My eyes were focused on the screen as I rapidly typed away. I tuned out the noise from the crowd as I scanned the different websites. I glanced up when I heard one of the Apple employees seductively ask Lara if she has any questions. I rolled my eyes since that's the 5th woman who's approached her since we entered the store.

I guess I should be happy since her face is distracting the employees from peering at my screen. I subtly moved to block the screen when I found a tweet about a fight breaking out at Lech. I then did some hacking and found the security feed of the two men. I glimpsed at Lara to see her distracting a few more employees and customers. Guess Apple won't be making any sales today.

I accessed the dark web and used a few tricks to locate a recent feed of Adam Gunning. I then narrowed down the search and found a security video of him at a hotel. I reviewed the video and noticed that he had entered the hotel a couple hours ago.

"I love your accent. Where are you from?" One of the women flirted with her.

I rolled my eyes and cursed myself for telling Lara to allow her natural French accent when speaking. I'm really regretting it since it makes her infinitely hotter and her hotness is immeasurable.

"France." Lara smiled. "How about yourself?"

"I'm from the US. A couple of my friends are here for vaca!" The girl gestured to her friends. "Why are you in Italy?"

"Oh, I'm here for-"

"Her wife." I shut the computer and turned to them. "Let's go, sweetie." I glared at the girl and dragged Lara out the store.

"Slow down, love." Lara chuckled and entwined our fingers. "You look beautiful-"

"Save it." I glared.

"I thought my role was the distraction." Lara swung our arms back and forth. "That is what you've been telling me to do." She gave me a knowing smirk.

"Didn't tell you to flirt." I snarked.

"I was simply answering a question." Lara smiled. "No flirting on my part." She kissed my cheek.

Lara began whispering sweet nothings in my ear. I playfully glared at her as we walked through the mall. She then repeatedly kissed my cheek while I rolled my eyes. I then looked to my left and saw a few men touch their ears as they walked. I then looked to my right and saw some women down the same thing. I then glanced up and noticed a few security cameras.

"Lara, did your gorgeous face smile at some cameras?" I stared at her confused face. "Seems that we have some company, my love." I gestured to the undercover agents scrutinizing the crowds.

"Fuck." Lara whispered.

"Not necessarily." I tightened my hold on her hand.

I gave a fake laugh and flung my head back. I subtly led Lara close to one of the hat vendors. I swiftly stole two hats and placed them on our heads. I then grabbed two sunglasses along with hoodies. Lara and I naturally used the hood to cover our heads. As we approached two agents, I pulled Lara's head close to me and told her to fake laugh. We then laughed while angling our faces away from the agents. I then looked behind us and smiled when they kept walking away.

My eyes were darting around the place to spot more agents. I was able to guide Lara away from them and blend in with the crowd. I then noticed a side exit and dragged Lara behind me. She peered behind her as she followed me into the parking lot. I escorted her to a Honda Civic and looked around. I then expertly unlocked the car door and hot wired it. Lara got in the passenger seat as I drove out the parking lot.

"Siri, find Napoleon Hotel Roma." I switched lanes.

"You're asking Siri to find the hotel?" Lara laughed.

"Either that or I physically type it in my phone and safety first. No using your phone and driving." I smiled.

"You're cute." Lara laughed. "It says this place is 2 hours away."

"Better get comfy." I chuckled. "You might want to take a quick nap." I teased.

"Don't mind me." Lara closed her eyes, prompting me to playfully roll my eyes.

I played some music while driving on the highway. There wasn't much traffic, so we got there without a hitch. We ditched the car a few miles from the hotel, so we had to walk to the building. I had Lara approach the receptionist and compel her to reveal Adam's room number. After watching the exchange, I don't think Lara actually had to compel the woman to get anything from her. Lara gave her an award winning smile before gesturing for me to follow her.

"Look at you leading. It's almost like you have a plan." I nudged her.

"My plan was to walk in and politely demand that he tell us what we want to know." She shrugged.

"And what is it that you want to know." I pushed her against the wall and bit my lip. "Because you and I may desire different things." I nipped her ear.

"You're really making it difficult to control myself."

"Then I'm doing my job." I whispered against her lips. "Let's go." I smirked when she whined.

Lara and I took the elevator to the designated floor. We then walked down the halls before stopping. Lara and I looked at each other when we heard several crashing noises. I ignored Lara's silent protests for me to stay back. I approached the door and heard the sound of flesh hitting and grunts, but not the pleasurable kind. My eyes then widened when I heard shots. I kicked open the door and stared at the burly men around the room.

I rolled out the way of oncoming shots. I then pushed myself up and tackled the nearest man. I then punched him and was able to throw his gun away. I then cracked his neck and dove behind a couch, missing a few more shots. I grabbed the leg of a table and flung it at a man. He grunted and dropped his gun, so I jumped on him and kneed him out the window.

One of the men wrapped his arms around me and lifted me in the air. I grunted and leaned forward, forcing him to move me to where my feet were on the ground. I then back peddled until his back collided with the wall. I then leaned forward and flipped him over me. I found a shard of glass and slashed his neck open. I kicked him down as he gargled on his blood.

I turned when I heard footsteps enter the room. Lara's eyes were looking at me in shock and awe. I smirked and shrugged before pelting the shard at a guy's eye. He screamed and fell to the ground. I approached him and snapped his neck. I then turned to see Adam shoot a guy dead. He then turned and aimed the gun at me, but not for long.

