fi. She was known for her deep sleep, which not even a bomb blast could awaken, so she didn't react at all to Fi's exclamations of disgust.

'Fi' - You'll regret it.

Still disgusted, he moved closer to her head, lifted his leg, and placed his heel against her mouth. He began to touch all the corners of her mouth, as if he was smearing some cream there with his heel.

After a while, like Fi, Feli began to wake up. Slowly, she opened her eyes, caught the focus of the image, noticed what was really touching her lips, and in disgust started to sit up.

'Feli' - Blah yuck! - She wiped her mouth with her hand - Why did you do that!?

'Fi' - Because you did it to me first! Even though you don't realize...

'Feli' - How could you... - She said angrily.

She slowly got up and sat on her lap. Walking on all fours on the couch, she approached her brother.

'Fi' - What do you want to do? - He asked when she was close enough to touch him.

'Feli' - This!

Suddenly she lunged at him and her fingers touched the side of his stomach.

'Fi' - Pff, hahaha. Stop it!

Feli began tickling him mercilessly. She poked her brother in the stomach, touched a tender spot on his neck, and continued poking at his tender spots again.

'Fi' - Stop it, wait a minute hahaha stop!!! Hahaha!

Suddenly, after undergoing this cruel torture, he managed to grab her hand and stop her killing finger.

'Fi' - My turn!

As soon as he grabbed her hand, he shot one of his own fingers and touched her belly

Feli - Hahaha! Oh no! Stop! Stop!

The roles were reversed and it was Fi who was torturing Feli with constant tickling. Finally, Feli rolled onto her side, avoiding the tickles, and lunged at Fi again, grabbing his shirt and knocking him off the couch to the floor. However, barely feeling the inheritance, Fi did not give up and used the situation with his sister lying on top of him to inflict even more torture on her.

One by one they touched each other's glistening spots, laughing every now and then.

"Thum, thum, thum"

Suddenly they stopped their fun, because they heard the heavy sounds of the monster's footsteps.

They immediately made up with each other, as if all that tickling action hadn't taken place, and as quickly as they could, they opened the only window that was in their apartment and jumped out. First Feli jumped out, stopping in the air, pushing off with her wings, then Fi jumped out, grabbing onto her hand.

And holding her brother, Feli flew to the balcony of the upper floor. They climbed on it and hid there from the monster.

They heard the door to their apartment suddenly open. And from outside there was a terrible roar.

'Garef' - Where are you brats!? What's on your mind to make a noise so early!?

She entered their apartment but did not find them. The bed was empty. The bathroom was empty. She looked out the window and didn't see them either. At the same time, Fi and Feli were holding back laughter on the upper-story balcony. They found the situation hilarious.

After a while, the monster gave up the search. With a sigh, he turned to the door. The siblings heard the sound of the gate closing.

They breathed a sigh of relief, laughing a little.

'Feli' - So we're coming back? - She asked a minute later.

Together they flew down to the open window. They entered through it and stood in a dark room.

Dark but not empty. There was something here that terrified the siblings. The monster they thought they had hidden from was still in their room.

'Garef' - So!? What do you have to say to me! - She said menacingly.

The siblings stood frozen, both afraid of the big monster, but it wasn't long before they could move again.

Bravely, Fi put one foot forward.

'Fi' - What do we have to say? - He smiled and put his hand to his forehead as if saluting - Adios!

Immediately, he turned and ran to the window. Behind him, Feli did the same, prepared from the beginning for what her brother intended. Both of them, not being caught by the monster lurking behind them, jumped out of the window and landed easily on the hard concrete.

Their escape from the apartment was successful.

*********************************

He was screwed. It doesn't matter that he is considered the hero who got rid of the biggest gang in the city. His superiors, who secretly made deals with the gang, thus earning a substantial amount of money, were not happy that such an opportunity to earn money was taken away from them.

Bernar, a red-scaled lizardman in his twenties and Coin's older brother, was standing in front of the commander sitting behind a large desk.

'Bernar' - I was already at the publishing house doing an interview. You can't fire me if the public thinks I'm a hero.

'Commander' - Tsk - He looked displeased, knowing that Bernar was right - Not only can't I fire you, but I also have to give you a higher position. You're pissing me off. I've warned you so many times not to poke your nose into things that aren't yours, but you're still yours, and you've succeeded. You've been pretty lucky. Now, will you finally tell me who else was there? According to eyewitness accounts, there were 5 other people there. A one-armed succubus girl, a boy with a horn who is supposed to be her brother, a cyclope-like girl, a lion girl with antlers, and a blue-scaled lizard. We have at least several dozen succubi in the city. One even matches the description except that Felicia Solis is an only child and has both hands. The rest are not on any list. We visited a club where a Cyclops-like girl supposedly worked, but she is not listed as an employee. No one admitted to knowing someone like that. We're unable to find them, so will you tell me who they are?

