The drunkenness was in full swing. Vincent played his charm with the woman with the diamonds. But when she slipped her hand into his crotch, Vincent almost broke her wrist, but he stopped himself just in time. He grabbed her hand to kiss her. Then he saw Jeanne get up and walk towards a man. Ellie signaled him not to intervene.

 GF stood facing Jeanne. He whispered in her ear and slipped his hand on her buttocks.

 -What if we ripped off this dress? 

Jeanne cracked a smile. He dragged him right behind, two bodyguards followed him. He opened a door. The guards stood on either side. GF signaled Jeanne to come inside. Jeanne didn't blink. She went first. GF closed the door behind him. 

-You will remember this night my pretty... 

Jeanne felt GF at her back and turned towards him. She put her hands on his neck and pinned him against a wall. She began to squeeze his throat, pinning his legs with a defensive hold. 

-Are you one of these? Still want to dominate the powerful man? Is that what excites you?

GF wanted to slide her tongue into his mouth but Jeanne turned her head and forcefully grabbed his testicles, which made GF laugh and scream. 

-Louder bitch! 

GF grabbed Jeanne's hand and crushed her hand even harder, then he dug his teeth into her throat, Jeanne screamed in pain. Someone knocked at the door. Huge blows were given, to the point of breaking her. GF was furious.

 -Get out!! Where I kill you myself son of a bitch!! 

But they weren't his guards. Ellie and Vincent had just entered. They had followed Jeanne. Ichiro and Joe had incapacitated the two guards. They had been thrown into the bedroom. In front of the door, Ichiro and Joe had taken their places. The door had closed. GF didn't understand. He had released his grip on Jeanne. She took advantage of it. She had just unpinned a syringe that she had attached to her leg. 

-Do you want to taste something really stronger darling? 

Then in a quick gesture, she stuck the needle in his neck.GF took a step back with her hand on her throat. He pulled out the needle. He wanted to throw himself at Jeanne with anger. But Vincent grabbed him by the shoulders and threw him to the ground. GF was choking on the ground. Vincent came to stand behind him, his eyes full of hatred. He slowly put his arm around her neck and began to squeeze tighter and tighter. GF tried to struggle to tear Vincent's hands away, but he couldn't. The product was starting to take effect, he was starting to see blurry and felt all the strength leaving him. Vincent let go of her. GF fell to the ground. Vincent brought a chair over and threw him on it, tied his hands and put a gun to his head. 

-Good... now that you have calmed down... You will answer our questions. 

GF didn't move her eyes were blank. 

- You need help?

Ellie came to inject him a second needle, this time in his leg. Under the influence of adrenaline GF jumped suddenly, but he was blocked by his hands, he had jumped so hard that his shoulder was dislocated. He collapsed again from shock. 

-If you are good, I will put it back in place... In the meantime, to keep you calm, I will place this little bomb on your neck. Look, she's stuck like that... 

GF gritted his teeth. Ellie had just planted a microchip in his neck. GF wanted to struggle. But Jeanne advised him against it. The chip was ringing.

-You see, it's attached to your skin. She reacts to movements, if you move too much she will explode your head. You better answer our questions calmly. 

The chip had just stopped. GF still had his head down. He started laughing, a sick laugh, which echoed in the room. He raised his head. 

-Finally a little action... I was starting to get bored...

Vincent, Ellie and Jeanne surrounded GF. Jeanne began to lose patience.

-You know who I am? 

-A whore? 

Vincent wanted to hit him but Ellie stopped him by showing him the chip.

 -Not yet... soon... 

Vincent released his hand. 

-X... what can you tell me about him... 

GF raised his head slowly. He seemed interested. 

-So many things... that you could never sleep again darling...

 -I'm taking the risk... replied Jeanne

 -Are you the one who eliminated H.L?

-News travels quickly... a friend of yours? 

GF laughed. He was sweating. The mixture of the two products took effect. He was hovering. 

-H.L... He only fell because X decided to... He gets bored quickly... And you're his toy... He sent you to kill his puppy... and he must have taken pleasure in seeing you do... Because X sees everything... knows everything... and if you are here... it's also thanks to him... Who do you think brought you here?

GF was laughing alone. Vincent and Jeanne looked at each other. He continued. 

