BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1109 - Back From Austin, Heading To Fairfield
~ Los Angeles ~
Monday, March 17
Sarah and Aiden returned early morning from Austin with their eight companions: Jesse, Oni, Ron, Zula, Allen, Daniel, Tejan and Julius.
After handling their matters in the fight clubs in three teams on Sunday evening, Sarah and Aiden were pleased with everyone\'s performance.
Sarah and Aiden went to the Black & White fight club. She regretted that she didn\'t get to meet Blackstain (again). She wondered if it\'s possible that he is avoiding her on purpose, especially when Aiden said how Blackstain is usually every evening in one of three fight clubs. They found eleven new recruits for the army of Chaos in the Black & White club.
Allen, Daniel, Tejan and Julius got few rounds each in the arena and won all of their fights.
...
Ron and Zula were the second team and went to the White Valley fight club where they found four new recruits. One young man made inappropriate remark toward Zula, not knowing who they are. Ron challenged the man to the fight and when the man saw that he is facing Surge who in that club has 32 wins and 0 losses, man\'s fighting spirit diminished. However, that didn\'t stop Ron from teaching him a lesson.
"No one gets to mistreat my girlfriend!", Ron exclaimed while punching the daylight out of the man.
Zula watched all this from the VIP room with the help of the zoom from Eve-vision and smiled. He called her his girlfriend. And he defended her honor. Those butterflies in her stomach must be what it feels like to have a boyfriend who will protect you.
...
Jesse and Oni went to the Black Hole nightclub as the third team, and they found seven new recruits. Their visit there was without any incidents. Oni got her turn in the arena and earned herself 15 consecutive victories before joining Jesse in the VIP room.
"How was it?", she beamed while expecting a praise.
"Not bad.", he responded aloofly.
Oni made a face and repeated silently that one of these days she will make Jesse to stop seeing her like a child!
...
On their way back to Los Angeles, they discussed events from their weekend in Austin.
The four boys from Sierra Leone were impressed with everything they saw, and they promised to work extra-hard so that they can become regulars for missions.
"Spying, fighting, kidnaping… you name it and we will do it!", Daniel announced enthusiastically.
Sarah and Aiden exchanged confused looks at the word \'kidnapping\'. Do they look like bandits?
"We will be fast, efficient, reliable… whatever you need!", Julius added.
"We need you to focus on your education first!", Sarah reminded them.
...
As soon as they returned to the Cliffside villa on Monday morning, other kids surrounded them and listened to the stories about their adventures over the weekend. The four boys from Sierra Leone enthusiastically explained everything in great detail.
Sarah and Aiden went to meet with kids who requested to talk in private.
Oni expressed her desire to shadow Jesse.
"I have so much to learn from him. If there are more paired missions and he is going, please consider me as his teammate.", Oni told Sarah and Aiden.
Oni is very impressed with Jesse and the more time she spends by his side, her feelings for him are growing. She is masking them as \'I will show him I\'m not a child\', but she can\'t deny that her heart skips a beat whenever their eyes meet. From their dancing at the party, him shielding her from anyone who approached her at the party and in the fight club, his deep voice, to the way he drinks beer, his dashing moves when he fights… she thinks that he is cool. Every time he pats her head she is reminded that he sees her as a child, but she will not give up. Soon, he will see her as a young woman she is and then… she does not know what after that, but that does not matter at this point.
Ron and Zula requested a day off next Sunday. They are planning to go to Disneyland.
"Can you not tell the others?", Ron asked Sarah and Aiden.
"Why? Are you ashamed to go on a date with Zula?", Sarah probed.
"No. But if others know where we are going, they will want to join and I am afraid that Zula will give in, and… well, if others join, then it\'s not a date. Is it?", Ron explained.
"I will NOT give in!", Zula protested.
Ron grinned. Zula just admitted in front of Sarah and Aiden that she wants to go on a date with him, just the two of them.
Before lunch Sarah spoke with Nala and Aiden with Haru about relationships and intimacy (again).
Sarah did her best to stay calm when Nala told her that she and Haru went all the way.
"Well, I can\'t stop you. Sometimes things happen and emotions take over and it\'s useless to fight it.", Sarah admitted while remembering her state of mind from just over one year ago. "Make sure you are using protection and that you are enjoying whatever you are doing. If he bullies you, come to me. OK?"
In the room next door, Aiden was giving advice to Haru: "Treat her well. If she is not comfortable and enjoying, she will look for a way to avoid you and maybe even leave you."
Sarah and Aiden spent the afternoon packing, resting and following up on the current status on the attacks on the Morgan family.
Morgan family is financially crippled, and Marcus is refusing to see them. They are expecting that by the end of the week asset transfer to Penny (aka Harriet) will be completed, and as a final blow they will transfer the hotels as well. In less than two weeks, Penny will control resources of Morgan family, and she will get to decide how she wants to handle her parents. It\'s satisfying to see karma work so quickly. Penny does not care much about the money or properties or anything else. But she cares how that will mean that she can see Benjamin again.
In the evening, Sarah and Aiden met with Noah to hear status of the Chaos organization after their weekend absence, discussed latest batch of recruits and finalized the plans related to their decoys.
They are training their decoys since Aiden woke up. Now that Aiden revealed himself in the public, they decided that it\'s time to let decoys out on missions as well.
Decoys are six people selected from current members of the army of Chaos. They are three females (physically similar to Sarah) and three males (physically similar to Aiden) who form three teams, dressed in same the clothes and same masks over their faces as Sarah and Aiden when going on a mission. As part of their personalized training, they learned few moves and behavior that Sarah and Aiden have.
Goal of decoys is to cause a confusion over identities of Nyx and Erebus and also it adds to the incredible stories about their supernatural powers: they can be at multiple places at the same time.
As part of the efficient use of decoys, Sarah and Aiden will attend few high-profile events while their decoys are attacking in the field. This will make their enemies (King included) chase shadows.
Back to present…
Sarah and Aiden packed their necessities in a suitcase and made sure they left instructions to everyone while they are in Fairfield.
If nothing urgent shows up, they will stay there until Friday.
