D-Day
It was finally the day for the feathers Launch party. The feathers were getting ready for their big day and the justice team was planning on taking them down. The citizens were not happy about the Feathers launch party. Protests broke out in the country. In Langose, the people came out to protests against the feathers and the president. The people protested in front of STAND hospital and prays for Lisa's recovery. In Carbuja, the people protested in front of the purple house. They requested the impeachment of the president. It was a peaceful protest but the people vibrant about it. In mandoe, the circle community gathered some people and they protested across the state. It was as if the country was praying and waiting patiently for the feather's downfall.
With all that's were going on in the country, Daniel refused to postpone the launch date. He didn't care about what the people think. All he was after was making sure his long plan for the future came to pass

Kendra pulled up the black V dress she had been trying to fits into for hours but it didn't pass her waist length. She stared into the mirror and groaned out in frustration. She looked at the faces of the girls inside the room and glared at one of them.
"This dress isn't going to fit me. What were you thinking when you bought the dress, Celina?" Kendra whined as she tried to fits into her dress for the feathers launch party.
"I think you are making a mistake here," Celina pointed out. "That dress isn't for you. It's for me." She clicked her tongue.
"Your dress?" Kendra stared at the shining black dress she was trying to fits into." why do you have to get the prettiest dress? If this isn't mine then where is it?" She asked.
Celina walked over to the bed and took a white turtle neck and tight black trousers. She walked to where Kendra stood at the front of the mirror and handed it over to her. "What is this?" Kendra asked.
" well, this is your outfit for the party," Celina replied.
"Wow! I think your outfit is nice Kendra." Kemisola commented and clapped her hands.
" Are you crazy?" Kendra shouted at her and then turned to face Celina. "Why didn't I get a dress? Who ordered you to pick this dipshit outfit for me?"
At first, Celina didn't reply but when Kendra shouted at her, she quickly replied. " it was Jeremy's idea." She said.
"Jeremy!" Kendra screamed and rushed out of the room with the clothes in her hands and a tight black dress around her waist length.
Kendra walked into the living room where Jeremy had gathered with the guys. There were seven guys in the room. Three of them were from the circle community.
"Hi Kendra," it was Elijah who noticed Kendra first. He waved at her but she sneered at him.
"Hey Kendra," Yomi winked at her.
She ignored him and walked to where Jeremy sat. She dropped the clothes on the table opposite him. "Why the hell I'm not wearing a dress to the launch party? " she angrily asked.
"Kendra," Jeremy gently called her name. "We are in the middle of something. Can we discuss this later?" He politely requested.
"I am not going to wait Jeremy. I want a dress for the party, not this." She shouted again.
"But this is pretty," Yomi told her but she glared at him. "Sorry."
"Kendra," Jerry smiled at her. "You won't be able to wear a dress to the party because you and yomi are going to be in charge of the security." He told her.
"Really? I'm not going to the party but I am going to be in charge of the security. What the actual fuck?" Kendra cursed and walked away from the living room.
"She has terrible anger. I'll go talk to her." Yomi said and went after her.
Jeremy went back to what he was discussing with the men in the living room. Their words couldn't be heard as they communicate in low tones.

7:00 pm
It was time for the party and the justice was ready. They gathered in the living room dressed in different outfits. The only person who looks unhappy was Kendra who was dressed in a black jacket, white turtleneck, double circle belt, high-rise black skinny jeans, black heeled boots. Celina on the other hand was dressed in a silver late-night sequin body con dress.
"Stop frowning. Your face won't look pretty as before." Yomi told Kendra but she didn't reply to him instead she hissed and looked at Lara who was dressed as a waitress.
"At least I'm wearing something better," Kendra said to herself.
Everyone was fully dressed and ready for the party but the only person missing was Jeremy. He hasn't come out yet and the team was waiting for him.
"Why is he taking too long?" Mary impatiently asked.
Nobody replied to her as their eyes were fixed on Jeremy as he walked into the living room. He was dressed in a black sequin off-shoulder long sleeve. The makeup on his face made him look like a female. Thanks to Celina's hard work, it was hard to tell if he was a male or not.
"Hello everyone," he announced in his presence. "I'm Becca." He said with a smile.
Kendra scoffed and shook her hand. "Even with all the makeups on, you look stupid." She commented.
"I think you look great," Kemisola said and gave Jeremy a thumb up.
"Thank you." Jeremy flipped his black bone straight hair to his left side. "Before we go. I want us to know that no matter what happens today, we need to bring down the feathers." He said. "We need to show the world who they are. We need the world to know that they are not what they claim to be. We need to bring them down." He shouted.
"Yes," they all chorused.
"So since we are going along with the plan Becca, I think we all know the arrangement." He said and they all gave him a nod. "Let's roll." He said.

