Beyond the Cryptic Cave
Robinson's queens
She's wild, she's fearless, she's the leader take a ride in her jeep and experience the real fear, it comes with adventure. I swear you will cheer.
Car owner
Jess....Jessica Danvers?
Jessica Danvers, Aka Jay. Nicknamed the queen of Robinson city. 23 years old. A secret agent, founder and CEO of Glow tech companies. Tall and athletic with dark intense eyes that seem to see right through people.
She holds a no nonsense attitude that can be both intimidating and comforting.
And she loves in a very strange way.
Jessica Danvers got out of her car feeling rather annoyed. She opened the door of her jeep and stepped out. As usual, the moment of her exit was like the triumphant entry in slow motion.
Everyone was looking her way with envy, she was a showstopper, and she was always aware of it.
Even the man who had screamed earlier at the damage to his Mercedes-Benz could not help himself from gawking at the tall and statuesque goddess in front of him.
She swung her long hair back and looked at the mess she had made. An annoyed look appeared on her face.
Jay
Crap! That's a terrible dent.
She spoke trapping everyone with her deep feminine voice.
Car owner
My car.....it's damaged...
Jay
Insurance will take care of it, no need to mourn.
Jessica spoke absentmindedly looking up at the giant building in front of her. Amaryllis hotel, her destination.
Car owner
*Swallow* I......I don't have insurance.
That was a lie, anyone in Robinson city had insurance. It was like owning a bathroom or paying rent, a complete necessity. But seeing that this was the Jessica Danvers, one of the most independent wealthy women in Robinson, the man saw his chance.
Jessica checked her wrist watch and realised that she was more than late. She could already imagine the drama inside the hotel and could not wait to be done. She took a cheque book and tore off a paper.
Jay
Take this and get it fixed.
Car owner
*stunned* This is.....
Jay
*raised her hand* Next time, I won't be merciful.
With that, Jay cat walked into the hotel.
guard
Your sisters are waiting for you in the suite upstairs.
guard
I don't know, I was just told to convey the message to you by Miss Kaliwal.
Jay
*eyes closed* This girl.
Jessica take turn and head upstairs. She didn't like taking the elevator, she preferred the stairs And since she was an athletic girl, she managed to get their in time.
Samantha Ibrahim AKA Sam. Nick named the mastermind. 25 years old. A secret agent, top designer, Glow tech co-founder and advisor. She's the brains of the team, always two steps ahead with a keen eye for detail. She has a quiet confidence that commands respect from her teammates and enemies alike.
Jessica took her seat next to Nicole and grabbed a glass of water. After drinking it, she wiped her mouth and looked at her sister. They called each other sisters, not because of blood but because of the bond they had had for the past year they had been together. And they cherished their relationship more than anything in the world.
Jay
A crappy meeting with the MD of Cross Techs
Jazzy
Seems like it didn't go well.
Jasmine Kalither. AKA the angel. 24 years old. A secret agent, Glow tech co-founder and owner of Glow jewels. She's a beauty with gray piercing eyes, always bringing a fresh perspective and determination to the team. Excluding her love for priceless gems, she's so far the only one who is normal.
Jay
*rubs her knuckles* Obviously.
Sam
Don't tell me you.....*sighs*
Sam
Jay, what did we say about reasoning?
Sam
I told you to be reasonable at times and don't rush in being violent.
Jay
😤 he said I lacked manners just because I called his products garbage.
Ash
Baby you're really terrible with words.
Ashley Gol. AKA Ash. Nicknamed drama queen. 25 years old. A secret agent, actress and co-founder of Glow tech. She's petite but moves with precision and grace, a skilled martial artist who is quick on her feet and a comedian who always brings life to the team.
Jay
It wasn't wrong, his products are really garbage.
Jay
I don't think anyone would buy his trash.
Nick
❄❄I think you deserved that.
Nicole Pitt, AKA Nick. 26 years old. A secret agent, tech-savvy,, and co founder of Glow tech. She has bright curious eyes that seem to sparkle with intelligence and she's always tinkering with gadgets and gizmos, ready to hack into any system or surveillance.
