Third Person's POV:
After the Parker couple arrived the atmosphere became very lively. All of them were happily chatting and laughing with each other and playing with Milo. As dinner time arrived the maid came and informed them that the dinner was ready and they moved to the dining table. After eating their fill they went back to the living room.
"Why don't we watch a movie?" Matteo suggested.
"Okay." All of them agreed. They went to watch the movie in the theatre room. Benjamin went to the kitchen and made some popcorn and brought other snacks also. All of them were enjoying the movie when Leonardo's phone rang. He quickly muted it and went outside to attend the call. It was from Asher. He is a hacker of the Romano mafia. He is the second best mafia in the world and he works for them.
"What is it?"
"I have some lead on Andrey. I found the location of his hidden mansion but I don't know if he is there or not."
"Hmm. Send me the location and keep checking."
"Ok. If we knew A then we wouldn't have this problem. They are the best at this."
"There is still no lead regarding them?"
"No. They are the best in this and I can't crack the codes regarding them. I even don't know if they are male or female, what is their name or anything."
"Ok, keep trying. We will know when the time is right."
Leonardo hung up the phone and sent a text to Antonio telling him about the location. Antonio glanced at his mobile and quickly came out to meet with him.
"What should we do Antonio? Should we go to the location? What if it's a trap?" Leonardo asked him.
"It could be but we still have to check it in case he is there." Antonio said. Leonardo nodded. He also felt like they should check it out.
"Then we will send a team there and I will personally go with them." Leonardo said.
"Ok. Then you have to be careful." Antonio said.
"Don't worry. I will be fine. Let's go back otherwise Ariana will say that where we have gone." Antonio chuckled.
"We have to tell her soon." Antonio said to Leonardo. They went back to watch the movie.
The movie ended and they all went back to sleep. As it was getting late, the Parker couple stayed in the Romano mansion as Gabriel insisted.

Morning:🌅
Everyone got ready and went to have breakfast. Leonardo was going with the team to the location sent by Asher today. He has to confirm if Andrey is at that location or not. It is very crucial for them to know about him. They have to take revenge for the numerous times he has inflicted them the pain. They won't leave him. All of them were at the table waiting for Ariana to arrive also. The Parker couple was also there for breakfast. They will leave immediately for their college after breakfast. Ariana also arrived there.
"Good morning everyone." Good morning Ari." Everyone greeted her and they had their breakfast.
"I am going to Russia for a business meeting today." Leonardo spoke so that everyone knew about it.
"When will you come fratello?" Matteo asked him.
"I don't know. It will take some time. I think I will be able to come in a week maximum." Leonardo replied.
"Then come back soon fratello. When is your flight?" Ariana asked.
"I will leave after breakfast. Everything is prepared already." He replied. Everyone nodded. After finishing breakfast everyone went to their respective destination.

Ariana's POV:
We arrived at school. I went to my classes as usual. Nothing exciting happened. Then I came by Elijah and he was still acting weirdly. I don't know what has happened to him recently but I will not ask him as he previously didn't appreciate it also we are not that close yet. We don't even know everything about each other. Maybe that's why he is hesitating to speak with me. I don't know anymore.
"Hey Elijah. How are you?" I asked him because I can't control myself and pretend like I don't care about him. That's not me. He glanced at me and nodded.
"Hello Ariana. I am fine. What about you?"
"I am also good. So what have you been doing these days?"
"Nothing much. I have something to do so I will go. Bye." He said and walked very fast as if he was trying to escape from something. I shook my head and went on with my classes.
******
We arrived home. I went to my room and after freshening up, I finished my homework first. I have to go to practise my shooting today. I have improved so much these days. I think I can be a professional shooter soon. Sigh! I wish that Ezra was here with me to see my progress. He taught me so much. All I know is because of him. I got ready and went downstairs and told a maid that I am going out and inform anyone who asks about me. I went to our garage, got into my car and drove to the shooting range.
There I practised my shooting skills. After my time was up I went outside and saw someone familiar that I didn't expect to see. I was shocked. What was he doing here?
What was he doing here? I didn't even know that he could shoot but it was very shocking. What should I do? Should I go there? But what if asked me what I was doing here? Then what will I say? I can't say that I know how to shoot. It's not the right time.
Yes I will tell him this. Let's see how this goes.

