"No, no, no, no, this cannot be!" Arthur Griffin held the phone up to his ear and spoke frantically. His voice was heard throughout the huge mansion that was his home. This got the attention of his daughter, and as curious as she was, she stood besides the door to his office and listened to his argument on the phone with one of his agents. "He has failed me" He shook his head and sighed in defeat. "He has no longer my trust. We'll have to go with another plan" He put down the phone and began to scribble a few words on a piece of paper.

After a while of writing on the paper, he took the phone from the counter and made another call. "Meet me at the office" He said and hung up. He rose from his desk and walked out the door. Mercedes walked casually the other way, and thank goodness he did not notice her, he walked down the stairs and into the living room. Mercedes stood dumbfounded at his words. "What is this plan he's talking about? And who failed him?" She wondered. "Carlos?" She whispered aloud. Without thinking it another time, she followed him. He walked over to his other office, where there was a long, wooden table, enough for 20 people to sit. He sat at the end of the table and used an iPad as he waited for someone.

She could hear people chatting as they got closer to the room. She hid under the table before anybody noticed (her dad was too distracted with the iPad). Everybody began settling down on different chairs as Griffin stood up. They all seemed to be business people since they wore tuxedos. They all stayed silent and stared at Griffin who stood smirking. "Hello, thank you all for being here" He spoke.

"I have invited you all here to inform you about the incarceration of Carlos Garcia." Glares were exchanged. "He has failed us, especially me of all people. He was supposed to complete a mission and he did not, which means we will have to put in progress plan b" He stared at everybody in the table who had wide eyes. "I know it's very uncalled for, but its the only way we will get out of this terrible situation the company has been put to."

"Now, is there anybody against this action?" He asked looking around. Nobody spoke. "Very well, plan b will commence today so I want you" He pointed to the man who sat besides him. "to get three of our best men to do this job" The man nodded as he quickly grabbed his smartphone from his pocket and walked out of the room. "As for the rest of you, standby and await for my orders. That is all" He walked out of the office along with the group of people.

When the coast seemed to be clear, Mercedes crawled from under the desk and got to her feet. "This has to be bad..." She mumbled to herself as she watched from afar her father shook hands with a few of the men.