Jay
If it didn't align with my expectations what did you want me to say?
Nick
Exactly what you've just said.
Nick
You're too dumb you wouldn't understand.
Ash
No, Jay is not dumb....she's just too honest.
Sam
Don't encourage her, Ash.
Nick
Yeah, we've had cases like these three times in a row just this week.
Nick
Or do you want me to count for you?
Jay
No, I mean it's not three.
Jay
*grins* It's actually four. Plus this, its five.
Sam
That's not something to be proud of.
Jay
I'm just doing my job.
The five girls were secret agents for a secret organization called Sparks. It trained Spies and Assassins, letting them work on different cases that were almost feasible to crack. Being secret agents, they had a double life. Living as rich independent women outside and searching for dangerous criminals in the dark.
No one would really suspect that these women were anything but spies because of how they lived their daily lives and more especially their backgrounds.
The girls left home while the youngest of them was fourteen. They build their own lives and since their families were part of the rich circle of Robinson, nobody ever wondered how five young girls ended up owning a big company as Glow tech.
Jay was actually the leader, despite being the youngest of the five. She was capable and the most cruel at times. As said earlier, she loved in very strange ways and her level of hate was also to another level. However, putting all of these aside. She was a great person, hated by outsiders who knew nothing about her and adored by those who knew her. And she could be childish at times.
Jay
Those who can't take criticism don't deserve to be in the business world.
Sam
Then you don't deserve it.
Jay
He talked about manners. That has nothing to do with business.
Jay
*nods* He's not my father.
Jay
He has no right to talk about manners to me.
Ash
*mutters* Now I know why he got punched.
Nick
*to jay* do you need to take everything personally?
Jazzy
*interrupts* Alright, that's enough people.
Jazzy
We are not here to discuss manners and insults, can we get to the point?
Ash
Thank you sweetheart. I was wondering when it would be over.
Jay
*rolls her eyes* Can't we eat first?
Behind the scene
Suddenly darkness fills the room and a screen is projected in front of the girls. On the screen is a picture of a man in his middle fifties.
Jay
This is Frederick Jones, a business man and owner of the J resort that is on his private Island.
Jay
Four days from now he's going to hold an auction in one of his private auction house which is also located on the island
She flips the remote and the image changes.
Jay
*rubs her forehead* ......
Ash
*mutters* the ....hole.
Jay
....is Adam Rodwell. A businessman in disguise, high class thief...whose gang we've been chasing for two years now. Adam and his three brothers have caused a lot of trouble not only in this country but internationally too. As much as we know where his home is, nobody has ever found any tangible evidence that his family is the one behind all the trouble.
Jay
So far we are the only ones who know that he's the A. behind the grand bank robberies.....(sighs) and they say It's not enough because he's a respectable motherf.....
They all could tell that she was getting angry every second she spoke. They had dealt with the Rodwell brothers' case to the point that it was getting personal. The most painful thing was that no matter what strong evidence they brought on the table, the high seats of the government in the security sector always found an excuse to make them start all over again, and it made Jay so angry.
The Rodwell brothers were one of the wealthy people in Robinson city. They owned a casino and had a chain of hotels in the city and outside. They had so much that it was impossible for people to believe that they were indeed thieves. And another thing that put them on a clean slate was that they donated every year to three of Robinson's orphanages. So many people loved them.
However, the girls had found out that the Rodwell brothers did not steal because they lacked anything, no. In fact the items they stole were always rare. They were after only priceless items Old paintings, antiques and artifacts. They were always up for a challenge, going after something that they knew would be under tight surveillance. It was like their way of laughing at them.
Sam
You can skip the details.
Ash
Yeah, hearing about them makes my blood boil.
Jay
*relief* Fine, I was not enjoying it either.
Jay
We've been assigned a task to go on the island and make sure no one causes any mischief.
Jay
Our top priority is to prevent potential chaos orchestrated by the Rodwell brothers. As we all know, they've targeted Mr Jones for quite a number of times and there is no doubt they will definitely show up this time.
Jay
And since they know that there are some old stuff to be auctioned there, they will definitely show up.