The 102 floors skyscraper built by the feathers was a beautiful sight to behold. It was so high that the Elites and influential people who came for the party stared at it for a while before going inside. The lights in the building gave it a beautiful sight as everywhere was brighten up by the white light.
The feathers all arrived at once but in different cars. Daniel came out of his white Venza with a smile on his face. He was dressed in a red tuxedo and a black Louis Vuitton shoe. The bandage on his head was gone but his left eye was still plastered. Daniel waved at the camera as he walked down the red carpet. There were too many reporters there and Daniel couldn't help but blink at the camera's light. It was too light for his sight to take.
Simone and Alissa held each other's hands as they walked down the red carpet. Simone wore a sleeveless white mermaid dress with red heels while Alissa wore a blue sequin dress and a pair of black heels. They both smiled at the Camera and headed inside the building.
Leonard, Munachi, and park all walked down the red carpet together. Park had two women by his side. He wore a black Gucci suit and a flirty smile. Munachi and Leonard both wore matching outfits but the only differences were the color of their suits. Munachi wore a blue tuxedo while Leonard wore a black one. They all walked into the Skyscraper after taking their time on the red carpet.
At the front door of the building, there were four hefty men armed with guns. They were all wearing shades so their faces couldn't be seen. Andre stood at the entrance with a tablet in his hand. He was duty was to get the name of anyone coming for the party before letting them in.
The justice team arrived as they had planned. Celina, Jeremy, and Paul arrived in a black limousine. Yomi and Kendra arrived in a different car but their car was parked few distances away from the building. Lara, James, Mary, Kemisola, and two men from the circle community arrived in a large Food Van. The food truck was parked opposite the building beside another food truck that looks the same as theirs.
Inside the food truck, The two men from the circle community sat in front of Laptops awaiting Jeremy's order.
"Name!" Andre asked as Jeremy, Celina and Paul walked to the entrance.
"We are the Rosovick," Paul replied to him.
Andre looked at them suspiciously and then looked inside his tablet. He looked up again and glared at them. "There is no Rosovick here. Who are you?" He asked them and beckoned for two of the men to move closer to him. "State your business or you die," Andre said to them.
"What impudence?" Celina shouted and moved closer to Andre." how dare you to question the Rosovick family? 50% of this property belongs to us." She shouted in a fake Russian accent.
Andre got closer to her and raised his hand to strike her but it was Bought down by Paul.
"You want to hit my wife?" Paul asked him. He squeezed his hand and glared at home.?
"That's enough," Jeremy shouted like a girl. "That's enough brother," Jeremy said to Paul. "Please tell Daniel Hamilton that the anonymous investor is here for his party." He told him.
Andre looked at him and gave her a suspicious look.
"Please," Jeremy requested politely.
Andre beckoned to one of the men and they spoke in low tones. The man went inside the building and soon, he returned with Daniel.
"What's going on?" Daniel angrily asked Andre.
"Greetings Mr. Hamilton." Paul bowed his head. "We are the Rosovick's and we are here for the party."
Daniel gave them a weird look and shook his head in confusion. "I'm sorry but I don't know any Rosovick. If you'll please I'll like to go back to my guest." He said and turned to leave.
"$150 million," Jeremy said and Daniel turned to face him. "We are the investors." He said sweetly.
"What? You are the investors?" Daniel asked and quickly moved closer to them. "Welcome, welcome. Please come." He said to them.
The three of them bow and walked into the building.
Back in the food Van, an alert came on the Laptop. "They are in," James announced to the team.
"Let's get started then. Invisible Bluetooth Everyone," she told them. Soon every one of them placed the invisible Bluetooth into the ears. It was called the invisible Bluetooth because of how tiny and unnoticeable it looks. "Kendra, Yomi, can you hear me?" Lara place her hand on her ear and called Kendra's attention.
"We can hear you perfectly," Kendra replied from inside the car where she sat down with Yomi. "Are they in?" She asked.
"Yes, they are. Proceed." Lara requested.
"Alright." Yomi came out of the car and looked around him.
Kendra stretched her body as she came out of the car. "Mehn, I am tired." She complained and continue to stretch her body.
"We haven't even started anything yet," Yomi said to her.
"I'm not allowed to complain anymore. " Kendra scoffed and carry a bag from the car. She placed it on her back and walked away from Yomi.
"Wait for me. We are in this together." Yomi ran to catch up with her.
Daniel leads Jeremy, Paul, and Celina into the building and explained everything along the way. From the entrance down to the hall where the party was holding, it was a beautiful sight to behold. The white light from the entrance brighten up everywhere and when they got to the hall, Jeremy was amazed that the feathers had spent a lot of money on the project. The hall was gigantic, it could accommodate thousands of people. It was decorated in white and gold and chandeliers were hung at the center of each table. Daniel leads them to the table that was beside the feathers.
"This way, please. Have a seat." He said to them.
"Thank you, MR Hamilton," Jeremy said to him. "You have done a great job. This place is beautiful." He commented.
"Thank you, miss."
"Call me Becca." He told them.
"Alright. Thanks for coming. Permit me to join my friends." He said to them and they bow to him.
When Daniel got back to his seat, it was Alissa who first questioned him.
"Who are they? They seem special." Alissa questioned and looked at Jeremy.
"They are the Rosovicks." He explained to them.
"What Rosovicks?" Simone asked him.
"$150 million. They invested into the project." Daniel explained to them all.
"What are they doing here? Are they here to claim a share?" Park asked Daniel.
"I think so. If that's their plan, I'll just get rid of them." Daniel said.
"Let's wait and see what they are here for," Alissa told them.
"Are we in yet?" Lara asked the two men that were sitting in front of the laptop. The men were typing furiously on the laptops and all they could do was nod at Lara.
"We are in." One of them announced and pointed to the video showing the hall.
"Good. Guys, we have breached their security system." Lara announced to them with her hand pressed on the Bluetooth in her ear.
"Copy that," Kendra replied. "What's next?" She asked.
"It's up to you two to get to the control room and do what you are assigned to do." Lara reminded her.
"I know. " Kendra answered back.
"Let's do this," James encouraged over the Bluetooth device.
"Yes," Kemisola added.
