Taylor and Briana were busy down below so they didn’t notice a group of people entering their room the moment the two of them came out. Meanwhile, Lace is doing her best to protect Nathanya. When the group of people started attacking them, she used her method one is to five to kill them. After the first batch were all killed, another batch came in. Lace tries her best to protect Nathanya. She was slightly injured because a small dagger accidentally stabbed her shoulder. "Ate Lace, you're bleeding." Nathanya pointed out and grabbed a piece of cloth to cover it and stop the bleeding. "Don't mind me. Just stay behind me." Lace answered. "Look who's acting like a hero. Give her a round of applause." A lady's voice suddenly said. She walked in and the tip of her sword was gliding on the floor. "Lalaine?" Lace asked and the lady laughed. "Yes! It's me. The one and only Lalaine Perez." She answered. "Well if you are curious about how I survived, let me summarize it for you. If not for the aid of a wonderful someone who gave me the antidote of the poison given to me by your beloved leader, I would've been a rotten corpse now and the death of my brother will never be justified. That's enough! Go grab them!" Lalaine ordered and another batch of armed men surged in. Lace was able to fight them if not for the electricity that flowed throughout her body. She fell on the floor unconscious. Meanwhile, the scenario downstairs had been settled. Briana and Taylor immediately run up to their room only to find a mountain of corpses and a pool of human blood inside. "We've fallen for their trap!" Briana exclaimed after discovering that Lace and Nathanya were taken away. Taylor's face turned red due to anger and kicked the door. Briana noticed something on the corpses. They all have a common thing in them. She decided to call Drake and Trix over and calm Taylor down at the same time. "We're on our way." Trix answered after being told to go there. "Calm down okay? Lace is with her. She will not allow anything bad to happen to Nathanya." Briana tried to calm her down. "Do you think I am only worried about Nathanya? What I worry more about is Lace. She can fight. So they'll surely play with her first. Damn it!" Taylor exclaimed and the door that was kicked by her opened. Drake and Trix arrived. "What happened here?!" Drake asked after seeing the bizarre scene inside the room. "A group of bullshits came in and we’ve fallen for their trap. They have taken Lace and Nathanya away." Briana answered her while Trix squatted down, as if he recognized something. "These people. They all have the same snake pattern on them. Some were on their bracelets, some were on their rings and necklaces. I have seen this pattern before." Trix said. Drake squatted down too to check and he suddenly figured out that he also had seen this snake pattern on someone. "Isn't this snake pattern only given to the members of Black Pelicans unit? I can clearly remember that Claude had this snake pattern as a tattoo." Drake informed them. Hearing this, Trix suddenly figured out something. "Give me a piece of paper. And a pen." He said and Briana gave them to him. Then he wrote the name Clark Auden Smith on it. "What's the connection of this person to Claude?" Briana asked. "If you combine the first two letters of the first name which are C and L, and the four letters of the second name which are A,U,D,E, you will be able to form the name of Claude." He explained. "That's why it's familiar to me. We were once asked by Mr. Demethry to steal some information about a person and Claude used that name as a recipient. Maybe because he knows that there is no information about that name that will be exposed." He added. "That two faced bastard!" Taylor exclaimed and punched the mirror she's facing now. "Calm down, will you? Your anger will not resolve anything. For now, let's try looking for other clues while waiting for the enemies to call us." Drake said. Briana was still silent, as if she's trying to figure out something. "If Clark Auden Smith is indeed the real name of Claude, then, why was his surname Smith instead of Peterson?" She asked. Trix thought about it for a while. "Maybe the surname Peterson is the surname of one of his relatives. Or maybe his mother." He answered. "Just don't let me see him. I will behead him. Both his head on the top and the one below." Taylor suddenly said. Drake and Trix went pale upon understanding what she meant by “both his head on the top and the one below”.
"Good job! I really loved and appreciated your efforts. This is a job well done." A man said. Then he touched the face of Nathanya. "You bastard!! Move your dirty hands off her! Shameless!" Lace exclaimed but she can't do anything since she's tied. A slap landed on her face that caused some blood to come out of her mouth. "Be quiet will you? I just want to play with this baby of yours. No need to be worried. I know how to play with weaklings like her." The man said and continued touching Nathanya's face. "I said put your hands off her! Just don't let me loosen these knots. I will break all your bones!" Lace warned them again. Everyone just laughed, seeing how ridiculous her threats were. Meanwhile, Briana and Drake were working on a plan while Taylor and Trix kept pacing around. "The two of you. Can you please stop walking around and take your seats? You're distracting us!" Briana finally said. Taylor and Trix stopped walking and took their seats. "So here's the plan. I'll sneak into the Black Pelicans' den tomorrow. I'll see what information I can get through that. Then, Briana will cause a commotion and the two of you will grab anyone you think is useful and is a good singer." Drake said as he pointed out each other's job. They have never seen Taylor calm ever since Lace and Nathanya were kidnapped.
"Don't they ever let me see them all. I'll bring the disaster they will never ever forget. Especially that Claude. I'll skin him alive and mince his heart." Taylor threatened. "Achoo!" Claude suddenly sneezed. "Seems like someone's cursing me." He said and wiped his nose.