'Bernar' - [I'd like to know that myself] - He thought - I was there alone and I didn't meet anyone similar to the description, how many times do I have to explain it?

Commander - Until you tell the truth! You'll see, as soon as this case dies down and everyone forgets about you, I'll fire you right away. Really, who did you go after because it certainly wasn't your father!

'Bernar' - He's not my father and don't you dare call him that! - He got angry quickly.

"Knock Knock"

There was a knock on the door, interrupting the brawl that was beginning.

'Commander' - Come in.

A young and slightly lost-looking guard entered through the door.

'Guard' - There's a case for the sergeant- - He paused in the middle of a sentence - I mean, for the detective Bernar. The press came to take pictures of you.

He's had a lot of work since yesterday. And by upgrading from sergeant to detective, there will only be more work to do.

'Bernar' - A lot of it... - he said to himself - Boss, if you're going to fire me, right after the case is silent, I'll make sure it never be silent - With these words, without saying goodbye, he left the chief commissioner's office.

*********************************

'Fi' - I'm sooo tired - He said, yawning.

'Feli' - Me more.

'Fi' - No, me - they both began to argue in a sleepy voice.

'Feli' - No, me.

'Trix' - Did you stay up all night too? - They heard a voice coming from behind the opening door.

Trix entered the fast food, where Fi and Feli were already waiting for her. The restaurant was empty, only the three of them and two employees were sitting there.

'Makio' - And yet, I knew! You must have done something to yourself when you saved me. You all just pretended you were okay! - She felt guilty for their tiredness.

'Fi' - No Kebamakio, me and Feli got up early in the morning and made some noise, so Garef came to us and we had to run. And when we came home an hour later, she had been sleeping on our couch, so we couldn't come back, and we walked around the city all the time.

'Feli' - Yeah, that's what it was. Garef is terrible to chase us away while we're still in our pajamas. - Her cheeks tightened in displeasure.

'Trix' - So you guys are responsible for the noise this morning... I stayed up all night because I was making new bombs. And so I sat with it until the morning and did not sleep at all.

'Makio' - Ah, so that's it. So it's not my fault after all - She breathed a sigh of relief - But listen, you can't overwork yourself like that.

'Fi, Feli, Trix' - Yes - they answered in chorus.

'Kebamister' - Ready!

The older man, who had been preparing something in the kitchen, now placed three plates on the counter. Each plate had a paper-wrapped kebab on it.

'Makio' - I will carry it!

The girl walked over to the counter and picked up three plates at once. She easily carried them to the only customers in the place and placed the plates on the table.

'Makio' - It's at the expense of the company - She said with a smile, but it quickly disappeared from her face and took on a sadder expression - I'm sorry I can't give you more, you saved my life after all...

'Feli' - There's nothing better than a free kebab! - She said honestly.

'Fi' - Exactly! - He agreed with his sister and reached for the food she had brought.

'Makio' - Yes... - She said quietly, smiling slightly at these disinterested comments.

In the morning the place was empty. The only noise in the room was from Fi, Feli, Trix and the staff. They chatted a little while laughing. The tiredness on the faces seemed to evaporate and only warm smiles remained.

Then two new customers entered the room. They were both covered in red scales, one less, the other more. One of them, bigger and more muscular, seemed to be about 25 years old, while the other looked like he was about to hit his twenties.

'Trix' - Coin? And... your older brother? - She was surprised to see the two.

'Lizard' - My name is Bernar.

'Trix' - Indeed, we haven't introduced ourselves, I'm Trix, this is Fi, and this is Feli - He pointed at her kebab eating friends - So what are you doing here?

'Bernar' - I wanted to meet you.

'Trix' - ? - She tilted her head, not knowing why.

'Bernar' - I have a problem at work and I want you to help me with something.

'Trix' - Eh? - Surprise appeared on her face - Why should we help you at work?

'Bernar' - I'm covering for you right now so you don't have any problems with the guard and the press, but I can change that at any time.

'Trix' - Then I'll blurt out that you're telling your brother things you shouldn't and they'll fire you.

'Bernar' - They'll fire me even without it, so you have nothing on me.

'Trix' - ..... - She thought it over - So what do you want?

The man took a chair from another table and pulled it over to Trix, to sit on it.

