Eric peered through the powerful scope on his sniper rifle as he moved his crosshairs slowly onto his target. A gust of wind blew through the trees, and the temperature was just right for this kind of shot. His finger rested on the trigger. As he held his breath and fired, the rifle recoiled with a scent of gunpowder. The bullet sped out of the muzzle, smashing through the window as it shattered the sherds of glass all over. The multimillionaire fell to the ground. Eric folded in the tripod on his sniper rifle and jumped back to his feet. He then nodded at Jennings.

She sprinted down the emergency staircase and rounded the corner heading to Eric's Porsche coupe. As he tossed the keys, she caught them in her grip. She slid into the driver-side of the vehicle and roared down the street to Avery Brennon's mansion. She arrived there, pulling up to the security gate. The security men rushed towards the Porsche, not seeing the woman protruding out the window with an MP5 submachine gun.

Jennings opens on them, bullet pining all the vehicles as glass shattered. After that, she steps out clutching her MP5 submachine gun in her grip and makes her way to the mansion. She crept along the wall, remaining in the shadows, grabbing the doorknob and opening it, entering inside. Her emerald green eyes darted over to Elizabeth NightShade and Emilia.

She sprinted through the crowd, her eyes narrowed on the laptop on the table,  showing the part of the highly classified files. She raises her MP5 and trains at Emilia and shouts. " Don't even think of it Emilia because if you do. I'll put a round into her head."

"I'm not scared of you Jennings, I'm going to get that disc no matter what and maybe even show it to all your enemies," Emilia snarled walking back over to Elizabeth.

Jennings immediately moves her barrel over to the laptop and opens fire at it as it explodes into pieces. " I don't think so!!"

Elizabeth whips out her sliver Desert and pulls the trigger as she fires a shot at Jennings. Jennings bolts over to a sofa, and dives behind it as she takes over the bullet, almost hitting her by inch. With the laptop destroyed now, there was no way these buyers could get those files now, still, the disc was out in the open for anyone to grab.  All hell is about to break loose now, Eric because I put a round into the laptop, "she voiced through his earpiece.

"Get out of there now I got you covered Jennings," Eric replied.

"No, not yet we need to retrieve the disc before Elizabeth and Emilia or it's all over for you and me," Jennings stated.

"Good thinking, move fast, then," Eric told her.

Emilia charged at Jennings with her blade gripped in hand, as she sprinted over to the sofa and leapt over it with a loud cry with her eyes locked on Jennings. Jennings jolts up to her feet, dropping her MP5 to the floor as she balls her fist and throws a few jabs at Emilia's jaw and chin. She felt the blade pierce her skin as she screamed. "Fuck"

"Now is not the time to scrub Jennings and Eric Emilia. We need to get out of here," Elizabeth stated in a demanding tone.

"We have to get the disc. It's our only chance to expose Nightfall for good," Emilia stated.

Jennings took off a sprint, snatching up her MP5 in her grip as she dived for the disc laying on the ground while still holding her MP5 in her grip. She quickly grabbed the disc as gunfire erupted. She jumped to her feet, darting with all might heading to the entrance and emerged outside.

She walked over to the Porsche Coupe, slid into the driver seat and closed the door behind her as she sped through the gate and voiced her earpiece. " I got the disc, Eric and I'm on the way back there, be ready quick."

"Good I'll be down right away," Eric told her, as he got on his feet, pivoting seeing a woman with tan European and dark red hair training her gun at him.

"CIA, Don't move or I have  to put around into you," Orleana demanded in her native Russian accent.

"Were on the side here I work for the CIA unofficially for a black outfit called Night drop." Eric explained to Olreana my handler is Holiday."

Olreana lowered her pistol down at her side as she says. " Eric the Red I heard about you at the Farm and at the CIA,"

Elizabeth and Emilia headed for the door as they rushed over to the armoured limousine. The chauffeur opened the door for them and they slid into the back. Emilia glanced at the mansion, knowing this was far from over. She slipped her blade back into her stealth and said," Listen", they have the disc, we need

"Not yet, first we have to deal with Ambassador Ingitus in Rome, then we worry about Eric the Red and Jennings," Elizabeth told her.

Emilia nodded in agreement with Elizabeth. She had gone over her kill list before coming to the party; it was all about waiting for the right moment. She and Elizabeth had traveled together all over the world enjoying themselves. She rubbed her chin, feeling the jab had struck her. 

Ruyan made her way over to the entrance. Tonight wasn't a total; waste. Although she didn't get the disc she came for, she now had a formable powerful opponent to worry about: Elizabeth Nightshade and Emilia Jackson. She slipped on her dark sunglasses and strode over to the limousine.

Callan exited the mansion as he reached into his pocket inside his suit and pulled out his burner. He then entered an encrypted number as he held up the phone up to his ear. " Sir, we have a problem, now the disc you dispatch to retrieve at the party Night drop as it now"

"God dammit Callan we needed that disc to expose Nightdrop to their enemies," Huntley scowled.

Lex's Pov

I headed for the entrance, emerged outside, making my way over to the jeep, slid back into the driver-side and closed the door. The one thing I knew for sure was I was going to meet Eric the Red sooner than later, maybe on another joint operation. Still, I was impressed that he had eliminated Avery Brannon from a distance.

My earpiece chirped. It was Olreana. "Lex, they are on the same side. We can trust them," Olreana told me.

Leslie made her way over to the two dead bodies laying on the floor and opened up the cleaning bag. Then she pulled out two plastic gloves and picked up the body of the chief of security as he strode up to the washroom and entered. She turned on the hot water, rolled out a long black zip bag on the floor and started sawing the body off in parts. She poured some strong chemicals in to dissolve the body faster.

After that, she wiped down the bathtub cleaning it very well and she did the same to Avery Brennon's body. She pulled off her plastic gloves as she darted down the staircase with her cleaning kit in her grip and exited the mansion and headed over to her vehicle. She drove through the gate heading for the Airport. She knew that she would have to use one of her aliases.

Jennings arrived at the hotel pulling up to the curve, Eric nodded at Orleana as he snatched his sniper rifle and strode down the staircase over to his Porsche Coupe and climbed in. They sped back down the street to their safe house knowing that they had completed the contract.

She looked over at Eric, and says"I'm going to need some off Eric, I have to promote my first book."

Eric smiled and says " You got it Maizie,  enjoy your time off promoting your awesome thriller, as they pull into the driveway of the safe house and see Holiday standing outside. They stepped out, closing the door behind and handed him the disc. After they strode inside and headed for the Kitchen for some old eggnog and whisky to drink to celebrate their Christmas together.
