Leah, Amelia, Kimiko, Trix, and Riya

"-Amelia, Kimiko, Trix, and... Riya."

At the mention of the last name, Steven jerks forward a bit in surprise. "Huh? I thought I was going?"

Leah's expression doesn't waver. "Sorry Steven, there's been a change of plans, you'll be busy watching the cameras tonight."

Steven sighs and rolls his eyes. "Really? You couldn't have told me that this morning?"

Leah doesn't answer, simply shrugging her shoulders and reading over something on the papers for a moment, her attention immediately leaving Steven.

"Shit... Night shift starts at 9 right? I'm leaving then if you don't need me here. Might as well get some sleep..." With a huff, he turns to walk out.

"Actually you'll be taking the remainder of Kimiko's shift as well, you're needed immediately." Riya speaks up, her voice filled with more venom than even Leah.

"Fuck off." Steven slams the door and heads in the direction of the elevator. In the prolonged silence Amelia looks at Kimiko, who gives a confused shrug.

Finally Leah speaks again. "Anyway, everyone else can stay here as usual, but as always during a raid keep your radios on you in case we need to send a message back. That is all."

At the end of the short talk, everyone once again starts chattering and slowly filing out. Amelia receives a few congratulations and some pats on the back for her first raid as they exit. Soon only the 5 girls remain in the room.

"Well, let's get to it..." Leah says, walking out towards the barracks.

Riya follows behind, stopping for a moment and glaring at Amelia. "You better not get us into some shit, alright?"

"Jesus... I get it!" Amelia complains back.

As her and Kimiko walk out, the Japanese girl tries to lighten the mood. "She just cares about us, she doesn't mean it..."

"Yeah I guess."

After a while, everyone else has suited up and armed themselves to go alongside Amelia. Though their outfits are more generic and uniform, making her stand out like a sore thumb. She can tell Riya doesn't like her choice, probably because of "standing out" or something even though they'll be out in the dark.

As they load into the trucks, Leah checks everything off, making sure they have enough gas, tire pressure, the usual stuff. Soon she slaps the side of the door and lets Riya know they're good to go, and soon, the raid group heads out, barely an hour from their destination.