'Bernar' - There are two main gangs in the city, one of which you have already destroyed. I would like you to help me destroy the other one.

'Trix' - What!? Sorry Bernar, but I'm not going to risk my life to help you. Before, we just wanted to save the life of Makio, our friend, and we have nothing to do with you.

'Bernar' - Risk your life? You didn't have any problems destroying them-

'Trix' - There were problems, only luckily we managed to get out of them - she interjected in his statement.

'Feli' - I agree! I want to go on such an adventure again!

'Fi' - Exactly! Trix what are you even talking about, it's going to be fun!

'Trix' - Hey - she was irritated by something.

She glared at her siblings, and as if trying to calm down, she took a deep breath. But apparently it didn't help, because she suddenly got up, bent down to Fi and Feli, and bashed them on the head.

'Fi, Feli' - Ouch!

'Trix' - Idiots! Do you want to work for free!? I wanted to bargain for money here and you ruin everything for me!

'Fi' - Ehhh!? I did not think about it! Scale, if you want us to help you, pay us first!

'Bernar' - [Scale?] - He was confused by the nickname - What if I say now that I don't need your help?

'Fi' - What? No! We want to help, you don't have to pay us, we will help! - When he heard about the cancellation of the fun, he immediately gave up the money.

'Bernar' - How did those idiots not die yesterday?

'Trix' - They got muscles instead of brains.

Fi and Feli sat excitedly in their chairs. Yesterday they had an incredible adventure, and then they found out about the lie they had been fed since childhood. Their excitement and willingness to act did not decrease one bit overnight. They were already imagining the next battles they would have to fight today. However, their daydreaming was interrupted by Bernar's question.

'Bernar' - Fi right? I think I know you from somewhere.

'Fi' - Yeah? I don't know you at all.

'Bernar' - Do you happen to work as a dealer? I recently chased two people, including a boy who looked a lot like you.

Fi' - Hm... - He looked at the ceiling and closed his eyes trying to remember - You are the guard who played tag with me! - He finally connected - And I completely forgot that I have a job!

'Bernar' - How can you forget it?

'Fi' - Somehow! And I have to let go of it! Hey, go on this adventure now and I'll join you as soon as I get off work!

Right after his statement, Fi got up from his chair and ran out of the fast food joint.

'Trix' - An idiot, he doesn't even know where the "adventure" is going to be.

*********************************

They have already left the restaurant. They were following Bernar and Coin to where the second largest gang was said to have a base. This place was on the other side of the underground so they had quite a long way to go, there was a gloomy city on the way. The farther from the center it got, the worse it got. The word "paint" didn't exist there, it had long since come off the buildings, leaving only gray concrete. The windows in the columns on the lower floors were broken. Burglaries and thefts made the apartments almost free, so that those who are referred to as "homeless" could not be seen. They were in free, dirty, dilapidated, dusty and cobwebbed apartments.

However, this did not impress our heroes, especially not Feli and Trix, who often came to such places together with Fi to play. They were then discovering the secrets of abandoned buildings. They watched the lives of drunks laughing at their drunken quarrels. Even as children, they were not afraid of dangerous adults, because even then their strength was close to that of an adult.

'Bernar' - The plan is this, we'll just make some noise. You don't have to go to the boss and catch him, just attract the attention of the guards to this place and they will take care of everything else.

'Trix' - Wasn't it easier then to get permission to do some inspection or something?

'Bernar' - Unfortunately, the guard is very corrupt. My superiors make deals with gangs and make a fortune.

'Trix' - So that's it - She sensed that it was so - That's why the city is only getting worse and worse.

'Bernar' - Yes, but keep it to yourself.

Trix - No problem.

'Feli' - Yes, corrupt, worse and worse - she shortened what they were talking about - But can we go back to discussing the plan?

'Bernar' - Yes, I wanted to ask what ideas you have to make noise. I was thinking about the bombs you used yesterday - He turned to Trix.

'Feli' - Wait! That's not what I meant! I don't like this plan! I don't want to silently bomb them, I want fight and action!

'Bernar' - But why risk it when it can be done in an easier way?

'Feli' - Because taking risks is fun! And if you don't want to change your plan, I'm not going!

'Trix' - If Feli is not going, so am I - She stood by her friend.

'Bernar' - Eh.. so what other plan do you have?

'Feli' - Go and fight!

'Bernar' - .... - He was silent, not wanting to agree with this proposal.

'Coin' - Let's make a deal then - He joined the conversation - Feli and Trix will try to get to fa.. - he stutters - to the boss and catch him, but if they fail, they will go back to plan A and try to cause a big explosion. Can it be like this?