Jay
We won't be alone on the island, there will be some law enforcers in disguise just to make sure the whole event goes well, and I've made it clear that nobody gets in our way.
Jazzy
Any Sparks agent we should be aware of?
Jay
*shakes her head* none. We will be the only ones so far.
Jay
We have only until tomorrow to prepare.
Jay
*turns to Sam.* I will leave the planning to you. You know what to do.
Sam immediately took out her tab and started working. Among the five, she was the one who always had a lot to do. She had to map out the Island, mark all possible entries and exits, and find all the information about the auction too. That was why she was the best.
Jay
Nick, we will leave the gadgets and weapons to you. You know the rest, I really don't have to tell you to hack into......
Nick
😒😒 Alright, that's enough.
Jay
Jazzy, you sweetheart. Need to make sure that no one recognizes us. You're in charge of disguises.
Jay
No masks, this time we only need change in hair color, clothe and style. Eye contacts maybe.....whatever you think will work.
Jazzy
*smirks* gotcha, baby.
Jay
Your job will start once we are on the island. You're to interact with different people and observe if there's anything strange.
Ash
*gleefully* Aye captain.
Jay
But, as of now you will help Sam with finding information about the auction. Get me a list of participants and the items being sold off by 4pm tomorrow.
Ash
*frowns* come on, that's half her job.
Jay
*serious* Do you want to do all of it?
Jay
*dismissive* No excuses. By four pm we must have all info. We will leave at Six pm for the island.
Jay
Oh, and I'll look into every law enforcer sent on the field.
Jay
I'll take that as a no.
The Rodwells
Inside the Rodwell's manor.
Adam and his brothers had been rescued by old Mr Rodwells who was one of the richest men in Robinson. The four brothers had run away from home after Adam had killed his abusive father accidentally with a rod when he was trying to stop him from beating Jake. When Mr Rodwells had taken them in, he did his best to teach them everything he knew, which included the life of thieves.
Adam sat behind the desk inside his study and silently listened to the invitation letter that his younger brother Leon had brought in from the mail. His other two brothers, Jacob and Maximilian sat quietly as well on the sofa both taking in the news.
Leon
*reading* Dear Mr Rodwell.
Leon
You've been invited to the high stakes artifacts auction taking place on Mr Frederick Jones private Island.
Leon
Your presence will be highly appreciated.
Leon
*looks up animated* Big brother, this is the chance we've been waiting for. We can finally get the safe.
Leon was the youngest, he appeared as naive in front of people. But behind the scenes, he was a sharp man driven by the zeal to get it done.
Jake
I think this a grand opportunity, it has been presented to us on a silver platter.
Jake
And we won't struggle at all.
Jacob, was second from the youngest born of the Rodwells. Unlike his brothers, he loved a life of luxury and parties. Amongst the four, he was the most lively and most loved by the girls because of his striking good looks and style. And he was no different behind the scene, his good humor still played even during heists
Max
It's not a bad idea, but it won't be easy. Am sure Jones would not invite half of Robinson on his private Island without measures.
Max
He must have the whole R squad on the Island.
Maximilian, the second born of the Rodwell family. This one was a wiry and agile man with dark piercing eyes, he was the complete opposite of Jacob when it came to lifestyle and personality. Max, was quiet but had speed and precision during heists. He was known to society as the most noble of the Rodwells.
All of them relied on the family business, and the heists. They had no personal jobs and it was only Adam and Max who handled the family business while the younger ones especially Jake, liked to party and gamble. As for Leon, he spent his days behind the computer doing god knows what.
Leon
Exactly, which brings out more of the fun.
Max
Don't be ridiculous, we haven't operated for almost a year. We don't know what's out there.
Leon
*excited* relax, I've got us covered.
Leon
I heard about this a couple of days back......
Jake looked at Leon surprised. It occurred to him that Leon was always ahead of the public news. He seemed to know things before news reporters. But the truth of the matter was that, Leon lived for what they did behind their public lives, which made him focus more on getting information that was useful.
Jake
Didn't the news only broke this morning?
Leon
*scoffs* Not on the dark web.
Jake
*less interest* Ah, that.
