Domenico has tried to be very clever by getting his hands on our things. We didn't want to make any move on his ploy right now. First, we will take our goods back from him, then I will show him what it's like to be enmity with Enzo Ferrante.

In that case, I had set up a meeting now to take steps. For this work, we will not need that much of other men, that was why I had called only my friends.

Alora had requested to join our meeting, she said she might be of some use in our mission.

I refused her because she was still not prepared properly. Even if she was ready, I would not allow her in this, because no mission is without risk.

"Let's hear the plan one more time."

"How will we understand where he has kept the goods?"

"It may be possible that he would have kept all the goods at an underground place like he keeps those girls."

"Then we have to do something about his system first."

"I will look into Domenico's security systems but there is a problem..." Galen said first while leaning forward.

"What is that?" Rome asked.

"Once you gain access to the system using various password cracking methods, you have to maintain access in the system. If he had already abstained from using the same password or updated it, then we have to target the servers of his security company."

"Then do it..." Max replied to him.

"No, no, no. You don't understand. The server he used... I can not hack all of it. You may face some problems in coming out."

"Galen...Don't worry about that. Even if they find out that we hacked into their system, they won't be able to do anything." I replied confidently.

"Okay then!" Galen released a huff.

"Carlo, Rome and I will go there, we will have to let at least three more men come with us. They will wait for us to come back in the truck.”

"And what about those girls? We must save them this time also." Max insisted on saving them even though we would have.

"We will come back only after rescuing them," Carlo said with upset eyes.

"We will save them."

They all nodded and sighed full of worries and stress. We ended our meeting there and all four of them went back to their room to get some sleep before going for the mission.

We have kept this mission until dawn because that was the best time to enter someone's place even if you are not a thief.

The world thinks that we are the worst. They think we only get money by doing such dirty work.

They think that we had become powerful only by killing innocent people and destroying families. While we tried to save those innocents and give the fruits of the bad deeds to those bastards.

~~~~~

"Ahh! The feeling that comes after defeating your enemy is something else." Carlo jumped up and sat on the couch.

We accomplished the mission, that too without any risk. After rescuing all those girls from there, we had made arrangements to send them to their homes.

"We should celebrate. What do you say?" Rome was always looking for a chance to party.

"There will be no party." I flatly refused.

"Oh, come on, Enzo!" Carlo began to persuade.

I was going to refuse him again, but only then Galen came down the stairs to us.

He came towards me, patted me on the shoulder while sitting on the side and said, "All went well?"

"It all went well." Carlo said, showing a big grin and then continued," That Domenico will scream after waking up in the morning." Then he laughed.

"Now he will know how it is to poke his nose in our work." Rome smirked while sighing in relief.

"He wanted to harm us and we drowned his plan completely." A smirking smile formed on my lips.

We talked for a while about what happened there, how we came to know where the money was kept, how we rescued the girls and all.

"Where is Max? Is he sleeping?" Carlo asked while yawning.

"Oh yes! Come on... I have something to show you all." Galen showed a broad smile and asked us to follow him.

He brought us upstairs to the second floor. We started going through the hallway.

"Why are you taking us there?" Rome asked confusedly, narrowing his eyes on Galen.

"Yeah... that's the theatre room." Carlo also narrowed his eyes and turned to me.

I shrugged my shoulders telling them I did not know what he wanted to show us.

"Have patience guys. The interesting thing is inside the theatre room." Galen started giggling like a kid.

He opened the door to the theatre room and gestured us to enter.

The three of us came in and there he was. Max. But why was he sleeping here? Who was that with him–

All three of us were surprised to see the scene before us. Suddenly, I heard Carlo and Rome start chuckling by looking at this scene.

"Shhh..." Galen shushed them to keep quiet while he was also trying to keep his chuckle low by covering his mouth with his palm.

I also tried to hide my smile but failed. Carlo started punching like a kid on Galen's arm. Rome was laughing so hard that he barely could stand it. He was bending little by little while trying to balance.

"Ok, that's enough. Be quiet or they will wake up from their sleep." I glared at that trouble and Max.

Well, Alora and Max were sleeping on the joint bed couch but separately. Their faces were covered with face masks. Max was snoring with his mouth wide open.

On the other hand, Alora was sleeping peacefully, she had a different smile on her lips. Was she dreaming of someone because of which she was smiling so much?

"They are looking like our younger siblings." Galen showed a bright smile at that sibling's words.

"Uh! In the case of little miss..... she is only the sister of four of us." Carlo grinned while side glaring at me to see my reaction.

I ignored him but then they all started giggling.

My only focus was on her. I felt like going into her dream to see what she was dreaming, in which she was so happy.

Oh... I forgot that she was a dreamer.

They had ordered junk foods from outside, including cold drinks and popcorn. The floor was filled with pizza boxes, juice cans, popcorn, etc. I told her not to eat junk food but she did.

After all, she broke one of the rules. Now, I have to think of a punishment for her.

The two were looking like a total mess while sleeping. For how long were both awake?

"When did you know that both of them are sleeping here?" I turned to Galen and asked him.

"When you guys informed me that the work was done, I came downstairs for a short walk, then there was a sound coming from this room. I came to see it and... " He pointed to the two of them and their food mess.

"Wow! Seriously? We took that risk and went on a mission and this kid was enjoying having a movie night sleepover with our little miss, that too with a face mask on." Carlo said by showing dramatic hurt.

"Let him first wake up in the morning then I will tell." Rome patted his shoulder by supporting him.

The trouble couldn't just sleep here like this for the entire night. Otherwise, she would get an excuse for not practising tomorrow because of not being able to sleep properly.

"I am taking Alora to her room."

After I said that I didn't wait for their reactions or reply.

I came towards the edge of the couch. First I put her hands around my neck so she doesn't fall backwards, then I held her waist to pick her up like a bridal style. I picked her up and only then she tugged her hands more tightly around my neck.

A shiver passed through my entire body with just one of her touches.

"You guys look at Max." I faced them and their eyes were wide open while their mouths shut, making my eyes roll on them.

I carried her upstairs, down the hallway to her room. I opened the door to her room. This was the first time I entered that room after it became her.

She made a sound of exhaling slowly. Just by that sound, my heart started beating fast like a child's condition when he is afraid of being caught while stealing candy.

I was startled and she started burying her face deeply into my neck. Her warm breath was making a hole in my skin, keeping me frozen in my place.

"You came late." She mumbled in her sleep.

Was she talking to me? Or was she dreaming? That was confusing for me because she was still in deep sleep so there's no chance she said that to me.

I controlled my emotions, put her to sleep, and covered the blanket over her.

"Sogni d'oro, dreamer."

(Sweet dreams)
