Chapter 79: Black Undercover
"All of you are aware, we will be holding an undercover mission," Chase said to the rest of the team selected for mission X as they called it, about twenty agents were selected.
He pressed a small device he held, displaying the invite on the widescreen computer for them to see.
"A masked ball" he began as whispers filled the hall.
"A grand ball?"
"All ghouls?"
"Is that even illegal?"
The whispers beca more prominent by the second.
"I never knew there were filthy rich ghouls, I thought they were always in hiding, but this..." Peter said, stunned just like the others were. "It’s a whole new level, this ans ghouls have always had that kind of power" He adds, gulping hard.
"It seems like it, Ghouls have everything we do," Jesse said nodding in agreent.
"There will be a drug exchange this night, which ans our main priority is to get to their leader as we know as Wayne Sanford, Leader of the V-ghouls or the Black ghoul, these two are our major suspect," Chase said as a profile of Wayne and Liam ca up, but the rest of the information was blank.
"This is all we could salvage of them both" He adds referring to their profile.
"The rest are hidden quite well"
"These two are so similar" Peter whispers to Jesse, she nodded in agreent.
"Peter if you would," Chase announced.
"That’s my cue," he said, rising to his feet as all eyes landed on him, he walked to the front.
"Peter Brook will be our specialist, handling whatever we need to blend in" he began leaving the floor for Peter.
He clears his throat.
"Alright as we all know, we are about to attend a grand ball filled with ghouls, and ghouls have very enhanced senses, which ans the mont we step into the hall we will be detected as human in other words, eaten" he adds the eaten part with clarity.
Everyone paled at the news.
"We are so gonna die," Jesse said sarcastically.
"Luckily I have sothing for that," He said, smirking.
A wave of relief filled the halls.

"Boss taking a partner," Kayla said with wide eyes, the news yesterday was a shock to her and others, Liam never took partners, he always went solo.
"Well that’s new," Gray said with a nod while taking his beer.
"It could only an sothing though, that Iris chick is banging the boss," Race said smirking.
Kayla elbowed him.
"Ugh...that mouth of yours" She fires.
"What?" he said with an innocent look.
"Haven’t you seen the way she looks at boss?" he adds with a point.
"Okay maybe it could be but don’t go blabbering about it," Kayla said rolling her eyes.
"He does have a point but I never thought Boss could be with soone," Gray said unease.
"He did have a girlfriend we didn’t know about," Kayla said, nodding in agreent.
"There’s a lot about Boss we don’t know," Race said.
"He gave us a purpose, he saved us, and there wasn’t much to question, I just wanna be useful to boss," Kayla said with sad eyes that were all she cares about ever since Liam saved her life, there wasn’t any amount of thing she could do that would make up for what he did for her.
Race and Gray felt the sa way too.
At a corner behind a wall, Rory overheard their conversation, he watches the three closely, seated at a relaxing space.
He caught their conversation especially with the one involving Iris and Liam. With an unreadable expression, he left.

Iris stood watering the garden, she was so happy when she found out the manor had a garden on the eastern side, she loved watering the flower and love watching them grow from her care, it was her hobby and helped her keep her mind off so things, but right now it didn’t, she just watered the plants lost in thoughts.
Her mind constantly drifting to the event of her and Liam especially when he said she would be her partner, that alone got her mind racing, Liam’s only partner has ever been Riley and right now he chose her, she thought their heated mont together was just a fling due to the way he acted, maybe she thought wrong, she smiled, maybe she just had to take ti to win his affections, it was worth the wait.
"Iris" Rory’s voice ca in, she turned as a smile graced her lips.
"Hey you, getting ready for the mission?" she asked in amusent.
"What’s going on between you and Liam?" he said with a skeptical look.
Iris sighs knowing word got out.
"What did you hear?" She began dropping the pipe, it automatically turned off.
"The fact you’re sleeping with him," He said with a stern look.
"So?"
"What do you an ’so’?"
"Well I’m an adult I do whatever I want, be with whoever I want, fuck with whoever I want" She stated folding her arms against her chest.
"Iris anyone but Liam"
"Why? Do you have a problem with him or sothing? He’s not a stranger you know"
"Of course I know that, we have known Liam ever since and I don’t have anything against him, it’s just.." he sighs.
"Just what?" she urges.
"He’s.." his teeth clenched as his eyes landed on her furious ones.
"He’s changed ever since Riley, I an look at him Iris am sure you can tell too, he’s not the sa Liam we know, he’s different and I don’t want him to hurt you"
"He would never hurt !" She said sternly.
"Yes I know, I an not physically but... look Iris I know you have feelings for him" He broke the ice, Iris looks away knowing he was right, she has fallen tiptoes for him ever since she laid eyes on him, but Riley was there and she didn’t act upon her feelings for him, she just kept it hidden but now Riley was gone and she had him all to herself and she wasn’t planning on letting him go.
She took a step closer to Rory, she wasn’t tall like him but she made sure as hell she intimated him with her presence.
"He will love , Rory," she states. "He just needs ti, and I will be there when he needs