'Feli' - I agree with that.

'Bernar' - Let's add something else to that, I'm going with them.

'Coin' - What? But it will be dangerous!

'Bernar' - I can't make someone risk their life and not take part in it myself.

'Coin' - Then I- - Bernar cut in.

'Bernar' - You stay, you still have a sprained ankle and you have a hard time walking. You can't take part in this, you'll stay behind and if something happens you'll call for help.

'Coin' - ..... - He knew his brother was right. he knew that because of a sprained ankle, he couldn't even run, much less help in any way - I will - He finally agreed.

They walked for a good half an hour until they finally reached their destination. The building Bernar pointed out looked nothing like a gang base. No protection; there was no one around. The building was dingy and looked abandoned. It was indistinguishable from the rest of the columns here.

'Bernar' - Do you have any plan to get inside?

'Feli' - Knock, enter, if they start shooting, knock them down and that's it.

Here is a simple plan that wasn't even a plan, thought up by Feli. The experience of the previous day told her that would be enough, but Bernar wasn't convinced. From his perspective, this "plan" was a veritable suicide, and since he was going to be part of it, there was no way he would agree to it.

'Bernar' - We have to think of something else.

Due to the lack of time, and frankly, they lack any experience in devising strategies, the plan was simple.

Feli volunteered to enter the building in a way that wouldn't immediately trigger a fight. The girl was supposed to pretend that, as a poor inhabitant of the underground, she was looking for a job. Dealer work, to be more precise. She was to take bombs with her, one smoke and one explosive, which, by simultaneously firing, were to confuse and surprise the employees. Then, most of them would gather at Feli's whereabouts, which would pave the way for Bernar and the Trix to get to the gang boss without too much trouble.

That was the plan, however,

Feli, as it was said, approached the indicated building. In her roomy pockets she kept two bombs, which unfortunately made the girl look quite suspicious, but that wasn't what ruined their plan. The girl knocked on the door, and from inside she heard only an unfamiliar voice of a man.

'Man' - Who's coming? - He asked menacingly.

Feli - Em .. - She took a breath knowing how weak her acting skills are - I'm looking for a job.

'Man' - Work? You think this is some fucking employment agency or what? Fuck off kid.

'Feli' - But! No normal job will take me, and I heard there is a gang here and you sell some drugs, I want to work as a dealer!

'Man' - Kid - The door of the building opened, and from behind it Feli saw a slightly fat adult man with horns on his head - How do you know about this place? Who was talking?

'Feli' - Erm, from a friend. And well, everyone in the underground knows about the gangs and...

'Man' - The name of the one who spilled it, now! - He shouted in a thick and heavy voice.

Feli wasn't scared of the man one bit, instead, she was scared that the plan they devised would fail because of her. She had no idea what to do, what to answer. Give the name of someone you know, or maybe come up with a nonexistent name. Yes, it's the second. The latter will be better.

'Feli' - His name is um, John Smith.

This is the worst name she could come up with. Nobody and nobody will fall for it. She chose the most popular name and the most popular surname often used in jokes or as an example of a name.

The man was about to come over, grab her by the hair, and force her confession out of her, but,

'???' - How pretty. Hey, big, how about giving her a job after all?

Another person appeared in the doorway. A man a little younger than the previous one, with a weasel-shaped head with brownish-gray fur. However, even for the animal's appearance, he was ugly. This term referred not only to his face shape, but also to his unwashed and dirty fur, which seemed to be shedding in some places, and ugly, cheap clothes.

'Weasel' - What do you say, instead of giving you a job as a dealer, which a weak girl can't handle anyway, you'll do something only girls can do.

The werebeast left the building and approached Feli. However, the girl did not realize what the man was talking about. All she could think of, was one thing she was better at as a girl than Filyy, and all she could think of, was shooting a toy gun at a target, which she was an expert at, but that wasn't because she was a girl, by all means. She couldn't figure out what as a girl only she could do.

'Weasel' - What do you say? - He touched her hair. Will you come into the building with me?

'Feli' - To the building? I can?

'Weasel' - If you want.

'Feli' - Sure! - She exclaimed happily that the plan to get inside was successful.

She and the man walked through the doorway. The horned man frowned at the idea, but didn't protest.

Feli had gone a few steps when suddenly one of the workers there spoke up.

'Employee' - Wait, I remember her, she was one of the ones who broke into Blue Cobra's base yesterday and destroyed them!

One of them shouted, giving the signal to fight.
