Waking up to see a clear blue sky, and birds chirping to show how happy they were. He smiled remembering he was with the people he loved; who won't betray or lie to him.

"Good morning sleepy head, will you please get up, your majesty. Do you know what time it is or should I come and help you get up?" Natalia said smirking earning a scowl from her brother.

"Did you have to ruin the moment? I was just enjoying my sleep. I was happy I don't have to go to work and you came to invade my peace" Nathan said in anger

"Aww, high and mighty Natie is angry, I disturbed your majesty's sleep I'm pretty much sorry your highness. Just get up already or you'll get yourself soaked up" she threatened

"I think someone is forgetting that I am supposed to give her a treat and that someone is meant to respect me or the treat is going to be cancelled" he scowled

"I'm sorry Nate please forgive my childish behaviors it's just that I miss you and wanted to spend the whole day with you" she pleaded

"Okay, okay I'm up if you don't mind this majesty will like to have his bath" he said making her roll her eyes but she ended up leaving him to his privacy

'I wonder what kind of girl Talia is; she's troublesome and too persistent. Anyway I love her that way, my naughty little sister'  Nathan smiled to himself and entered his bathroom.

"Mum, Dad, Good morning, how was your night?" Natalia greeted her parents

"Morning, my night was fine too. Now where is that lazy boy that calls himself Nate?" Their father asked

"He hasn't changed one bit, I wonder how he gets up early to go to work" Robert said

"Very nice of you to say that about me, but as a matter of fact, I've changed. I now wake up early, with an exception of today because it is my off-day and I need my peaceful sleep to remain handsome" Nathan boasted making Talia facepalm.

"You are too full of yourself, who asked all that from you?" Natalia said and left to join her mother in the kitchen.

"Do not forget you have to be at work early Blaire, your training starts today, get up lazy bone!" Ashton scolded

"Why did mum have to send this big bully to me and not my lovely sister who sings wonderful songs to wake me up in the mornings" Blaire said in anger

"You better get up now or I will drag you out of that bed, little sis." he smirked after saying that because he knew Blaire will get up after hearing that.

"Get out of my room this instant Duffus; I have to get ready." She said after jumping out of her bed.

"I wonder why you are a girl when all you do is act like a boy" he murmured

"I heard that so just get out before I unleash my kicks on you" she threatened. He left her room quietly, while she went to get herself ready for the day. She took her bath dressed up and carried her box and small bag downstairs.

“Good morning Mum, good morning Dad!” she shouted from as she descended the stairs

"Blaire you are getting late!" Her mother exclaimed. Her father just lifted his head from the newspaper he was reading and gave her a warm smile. 

"I'm here Mum." she said. Ashton saw her coming and went to help her carry her box and smiled at her

"I'm sorry for yelling at you" they both said at the same time making their mother smile at them, as she began to set the table for breakfast.

"Go and show them what you've got my lovely princess, Ashton is giving you a lift. Take care of yourself baby girl love you." Their mother said after the meal.

"Thanks mum" she said pecking her mum, now facing her father who has been quietly reading his newspaper since she got down from her room.

"Take good care of yourself Blaire, I'll miss you and don't skip meals. Call us okay? Bye." her father said waving at her.

"Let's go brother." she said feeling sad because she was going to be separated for from her family for some weeks. Her family was not used to separation. They all ushered Blaire into the car and Ashton drove off.

When they got to her place of work he dropped her off "Don't forget to call me, little sister" he said hugging her.

"I won't big bro, don't go late to work and don't get suspended" she said smiling, he ruffled her hair making her shout his name he ran off and drove off waving to her.

"That was so cute" her best friend said "It's not like you're going forever why all the drama? You better get inside before Mr. Grumpy start looking for you" she said hugging her

"Miss Blaire you have wasted our time enough you have to join us now" Mr. Jack, the director shouted through the speaker startling she and Cassie. Blaire scurried to the director's office finding her juniors and few of her mates already standing obviously waiting for her arrival.

"So guys the bus will convey all of you to the airport, where you will board a plane to our training ground, the person that comes out best in the training, will go on a special mission which will be assigned" he informed them.

"Yes sir!" they all chorused and moved to the waiting bus, Blaire and her friend Cassie, walking together towards the bus.

"Dont forget to call me bestie. I sure will be bored with you away" Cassie said

"I will call you for sure 'as ta la vista babe' "  Blaire said blowing Cassie a kiss.

The journey to the camp/training ground was smooth even though tiring. On arriver they were told to settle in and relax for the day. The training starts the following day. They were grouped in fours which included two males and two females; they all came from different agencies.

Every morning, they wake up early for their various trainings like mountain climbing, squats with knee thrust, Shuffle Push-ups, Jump lunge. Blaire who knew how much she wanted to be the best worked so hard during the training sessions, all her mates want to catch up with her but they could not, because she put in all her best.

"Smart, I want you to withdraw a small amount of money and use that forged card to withdraw the rest.

"Okay sir, how much am I to withdraw?"

"I want you to withdraw 20 million dollars"

"We can't withdraw all at once in order not to raise suspicions, or we'll be tracked. Lets do it little by little so as not to get caught. They wouldn't find out until they are accounting for how the money is spent, so I will advise we take only 5 million dollars at a time."

"I see why you have the name Smart, you are really smart" he patted Smart on the back

Nathan was being driven to work one morning when two black SUVs showed up behind them.

"Who are those? Do you think they are after us?" He asked his driver

"I don't know them but they seem like paparazzi"

"Oh no that means they are after me; drive faster!"

"I'm trying my best but they are also fast"

"Take that short cut" Nathan ordered and the driver turned into the road.

"They are behind us again, and gaining in on us, they must not catch up with us, please continue to add more pressure to the accelerator"

"Okay sir"

"Don't talk just drive" Nathan shouted "They are gaining in on us!"

"Sir, I think you should call your father, the driver advised and he heeded

"Father, there are two vehicles chasing my vehicle and they know all the way we've been passing. We are almost at Aaron's house" Nathan said in agitation

"Okay, hmmm, I know just what you are going to do. You have to call Aaron and ask him if you can quickly drive into his house; that is the only option or they might harm you if they catch up with you."

"Okay dad I will do just that"

"Hi Aaron, I'm almost at your house and I need a favor because some strange vehicles are on a hot chase after me."

"Please open your gate and we'll drive in with haste and close if fast too. I cannot risk anything"

"That is not a big deal. Where are you? Don't worry I've tracked down where you are; I am going to open the gate as soon as you get there and will close immediately you drive in."

"Thanks bro"

"No big deal, now tell your driver to pass that road that we found and drive in. I will be expecting you"

Few minutes later, on getting to Aaron's gate they drove in with speed and saw Aaron shut the gate after them as fast as possible. Nathan got down and hugged Aaron.

"Don't squeeze the life out of me. You're welcome" he said as they walked into the house.

Aaron and Nathan went into his study to check the surveillance camera outside the gate to know if those vehicles are still anywhere around the house, they were nowhere to be found.

Nathan stayed for an hour to be sure its safe to move, and then he left for his place of work.

On getting to work he did not notice the reporters until he got out of the car

"Why did you steal from the government? One of the reporters asked. Is your company going bankrupt?" asked yet another. Nathan kept mum, because he knew any utterance he made, can be used against him.

Another reporter was about to ask him another question when suddenly out of the blues, some security men appeared, took Nathan into the building shielding him from prying cameras and desperate reporters.