Third Person's POV:
Leonard set off for the airport. He was going to Russia in Romano's private jet. He had a team full of trained and skilled individuals. They were trained for all the situations that may arise. Asher was also with them as he can hack and he will be very helpful in decoding the traps, locks and surveillance cameras. They would reach by evening as the flight took 10 hours to reach.
Leonardo was working on his laptop and talking to his connections that may help them in Russia to fight off Andrey and his mafia. They were going in a completely unknown territory and they might be at a disadvantage so they have to have as many connections and men as possible. It could be a very dangerous mission and they all know it. It could be a trap carefully planned for them to be captured so they have to be very vigilant.
Leonardo has found Andrey's enemies and he was working with them to find out about the location discovered by Asher. They say that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. So why not take advantage of this. Anyways he had investigated them carefully and found no problem with them.
"Hey Leonardo. What are you doing?" Asher asked Leonardo. Although they have a boss and subordinate relationship they have known each other since childhood. They can be said to be childhood friends. They have completed their studies together. That's why Asher called Leonardo when he found the location of a possible hideout of Andrey.
"I am communicating with our connection in Russia. S that they can provide us with help when we need it and you know that we need it." Leonardo replied. Asher nodded. He also knew that this mission was very dangerous but equally critical.
"It would be so much better if only we knew 'A'." Asher lamented.
It would have been so much easier if they had the best hacker in the world but, sigh! They don't even know anything about them let alone working with them. 'A' has always been working alone. They only take the work that they like. No one can buy their service. No one even knows if they are male or female. They emerged 4 years ago. They have always been working for the good. They would always take the most difficult case and solve it with ease with their hacking ability and only leave behind their initial 'A' nothing else. Anyways if fate wants them to meet then they will meet.
"Who do you think it can be? Male or female?" Asher asked curiously.
"I don't know. Let me do my work. You should also prepare for it." Leonardo said impatiently. Asher grumbled and went away from there. He knew the anger of the Romano brothers. If he saw them with Ariana then he would no doubt faint from the shock.

Back to the shooting range:
Ariana's POV:
I went up to him and patted him on the shoulder. He turned around and was shocked to see me there. Believe me you are not the only one buddy I was also equally shocked to see you here.
"What are you doing here fratello?"
"What are you doing here Ana?"
We asked at the same time. Yes it was none other than my Ben fratello.
"I was across the street at that boutique when I saw you going in here so I came. You know how to shoot?" I asked him.
"Yes. I know shooting. So I come here when I have time to practise." He replied. As expected. He knows shooting, so I have to search for another place to practise. Otherwise I will be exposed one day and I don't want them to find out like this.
"Wow. Really? Then do only you know or others also know how to shoot?" I asked curiously.
"They do except Matteo." He replied hesitantly. I nodded.
"Then go on. I will not interrupt you anymore."
"Ok. Then go home and message me when you reach home." He said and I nodded. I went away from there and came home. It was already evening. Upon reaching home I sent a message to Ben fratello to let him know that I had reached home safely. He replied that he will come soon also.
I saw that papa was already home and twinnie was also there with him. Tony fratello will come late today because he has to cover all the work of Leo fratello also. Raf fratello was also at home. He will start going to the hospital tomorrow. Alf fratello will come in some time as he has a meeting with a client.
"Hey everyone." I said cheerfully. They also smiled at me and waved me to sit. I went to sit beside papa. He smiled at me affectionately.
"Today I learned something interesting." I said to them.
"What is it?" Papa asked me. Everyone was also looking at me intrigued.
"I went to a boutique and there was this shooting range. I met fratello." I said. "Can you guess who it was?"
"Benjamin." Raf fratello said.
"How did you know?" I pouted. He didn't even try to guess it. He spoiled the fun of it.
"Because only he goes to practise shooting." He chuckled at my pout. I humphed. Others also laughed with him. Just then Alf fratello also came there.
"What are you guys laughing about?" He asked.
"Just that our sister is very cute." Raf fratello said teasingly. I glared at him and he raised his hands in mock surrender. Alf fratello was confused.
"Yes I know that but what exactly happened?" He asked. Then twinnie told him everything. He also chuckled.
"It was easy for him to guess that. Although we all know how to shoot, only he goes to the shooting range." Alf fratello said.
"Why is that fratello?" I asked him.
"Because he loves shooting." I nodded. That makes sense. We chatted for some time and then Ben fratello and Tony fratello came. We then went to have dinner. After dinner we went to sleep.

Third Person's POV:
Leonardo and his team reached Russia in the evening. They went straight to their connection's base. His name was Dante Russo. He was also from mafia business and he was the rival of Andrey but he never did anything sordid like Andrey did. He was clean just like the Romano mafia. He wanted to eliminate Andrey so that the crime rate could go down and they could live a better life.
"Hello Leonardo. Welcome to Russia."