-X... is the worst of all... the most powerful, the most cruel... everyone fears him... What do you want from him? Who are you...? 

Jeanne did not answer. 

-Are you his daughter? 

Jeanne gritted her teeth. 

-Where is he?

-He is everywhere... 

-Give me an answer that I like, I won't blow your head off... and your conscience will be a little lighter... 

GF laughed lightly. 

-My conscience... 

GF's head rolled back, the chip rang again. GF came back to them. 

-I'm not that afraid of him... maybe I should, but I'm doing him too much of a favor... I want to tell you one thing... just for the pleasure of spreading even more chaos... and watching you kill each other...

Jeanne came closer.

-Look for the Socle Organization.

 -Who is that? 

Neither Vincent, Ellie or Jeanne had ever heard of it. 

-They will take you to him... unless he finds you first... 

-Where can I find them? Jeanne screamed at him

But GF was too high.

 -I knew Paul... 

Jeanne stood up. 

-Paul... he was sixteen when you found him dead with slashed wrists... 

-Who told you that... 

-...Then your father died in a bombing, wars broke out... you inherited... 

-Who told you that!! 

-Everything went so well... you thought you were free from him... until H.L... Oh... Jeanne... we can't escape X... 

Jeanne was feverish. Vincent and Ellie watched the scene without knowing how to intervene.

-He's playing with you... He wants to let you do the dirty work... He broke you from the inside... He wants to haunt you forever... you work for him Jeanne... you kill for him... you are and always will be his thing... 

He stood up suddenly. The chip emitted a high-pitched, powerful sound. Then exploded all at once. His head was pulverized. Ichiro and Joe entered the room without understanding what had happened. Their ears were ringing, they were covered in blood. Vincent grabbed Jeanne by the arm and asked her to put her mask back on. 

They had to flee, quickly. Joe blocked the door. It wasn't supposed to happen like this. The plan no longer held. They had to react quickly.They found themselves propelled back into the evening. No one seemed to have noticed them. But they couldn't stay. If anyone realized that GF was dead, everything was over.They had to initiate emergency extraction. Ichiro took care of it. 

They reached the elevator. They rushed in. Jeanne was trying to think quickly. What if the alarm had been given? Was security waiting for them once they got down there? They were not armed enough. They would be riddled with bullets. Jeanne met Vincent's gaze. 

-Block the elevator, bad feeling we continue on foot. 

Vincent did so. Everything happened very quickly. 

-We exit at the top. Ichiro, Joe once outside you know what to do. Where are they?

Ichiro looked at his phone.

 -Geolocation: 22 minutes... 

-We have to hold on... replied Ellie.

 -OK ! GO! We leave! 

Joe went out first through the ceiling hatch. He managed to open the door to the upper floor. Then he brought Jeanne out, then Ellie, then helped Vincent and Ichiro. They found themselves on floor 44. 

-We need to go to the 25th floor. NOW! 

They rushed down the stairs, weapons in hand. They didn't make a sound. Joe led the way. he signaled them not to make any noise. Jeanne threw away her shoes. They descended in the greatest calm. For now, they were lucky. It had to continue like this. 

-13 minutes... Ichiro was deeply focused 

They were all sweaty. Joe stopped them with a wave of his hand. He was standing in front of the door. They had arrived at the 25th floor. Ichiro faced Joe to secure the perimeter. Joe turned the handle. Then, Jeanne stopped him. She motioned for them to listen. And pointed to the bottom. A team was coming up. Ellie waved in turn. Up. Also. Another team was coming down.They all looked at each other.They had to get out as quickly as possible or they would find themselves stuck. 

Jeanne nodded to Joe, he put his hand back on the handle. Either they passed or they were all dead. Jeanne felt her heart hurt. She was starting to shake. Joe opened the door slowly. Ichiro didn't see anything. Apparently the way was clear. The door was open enough to begin the ex-filtration. Vincent went first, weapon in hand. Ichiro took second place. The hallway was secure. Jeanne placed herself between them. She alone did not have a weapon then Ellie and Joe came to consolidate the circle. 

-8 minutes... 

-Ichiro the next time you speak, it will be to give us good news... 

They froze. Vincent and Joe aimed for the elevators. Ellie and Ichiro secured the exit of the stairs. They found themselves stuck.