Leon
.... I've already went through the invitation list, it seems like we are going to have a couple of friends there.
Leon
*smiles* Including special agent James.
Special agent Ivan James was one of the government agents that had been on their tail for So long. Aside from Sparks agents which the Brothers knew nothing of their identities, Agent James was the only government agent that was close to identifying who they really were. so he was a big threat.
Leon
*nods* He didn't even bother to use a disguise.
Jake
*looks at Adam* What do you think?
Adam rubbed his beard, being the oldest of the four he needed to be careful despite how much fun they always had. He used every chance he could get to be strict just to keep his adoptive father's legacy. Which meant that, sometimes, he had to let a chance slip if he so it fit.
Adam
*sighs* We should sit this one out.
Adam
I'm serious, we've been invited. We can't mess up.
His deep voice exuded a tone of command without meaning to. A tone he only used at times like these, he figured it was the only way to make them understand. If they were going to be exposed, then a lot would be at stake. First his business then the legacy that was left to them by the man who gave them a second chance to life. He could not risk it.
Leon
*eager* We won't mess up, I've done thorough search and planned well too.
Adam
*looks at Leon* And I don't doubt you for a second.
Adam
But this is a trap...practically not by Jones himself but someone else.
Adam
*nods* Until we find out who their secret agents are, we cannot do anything.
Leon
*pouts* That's unfair.
Leon
*lightens up* What if I find them for you....
Max
Stop, Leo. Don't forget, James will be there too, we can't underestimate him. And we leave tomorrow, you don't have enough time.
Leon
*pouts* but I've already sampled out possible candidates, let me work on those first.
Jake
Stop torturing yourself, little bro.
Jake
I'm going to the casino tonight. why don't you tag along, we can have some fun.
Leon
*uninterested* No thanks, I hate that place.
Jake
*sarcastic* How is he part of the family?
Adam
*sighs* This will be a chance for many others to enter Jones lair, it will be a fight to the end.
Adam stayed silent for a moment looking at his brothers.
Adam
If you're so eager to do something......
Adam
I can give it to you.
Adam
Map out the entire Island, entries to exits. Use this visit to get as much information about the area as possible.
Adam
*smirks* Then after the auction.....we can come again for the safe.
Max
*shrugs* Good plan, but won't it be gone already. After all, there will be so many people trying to get it this time.
Adam
Let me assure you that no one will be able to get to that safe during this period of the auction.
Adam signalled for Leon to give him his tablet. Leon did and Adam went through the invitation list.
Adam
Half of this list are Robinson's wealthy people. They will not come alone, each of them has gland security and that combined with the governments and Jones own security, no amateur thief can get through.
Adam
It will take three times the men and technology skills to break through this security measure. Which means, it would take us, a month or so to prepare for such a heist.
Leon
*groans* I had it all planned out.
Jake
*puts his arm around Leon* I've changed my mind, why don't we go to the Club and wash away your sorrows?
Max
*stands up* Then we've agreed to sit this one out.
Jake
*follows suit* Yes, sir.
Max
*pats Leon's back* Chill, little bro. Next time.
He snatched his tablet from Adam and stormed out. Jake chuckled amd followed behind him.
Jake
*grin* Don't worry, I'll help him get over it.
With that he left the two elders alone.
Max
*rubs his nose* You won't like it though.
Adam
Don't tell me it has something to do with Glow tech.
Adam
*sighs* What is it this time?
Max
Remember there was a competitors meeting this afternoon?
Max
Well, Glow's CEO began with verbally insulting the MD of cross tech before she finished with a punch which actually removed a tooth.
Adam knew Jessica as Glow tech founder and CEO, and she was not in his like list. He had to admit that it was impressive to see a young woman in her early twenties like her shoulder such a big company. But he would also not deny the fact that she was rude and lacked some formality.
Most people said she took it from her father, who was the older version of her.
Adam
*winces* That girl.....
Adam
As long as she did not touch my people, I will not do anything to her.
Max
*cautiously* But we must be careful. despite the fact that she uses violence, her products and services are good and a lot of people wants to work with her.
Adam
*clenches his fists* that......