Lara sped forward and broke the gun. His eyes widened as hers darkened. She grabbed him by the neck and lifted him in the air. She then slammed him on the coffee table, breaking it. Adam winced and contorted his body in pain. He's clearly a human based on his inability to take a hit.

"Don't shove a gun in her face again." Lara coldly whispered into his ear. "That's your final warning." She then walked to the door and closed it.

"Who are you?" He narrowed his eyes at us.

"Best not to know for your survival." I squatted next to him. "I have some questions and luckily... you have the answers. You work for Supernatural Interpol and are investigating a sex trafficking case. I'd like to know any more details about your mission."

"Fuck off." He sneered.

"Okay... Lara."

I walked around the room while Lara began to torture him. He winced and tried to control his screaming, but Lara's methods were rather painful. As I walked by the bedroom, I spotted his laptop case. I approached the object and stared at his computer. I was about to access it, but I noticed a flash drive hidden in his case. I slowly took it out and stared at it. I wonder what's-

"Leave that!" I turned to see the guy glaring at me.

Damn, Lara really did a number on him. It hasn't even been a minute and he has a broken arm and leg, probably a fractured rib, dislocated shoulder, black eye, and a busted lip. I think she digressed from simple torture to punishment for waving a gun in my face. I tilted my head as I stared at him. I tossed the flash drive up and down as I approached him.

"Something tells me that you have something on here that you don't want me to know." I mocked before looking at Lara, who smirked.

I nodded and went to his computer. I heard him grunting before he screamed as Lara drank from him. I opened his computer and used the program on my phone to bypass his passcode. I then plugged the drive in and smirked at the confidential files before me. I was able to access some things, but other items were locked. I hissed my teeth and tried different command codes, but nothing worked. I then realized that his computer wasn't equipped with the necessary functions to perform certain prompts to unlock the files.

I groaned and broke his computer in half. I then place the usb in my pocket before turning to Lara. She had just finished drinking from him, so she used a towel to dab her face.

"His computer can't access some of the files. We need a different computer that's capable."

"The computers we have in France are-"

"We can't go back to our homes since they'll be watched." I ran a hand through my hair. "How will we... I've got it." I smirked while Lara raised a brow in confusion. "Let's go, love."

I did a little hop and turned to smile at Lara. She chuckled and leaned over me to knock on the door. I giggled and pulled her face towards me to kiss. Lara chuckled against my lips and held me close as we passionately kissed. I ignored the door opening, followed by a shock gasp. I leaned away from Lara's intoxicating lips and turned to the person.

"Hey, Zaynie."

"Fuck me." He groaned.

"Definitely." I smirked and moved past him.

Zayn glared at Lara as she walked by him. Lara made a show of annoying the man by walking to his kitchen and picking the most expensive wine she could find. Lara uncorked the bottle and drank straight from it. Zayn gave me a perplexed look and was about to say something, but I held my finger up. I silently chuckled before pointing at the door. Zayn was about to say something, but the doorbell rang.

He walked to the door and opened it to reveal Jade. Jade sighed as she took off her coat. She brushed past him and rubbed her eyes.

"What's so important that you had to talk to me in person rather than over the phone?" She looked at him.

"Umm..."

"Me." I smirked when Jade turned around. Her eyes widened in shock and happiness and annoyance. "I may have hacked into his phone and sent you that message."

"What the fuck are you doing here?!" Jade whisper yelled. "You're a wanted convict after that stunt you pulled. You're basically on the most wanted list and declared a rogue agent and-"

"Anymore wine, Zayn?" Lara captured their attention. "You ran out." She gestured to the three empty bottles.

"You brought her here?!" Jade yelled at me. "What the fu-"

"I need to access your computer to see this encrypted file." I brushed past Zayn and grabbed his computer. I twisted my way around Zayn grabbing for his laptop.

"Okay, babe. She's literally a criminal who traffics girls to be fed to hungry vampires. They're farmed, Mia. Do you understand?" Jade slowly asked.

"I understand the case and what has been stated." I logged into the computer and plugged in the drive.

"Dude, she's a serial rapist and murderer. How do you defend someone who's taking young women for nefarious purposes?" Zayn asked.

"Simple." Lara smirked at their glares. "I'm innocent... surprise." She chuckled at their anger.

"And you seriously believe her?" Jade scoffed at me.

"Yes." My eyes didn't leave the computer.

"Why?" Zayn inquired.

"Because she wouldn't do that. And she also told me she didn't." I breathed out while scanning the restricted files.

"And you took her at her word? Even with the amount of evidence against her?" Jade was perplexed.

"She's being framed." I spared her a glance.

"That's such a unique response." Zayn grumbled.

"We need to find who's behind this, so we can figure out the location of the missing girls." Lara pushed herself off the island. "I also want to find out who was brazen enough to frame me."

"I don't believe you." Jade glared at her.

"And I don't care." Lara approached me. "Find anything interesting?"

"Found a series of expense reports." I showed her. "Know anything?"

"Hailey mainly handled the financial side." Lara sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "I can try and contact-"

"No contact. She's being watched." I scrolled through more reports. "There are some redacted statements from an interview with the accountant. I want to know what was said in the interview. Maybe the accountant knows the person behind your identity theft. Wonder if he said anything that could be a hint or we could know his actual name if we can get our hands on the interview."

"Where would it be if not on the computer?" Zayn asked, but I gave him a devious smirk.

"Oh no." Jade shook her head. "Absolutely no-"

"We need to break into Supernatural Interpol Headquarters and steal the file." I rubbed my hands together and wickedly smiled. "Who's in?"
