After they both had their released, Marco quickly refreshed himself and change into a new suit.
"I'll be back before midnight," he said, leaving a peck on her forehead.
"Okay," she replied. "Don't drink too much," she reminded Marco.
"Yes, ma'am," he replied and gave her a wink.
She watched him enter the elevator before she closed the door. She hurriedly grabs the black bag under the bed and put them on. She doesn’t have time for a quick shower since Marco occupied her body once again. On the other bag are her black leather boots and gloves. Although she will be in the room watching the monitor, she has to wear her work clothes: a pair of tight black pants, a sleeveless black shirt, and a black jacket. She also tied her hair up for convenience.
Athena observed her reflection in the mirror, and when she was satisfied, she gave herself a thumbs up. She can't believe that she will feel the adrenaline rush again after a year. Athena thought of Anton Baltazar and Benjamin Baltazar, the uncle and nephew duo. She had gotten what she needed with Anton Baltazar, though they can't make an arrest right now because his uncle is a key for their lifetime imprisonment.
Athena put her wireless nano-hidden earpiece and turned on her laptop. She entered strings of codes and connected all the cameras inside and outside the hotel's ballroom. She also has an eye on the lobby.
She saw Marco standing in the hotel's lobby and seemed to be talking to the hotel's employees. Her brows wrinkled, and she wondered why he was talking to them. She stopped thinking about it and concentrated on her work.
She couldn't find CamZ anywhere, so she decided to scan all the hotel monitors. Her body was tense when she couldn't find her.
"A1," she called.
"A1 here," said the man on the other end.
"I can't find CamZ," she said worriedly. She's supposed to be out by now, but she can't even find her shadow everywhere.
"I'll find her," he said in a low tone. He then discreetly looks for CamZ in the blind spots area.
He finally found her on the seventh floor's emergency exit crouching.
"Found her," he said.
"Where is she?" Athena asked in a concerned tone.
"Seventh floor's emergency exit," he replied while helping CamZ up.
CamZ is sweating profusely because of the cramps and is about to faint.
"A1, turn off your earpiece," she said in a quavering voice.
A1 was puzzled and knitted his brows. 'Women are complicated,' he thought.
"It's off," he announced.
CamZ then whispered to Athena, "Athena, I'm sorry my auntie came early," she tried to control herself from shaking due to extreme pain so Athena could hear her.
"Seriously?" Athena can't believe that CamZ's menstruation came amid their mission. She told her a long time ago to visit a doctor because her cramps worsened.
Athena tapped her fingers, thinking. She has to make a quick decision. Since CamZ cannot complete her mission, she has to take over.
"A1 take CamZ to her room," she ordered.
"His earpiece is off," CamZ replied.
"Then tell him, I'll meet you there in two," Athena quickly grabbed her black backpack under the bed and put the laptop inside. She also went to the closet and got a change of clothes.
Athena carried her backpack on her back and hurriedly left the room when she thought she had got everything. CamZ's room is three floors down from hers. She used the exit door and slid down the stairs' metal handrail.
She opened the exit door on the seventh floor, and she made sure that no one was around before she came out.
Athena quickly found CamZ's room and knocked lightly. A1 opened the door and looked around the hallway before closing the door.
CamZ was crouching on the two-seater couch. "Did you take your medicine?" Athena asked as soon as she entered the room.
"I did," she replied. Her voice is not shaky anymore.
"I'll do your job," Athena had no choice but to take over. It will be a little tricky for her to do that, but she has to. She can't let CamZ continue with her situation at the moment.
"Are you sure?" CamZ asked. She hates it each time they have to compromise because of her period. It's not even a matter of life and death, but it was terrible that she felt like dying.
"Yes, now, do your magic," she has to disguise herself so Marco won't recognize her, and CamZ is good at it.
CamZ can still feel the cramps, but she needs to do Athena's make-up.
"You can leave A1 and pay attention to Benjamin Baltazar. Update his every move to me while I'm not there," she instructed.
"Will do," he turned around and left the women in the room. A few months ago, he joined the organization and finished his sss forest training.
A1 heard a lot about these women. They are the only team that is composed of both women. They have accomplished many missions together, and they are one of the best teams in the organization.
He has contacted CamZ because they are both in the organization's vicinity and just met Athena earlier in the room. Athena and CamZ are about the same age, four years younger than him.
Before A1 returned to his original position, he scanned the ballroom to ensure that Benjamin Baltazar was not around yet. When he did not see him, A1 went back to the lobby.
CamZ made changes to the outline of Athena's face. She covered her black hair with a brown wig, and instead of putting on a contact lens, she made her eyes smaller. She trimmed her eyebrows and put a mole on the upper side.
They don't have much time, so CamZ did the best she could to change her appearance. She pushed Athena in front of the mirror to see herself. Athena is not surprised when she sees her new look. CamZ always disguises herself on each mission, so it's not uncommon to see her skills, although it is the first time CamZ did it to her.
CamZ went to the closet and handed a navy blue dress with silver sequins around the waist. They wear the same size, though. CamZ's breast is a little bigger than hers. But her behind is much bigger than CamZ.
"Wow! You're so beautiful and sexy tonight," CamZ said in admiration. "If you do not disguise yourself, you'll be the most beautiful there," she continued.
"It's thanks to you," she replied shyly. Dressing up since childhood is not her thing, but she has to do it tonight.
She practices walking in the living room to make sure she can handle the five-inch silver stiletto, or else she will embarrass herself in the ballroom. When she got used to it, she gave CamZ a thumbs up and headed to the door. Before she turned the knob, she looked back and said, "the laptop is in my backpack."
"Got it!" CamZ replied and immediately grabbed Athena's backpack to get the laptop.
