The Secret War

Introduction
She stood with stiff muscles, the ocean air hitting their face with a ferocity that lifted her hair up and forced it into a passionate dance; twisting and curling until many strands, and the twigs and leaves clinging to them became one single being. The sound of a deep breath and a singular thought; It is finally over. But was it? Was it truly? For how could a company as powerful as the Anima Cordis Ltd. truly be gone?

---

Plot
For generations Anima Cordis Ltd had held the state of Nervada in a crunch hold. They were powerful, an elite company focusing on medical treatments with unethical testing protocols run by a family that had connections all over the world. That was until Libertas Bellatores; a ever-growing group of social justice warriors got in their way and made the company crumble into the ground but it isn't that easy. The Anima Cordis Ltd company members are living under cover but are still out there, and if they were willing to test on human beings before for profit then nothing will get in the way of them getting revenge on those who tried to leave them destitute.  However, the The Anima Cordis have no fear of fighting back.

This is war. Watch your back.

Nestled into the back booth of a mid-city coffee shop a man dressed in in clean-cut royal blue suit sat tapping the black contemporary style table in front of him with his nails. Honey brown eyes boring holes into the blonde teenager in front of him as she happily sipped at her drink.

"This isn't funny, Lei. You should be in school getting an education." The girl grumbled in a deep, mocking voice, taking a long sip of her coffee before saying in her own voice; "I know Cole but it is just so-" Swapping back; "I had to be pulled out of a very important meeting! Money doesnt just appear."

"Stop it." Colson demanded, tone controlled and firm; barely raising his voice over a whispered which made Leila's shoulders tense. Pushing a credit card over to her; "Go and get me a coffee. I've changed my mind."

"I- right.. fine." Leila huffed, picking the card up and heading to the line.

Thalia was walking down the street, her hood up despite the nice weather, she had a pair of headphones in and was heading towards the coffee shop. Her eyes darting around in anxiety to try and avoid everything and everyone. But somehow she still looked pretty out of place for someone on a nice day. As she got to the door she slid inside heading straight to the counter, head down trying not be obvious.

Shiloh meanwhile, dressed in a black shirt, suit and shoes was sitting in a far off table watching the world go by out of the window. A book sat in front of him untouched as he appeared to be daydreaming only glancing to the door every time someone came in or left. Just taking in the people and the scenery.

"If you want to appear inconspicuous then maybe you should take that disgusting jumper off and stand up straight. You look like a disgruntled grizzly bear, especially in this heat." Leila stated arrogantly as she wrinkled her nose up at the sight of Thalia.

Thalia didn’t answer straightaway, just waited in line to order her drink, looking at the board above her head she simply did not want to give her the satisfaction of showing how anxious she was and tried to pretend that she wasn’t there in her head.

Leila studied her in silence for a few moments as the line moved forward; keeping the thoughtful silence until it was her go to order. Lifting a hand up to the person behind the till so they would stop talking before asking Thalia; "What do you want? I'll get yours for you. I like a Coconut Iced Latte with two shots of sugar-free Caramel; you ever tried it? It's perfect in this weather."

“No I haven’t, but you don’t have to.” She told her, looking up at her, she might have been 28years but she was as nervous as a 20 year old

"Do you want to try it or tell the lady what you normally get?" Leila questioned bluntly, though not unkindly. "Or should I order what I normally get for you too? It's my cousin paying anyway, not me. I don't have my own fucking money."

“You and me both.” She whispered. “Yeah sure I’ll try it.”

Leila raised an eyebrow in curiosity before shaking shaking her head and waving the lady behind the till away as permission to get their drinks which she done, disgruntled. "You're like... super old though; like my cousin. When I'm super old I'll have plenty of my own money."

Thalia didn’t really react but she didn’t appear to appreciate that comment either.

"No offence." She added non-chalantoy afterwards; pressing the credit card down to pay for the drinks as they were placed on the counter. "I bet my cousin would like you; he's just as sensitive. Do you want to have your drink with us? It might make him take the heat off me."

“I wouldn’t want to intrude.” She told her. “Thank you anyway.”

"Suit yourself," Leila shrugged, taking her drink and heading back to her seat.

Thalia went to sit at a table away from everyone and she pulled her hood down letting her hair fall over her shoulder.

"You just got yourself another one, that isn't what I asked you to do. I asked you to buy me one." Colson complained as Leila approached, letting out a slow sigh as he raised to his feet and snatched the credit card from her to go to the counter himself.

"Serves you right." Leila snorted.

Thalia watched out of the window as she sipped her drink. She was close enough to the counter to get things but not close enough to be in any one’s way or at least try not to be.

Colson returned to the booth once he got his drink.

Thalia eyes had watched him the whole time mainly out of curiosity, before she went back to looking out of the window

They remained where they were.

They remained where they were.

Soon Thalia poked through her pockets and pulled out some money, before she walked to the counter and she asked for three chocolate chip muffins, she put hers in a napkin and then into her pocket before she carried the other two over to Colson and Leila.

"Oh... hey." Leila greeted as she noticed her approach, offering a half smile; "Wassup? You changed your mind?"
