Between The Mafia Brothers

A beautiful woman dressed as a waitress walked across the party which was being held in one of the most luxurious mansions in the country.

The house was worth over hundreds of millions alone, without including the assets in it, and it is owned by a prestigious political family and they were currently having a party. The place was filled with several affluent and prominent individuals.

The family just bought a historical vase rumored to be made of pure gold and it was bought at a bidding price of one billion. It was well protected in their secret room along with other precious and expensive artifacts.

But tonight, this beautiful woman is going to steal this vase.

Her long brown hair which was packed into a ponytail, swung sideways as she approaches a woman. Her sea blue eyes gazed at the woman so intently.

"Would you like some more champagne, my fine ma'am?" asked the young woman so politely to the woman, who happens to be the lady of the house.

"For sure," the lady responded merrily and the woman handed a new glass of champagne to the lady while also collecting her previous glass.

She nodded at the lady as a way of excusing herself and so she began to walk away with the empty glass.

{Did you get it, Christie?} A voice asked from the ear pod the woman was wearing.

"Yes," she responded.

{Good, I'm already at the safe room. You have nothing to worry about, the place leading to the safe room is totally deserted. Now come over, let's steal the vase while all this folks are still all jolly jolly} The voice continued.

"Roger that!" the woman smirked.

Yes, her name was Christie- Christie Lance. One of the most dangerous and renowned spy and con artist in the country with the alias deadly whisper.

She walked into the mansion and towards the safe room with the glass in her hands. After getting passed the few people in the entrance and visiting room of the house. The hallways leading to the safehouse was truly deserted.

She got there and found her partner in crime.

"I see you have knocked out these guys real good," she started, referring to the bodyguards on the ground, unconscious.

"Hacked the CCTV camera too. We gotta be fast," he replied.

"Where's it?" he asked stretching his hand out to receive the glass, which she handed to him.

He began to sweep out the woman's fingerprints, Christie on the other hand had been wearing gloves not to tamper with the woman's fingerprints.

"One would never think the key to entering the safe room was the wife's fingerprints," she commented, while changing her clothes from the previous waitress attire.

"Yes, smart man. He knew all eyes would be on him initially and nobody would have suspected that it was his wife's fingerprints," said the man, by name John but who goes by the alias Phantom.

He soon got the metal doors of the safe room to open after quickly applying the woman's fingerprints. They walked in to get their trophy.

"Ah yes, this is the main game!" Phantom noted excitedly.

They collected the vase after checking it if it was authentic. It was, they put it into a black bag and it was carried by Phantom, but just when they were about to leave, Phantom pointed a gun at her.

"It's been fun sweetheart," he told with a grin.

Christie laughed, "I did see this coming and that's why I prefer working alone. You can't really trust anyone these days,"

"True, true. Now I'm gonna take this baby over here," Phantom stated referring to the vase with him, which was in the black bag.

"And I'm gonna kill you and you are going to take all the blame for this crime. The authorities are finally going to know the face behind the deadly whisper mask," Phantom continued and he cackled.

"(Scoffs) You think I'm not one step ahead of you," Christie scoffed and before Phantom could fantom what she was talking about, she had already kicked the gun out of his hands and away from him.

They engaged in combat and Christie had the upper hand. Phantom was a little bit good and so it took some while of fighting before she could defeat him.

She bruised his chin with her knee and finally sent him flying away and hitting the ground with a kick. The kick had so much impact that he couldn't get up for some while, some of the other artifacts in the room had been damaged.

"I'll just take that," she told and collected the bag containing the vase, which had been kept aside earlier as they fought.

"I'll just lock you up here till the police arrive," she chuckled and started walking away but then she felt a syringe go into her neck.

Phantom had gathered all his strength to stand up and do his last move. He injected her with a sleeping and paralysis drug when she had turned to leave. Its effects will subside only after a few hours.

The effects of the drug was so strong, Christie was soon on the ground.

"You a**hole!" she cursed and Phantom laughed collecting the bag once again.

"Sayonara," he uttered and walked out shutting Christie in.

The doors were opened after some while and though she was slipping in and out of consciousness, she could still see the blurry images of men in boots, probably with guns in their hands, they rushed into the room.

"Hands in the air," she heard them chorus.

"Deadly whisper," they muttered as if they had just hit the jackpot today.

"Don't move! You are under arrest deadly whisper," they continued.

Ah! This day was coming after all, sooner or later. The day she will be caught, but it just happened sooner than she had thought it would.

She wasn't always a spy and con artist.

She once had a life, a promising one. But not until that one night, the night that ruined her life. She could have chosen a different path, a better life after that night, but this was just what life led her to.

~Ten years ago...

Sounds of gunshots woke her up from her sleep. Her eyes shut open at once, she sat up immediately as she wondered what was going on.

Eighteen years old Christie Lance got off from her king size bed and walked close to the double sided door of her room.

She was curious but scared at the same time. She opened the door and walked out of the room.

She followed where the sounds were coming from, it was coming from the immediate floor beneath. That was where her parents room was located.

'What's going on?' she wondered as she proceeded.
