James - *Knocks*
Charlotte - Come in..
James - *Enters and closes the door*
Charlotte - You ?..
James - What is it you wanted to say ?
Charlotte - Nothing special...
James - I know what you want to say...
Charlotte - ..If you are here to tell me to focus on the missions and trainings..you can leave .
James - I'm not here for that..
Charlotte - What are you here for ?
James - Is that the way you talk to people before telling them you like them ?
Charlotte - ..What...what do you mean ?
James - *Hugs her* I stopped you in the car because..I wasn't sure if they were asleep..I know what you were trying to say...I wanted to be the first one to tell..
Charlotte - *Froze*

Next day -

Amber was walking down the hallway when Charlotte came from behind and excitedly wrapped her arm around Amber's shoulder .

Amber - Oh my gosh ! Charlotte you scared me !
Charlotte - You know the best news !!
Amber - What..did Lily get suspended ? Did William get suspended ?
Charlotte - No idiot ! *Whispers in her ear* James confessed me !!
Amber - What ?!! Are you serious ?! You said yes ?
Charlotte - Ofcourse !
Amber - Oh my god ! Yay ! *Mini claps*

Afternoon - Meeting room -

David - *Watching his phone*
Ren - They digged a way to the bank..so they can take out the money . So in a similar way the underground road would be used to transport the money , drugs and many more things in a truck . I want you to think about ways to get them . But it's a busy street and they will be carrying guns with them , so our one wrong move and we'll be exposed too . That's all for today !
James - Okay.. everyone can start the work from today itself...
Damian - Yes... *Takes out his phone*
James - May I repeat for you David sir ? *Sarcastic*
David - No need ! *Turns of his phone*
James - Okay ! I have to make an important announcement .
Charlotte - James..
James - Don't worry.. *Stands up*
Duke - Wait , wait , wait ! Let's place a bet on what the news will be !
Henry - I'm in !
Damian - Me too ! *Keeps his phone away*
Amber - Me too !
Duke - I bet...that he is going to announce boring rules for $10 .
Henry - He will announce stupid trainings and practice sessions for us .
Damian - He will forbid eating snacks in meeting room . But I will still do .
Amber - He'll announce that he is dating someone..

The three of them looked at her as if she was a ghost .

Damian - Nehhh !
Duke - Him ? Dating not possible !
Henry - Let's see !
James - *Scoffs* So everyone...I'm having a girlfriend .
David - *Looks at him*
James - I hope no one minds it..
Ren - No.. absolutely no one..unless and until your work isn't affected .
James - It won't be..trust me .
Duke - Where did you find a girl ?
Henry - Are you serious ?
Damian - Don't tell me I have to give $10 to this idiot !
Amber - You have to ! $30 in a row !
David - Come to the point ! Is it Charlotte ?
James - ...Do you have a problem with it..?..Trust me , I won't let it affect our missions and our team..
David - ...I trust you...Congratulations.. *picks up his phone and leaves*
Amber - Damn ! What an influence..James and Ren are older than him but still are scared of him..
James - He scared me for a second..
Amber - Hey..James ! I heard that you , Augustus and Mr.Dawson were in the same college . How did Augustus and Mr.Dawson became friends ? They aren't friendly that they could approach each other .
James - Hm..

Flashback -

David - *Practicing basketball in an empty stadium*
Augustus - *Sits on the audience chair*

David put the ball through the ring and took the basketball was about to leave .

Augustus - Do you want to play a match ?
David - *Looks at him while breathing heavily* Sure...

The match started and both of them were very equal . It was hard to guess who'll win . At last David got the last ball and won .

Augustus - *Breathing heavily* You played well..
David - *Breathing heavily* You too...David..
Augustus - Augustus...We're in the same class...no friends ?
