Is this destiny?

Chapter 1158 - Missions To Fend Off Marcus' Attacks (2)

When Sarah and Aiden finished with instructions to the kids, the two of them got ready and spoke with Masika and Imani. They gave them a quick overview of the mission that Eric and his people will do and told them to be ready to join them in few hours. Plan is that Eric will handle the mission, while Masika and Imani will be sniper support and observers at the same time.

While Sarah and Aiden were on their way to the compound at the outskirts of Los Angeles where Eric and other 21 bodyguards are, Sarah decided to call them Eric's squad (for now).

Sarah and Aiden didn't bother to wear masks in front of Eric's squad, because they saw them already (even though Sarah was a hot blonde Russian bodyguard). They know Sarah's and Aiden's real identities but Eric and his men don't know what positions Sarah and Aiden hold in the army of Chaos. With decoys effectively pulling attention from Sarah and Aiden, the two of them are not worried so much about people associating them with the army of Chaos.

Noah welcomed them. He didn't see his mistress in a long time and Noah secretly hoped that he can get some alone time with Sarah so that she can reward him (he wants to get slapped).

Sarah looked at the performance reports of Eric's squad members and she and Aiden did three minute spar matches with each of them, to assess them personally.

Members of Eric's squad were surprised when they witnessed Aiden's skills. They were all previously employed by the people who are close to Marcus White, and they know Aiden as the second kid in the main White family, Jeffrey's brother. And while following their previous employers, they heard many bad things about Oscar, Jeffrey and Aiden, mostly how useless and incompetent they are, and that they don't deserve to be the main branch of the White family. As people who value strength and skills, they all silently agreed that they need to reevaluate their opinion of Aiden.

Sarah saw them looking at Aiden with sparkles in their eyes and thought how if it continues like this, these people will pledge their loyalty to Aiden. But those were just her thoughts, because Eric's squad sees Sarah as their Boss and the more they spend time with her, the more they admire her.

After their spar sessions, Sarah told them that she is pleased with what she saw, but... "Honestly, you are still not at the level of the army of Chaos, however you are getting there. Keep up the hard work."

Sarah saw that the men exchanged confused glances, but no one asked anything. She interpreted their reaction as displeasure and continued: "I want to share my future plans for you. There are twenty-two of you and I believe that you should be split into four smaller units. Each unit will have a leader. Right now, Eric is representing all of you, but who will be the leader depends on your performance. Leader in the army of Chaos will go beyond beating and handling weapons. I am looking for leaders who will execute their mission and return with their whole unit alive. No one gets left behind… We expect you to be loyal to us, but also to each other as well. We have our ways of knowing what happened, and if we conclude that you took unnecessary risks and jeopardized safety of your unit, you will be demoted…"

Most of the men are older than Sarah, but they felt good knowing that she cares about them as people. That is different from their previous employers who expected them to be their shield from harm, and if they get hurt to the point of being unable to perform their duties… they will get replaced.  

All members of Eric's squad were excited to hear that they get their mission!

Right on cue, Masika and Imani arrived.

All men looked curiously at two masked figures, obviously females… and they look like kids.

"Allow me to introduce you to two generals of the army of Chaos…", Sarah addressed Eric's squad. "I have one advice for you: don't underestimate them. For any doubters we would demonstrate a show of strength, but we are short on time now, so you need to trust me on this one. The two of them will be your sniping support, and in case anyone is hurt, they are proficient in first aid as well. Any questions?"

Seeing that no one said anything, Sarah continued with details of the mission.

"A convoy of trucks will be intercepted South of Sacramento. Your duty is to ensure convoy's safety. In the army of Chaos we follow few rules when dealing with enemies: if they run, let them go; if they defend, hurt them; if they attack, kill. However, this is not a typical mission, and you are to assume that enemies will attack you. You understand what that means?"

"We are going for a kill.", Eric responded.

"Correct. Second rule about missions is that whatever enemy has, if it's useful we take it, if it's not, we destroy it. Don't leave traces behind. You need to be swift, because you will not have the cover of the night. Convoy is scheduled to stop at a resting point, and they plan to attack it there. I recommend that you take out enemies before the convoy arrives…"

Sarah appointed Eric as the mission leader and he recommended another bodyguard, Zack to be the second in command. Sarah and Aiden gave to Eric and Zack one tablet each which will help them scout the area for enemies.

"How do they work?", Zack asked while looking at the tablet.

"They control these…", Sarah made a movement with her hand and ten drones appeared above them.

Eric's squad was impressed. They all thought how this looks like they will star in a sci-fi movie!

Sarah and Aiden discussed with Eric and Zack the mission, and gave their suggestions while Masika and Imani observed. After answering their questions, Eric's squad (and Masika and Imani) headed toward their destination in four vans.

Sarah didn't forget to mention that if anything happens to Masika and Imani, she will hold Eric and Zack responsible.

"To you, they are generals of the army of Chaos. To me, they are my daughters.", Sarah told them.

Sarah's words made Masika and Imani smile while warm and fuzzy feeling spread through them. They would hug Sarah, but in front of the Eric's squad it's not... general-like.

Sarah does not fears that the enemy will get them, but there is always a possibility of being betrayed. No matter how capable Masika and Imani are, Sarah feels responsible for their wellbeing. She saw that Aiden gave her 'don't overreact' look, but she can't help it, alright?

Masika and Imani assured Sarah that they will be vigilant.

"Don't worry about us, and focus on your mission.", Masika told Sarah.

…

"Thoughts?", Sarah asked Aiden when the four vans were out of sight.

Aiden put his arm around Sarah's shoulders and pulled her closer. "They are all seasoned fighters who know how to handle weapons. With Masika and Imani, ten drones and communication equipment we gave them, I am confident that they will be successful. Eric and Zack know how to plan a mission and we will see how they perform when they lead a team."

Sarah agreed with Aiden.

Eric's squad did few smaller missions of defending properties which are under control of the army of Chaos, but this is their first real mission. It is a test of their teamwork and loyalty. Sarah and Aiden will be watching them.

To Noah's disappointment, Sarah and Aiden left and he didn't get his reward for good performance (slaps), but Sarah promised him that the next time he will get a double reward (when Aiden is not there, because he flips the lid).

Aiden is aware of 'rewards' which Sarah gives to Noah occasionally, but when he thinks of Noah's ecstatic expressions while Sarah is hitting him, Aiden wants to give him a beating as well. A lot of it! And Aiden is confident that Noah's moans would be in pain and not in pleasure.

Aiden still remembers how he beat up Noah in that nightclub when they were punishing everyone who dared to plot against them during Jeff's wedding. And with every punch, Noah didn't make a sound, like it's not affecting him at all! But when Sarah hits him, Noah's eyes lit up and his expression is like he is floating in ecstasy. Bastard.
